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?

can any-one confirm that my Graphs card is knackered

when i bring up a window i get grey lines accross screen
also red looks very brint
PLEASE HELP

Try Uninstalling both your Graphics Card and Monitor(s) and then just re-boot.

Windows will automatically find these pieces of hardware again and re-load them properly back onto your system.

You can do this by right clicking on the 'My Computer' icon on your Desktop.
Select 'Properties'
Select 'Hardware'
Select 'Device Manager'

etc, etc

I'll take a guess this should sort you out. If it doesn't we need to think again. If we do, then a good bet would be to do with 'Overheating' but the stuff above is well worth doing first, anyhow.

It could be your graphics card but it could also be your monitor or a loose connection so it is best to check these first. Have you an old monitor that you can substitute?

hilary,

that was a joke suggestion, hence the ';)' at the end of it :)

yes thanks to all tried every-thing but
NEW GRAPHIC CARD did the trick 26
THANKS

First of all I suggest that you immediatly enable the XP firewalls on both machines.

Open a command propmt window on each machine and type "ipconfig /all" followed by enter and paste the results here.

Scussy,
Check the following :-

That the Tools/Internet options/connections/ is set to 'Never Dial a connection'

That the PC has obtained an IP address, from the start/run box type ipconfig and note the ip address. Then go to the other pc and open a cmd prompt (start/run/cmd enter) and type ping followed by a space and the ip address of the other PC eg ping 123.233.444.25

Let us know if that works or not and we can add some more tests.

thanks i'll try tomorrow,

also running win 2000,not xp,and i have restored my nortons firewall and zone alarm,just closed it for a few mins,my pc running ok,
but my dads pc has xp,how do you get the firewall working on that,
iam going to reload ntl drivers,see if that works,i just thought i had that with my pc once,

scussy, which pc are those settings from? can you post the same stuff from the other one.

Scussy

I'm sure that this is easily sortable but I just want to be sure what your configuration is.

You have two computers, are they connected together via a network cable? Are they connected to a comman hub? Are you trying to access the internet through a common connection?

hi,
the above settings is from my pc,
i have an ethernet hub,one cable for my pc and one for the boys pc,
i have in the taskbar 2 icons that tells me iam connected,when the boys pc network cable is unpluged i can see it from my pc,
the common connection to the internet is from NTL,into my pc via usb NTL modem,the network cable from my PC to hub,then cable from hub to boys PC,

the boys pc settings (ipconfig)
auto con ip.......................169.254.163.148

subnet mask.......................255.255.0.0

default gateway...................:


just like to add the boys PC is a mess,iam thinking of a clean install of win XP
or i will have to buy a new win 2000 pro cd, as my copy has been damaged,
one thing after another,

steve
