Cannot send files from My Documents or My Pictures through Outlook Express 6
I cannot pick out a picture from My pictures or My documents to send through my Outlook Express 6 or Google Mail. I highligt a picture and choose "E-mail this file" and a box comes up to choose the size of the picture I want to send. I choose, "make it smaller", then click OK, but nothing happens. It used to work. The only thing different with my computer is I recently installed Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student Version.Thank you in advance for your help!Michael George1 person needs an answerI do too
