Q. How do I send a photo from my computer to a friends email?

A. There are several ways that you can send photos to friends but as a basic trick, try the following:

Go to "My Computer", then find the file where the photo you want is located. Once located click on it to select it. (If you want several photos then hold the shift button as you select them).

Now right click and select "Send to" and then "Mail Recipient".

A little pop up box should appear asking if you want to make your pictures smaller. I usually select "Make all my pictures smaller" as this makes them quicker to open for the recipient.

Now an email box should open up with your photos attached (usually at the bottom). Fill in the email box like you would when sending a normal email and click "Send".

Wait for excited email from friend saying how great your photos were!!!!

Q. I used to be able to see what was in my messages at the bottom of my screen but suddenly it has disappeared. I have tried several things but can't get it to come back. Help.

A. So I am hearing that you were able to preview your messages at the bottom of your screen but now you can't? If this is the case try this. Click on the "view" tab at the top of your screen, then click "Preview Pane" and it should reappear at the bottom of your page. Let us know if you need further help.
