    Default Windows Live Hotmail won't let me use attachments

    Recently my MSM Hotmail has been upgraded to Windows Live Hotmail.
    Ever since then any attempts by me to add an attachment to my e-mails has failed.
    Help me someone!

    Wink Re: Windows Live Hotmail won't let me use attachments

    Thank you for your response.
    When creating an e-mail and then trying to add an attachment, 1st I clicked "Attach" (obviously), and then I clicked "photo" (which is what I wanted to attach) which led me to a page offering nothing but a revolving circle of green dots in the top left corner which stopped when a notice came up saying "did you notice the information bar?" which doesn't actually appear. Pressing ok doesn't lead to anything. If it is relevant I have cleared cookies for www.live.com as requested by WLH.
    Maybe I am misunderstanding what "photo" means, as I have now found that I can manage to attach a photo by following the Attach- "File" instead of Attach- "Photo". Which means that I think that I have solved my problem and I hope my e-mail recipients have received their attachments.
    But seeing you have been so good as to read this far, are you able to tell me what the Attach- "Photo" option is for? Seeing as I can't get it to do anything for me.
    I only have dial-up connection of 32 kb per second (because I'm daft enough to live in a tipi up in the Welsh hills) if that is relevant at all.
    I am impressed by your free web-site and by the time you read this I will have donated $10 towards your good cause helping poor souls like me. Thanks

    Firstly thank you very much for you donation, it all helps pay the bills required to keep this site up and running, so thanks again.

    Back to your question, I think attach "photo" means your are trying to actually display the picture from within the email then send it, rather then attach the file
