Hi! I am not a very computer literate person but for the last 2 days, when I
send a photo attachment with an email, It is huge. too big for the screen.
What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this? I have virus prot. & spywear prot
& all that security stuff and it has never done this before. I ran a scan &
I don't have anything. How do I fix this?

After you save the full-sized picture on your computer for future
use, use an image tool to reduce the size of the pictures you want
to send (and save them under a new name--so full-sized picture
PIC10032.jpg might be saved as PIC10032s.jpg).

================================
Try the following steps, maybe it will restore
the "Make all my pictures smaller" option:

go to...Start / Run and type:

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"

Also...have a look at the following free
PowerToy. Go to the following link and
download and install: ImageResizer.exe

http://tinyurl.com/36n

Then you can open any folder that contains
images and you will have an option to resize.
Just right click the selected image files and
choose Resize Pictures from the menu. You
can select one image or a whole group.

The program will place the resized copies in
the folder with your originals.
(Tip: *Never* overwrite your originals)

To insure that images in both portrait and
landscape orientation are resized to the
same dimensions...go to...Advanced...
and enter the largest number in both fields.
IOW...for 600x800...enter 800 in both fields.
