e-mail

When I try to send a document by e-mail I was getting a message "fatal error". I found under file and properties a 'read only' listing and unclicked that and thought I had solved my problem, but I have not. I still can't send the document by e-mail without the "fatal error" coming up and I don't know what that means.
Please sign me computer illeterate, but willing to learn.

    How are you attaching the file to the email?, also what email client are you using?

    I use the screen to send e-mails and pull down attachement and put in the document name. I am on hotmail.com and when I hit send I get the message listed above and can't send the document.

    I have also tried using my Lexmark printer to send it and still get the 'fatal error' message. So I must be doing something wrong or need to delete something but don't know how. I did cancel McAfee recently and some of the problems I WAS having cleared up. I did go into My Documents and File, and deleted "read only" but each time I pull that document up it is still there so it isn't deleted at all. I don't know where else to go to cull it from my computer.

    Any help appreciated.

    So you are using Internet Explorer and going to the Hotmail service. I have no experience using web based email. You can try to set up the hotmail account on Outlook Express that is on your PC.
