I can not attach jpeg files to Email. I am running XP and use Yahoo mail

I can not attach a picture / JPEG file to an email. I use yahoo email and have XP on the computer. I did not have this problem till I downloaded Firefox. Also since downloading firefox I can not get Internet explorer to connect to the internet.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I loaded Firefox

one thing i discovered is that I can attach files to the mail if i reply to it. only when i create a new mail in one of those accounts can i not attach any files.

    I can not attach any files to email or Facebook. When I go to "browse" the window comes up and disappears immediately. I updated browser and Adobe Flash. Restarted computer and zapped pram. any ideas? Please help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

    Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
    When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
    checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
    From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
    is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
    I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
    I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
    I will appreciate your assistance.
    Avi T. 2014

    Hi,
    Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?
    I would like suggest you use Clean Boot to troubleshoot if there is third-party software conflict:

  • Can't open Jpeg files in email

    I just purchased a Samsung Continum.  I love it but I am unable to open jpeg files in my emails.  Am I missing something?

    Just keep in mind, downloading has limitations. The maximum file size for picture / videos/attachments can vary from device to device. The file size limitation is based on the megapixels of the camera on the device. The maximum file size that can be sent from an email to a device is 3 MB. When any message over 350 KB is sent to the device, the file is reduced in size to be under 350 KB prior to delivery. If a device sends a 500 KB file to a device with a lower file size limit the file will be reduced to a file size acceptable by the receiving device.. A message that exceeds the other carrier's limits will be rejected and not reach the intended recipient. 
    Listed below are steps to download attachments
    From a home screen, select Applications.
    Select Gmail.
    Select an email message.
    View the email message. If the email message has an attachment (e.g. jpg, gif, bmp, etc.) select one of the following attachment options:
     An installed application is required to download or preview some attachment types. 
    --Download
    Downloads the attachment to the SD card.
    --Preview
    Previews the attachment within the viewed email.

  • Can't attach JPEG file to a GMail message

    When I try and attach a JPEG file as an attachment to an email on GMail it gives up after a minute and I get the message "attachment failed". Excel and Word files are fine - they work OK. Also JPEG files are fine when I attach them to a an email in GMail when using IE - but not with Firefox 3.6.10. Help please!!

    The new document format doesn't always work well with Gmail and other services. How about emailing an iCloud link?
    You could also try "zipping" the document and then attaching that.

  • Can not save jpeg file

    I wish to capture jpeg images from my webcam and keep them in webserver so that live video can be downloaded.

    My program starts capture but after 2/3 or 5/6 frames it simply exts without giving any errors. I have tried to debug. But can not find which exception is causing the program to exit. Pl. help me diagnosing the problem :

    Files are saved as 1.jpg, 2.jpg and so on. My another html page downloads these pictures @ every 100 milliseconds using javascript so that no seperate program is needed to show the video.
    Pl. let me know how can I continue to save files .

    Thank you so much catfoss.
    I gave thread.sleep(60000) and was able to record more than 300 frames !. So, once again thanks a lot to pinpoint the error.
    Now I am modifying the program and instead of using Thread.sleep I am going to use keyboard input ( Program will wait till Q is pressed. )
    For thoe who are interested in viewing these pictures here is my javascript source, which show the live video :
    <html>
    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var no = 1;
    var filn = "";
    var myId;
    function stopIt()
    alert("stopping!");
    clearInterval(myId);
    alert("Interval Stopped!");
    function startIt()

  • Attach jpeg file to email

    How do I attach a photo (jpeg file) to an email as an attachment, so without embedding the photo within the email?
    Thanks for your help

    In Mail Preferences set the Composition format to be plain text.

  • Can not attach a file in mail.

    Hi,
    I want to attach a file from a map in mail via the paper-clip but I am unable to open a map which contains the file I like to attach. Mail wants to attach the complete map.. I have the latest version of OSX Yosemite. Is it a bug ?

    Yes I have tried that and that works.  But when I do it via the paperclip I only see "Kies bestand" ("Choose file") in the bottom right button, see screenshot. The only thing I can do is insert the whole map instead of opening it and choose a file within the map. It should have the text "open folder" or something like that.

  • If I delete an email on my new I phone, it also deletes the email on my computer.  I use Yahoo mail.

    On my old Blackberry Storm, when deleting an email, I got the choice, "delete on handheld only", and the email only deleted on my phone, not my computer also. However, with my new I phone 5, when I delete an email I only get the choice of "delete" or "cancel", and if I delete, it also deletes the email on my Yahoo server on my PC.
    My Yahoo settings seem to be limited, and is and has been set for "Access Yahoo mail via POP.. The only other option on Yahoo is "forward email" to another address.
    I was on the phone with Apple last night for 90 minutes trying various things, and nothing worked. If you know how to fix or reset this feature either on the I phone or on Yahoo, I am all ears!  Im really astounded that there isnt an easy Apple fix to this.....or maybe there is?
    Thank you.

    You probably have a POP3 email account. That's the way POP works. If you want to sync you must use an IMAP account and setup. Not all ISPs offer IMAP, so you may be stuck.
