Bigyin,

if it helps, here's what I do...

I guess that your problem is that your picture is too big (more then 250K) most digital cameras now take pics of at least 750K and maybe several megabytes.

Use Windows Explorer or 'My Computer' to find the picture that you want. Double Click on the picture and it opens (for me) in 'Microsoft Office Picture Manager'. Select 'picture' menu and then 'resize'. I pick 'Predefined Width & Height' as 1024 x 768.
Click OK.

If you want to keep the original size picture...  Click File, Save As and give your resized picture a new name.

Close Picture Manager. Choose 'Don't Save' if you have already renamed or 'Save' to overwrite the original. As a check, you can hover over the file in Explorer and it will tell you the new size.

Back in the forum new message page... Click browse just below the message compose box and find the resized pic.

Should be straightforward from there.

If you don't have Office Picture Manager then you will have to use another program to reduce the size of the pic. Your camera probably came with some editing software.


Pete.
