Skype Questions

Have just been talking to my daughter and grandchildren using a video call. A cyberlink thing kept popping up in the middle of the screen and I had to keep closing it and clicking on to full screen at regular intervals. She wasn't experiencing the same thing. Don't know why this kept happening.

Also I took some pictures quite a while ago when this happened on a previous occasion but I have no idea where they would be or if they happened at all.

Hans are you the Skype expert? I think I need a lesson.

See you all on Saturday

Photos Picasa and Emails HELP!!

Gosh here I am again. I hope a fellow Con Hill Computer person may be able to help.


In Picasa I have discovered that I must tick the keep original size box when exporting photos to a folder on my desk top or a 1.8mg photo can suddenly become a 131Kb size.
This is no good to include in a Christmas calendar my daughter in law is making as the quality is not as good.


Also found that when using them from the desk top to an attachment in Yahoo or Big Pond the size is again reduced. (down to 4972 bytes in one case). G Mail seemed to keep the original size but it was then reduced for the receiver of the emailed attachment.


What is the best way to send the photos to a person living interstate without losing the photo quality? Do I need to use Australia post for a disc or USB?


I definitely have a lot to learn!!!
