I am able to select a picture from my pictures, click on
send to, click on mail recipient. I get the box to send
via email and pick the small size and click O.K. Then
the box disappears, but I do not get a new message pop up
with the picture attached. I am using compuserve and am
online (dial-up) when I do this. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks
 
Try it another way, resize the picture first in your picture folder and then
insert it as an attachment. Certainly not as convenient, but will get you
out of a jam until this problem is fixed. You may also have a problem doing
this. Some e-mail providers will not allow attachments.

To decrease the size of the file for e-mail, web publishing etc.



Go to this site and download the free Image Resizer. Exe file in one of your
folder.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Once in your folder, double click on it to install it.

Once installed, you right click on a photo file (or on a group of selected
photo files).

Click on Resize image on the opening menu.

A window will open, select the size you want.

New files will be added in your folder, same name as original file but with
the word (small) added.



The first time you use it, you may not see Resize image on the opening menu
after you right click on the file or if you see it, it may not work. If so,
do the following:

Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox:

REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL

and press the Enter key.

Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI.



Also, you can download a free batch converter from here to resize pictures
and edit photos:
