Just tried sending an e-mail with a picture attachment for the first time.
After an age the message gets sent and at the top of the screen it says that "attachment has failed, file size too large 2250 bytes"!?
I just clicked on the thumbnail of the picture i wanted to send after selecting "browse"
what are bytes!?
how can i send the picture, i really would prefer to send them at more than one at a time if possible
d. (compewter genius)

D,
the attachment is probably to big! do you know how big the picture is? i think the 2250 may be KiloBytes or it might relate to the text message size or something else. [sneaky edit to correct error]

Right click on the pictures you want to send and look at the Size, which ISP are you using?

Even on a Broadband connection it will take some time to send large files, that probably why nothing seemed to happen for a while and then you got the message.

Computer lesson number one :-

1 byte is small
1000 is still small
1000000 is getting bigger
1000000000 is pretty huge .

so the message is the more the bigger !

Spaceman,

But bigger isnt always better. It's what they can do with it that counts!

Anyone know how to fix this error

I am going to buy a new computer.
which Pc Makers are the best?

My PC is giving me an error message when I switch on. It's titled Checkpoint Scheduler and says that the Task Scheduler is not running.

I only had one program in it ( A Fix-It Recovery exe) which I've taken out but the problem still persists.

I assume I have to uninstall the checkpoint scheduler and re-install it. Anyone know the program? Is it a Microsoft program and can I get a new copy from them if it is? Thanks in advance.

Anyone downloaded XP SP2 Yet? Im in the process of doing so. 1 hr 15 on DSL!

Help

I AM TRYING TO ADD A ADSL MODEM TO MY LAPTOP RUNING WINDOWS XP HOME
DO I EVEN NEED ONE CAN ANY-ONE HELP ME

Breydon

If your laptop is your only computer then you could get away with a USB modem but if you have or may have in the future another computer that you also want to connect to then get an ADSL router.

Let us know in more detail what kit you have and what you want to do.

Here if you want to go on line without annoying freinds and relatives popping up:-)

Iain, that link is for gibson research and Steve Gibson has produced some very fine utilities over the years however the shoot the messenger thing stops the windows messenger service not the MSN messenger. You may well know that but the use of the word messenger is a bit confusing.
