Why is it that my yahoo e-mail attachments (e.g. Word, MPEG, PDF files etc) cannot open properly?

You might need the proper format equipment on your PC first. Or get them updated.

There are several reasons why your attachment might not be showing properly:


You might have problems viewing an attachment if your browser is not properly configured to view that type of file. Usually, the easiest solution is to upgrade your browser to the most recent version:


Download the Firefox browser


Download the Internet Explorer browser


If you're having trouble reading an Adobe PDF file, you'll need to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which allows you to open and read these types of files..


You might also have problems viewing an attachment if it was sent in an unreadable "encoding type." When a message is sent, the sender might be able to choose an encoding type. If possible, the sender should use MIME encoding.
