Please somebody, help!

I seem to have lost the ability to make pictures smaller for e-mailing,
since doing a restore (I'm using Windows XP). It used to do it
automatically, I've tried just about everything including the Help and
Support Centre advice.

And how did you make them smaller before?

Any photo editing program will do the trick.

Image resizer might work.

A much better, and more powerful solution.

You can left click on any blank place on your desktop, and then press F1 for
help. There is a search prompt at the upper left. There is also a lot of
information that can be searched on the MS site, or doing a simple Google
search.


Below is from Windows Help. Search text used, " photo ".

___________________________________________

To send a photo in e-mail

1.. Open My Pictures, and then open the folder containing the photo you
want to send in e-mail.
2.. Click the photo you want to send.
3.. Under File and Folder Tasks, click E-mail this file.
4.. In the Send Pictures via E-mail dialog box, click Make all my pictures
smaller.
Windows makes a smaller photo file and attaches it to an e-mail message
that displays a default subject and text message.

5.. In the To box, type the e-mail address of the person to receive the
picture, change the subject and message text if you want, and then click
Send.
Notes

a.. To open My Pictures, double-click the My Documents icon on your
desktop, and then double-click the My Pictures folder.
b.. Use this procedure for photos of file size greater than 64 kilobytes
(KB). To check the file size of your photo, right-click the file, click
Properties, and look at Size.
c.. To send the photo without reducing the size of the file, click Keep
the original sizes.
d.. To change the settings for the size of the image, click Show more
options.
e.. If you have many pictures to share with others, you can publish them
to the Web instead of sending them in e-mail. For more information, click

Thank you all for taking the trouble of helping me to sort out the problem
of 'Making my Pictures Smaller', In the end however, I managed to resolve it
by carrying out another System Restore
Many thanks again.
