Email Problem For A Techie To Resolve

[Marty Weiner]

I get the Hotmail prompt with my name and password already filled in so it's not a login problem, as far as I can tell.

And I assume you click ok or submit to send your name and password... right? hehe.. basic, but ya never know.

You assumed right /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

hmm then it should send.. This is a difficult one for me to diagnose... could you reproduce the problem and take a screen shot and a screen shot of your settings in IE then send to me in email? ezridaeus(at)hotmail(dot)com

I don't have software that takes a screen shot, sorry.

I'm going to continue experimenting with my Outlook/IE settings to see if I can resolve it.

I'll let you know.

If you press <PrtScrn> on your keyboard, it captures the screen. Open Wordpad, then paste the image into the document and save. You should then be able to email it; it'll be big in size, but you don't need any special software to do it. Good luck.

Thanks for the insight. I've never done that before and will try it tomorrow when my eyes are fully open /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

I just logged on to Hotmail and reduced the screen.

Then I went into CPF and tried to send Email. Once again, I hear the funny beep and there was a message in the address line that I had not seen before:

"This site might require the following Activex control: Hotmail Attachment Control Version 1.5.0.5"

Where can I find this so I can download it? This is probably the crux of my problem !

**EDIT** I was able to download the required file by clicking on the address line. It only took seconds but now my Email problems within CPF appear to be fixed. Can anyone explain this in layman terms?

It's used to upload files from your computer to send an attachment with hotmail
