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

i have a problem with networking,
my main pc in office is ok,connect using ethernet hub,
my boys pc does not connect to internet,i have checked the cable and can see when it's been unplugged with the icon in the taskbar,
i have disabled all firwalls and security programs on both pc's and still it does not connect,
both pc's running win 2000 pro,
any settings in internet explorer i need to set or any other settings i need to check,i did leave his pc running ok a couple of days ago,i think some settings have been changed but he says not,

many thanks if anyone can help.

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

scussy, you can get copies of W2000 on eBay for only a few pounds, licensing not an issue in your case if you already have an original disk.

scussy, OK you are using INterenet connection sharing fo the connection from your machine. It would be better to buy a cheap router and connect your cable into that and then into the hub and share them like that, its also more sucure as most routers have a basic firewall built in. However ICS should work and I think you have had it working before.

Have a look at the properties of the conectoid for your USB modem (start/settings/Network and Dial up connections) and under the Sharing Tab make sure the 'Enable Internet COnnection Sharing' is ticked and you may also want to enable the enable on demand dialing tick box. In fact it could just be the on demand dialing box not being tocked that is the problem.

Scussy

In Win XP open the properties box for your internet connection and select the advanced tab. Make sure that the firewall option is checked and then check the "Allow other users to connect through...." box. Select your LAN card as the Home networking connection and you will probrably want to check the other boxes.

This should set the IP address on your LAN card to 192.168.0.1 you can check this with ipconfig. It will also set your computer as a DHCP server which will give IP addresses to the other machines on your network.

On your WIN2K machine, open the network card properties and then open TCP/IP properties. Check "Obtain IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically". In Internet Explorer goto Tools/Internet options and select the Connections tab. Check "Never Dial a connection" then Click the LAN settings button and make sure that this is set to Auto.

just about to clean install windows 2000, see you in a couple of hours...

win 2000 pro installed,now the problem,cannot get on the internet,
my pc is ok,boys pc has the new install,i have gone through make connection etc,but still does not work,would it be a faulty card,
shall i go and buy a new router or hub,
if so can you please tell me the best one for sharing,
what about wire free,
looks like i need a new graphics card too,the voodoo 3 only supports win 95 and 98,
sorry about all this,i just new it would get messy.

many thanks

steve
