This is an interesting problem, and we need more information to make a decision. First of all, is the attachment icon grayed out? Or can you explain what the problem is with attaching a photo?

If it is as I have identified, the icon is grayed out. Then you should reinstall your software to repair it.

I can't open the pictures on my google plus photos

Ok. Go to your google plus autobackup photos. Find a photo that you would like to save or send in an email put on facebook, etc. Once you do, click "More" which has a down arrow next to it. Then navigate to "Download Photo" > "Original" This will download and save the photo on your computer. Then you will need to get to your downloads folder where you will find the picture saved. Now you can select it to attach to emails post on facebook etc. Hope that helps.

I can't insert photos below my message without attaching them.

If you simply looking to insert a photo into your email, the simplest way I have found is to copy the image (right click, copy image) and then paste it into your message. Hope this helps!

i guess you forgot to say,
Hello, I have email problems.
then tell us what email service you use, and now?
using email client, of some kind
or web mail of some kind.

seems your provider does not like your attachments.
Gmail. are you using GMAIL web mail on line.
it has limits (all do) on sizes
and types of attachments allowed

if your running XP the system can be infected, and may add ******* attachments with out your knowledge
no OS stated. by you, on this G62223
it came new with Windows 7

actions to take
send mail with no attachments
then look in the sent box, and see that it is devoid of attachments.
then send a small attachment.
say a 500kb picture or smaller
does that work ?
if no try a small text file. that must work.
or call Google (GMAIL) and ask them ?
its their mail server. so... their call. on rules.
do not send EXE files or any other coded files, scripts. etc.
only send photos small and text.
and you can luck out.
