When I am sufing the web and click on a picture to email it, I get the
following error message:

"THE CURRENT DOCUMENT TYPE CANNOT BE SEND AS MAIL. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEND A
SHORT CUT INSTEAD?"

I know this is unique since it does not happen on my other WinXP computer.

Click to expand...

email program?
 
no not in the email program.

Assume that we are at www.cnn.com........and there is a picture that I want
to send someone........the steps would be, right click on the picture and
then click on "E-mail Picture" which would then launch the email client, be
it Outlook Express, Outlook or Incredimail.

However, when I do these steps, I get the following error message "The
current document type cannot be sent as mail. Would you like to send a
Shortcut as well?"

This is unique to this machine since my other computer works fine.

I have compared all of the IE and OE settings between the 2 computers and
they match.

I just cant find what is wrong.
 
CORRECTION............the error message should read"

"The current document type cannot be sent as mail. Would you like to send a
Shortcut instead?"
 
He was asking what email program you use.

wwwhhhhhhhoooops sorry.

I use Incredimail.........and I have been using it for the last 3years
without any problems.......this started last Thursday I think.

I disabled both my Macafee and Webroot Spysweeper and tried again.

I even switched to OE as the default and nothing worked.
 
See this article for possible help:

OLEXP: "Send To" and E-mail Links Do Not Work Using Outlook Express as
Default

There is a very interesting thread on this issue and a possible resolution

Perhaps it will provide some further information.


Also, if the images are not cached (put in your TIF) per code on the web
page, this operation may also fail.

If no joy, the workaround would be to save the image to your desktop, then
insert it into your email from there.
 
Thanks for the assist guys........but it was resolved.

START >>>>>> RUN then type in regsvr32 ole32.dll then press enter.

Apparently Outlook Express was not registered in the registry..do not know
what happened.

Please save this link as I have seen post all over the web with the same
problem.

Again thank you so much for all of the assistance.

May the force be with you all.

Despite what the filename might suggest, OLE32.DLL is a Window files, not an Outlook Express file (OLE = Object Linking and Embedding)
