Bresie, sorry I went out to meet a friend for a quick coffee and only just got back 3.5 hours later.

OK this problems sounds fairly nasty, but I am not sure what has happened, can you run scandisk from a command prompt? If you are arround please post here and I will send you my phone number and I will try and help over the phone.

Obviously, the coffee was in outer space...??

Doc actually it was in a cafe on Hastings seafront called "CaveMoon", so nearly ;-)

Morning space thanks for the reply still trying i am on

Bressie I have your number and will call in a few minutes. I suggest you remove your number from your post.

bryan, could you send me an email so i can get your email address, i want to email you a bit of info. Cheers tim

Tim got your note have sent thanks for your time

Trying to send a picture to someone and this appears?

The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'SMTP', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D

Your email setup appears to be wrong Dailos, in particular the SMTP server name. Go into Tools/Accounts and check that the details are correctly set up (the ISP will have instructions on doing this).

Kayak
How do you go into "Tools/Accounts" ?

You start Outlook Express and then look at the top of the window...

Thanks Kayak, going to have to get someone to set it up...dont know how to start Outlook Express, there is no icon for it?
Dont waste your time on it, i aint got a clue!
d.

Now I'm confused Dailos, what are you using as your mail program? Or have you been using webmail (mail on a web page) up to now?

The icon for Outlook Express should be under Start/Programs.

I click on a photo i took and press "send to mail recipient" an Outlook Express window opens, i type in an e-mail address and press send and then i get the error message.
I can confuse the best of them Kayak, i would love to be more computer literate but dont ever see myself going to lessons.

Well it sounds like your Outlook Express is not set up properly. I'm guessing that you don't use it to send your other mail since you don't know how to get into it :-)

D instead of using send to mail recipient, just open your normal mail program and drag the file into the mail then drop it in the blank email, add the ddress as normal and send.

Your using something other than Outlook express as yoiur main prog but the send to mail recipient want to use OE.

Dailos,

email the pic to me and ill forward it on if you are having difficulties ;)

This might sound really silly, but if Dailos can't send his piccie to one of his friends because he hasn't configured his e-mail program, how will he be able to send it to JT instead?

:o)

Could the answer be that Dailos uses 2 computers (like many on here)? And might it be that he has his e-mail program installed on only one of those PC's (I do)? And might it be that the piccie that he is trying to send is on the other PC?
