Is it telling you why the file cannot be sent? If it is too large, then another compression method may not work either. Here is how I compress a file or set of files. 1) Select the file or files. 2) Open the context menu and go to Send To. 3) Choose Compressed/zip folder and press ENTER. 4) If prompted, give a name that you want to use and press ENTER. This "should" create a zipped folder that people can easily open. How the size will compare to the method you're using now is anybody's guess. Good luck!

What i'm doing isn't working: 1. Highlight the audiobook file (.mp3 format), hit applications, arrow down to compress and email, hit enter, type in email address, tab to message body, hit alt S to send in MS Outlook. I get a message back saying the file cannot be sent. Is there another way to compress a .rar or .zip file and then email it?
