Is your monitor DVI, by chance? I've seen a number of times when this happens using DVI displays (and who isn't DVI at this point...). Since DVI is just a digital bus, the system/display driver has to "detect" the digital device in order to use it. If this detection isn't working properly, the issu

Your math is a bit off. A 5.1MB binary file will be more like 7MB by the time it is encoded for mail transmission. 7MB=7000KB= 56000Kb. Divide that by 191 and you get 293 seconds, or about 4.9 minutes. Also, many ISPs have a limit on outgoing message size, usually somewhere in the range of 2-20MB.
