Unable to reduce photo size when emailing
in [Outlook Express]
|
From: Ting Tong on 3 Jul 2008 21:28 Hi I've had a few problems with my Outlook Express recently, one of which is the inability to send smaller photos. Until recently, I might be browsing in 'My Pictures', select a few pix to email and then right-click to 'Send to email recipient', whereupon a window will pop up asking me if I want to make my pictures smaller when emailing. When I select yes, it does just that and automatically inserts the reduced photos into an OE window for sending. That doesn't work any more. Any ideas how I can get it going again?

From: Michael Santovec on 16 Jul 2008 14:32 You are welcome. The feature is not part of Outlook Express but part of Windows. The images get reduced before they are ever passed to OE. Apparently something modified the registry to disable the feature in Windows. The command I gave restores that setting. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "vsbauwens" <vsbauwens(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E958158C-B327-4B29-B829-F9B9D692CD73(a)microsoft.com... > thanks - was very frustrated with the impossibility to reduce size > spent hours searching why in th eprogram > then found you > thanks > vsbauwens > > "Michael Santovec" wrote: > >> To restore the Resize Picture option during sending >> >> Go to Start, Run and enter >> >> REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL >> >> >> >> -- >> >> Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm >> >> >> >> "Ting Tong" <me(a)privacy.net> wrote in message >> news:eAWpFVX3IHA.4476(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> > Hi >> > >> > I've had a few problems with my Outlook Express recently, one of >> > which >> > is the inability to send smaller photos. >> > >> > Until recently, I might be browsing in 'My Pictures', select a few >> > pix >> > to email and then right-click to 'Send to email recipient', >> > whereupon >> > a window will pop up asking me if I want to make my pictures >> > smaller >> > when emailing.
