Vista - One or more of the pictures in this message could not be found

I am actually trying to send a short music file (not a picture), but I'm
still coming up with this msg. Why does it give us the option of inserting
background sounds if it won't work? Why can't I send my song?

Make sure that file isn't open in some other program.
Windows Mail can't attach documents or images that are
still open elsewhere.

Gary-

I appreciate your attemt to help me, but I'm not trying to attach a music
file. I'm actually trying to send the e-mail with the music playing in the
background, but it doesn't work whether the file is open or not. In fact, I
even tried sending the file as an attachment and setting it in the background
(thinking maybe the problem was that the program could no longer find the
file after the e-mail was sent) but that doesn't even work. Maybe you can
still help me now that you know what I'm trying to do.

Thank You!!!

Sorry, I misread your issue as wanting to send a music file as an
attachment. I don't know how to embed the music file in the email
so it will play in the background when opened. Perhaps one of the
other responders here is familiar with that technique.

this inability to use a file because it is in use by a folder window or some
preview device is ludicrous, it defeats the purpose of drag and drop.
microsoft, you suck

i only want to send a picture in my email. i don't want no trouble, just
tell me how to send a picture. not an attachment, a picture that is viewable
by the recipient. there are limited settings in the preferences and when one
does insert picture, it still pops up that stupid message. so where's the
cancer?

I'm sure Microsoft has a good reason for this limitation.
There's no reason why you can't use drag and drop on a closed file.

Absolutely normal operation.

This is NOT just a Microsoft or Windows limitation. Most applications cannot
open or access a file that is in use by another application.

Just another example of the idiotic "fashionable" practice of blame Microsoft,
blame Windows, blame Vista...

Hi Robin.

The only way I know is to get in to html and have it embedded in the page
like a web page. Myabe design the email in word and export it etc...

Hello,

Nearly every time I try to forward something with images in it like simple

Thanks.
