This automatic resize allows a minimum of 640 x 480 pixels. In your case
this may still be too large and you will have to try 320 x 240 or 160 x 120
using another option given below. Obviously, the resolution of these smaller
files will not be great.
It may also be that your Internet provider does not allow attaching photo
files.

To decrease the size of the file for e-mail, web publishing etc.



Go to this site and download the free Image Resizer. Exe file in one of your
folder.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Once in your folder, double click on it to install it.

Once installed, you right click on a photo file (or on a group of selected
photo files).

Click on Resize image on the opening menu.

A window will open, select the size you want.

In your case, don't select a size. Click on the Advanced button. Then for
screen size, change the numbers you see to 320 and 240 (or if this is still
too big, try 160 x 120)

New files will be added in your folder, same name as original file but with
the word (small) or (custom) added. You can now try to e-mail these files.



The first time you use it, you may not see Resize image on the opening menu
after you right click on a photo file or if you see it and click on it, it
may not work. If so, do the following:

Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox:

REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL

and press the Enter key.

Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI.

You should get a message after pressing the Enter key.



Also, you can download a free photo editing software from here to resize
pictures and edit photos:

Usually due to the restriction of your Internet Provider.
Check with them if you can send e-mail with attached files. Some free
Internet Provider will not let you attach any file of any size.
