Windows Vista Premium. I'm able to select a Photo in Windows Photo Gallery and click Email which attaches the photo to a blank email. I can then fill in the Address and words...and send it. But.....I can't seem to Create the email, then click the "attach paper clip icon" and open Windows Photo Gallery to select the photo for the attachment. I'm sure it's obvious I'm not very sharp with this stuff but I'm hoping someone can give me a simple method to do this. All else seems to work OK with Vista and Windows Vista Mail.
Using Windows Mail I've always been able to email photos, and also compressed folders. This morning I have been unable to send emails with pictures attached to them. They remain in the outbox and block other outgoing mail. I can send an email with no attachment. I don't know if loading Apple Quicktime has caused my mailing problem.This morning I also downloaded Apple Quicktime. I needed this program in order to view movies taken with a Panasonic Lumix camera. The digital JPGs that I upload to computer can be viewed with Windows Photo Gallery, but the movies can't. I want to look at the movies I have taken with my camera, and share them. I want to share my photos as well, via email.
it only happens when sending pictures from my work email addy to my home computer. RE: Emailng jpg pix 100kb or less from work that has Windows 2000 with Outlook 2003 to my personal email addresses on my home computer (Vista) with Comcast & Yahoo.If I email pictures from my work email addy (either attached or inserted into the email body) to my personal email addy and hope to see them on my home computer using Windows Mail with Comcast, the email comes in without the attached or inserted picture and there is no message that there was a problem. I made sure I'm on the safe list and not on the blocked list. When I am at work and open Comcast email on the internet, the attachments are with the emails and open fine. When I am at home and open Comcast email on the internet instead of via Windows Mail, there are no attached or inserted pictures. When at home, the same emails with attached photos sent to my Yahoo email are delivered and open fine.
when I first started with Vista, Photo Gallery would show only the photo i clicked on. Now when i click on any photo it shows all the photos i created since I was born. how to change the view back to only showing one photo?
Is it possible when viewing photos in Vista photo gallery to display my picture files in an order other than by name, date taken or file size etc.. ie the options offered under 'the sort by' feature. I would like to customise each folder to display the photos in an order of my choosing but this does not appear possible for the photo gallery in vista or the live photo library i have just downloaded and installed.
I recently bought a new Vista, and saved a few pictures off of the internet, and saved them to my 'Downloads' folder. I went to preview them(in Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Paint, and Picture Manager), and they would not show up.
there were 27 files: 11 PNG, 2 GIF, and 14 JPEG. 3 JPEG and2 PNG will work,but the rest won't. I attempted to upload them to photobucket, with the same results.
To email a photo from Photo Gallery I click on a photo. Then I click on "E-mail" in the toolbar which brings the "Attach Files" box. I click "Attach" which brings up the complete email message format with attachment, as intended. However, the software always includes two text msgs in the body of the email. They are: "Your message is ready to be sent..." and "Note: To protect against computer viruses..."
I just installed Vista x64 and don't know what the difference between the "Windows Photo Gallery" that comes with Vista and the "Windows Live Photo Gallery" I can download. Is the download a newer version? Should I install it or just use the one that came with vista?
When I try to open a file (Word, Excel, pdf) directly from Windows Mail without saving the file, the associated program opens then I get an error message saying that the file C:WindowsSystem32 could not be found.
I have a "storage" drive (seagate sata 3.0gb, 320gb) with lots of files which was previously used (as a storage drive) with my xp pro 32 install, and after that, with my linux system via fuse+ntfs-3g. This drive is mountable in linux still, and all files appear to be intact. I would like to share this storage drive between my dual boot Vista Ultimate/Debian Etch (both 64) system, but if it is connected while trying to boot vista, vista will stop after the "loading" screen, and rest eternally on a black screen, before any welcome logo or logon screen.Without this drive connected, vista boots fine. Without my linux drive connected, and with the storage drive connected, vista still will not boot. Vista even sees my linux drive and all its partitions, but will not boot with the storage drive attached. I've tried booting and *then* connecting the drive, but it doesn't show up anywhere at all (my computer, device manager, disk management).I've searched EVERYWHERE for the last several months (ever since i bought vista near the end of september '07) and have found absolutely Zero clues as to why this is happening or how to fix it.
I uninstalled Microsoft office 2007 and after that I noticed that although the resolution of my laptop display is adjusted to maximum at 1280X800 but the icons appear a little blur at their edges and the messages boxes that open do not show all the matter and commands that are there (screenshot attached).
I have scanned my window’s registry and also I have checked all the files with scannow option but nothing was found wrong anywhere and also all the drivers are working properly. But I cannot change the resolution by any means and my problem remains the same.
I am trying to attach pictures to an outgoing email and they are inserting into the email way too large. Is there a solution to this? I have tried using Microsoft Picture Gallery and creating an email that way, but it won't let me. Outlook had a "wizard" for pictures so it was really easy.
I have Vista and of course the viewer as Windows Photo Gallery. Suddenly and without any apparent reason I can not open pictures attached to newsgroup messages with Windows Photo Gallery. The photo is visible in the body of the message, is saved where I want but when I try to view it the Windows Photo Gallery tells me this: "Could not find file xxx.jpg verify that the file name is correct and try again"
Whenever I try to open an attached (so far all Excel files) file to an incoming e-mail in Windows Mail, I am getting following Windows (Vista) message: "Windows cannot find 'file name w/ path'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again." Clearly this message is misleading since I have not typed any file name and/or its path. I just double-clicked the attached file name.
I'm pretty new to the whole Vista experience. Would one of you be able to tell me something? How can I attach a gif file to a word document. I know it's probably a stupid one but I can't figure it out.
I have a Ultimate 64 PC with a USB hard drive attached, a new problem has come up, hopefully someone can help me fix it.
When I start my PC; Windows is asking me what I want to do with the Drive, open the pictures, play the music, open it to view the content etc, it's as if I have just attached the drive.
If you are like me and have a NAS device on your network that is not compatible with Windows Vista, now you can tweak Windows Vista to make it work again. You do not even have to wait for your device manufacturer to release a new firmware any more! Just follow these steps below:
Click on the Start Button and key in secpol.msc in the search box and hit Enter.
When the Local Security Policy editor has loaded, expand Local Policies and select Security Options.
Scroll through the list and locate "Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level." Right click on this setting and select Properties....
I just installed a new MB (Biostar MCP6P M2+) and CPU AMD 64 x2 Brisbane 4200+ 2.2ghz. overclocked to 2.8ghz. and installed Vista x64 Premium OS. I was trying to import some pictures into Picasa from an SD card via a multi card reader on my Canon MP130 printer and the program froze. I shut it down. When I tried to use my multi card reader attached to the MB it wanted to format my disk??? is this because I am using a x64 system? After a few more attempts my entire system froze. I hard rebooted and when the POST comes up it only shows the CPU info and stops?
Since I installed IE8, I have had a lot of small glitches. I have been able to clean them all up. But this one has been completely resistant to all my attempts to solve it. Here is the problem. Please READ this and do not jump to conclusions (such as that the problem is a program association problem -- which it is NOT) that are not based on this scenario, nor recommend to me doing something that I have already tried.
- I receive a Word document attached to an e-mail. - I double click on the document in the ATTACH box of the received e-mail. - Windows Mail opens a MAIL ATTACHMENT window asking if I want to open the document. - Word 2007 opens. - Word 2007 opens a MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD window that says "This file could not be found. (C:...Filename ...)" where Filename is the name of the .DOC file.
The same thing happens with PDF files: Adobe Acrobat Reader opens but then opens an ADOBE READER window that says "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found.".........
I am trying to open jpeg image files from a CD on my new Vista PC laptop and it is not working. I think I burned them on a Mac - there is a small red Apple icon on the disc drive icon. I can see the jpeg files in the disc folder but can't open them by double-clicking the jpeg icons - nothing happens. I can't import them into Windows Photo Gallery. When I drag and drop them into Photoshop, it just opens blank white jpeg of the same dimensions. If I try to open them from within Photoshop, I get the error message: "A device attached to the system is not functioning". I can't copy the files onto my computer. I can open the images in Windows XP and Windows 2000, just not Vista. I assume the problem is because the discs were burned on a Mac (I could be wrong).
I copied some old jpg photos from a floppy disk and transferred them to a CD since my new computer doesn't have one and not all the photos would open and those that did had a "saw blade" edge to them...large pixels that don't look like that on my old compter. Most of the photos were 40-420mb. Only about 1/3rd would open up and when I tried to open or preview, I got a pop up that said, "Photo gallery can't open this photo or video. The file may be unsupported, damaged or corrupt. I used Nero 6 to do the transfer and never had that problem befofre. Any advise on a solution?
I have Vista Home Premium and my CD/DVD drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-115D ATA Device. I received a CD of photos from my niece in India. It won't open in my computer, but the green progress bar slowly runs across the address bar (location bar?) as if searching for the contents of the CD but it never opens the files. I took it to my friend's computer and he could open it right away and view the photos. I experimented by copying the CD on to another blank CD and the copy works perfectly on my computer. More recently I tried to open a CD of a backup of Word files from another computer. Similar thing - it took minutes to open with the green progress bar slowly crossing the address bar, and finally it opened but I could not open individual Word files. I had to copy and paste them to my hard drive, where I could open them.
I have just bought a new computer running Vista and it seems to remove photo attachments saying they are unsafe, but they are actually displayed in the email itself and let me save them from there. how to stop Windows mail from removing them.
PG has won't respond. I have gone to the MS tutorial and tried renaming...did not work. I have also read there might be some sort of bad web address somewhere in a file, but cannot find this. I have pulled my hair out over this one. I have Photo Gallery, not Live Photo Gallery.
When I send a photo attachment in a Windows Mail message the photo is sent BOTH as an attachment AND in the body of the message, and messages seem to take forever to send.
I am using Vista Home Premium. My mail sending format is HTML and I have unchecked the "send pictures with messages" box in the set HTML settings.
Just thought I'd pass along some info I came across after setting up my newest 64 bit machine and connecting an older but definitely not outdated Epson Perfection scanner. I really love this scanner and it's auto-restoration features for older photos, so I was not willing to give it up. I found the following website with instructions for finding the correct drivers. Nafcom's Crap Blog!: Epson Perfection 2480 Photo: Vista X64 drivers work in Windows XP X64!
Apparently, Epson built support for x64, but hid the drivers within the installer for 32 bit systems. No search on any version of their support website shows driver downloads under 64 bit. I did what was described in that article, and have my scanner working beautifully on Vista x64. I can say that I downloaded drivers both from the European site as well as the U.S. site. The driver file each installs is no different, but the scan utility is a slightly different version. I went with the U.S. version in the end, it being what looks like a higher version number (3.04a instead of 3.0u... hard to tell if there's any real difference, as there was no language issues or anything).
