📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses an issue with Windows Live Photo Gallery where the 'Email Wizard' does not open when using Windows Live Mail as the default email client, unlike with Thunderbird which works fine. The original poster confirms that the problem occurs specifically when Live Mail is set as the default, preventing image size options before emailing. A contributor suggests ensuring that Windows Live Mail is properly set as the default email provider and provides troubleshooting steps, but the original poster indicates the issue persists when Live Mail is the default. Overall, the main concern is that the 'Email Wizard' functions correctly with Thunderbird but not with Live Mail when it is set as the default.

Have a problem with Live Photo Gallery in that the 'Email Wizard' will not open when I click on the 'Email' button when using Live Mail. Under normal circumstances (Edit. with Thunderbird as default reader) when you click on 'Email,' a small window opens and asks what size you want the images to be when attached,however with Live Mail as default this is not happening as it goes straight to a 'Write' page in the Email program and has the image/s already attached.

When this happens there is no option to reduce the images to a size suitable for Emailing.

Wonders of wonders..........works OK in Thunderbird but not in Live Mail, any suggestions anyone?

Cheers

Do you have Windows Live Mail set the default mail provider ?

When you’re inside Windows Live Photo Gallery (WLPG), the email tool is located at the top. You can select 1 or more pictures ( hold down Ctrl) and send them to Windows Live Mail by clicking email. If you do not have Windows Live Mail on your computer you will need to download this free program from Link Removed - Invalid URL before it will work. If you downloaded Windows Live Mail to your computer and the pictures you’re trying to email from WLPG do not open in the body of the email go to Windows Live Mail>Options>Make Default Mail Provider. Making Windows Live Mail the default mail provider insures that your email tool will work in WLPG.
