maybe as I was happy for a change something did work on my system

Donot forget I never actually tried sending something as big as this before
and as I have memory problems which I mentioned before due to running
the Bat I was actually amazed it didnt freeze on me.. Maybe it would
further down transmitting but I wasnt going to wait 3 hours online to
test that... see below for the other part as essentially I wondered
if they crashed before or after this stage.

No problem, if that 33 mb had ended up in your box (MS puzzlepack for
my kids which I was moving to their box (g)) ...

And sofar I have had no problems with displaying pictures...
I havent even seen the msg coming back with the jpg as I was going to
see what size was as normally I make them fairly small.
One thing though it showed a 30 mb file or so being emailed... and
from previous msgs in the thread it wasnt really clear at what stage
they got crashed off. So I had hoped to see a response like I didnt or
did get that far.. You may not need it and so may others but quite a
few people not in software support will find a picture easier to
recognise then a long description.
In the past when I was supporting a large group of systems I always
had fatal errors copied directed to my system so I had the original,
not modified/interpreted form instead of being 'told' what happened
which was very rarely complete...
Best regards,
tracer
