When I try to view an attachment in a mail I get a box which says activate silverlight. When I try this the screen freezes, In plugins i have set silverlight to always activate. I can see the same attachment perfectly in IE.

Hi

I have had a look at the system details that you supplied and it appears that you do not have the Silverlight plugin installed.

I would recommend that you follow the steps in the this article (link). It will walk you through checking to see if you have the plugin, and then point you in the right place to install it.

I hope this helps, but please come back here if you need any further assistance.
