For instance?
Are you accessing your email via the account's webmail page (e.g., http://mail.live.com) or in a Mail Client (e.g., Outlook; Windows Live Mail)?

How does your question pertain to Windows Update?
Is Open Office installed?

What about email attachments. Some open and some do not. These are NOT open office.
open office is not installed. I am trying to open items I saved off my old computer...before my new one with windows 7.
Well, an ODS file is an Open Office file so I suspect you'll have to install Open Office before you'll be able to open ODS files & attachments.
