    Hi there, It all depends which e-mail program you are using/ Like in yahoo you press attach after selecting a file from the computer and then it takes a while and then shows that file attached.

    So when u press attach, what happens next>? Does the page stay as such or does it change or go blank... there might be a problem in your brwser as well or may be your antivisrus scanning.
    I wanted to thankyou a million times but its a shame that I can press the button just once :T

    How big is this picture? It may need to be reduced in size before you try to e-mail it. You can do this with a free program like Irfanview.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
  • Im emailing from outlook, when i browse for the file it appears but then goes grey if that makes sense
  • Are you using pop-up blocker software cause i had the same problem with using hotmail. But worked when i pressed ctrl+clicked the link. Might be something totally differnt on outlook though.
