So.... I tried the old way..... and I got it.... red x box.... no picture.... will try the imagine program and see if it's got "email" this is getting really, really, really OLD! Thanks, for trying to help me.... PAX NancyT Doris, I tried sending it the old way.... that I did before, when I had Win98se.... that you described in an earlier email.... it DID work.... at least, it didn't give me the "red-x-box".... It was HUGE, though, so I "skinnied" it down, with those re-size boxes..... I sent it to myself.... so we'll see how it comes thru.... I will see if mine will let me do "email"..... Wish me luck.... I'm a- gonna need it!! Thanks!!

I can choose the picture I want, click on "Email" and take it from there.
