Sending smaller photos via e-mail

Guest

I have a new computer now, and when I am in My Pictures and highlight the
pictures that I want to send and click on "e-mail this file" in the File and
Folder Tasks pane, the "Send Pictures via e-mail" dialog box does not appear
asking me if I want to make my pictures smaller for sending. I have looked
in the Help and Support Center and it just tells me that it should be
appearing. I want to make my pictures smaller for e-mail purposes, so that
they appear smaller on the screen. My old computer had this option and I was
running XP, but this new one won't...any suggestions???

The Help and Support Center states this...

"To send a photo in e-mail
Open My Pictures, and then open the folder containing the photo you want to
send in e-mail.
Click the photo you want to send.
Under File and Folder Tasks, click E-mail this file.
In the Send Pictures via E-mail dialog box, click Make all my pictures
smaller.
Windows makes a smaller photo file and attaches it to an e-mail message that
displays a default subject and text message.

In the To box, type the e-mail address of the person to receive the picture,
change the subject and message text if you want, and then click Send.
Notes

To open My Pictures, click Start, and then click My Pictures.
Use this procedure for photos of file size greater than 64 kilobytes (KB).
To check the file size of your photo, right-click the file, click Properties,
and look at Size.
To send the photo without reducing the size of the file, click Keep the
original sizes.
To change the settings for the size of the image, click Show more options.
If you have many pictures to share with others, you can publish them to the
Web instead of sending them in e-mail. For more information, click Related

==================
Try this, maybe it will restore the option:

go to...Start / Run and type:

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.

A dialog box should report the following:

"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW.DLL succeeded"
