Error message when trying to send pictures

S

Sandy

In my pictures I am trying to send pictures via e-mail and click on Send this
file by e-mail. I get the error message of "Connection to microsoft exchange
is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action"
I am using Outlook express and have no idea why this message is coming up.
When I click on the OK a box comes up titled Microsoft Exchange and asks for
my Microsoft Exchange Server and my mailbox. I have no idea what to put in
and have tried several things and then check the "check name" box but I then
get the error message "The name cannot be resolved. Connection to microsoft
exchange is unavailabe. Outlook must be online or connected to complete
this action"
Is there someone that can help?
Thank you,
Sandy

Is MS Outlook or MS Office installed?

Microsoft Outlook updates change the default mail handler to Microsoft
