Somehow in the last week I have lost the ability to send pictures via Windows live email client. Prior to this week I would select a few pictures I wanted to email, then right click>email and I could choose the size of the pictures. The pics would then be added to my email as attachments and I would hit send.

However when I do the exact same process as I have been doing for the last 3 years soemthing has changed.  After I right click and select e-mail the mail client opens up and a small window appears prompting me to log into windows live and there some mention of skydrive and picture gallery. I don't have an account, I don't want to use skydrive or picture gallery. If I close that window without logging in and hit send in the email window the email fails to send and gets stuck in my outbox.  The mail client will tell me when I try shutting down the client that I have unsent mail and so I want to send it. When I say yes nothing happens.

I am looking to return my laptop to the original way it used to send pictures via the right click method as it allows me to resize pictures for those with small displays plus it is a very fast method of sending pics.

I am using Windows Live Mail 2011.

Thanks alot for the help!
