I have a problem with my windows xp home. When I use the
insertion option to place a photo in an email I can see
the photo clearly but when I send it all others seem to
see is an x where the photo should be. I never had this
problem with any other version of windows that I have
used. ANy suggestions on how to correct this?
 
A possibility is that the size of the photo file is too large.
Internet providers have limits on file size you can attach or insert with
e-mail.
Try resizing the file down.

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:
