i suddenly cannot upload photos from Picasa to emails in hotmail. Message says Active X wont allow it! I am not PC literate but have looked at Support & FAQs etc but make no sense. Can anyone help?

The simple suggestion i have is don't use Picasa. Just find the original photo file; whether its in 'my pictures' or wherever you saved them. Then upload straight from that destination folder.

I'm not a wizard on the PC, but i upload photos all the time with Hotmail and never have problems doing it this way.

Hope this helps.

Thanks dave and i will try that although all pics seem to load via picasa

..but you probably will have to reduce the size for hotmail,think the new hotmail has that feature. From Picasso I usually put them on the desktop and a reducing file sizer gets to work, I put them into hotmail from there.

True....another trick i use to reduce the size, is to right-click on the file, 'open with' 'paint' then once open with paint - 'save as' *jpg then hit ok and the file will be saved as a jpeg file usually no bigger than 1mb.

It's a pretty course way of doing it and i'm sure there are better ways, but i NEVER have any issues or problems doing it like that.
