Gary-

I appreciate your attemt to help me, but I'm not trying to attach a music
file. I'm actually trying to send the e-mail with the music playing in the
background, but it doesn't work whether the file is open or not. In fact, I
even tried sending the file as an attachment and setting it in the background
(thinking maybe the problem was that the program could no longer find the
file after the e-mail was sent) but that doesn't even work. Maybe you can
still help me now that you know what I'm trying to do.

Thank You!!!

Make sure that file isn't open in some other program.
Windows Mail can't attach documents or images that are
still open elsewhere.

I am actually trying to send a short music file (not a picture), but I'm
still coming up with this msg. Why does it give us the option of inserting
background sounds if it won't work? Why can't I send my song?

 

[Dallasgoldbug]

Have you tried to use Adobe Flash? import the song into flash then publish
the html. Then save the file to a server and reference that in the html that
you can place in the email.

Make sure the song in flash just starts without having to click a start
button

Might work but might trigger virus apps when you send and they might remove
it due to viruses can be sent this way.

Just a thought.

Very peculiar! Something in your Windows Mail is corrupted.

As I see it, you have two options:

Switch to Windows Live Mail:

If you would rather not do that, you can try a repair-install of Vista:

If MS made it easy to embed music into it's emails, wouldn't this quadrupel
the bandwidth taken up by it's OE and WM produced emails? (LOL). Turn your
music file into a WAV file and will accept it.

 

[Patsy]

Please write instructions on how to convert a music file into a "wav" file. I
want to send a song I already have in my music file to play in the background
of an email. I will surely appreciate it.

Please write instructions on how to convert a music file into a "wav"
file. I want to send a song I already have in my music file to play
in the background of an email. I will surely appreciate it.

If you really want to do that, do as Gary suggested and ask in a group
on audio media.
Let me add a warning, however: The feature if embedding in a sound as a
background is not of too much use.

1.) If the sound is played on opening depends an the mail client.
Must clients do not support this.
OE and WinMail have the feature and Outlook used to have it. But is was
turned off on OL 2007.
And hardly any web-interface supports playing music embedded in the
background by OE and WinMail.

So it's good for just nothing if the recipient will not be able to hear
the music.

2.) IE and WinMail only support Midi and WAV.
And WAV files are really big if sampled at the lowest sampling rate.
If converted to WAV a normal MP3 file holding 2.000 to 3.000kb will
weigh very heavy.
The file size will so big that - depending in the allowances of the mail
provider - the mail can not be sent. If it gets through wir will will
take forever.

The same on the side of the recipients.Even If his/her mailbox should be
big enough to take the huge mail, it may take forever until the mail is
loaded and the music begins to play.
And there's no use in sending things which make recipients angry.

What I did in the past was to send very short recordings (f.e.one verse
of a self-sung "Happy Birthday").
And sometimes I produced a short cut like a "trailer jingle) with a part
if the chorus.
But that need proper software instruments (the good old Audio Recorder
has been castrated in Vista) and it means work.
And as most folks will not even hear what I produced it' in vain in mist
cases (everyone in business using Outlook).

Hope this helps
Rainald

I have the same problem. Get the message just trying to reply. Very annoying.

[Bellbd]

I get the same message all the time when I'm forwarding email with embedded
pics and graphics - and no, there's nothing else opened but the email, I'm
forwarding. It will also do it when I'm relpying to an email. But the
emails go fine, and everyone tells me that all pics were there, and when I
copy myself, eveything looks the same in both emails. Sometimes there are no
pics, but then I will notice a little box, and it was a smiley that I hadn't
gotten in the first place. So I still panic when I get the message, since
I've gotten plenty of emails, that I'vd had to tell the person the pics
aren't showing. Anyway, with mine I get the message, but it does send all
pics.

Unfortunately, this started on my wife's computer after installing IE8. There
is some incompatibility between that application and previously installed
copies of Vista. This seems to be especially true when one allows Microsoft
to run roughshod over your system with their automatic updates. I have since
turned that off! Looks like it's off to repair install Vista.

Looks like Microsoft didn't do enough testing before their time was up to
publish the upgrade. It appears that files (I'll use a general term here)
cannot be attached to a reply. My wife was trying to reply to someone's
e-mail and include pictures. Out of frustration I decided to compose a NEW
e-mail to that person and attach the files. That seems to have worked.
It looks like the received e-mail under recent upgrades (?) to either IE or
Windows Mail is assigned a status that inhibits modification, even if one
attempts to reply or forward. (Unlike previous versions and other programs. I
can't really comment on other programs right now because I don't have a way
of testing them.)
Right now, until Microsoft fixes this problem, if you want to attach files,
create a new e-mail. This is an analysis based on a single experiment, but I
feel I have a fair insight into how programmers think, or occasionally don't,
based on many years (20+) of hardware/software and system testing.
This should suffice to muddy the waters.

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

The incompatibility between IE8 and Windows Mail attachments was fixed
by Windows update KB972260. You won't get it if you have updates disabled.

Well, I'm not trying to embed music or send a picture but simply forward a
message in text. Never had this problem until I updated to Windows Live
Mail. Knew I shouldn't!

Outlook Express always worked great for me. Then along came Vista followed
by Windows Mail. Like almost everyone else, I haven't been able to forward
photos. The only answers that I've seen are: you can't foward any attachment
that is curently open; and, something about having to do a Vista repair.

Regarding the 1st answer, I have not had any attachments open while trying
to forward a message. In fact, if you are "forwarding" a message that
contains photos, chances are that you didn't download those photos and leave
them open.

Regardiing "repairing", if you read the fine print you will find that 90%
percent of us don't have a the Vista OS OEM disk, and even if we did, we
wouldn't be able to use it if SP1 and SP2 and a lot of other updates had been
downloaded onto your computer.

The third answer was, there is a conflict with your AV program. Well, my
program is Microsoft Windows Live OneCare which should jive nicely with
Microsoft Vista, so hopefully, that is not the problem.

The problem is this cursed Vista. Windows should issue a sincere apology to
their millions of customers who are stuck with Vista, and by extension,
Windows Mail.

There is light on the horizon. I've read that Microsoft 7 will replace
vista. We should be getting it for free as payment for the hours we've spent
trying to fix the problems that came with Vista.

Finally, a few minutes ago I Googled the phrase, "Vista Sucks" Google came
up with over 22 million hits. Does this extremely high number of obviously
unhappy customers mean anything. Obviously it does, since Microsoft is
coming up with supposedly a much improved OS.

[Sam Hobbs]

If you have a question, then ask it and someone will try to help.

Your logic is probably flawed about "Vista Sucks". Are you sure all 22
million results have the exact phrase "Vista Sucks"? I think search engines
do what they think we want, not what we actually want.

I have the exact same problem. I'm sending stationery with pictures and
music that is compatible to Windows Mail in Vista. I get the same message -
everything will send except the music. I had no trouble with Outlook
Express. I, too, never got a DVD with my laptop to re-install anything.

I already have Windows Live Hotmail, and for the purpose of what I'm doing,
that won't work.
