| | Can't send Pictures I have been trying to send JPEG files by email unsuccessfully. I get no error message the only sign they haven't gone out comes when the folks I'm mailing say they never arrived. These are not large files (472kb). Is it maybe the security either in the Vista or the Norton? I can't figure out what or what to do to fix it. I'm a facepainter, I NEED to be able to send pictures...help! -- Sparkle |

| | Re: Can't send Pictures See if this solves your problem. Get rid of Norton (a disaster waiting to happen). Replace with AVG or Avast...both free. Disabling Norton is not enough. Uninstall it.

| | Re: Can't send Pictures Windows Mail is not compatible with most versions of Norton security software. As a test uninstall anything "Norton" and then try sending those pictures to yourself. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Sparkle" <Sparkle@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E8A17622-96B7-4E46-BEAD-74D22B2016D4@xxxxxx Quote: >I have been trying to send JPEG files by email unsuccessfully.

Does a header arrive at a recipient if there is no attachment? Is the file in your Outgoing or Send folder in e-mail? Do you get any indication on your network icon that there is data going out and did the file transition from the Outgoing folder to the Sent folder? What e-mail client are we talking about? Windows Mail? Bob F. |

Most of the antivirus programs from Norton or McAfee, and a recent one from Trend, cause assorted problems in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, and must be uninstalled, not just disabled, to stop them from creating new problems. Then, for Norton, run this cleanup program: <http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039> You may then need to remove your email account under Windows Mail, then create it again, to finish the cleanup. If this solves your problem, you may then want a replacement antivirus program. I recommend either avast! or AVG, either one with a custom install that tells it to leave out the part that scans email. http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0?prd=aff |

Windows Mail? >> Bob F. >> you check the sent mail file, is the .jpg attachment still attached? Looks more like it's an ISP or E-mail provider problem. Are you paying for this service? You don't by chance use one of those accounts that limit attachments, do you? Did this ever work or did this just start (not) happening. Who is your ISP and e-mail service provider? I can't think of a Vista security that would behave like this but I don't know about Norton. Can you shut off all e-mail testing in Norton? Bob F. |
