Thanks for the reply about putting a 32Bit folder in my new 4bit Windows7.

But I'm a bit confused, what is this software that you suggest I download - Import Mail.zip

>Now copy and paste the entire 32 bit Windows Mail Vista folder into the 32 bit Program Files of Windows 7.
>You may be able to get the 32 bit Windows Mail Vista folder by clicking here.


Is there a 32bit section of 7 that I should use?


Sorry, I'm not an expert on these things



Thanks

In 7 you have two program files in explorer. x86 means 32 bit. Hope this helps.

The software which is available by clicking here, is a Winzip file containing the full 32 bit Vista version of the Windows Mail folder. By clicking the word "here", which is highlighted in light blue, it will take you to a free download site.

Once you get there, click the "free download" option, which is on the left side of the web page, about half way down the page. Wait 60 seconds for it to load, then click it again to download the file to your computer. Don't run the file, but save it to your desktop.

Once it's downloaded, open the Winzip file named "Import Mail.zip" and extract the folder it contains named "Windows Mail" to your desktop. This folder is the full 32 bit Windows Mail folder from Vista.

This folder should be now be put into the 32 bit program files of your Windows 7 operating system. This is the folder named "x86 Program Files" as pointed out to you by myzr7 in his reply two up from this reply and shown in his picture. To view the picture in a bigger size, just click on it with your mouse.

However, to make it work, you will first need to delete the entire original Windows Mail folder from your 64 bit Program Files. That's the "Program Files" also pointed out to you by myzr7. The Techspot guide found by clicking here will tell you how to delete this.

Good luck. PB

Could you please tell me how to put an embedd jpeg image into the middle of the text of a post so that it can be opened in a sub-window, as you did in your response to t8769?

I know how to make a link to a picture saved to an upload site like TinyPic. And I know how to add a picture as an attachment. But how do you make them open?

This is an attachment of your original picture which I saved to my desktop.

This is an embedded copy of your pic from TinyPic upload site.

I'd be very grateful for any help you can give in knowing how to make them open as it did in your post?

poppa bear, this is what I use. Snipping tool snap shot of anything on your screen. then save it to my docs, then attach it using paper clip icon.
A Preferred Method of Uploading/Posting Screen Shots

Thanks for the info. I had to test it out, I'm used to the old way of right click send to image shack and retrieve the link for posting. Does this method auto resize it to fit within the post?

The size of a snipping tool screen shot has never been to big for me to post, using the paper clip method. Hope that helps.
