When EMailing a photo the automatic compression wizard npow only works on
Bitmap images. It will not recognise any other extensions, eg JPG. Has
anybody any suggestion as to how this can be correcred please.

Two things to try...

1) Running Disk Cleanup to delete Temporary
Internet Files may help:

(310312) Description of the Disk Cleanup
Tool in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310312

Also the following article explains how to
empty the Temporary Internet Files folder:

(260897) How to Delete the Contents of the
Temporary Internet Files Folder
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=260897

And...the following info previously posted
by MVP Yves Alarie may be useful:

Files downloaded from the internet or e-mail,
may be in a subfolder of your Temporary
Internet Files folder.

The folder name will start with OLK and
there will be a number after OLK. The easiest
way to find this folder is to search for OLK*
and once found open it and see if the files
are there.

Click on Start and Search and then:
All files and folders
More advanced options
Search system folders
Search hidden files and folders
Search subfolders

In the top textbox "All or part..."
type in exactly this OLK*
and click search

This search will take a while but should
return all folders starting with OLK.

Open the folders, change the view to
Thumbnails and see if the unwanted files are
there. If so, just select them and delete. They
will go to your Recycle bin, delete them from
there also. Or, hold the Shift key down when
you delete them in order to prevent them from
going into your Recycle bin.

2) 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"

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply to this problem. I've done both
options but the problem remains. I identified only one OLK folder and that
came with dire warnings about opening-------I'm sure you will be familliar
with what I mean.

When I bought this notebook earlier in the year I backed up the operating
systems and I am tempted to go down that road, because additionally System
Restore is inoperative even though the immobilising check box is clear

An update
The problem has been resolved the culprit was probably some software
downloaded, the Registry has been corrected and I was helped by
