Hello,
I am stumped about what's going on. I used to be able to send picture files
directly from the "My Pictures" folder by clicking on "email the selected
files" command. Internet Explorer (which is set as my default browser) would
open, I would be asked to give my hotmail account and password (because
hotmail is set as my default email program), and a new email composition
would open up with the pictures already attached. It was sweet! Then,
somehow, my settings or something got changed, and now it only works about
10% of the time. Most of the time, IE will open up, but it will say "The page
cannot be displayed" and "cannot find server". But I know nothing is wrong
with the hotmail server because I'm able to get to it if I manually type in
the hotmail address. I feel that something is being miscommunicated between
the "My pictures" window and IE, but I'm completely at a loss. Especially
because it does work sometimes.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!
Are you connected to internet when trying to send mail...
Is this problem only with pictures or with any other files?
