Vista 64 "Send To" won't open outlook


Recommended Posts

Posted

so i noticed a weird problem on a clean vista 64 sp1 install (using vLite). I was in picasa, selected some photos and then hit "email" but outlook 2007 never popped up. i thought it was just a weird picasa problem so i kinda ignored it.

then i just tried right clicking on a small file, choosing send to, mail recipient and the same thing happened with outlook 2007 not opening. it should have opened a new message with the attachment.

I used vlite to tweak and edit down some services and now i think i inadvertently got rid of a service that is required by the send to or something. I really was very conservative with what i tweaked out so i have no idea what it could be.

anybody have any ideas??

REALLY DO NOT WANT TO REINSTALL VISTA.......

thanks!

I don't think this is because of vlite for sure. go to C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

and just add it manually

also, to clarify, the "Send To" option is there but just when i select it, nothing happens. no error, nothing.

did you try with a different item like skype or mail recipient...?

ha...um ok, no idea what happened but it's working now.

i checked my default programs just to make sure again that everything was set to outlook 2007 and it was so I DIDN'T TOUCH A THING. clicked ok. and now everything is working as it should.

ok.

well...ha, alls well that ends well!

thanks for the help. =)
