Guest Fran27 Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 I have just got a digital camera and tried to send some photos by email. There seem to be various photo programs on my computer but Microsoft Photo Editor seems the most straightforward for me to use. However, though the email does get sent, I receive the same Error message each time I use it, which is very disconcerting. The message is: 'Microsoft Photo Editor has encountered a problem and needs to close'. I tried doing a search on the message by typing it into Google but, though several people seem to receive it too, I can't understand any of the suggested ways to cure the problem. Can anyone help me please? (In a very easy-to-understand way)

(In a > very easy-to-understand way) I just tried it and yes you do get an error: <quote> AppName: photoed.exe AppVer: 3.0.2.3 ModName: unknown ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 6038c3ae" </quote> My advice for the time being is not to use the MPE "Send" function. Send your photos from Windows Explorer (Right click > Send to) instead. If I recall correctly PhotoEd isn't even supported any more by MS so it's unlikely this problem will ever be fixed. By the way, I also just discovered that the photo MPE couldn't send is put in the Outlook Express outbox so the next time you "Send/receive" or "Sync all" from OE, the file will get sent. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com

Can anyone help me please? (In a > very easy-to-understand way) You've already gotten an answer from Opinicus. I'm posting to suggest a very easy-to-use free image management program from which you can also send your emails. That program is Picasa by Google.

Guest Fran27 Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Re: Microsoft Photo Editor Error message Dear Opinicus Thanks very much for your help. I really appreciate it. There seem to be so many ways to do things on the computer - and I seem to have very little flair for it. Still, I'll keep plodding on and will get there in the end!

Guest Fran27 Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Re: Microsoft Photo Editor Error message Dear Malke Thanks for your reply. I'm dashing off just now and haven't got the time to try it straightaway but this seems the option for me to use. I just want to know how to crop a photo (Microsoft Photo Editor made it seem simple) and how to reduce the size so that it doesn't clog anyone's Inbox up. I'm on dial-up and it takes forever to send (and receive), so I don't want to do that to other people! Would you happen to know what size I should reduce the photo to? I can't find a reference anywhere and the photos that people have sent me all seem to be very different. 70%? 50%? (Don't worry if you don't have the time to reply to that query) Very many thanks again Fran "Malke" wrote: > Fran27 wrote: > > I have just got a digital camera and tried to send some photos by email. > > There seem to be various photo programs on my computer but Microsoft Photo > > Editor seems the most straightforward for me to use.

Since you have dialup, even though your recipients might have broadband, give a thought to how long it is going to take you to send the data (picture). You might want to experiment by sending differently-sized images to yourself. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers http://www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User
Guest Fran27 Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Re: Microsoft Photo Editor Error message Dear Malke Thanks so much for replying. Yes, I have been trying to send photos to myself but to say it tried my patience would be really understating it! By the time my dial-up had 'sent' it and then – finally – 'received' it, I could have done a million useful things. Not to mention when I tried using Compressed '(zipped) folder – that sent the photo twice each time. God knows how long I've spent trying to figure it all out. It finally dawned on me I could ask the Newsgroup for help. I have downloaded Picasa and was immediately relieved to see that it mentioned the main things that had been bothering me, so I'm sure this is the way to go. It looks ideal. You're right, the people I know with computers have broadband and just hit the Send button. Thanks so much again. Don't bother to reply.
