Every time I attempt to downlaod an attachment from my email (does not matter which email account) I get a message saying "Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. The request is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later." How can we fix that?

Also our yahoo accounts do not work correctly. It will not send out email, it does not auto-complete email addresses, and my setting to have it contain the original message in the reply does not work either.

What mail program are you using? If outlook or outlook express, check the security setting, in Tools, Options, to see of they are blocking access to attachments. It is the default behaviour of both to prevent them from opening potentially unsafe attachments. Your yahoo problem may be related, but not sure. if you use Outlook or OE to read your yahoo mail, then the same security setting would affect the yahoo mail also. if you are not using Outlook or OE to access your yahoo mail, then I am not sure what to have you try.
