Insert picture problem

David Isaacs · Joined: 12 Aug 2007 Posts: 3

What used to be easy now locks up OE.
Cant "insert" a picture into an e-mail. The picture opens but the browse box
becomes frozen. The only way out is Ctrl...Alt...Delete.
Is there a fix for this using OE 6.
With thanks,
Dave Isaacs.

Is Picasa installed? How about IE7?

Is this a sudden, new problem, David? If so, did the problem start after
installing IE7?

If you uninstall Picasa (or select a different picture viewer as your
default), does the behavior persist?

Do you see the same behavior when inserting the picture via Insert >
Picture... and via the Insert Picture button in the HTML toolbar?

It has been a problem for some time now, however I can not be sure that it
coincided with IE7. I think not.

Picassa is not my default picture viewer. Pant Shop Pro has been for years.

Yes I have tried both, and get the same bad result.

With thanks,
Dave.

Are you using a graphic file that is saved in a folder on your hard drive?
Or are you attempting to copy/paste a graphic image into a mail message?

Have you tried creating a new identity, switch to the new identity, create a
mail account in it and test it for satisfactory operation? Your existing
identity may have some registry corruption.
