Vista - Photo e-mai problem

With the Windows Live program on my Vista 64 system, the photo e-mail
function has stopped working properly within the past few weeks. Up until
then, it had uploaded photos properly.
Now when I send a photo e-mail, the message sits in the Outbox and doesn't
send. If I open the unsent message and click "send" again, the message does
send, but the message does not include the ability to open the photos to a
larger size or to view the photos in a slide show.
I just checked my update history and it appears that IE8 was installed a
couple of weeks before my last successful photo e-mail about a month ago.
However, there have been many security and other updates installed since then.

Actually, the last successful photo e-mail went out on June 24th, so whatever
happened was recent.

I just did a restore back to the 25th, which was as far back as I could go.
The photo e-mail problem is still there.

I have found out that I can still properly send photo e-mails under my wife's
login on this same computer. I also tried sending photos using the same
program on a different computer and had the same failure. However, I did get
an error that said that I've somehow exceeded my storage capacity on my
Comcast server, which is probably where my problem actually is. Now I need to
contact Comcast and see if the problem is really on their end.

Comcast has set a limit as to how many Photo-emails you can send. When you
have reached the limit, you have to wait 30 days before the " server " dump
them. Then you can start using the option again, meanwhile send them in
normal attachment format.
I have a similar situation ( from a different server ).

I just spoke with Comcast support and it appears that the problem is on their
end. I was only using less than 1% of my capacity, so I really wasn't over my
limit. They haven't fixed it yet, but they are working on it.

I am sorry, I have mislead you . It is not Comcast, it is the Microsoft
photo server.
See the reply I received when I had your problem :----

" If this is a Photo mail, you have to wait until the images age off of
the Microsoft photo server. This happens after 30 days. You can't
delete them any sooner.
In the mean time you can send them as attachments, or inline images
which don't store them on the Microsoft server."

It still doesn't make sense, since I probably haven't sent more than 10 photo
e-mails in the last 30 days and each one was usually less than 5MB worth of
photo files. Maybe someone from Microsoft will come on and help clear this up.

What is interesting is that the error says that the server is Comcast, but
that may explain why Comcast couldn't resolve the problem.

I believe the monthly limit is 500 images or 500 MB, whichever comes first.
If you exceed the limit, simply switch to a different Live ID.
