WHY DO I EXPERIENCE THIS

Recently had some photo's sent to me as a download in an e-mail. Some I was able to download successfully, but a couple I couldn't. When I questioned this, I was told that it might be because the photo was taken with a phone camera. |

Kay, I understand what you are saying. But, when I tried that, I let the process run it's course, and after 10 mins, it still hadn't completed the job, if I make sense. |

Kay, when I get as far as pressing the save button, a little document wallet appears in the box on the screen, with sheets of paper popping over to the other side. This just carries on, and hadn't stopped after 10.mins. |

Do you get an instruction to download rather than 'view' Julia. If so press download then if a dialogue box comes up with 'browse' look for whatever you usually put your photos in. Strangely I sometimes have a problem with photos my sister sends and sometimes not, I think it depends how she sends them. I get invalid picture. However this time I browsed and clicked on windows viewer I think, sister said open with picture viewer so you could try that. |

Ann, thans for answering. I get an oblong box appear on the screen. It has three options on it. 'OPEN', 'SAVE' 'CANCEL' . I press SAVE, and a document wallet appears in the box, showing papers transfering across the box. Usually when this process is complete, a little pinging noise is made, to tell you that the process has been completed. When I tried to do this, after 10 mins., the process was still on going. |

Morning Jiminy, just seen your post on my this thread. Yes, they have not been sent on a jpeg image, whatever that means. |

How many photos were sent? Perhaps there were too many, or their total size (MBs) was too great? My b-i-l sometimes sends things with lots of pictures and I can never view them all. As they are not family pics I dont bother about it though. |

To explain what I said about total size, some servers wont send more than a certain number of MBs as attachments in one email, I think. |

Julia, try pressing open instead of save. You should then get the option of what programme to open it with. Try 'pictures' or microsoft view or picture viewer. |
