| 325137 | 2005-02-15 04:50:00 | Use Picasa or my favourite Irfanview to resize the attach to the email rather than emailing from the programme. You can choose to show attachments inline (in the message body) but frankly, many AV and firewalls will strip it out. Have a look at your IE and OE security settings, they could be preventing the programme from sending emails with attachments. | Murray P (44) | ||

| 325140 | 2005-02-15 08:41:00 | Hi Seymour This is a fix for when the "Make my pictures smaller" feature becomes corrupt. It might fix your problem. Click start then run then type in REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL then click ok ( be sure to leave a space between *32 and SHIM*. a box will come up with DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded. Just click ok and then reboot your computer and it should work. |

| 325141 | 2005-02-16 03:51:00 | Joe Blogs: Thanks for your suggestion. I did as you suggested and received the response that you indicated I would but unfortunately it has not fixed what ever is corrupted. Perhaps I should add that I installed the powertools for windows as was previously suggested and that does in fact enable me to resize the images which then I am able to attach after I have gone through the additional step of resizing it first. I would just like to do it in one step on the fly so to speak as I am presumably supposed to be able to do. Any further suggestions would be appreciated. the highlander: Iran View also does not work either in reducing the size of images. |

| 325142 | 2005-02-16 05:23:00 | Joe Blogs: Iran View also does not work either in reducing the size of images. Oh, yes it does Seymour, but not automatically. You need to open the image in Irfanview- goto 'image' - resize. There you can specify the desired reduced pixel size. That takes care of reducing the image size, but for emailing it's best to also reduce the file size. This is done by selecting 'save as', where you can select the amount of compression, and hence the resulting file size. Thats the file to send by Irfanview. It is a little involved, but it does it very well to your requirements, as you can adjust both the image size and/or the file size. |

| 325143 | 2005-02-16 08:06:00 | I run Windows XP SP2 Home Edition. My E-mail client is Outlook Express. Most of my images in 'My Pictures' are JPEGS and of a large size which generally need to be reduced in size prior to e-mailing. When I wish to e-mail an image I right click the image in 'My Pictures' and select Send To > Mail Recipient. A dialogue box opens with radio button options to either 'Make all my pictures smaller' or 'Keep the original sizes'. I press the radio button to Make the pictures smaller and then press 'OK'. At this point nothing happens. I gather that a reduced sized picture is supposed to become attached to an e-mail to be sent, but as I said above Nothing appears at all. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. If I follow the same routine in the Image viewer program that came with my camera I get an error message that 'The mail software does not support MAPI or is not set correctly' My questions are: What is MAPI and how do I set Outlook Express to support it? Is this the reason that I get no response when I try to resize the image in 'My pictures'? Thanks for your help. Have you tried,view...go to...tick image toolbar auto? |

A dialogue box opens with radio button options to either 'Make all my pictures smaller' or 'Keep the original sizes'. I press the radio button to Make the pictures smaller and then press 'OK'. At this point nothing happens. I also had problems with this going through 'My Pictures". Read somewhere that you have to do as follows initially: 1. Open 'My Computer', open 'My Pictures' or folder that contains photo/picture. 2. If 'Tasks pane' is not showing at left of screen as shown in link below, -click on Tools>Folder options>General tab> then under 'Tasks' make sure 'Show common tasks in folders' is selected. This link shows the File and Folder tasks in the Tasks pane. here (sal.neoburn.net) Don't R/click the picture. Just select it and then click on 'Email this file' under File and Folder tasks in the Tasks pane. This is the only way I can get Windows XP Pro to resize and send my photos. Hope it helps anyway. |

| 325145 | 2005-02-16 21:48:00 | Bazza: Sorry I didn't make the point clearly. I can resize the image in IrfanView but it involves several steps. I just want to be able to resize the image on the fly in one step and generate a blank email document with the resized image automatically attached as I have been able to do on a friends computer. Cicero: Not too sure what you mean. MMM: I have the folder setup as you indicate. Unfortunately makes no difference. When I click ' E-mail this file' I do get the appropriate dialog box asking if I want to make the picture smaller and when I click OK I get a green bar moving across a band indicating that processing is taking place but then ...Nothing. No email document appears. Obviously something is corrupted probably in Outlook Express but I just don't know how to fix it. Your suggestions are welcome. |
