many thanks normally it does but for some reason this didn't I only needed the spare voice in case,but messing about with video interceptors is not wise but I am getting near to having a stab at it if Noman cannot come back thanks for help David----- Original Message ----- From: David To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 9:16 PM Subject: Re: size of an attachment Hello there; well, if your using XP, and your using OE, once the attachment has downloaded into your inbox, jaws should read the name of the attachment, and the size. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dorothy Ingram-Gorban To: org, jfw@freelists. Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 4:01 PM Subject: size of an attachment Dear list I have been sent an attachment, it is in a zip file and I think they are self extracting, my computer both avg. and windows on my XP laptop gave dire warnings first avg. then windows,I sent to another party and the thing came back with a lot of blurb, I tried sending attachment and it crept out in tiny percentages, this laptop goes via the wireless connection, I suspect it was large and some computers are set not to get large attachments,I normally can check the size of any item sent but I seem not to be able to do this on this attachment where can I find out the size then? I thought it should be properties it was a spare voice in case I need in an emergency if I have to remove Jaws to do something technical like update video interceptors or drivers and as no sighted person is around I may have a go myself On the other hand Interceptors are tricky thanks Dorothy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
