Mary Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I received my new registration key that didn't come with my initial registration. I downloaded, and my program registered. I finished up my slide presentation, and saved it, pushed create, and it saved my exe. file. When I went to email the slide show to somebody, my uploading file, box froze at about 53%. My screen froze up and I had to escape the program. I then got an error message stating a "serious" problem has occured, and restart computer in safe mode. I just restarted it normally, and it worked fine. I then tried again, and the same thing happened at 48%. I am getting frustrated fast here, not only having to wait out the whole weekend to make the show, but now my system is crashing? And I can't send it? I am a professional photographer, with lots of hard drive space and memory. What on earth is happening here???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveG Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Look at the file size you are trying to e-mail and report back.DG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxig Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Zip the exe and send zip file only.Recommended: Split the file using the free Gsplit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Actually I got the problem figured out. The file size was 7.1mb. I contacted AOL and asked what their max attachement size was, and it was something like 16 mb. He told me since i had latest version of windows xp to disable the firewall that comes with it, send it, and then enable the firewall again. Worked like a charm..... has anybody ever heard of this?
