Since upgrading to 10.6, What do I need to install, to be able
to open PC Attachments? Thank You.

What are those attachments?
MS Word documents?
PDF files
Jpeg or TIFF?
something else?
Do you have a specific type of file that you get as attachments? Please tell us what type of file that is... "PC attachment" doesn't tell what type of file that is.

Email Attachments.

I already figured that out

But, I asked what type of file are those attachments?
Your attachments have some purpose.
Are they pictures, videos, Word documents, sound files, something else?
Yes, they are attachments! Do they have file extensions ( such as .jpg, .doc, .wav?)
Give us the full file name of one of those attachments. That may give a clue how to help you....

A couple are: Mime Type Video X-MS WMV. And, VND-MS-Powerpoint.

Thanks, but the complete file name would be more helpful.
Can you see the file name?

But, with the info that you provided, I think you have a powerpoint file, which should open if you have MS Office installed. Alternatively, Open Office, or NeoOffice should let you open that. Or, if you have iWork installed on your Mac, that should also open that file.
The other is some kind of video, I suppose. You should download and install the latest beta for Flip4Mac: http://dynamic.telestream.net/downlo...acwmv-beta.asp
