I am hving a problem opening attachments( pictures), I get a message from Picture Manager saying "Path not valid".

you did not mention your picture file types. mostly default software in windows only supported opening jpeg formats. other file types like those captured by high end camera can be open with photoshop or similar software. to check this right click on the picture and on the popup option go to open with> your system might suggest application that can open your picture usually windows photo viewer or MS office picture manager

make sure that you are sending it to a valid number, and make sure that your plan of your phone allows you to send/ recive pics. hope this helps

Is there any attachment in your e-mail message. Maybe the picture is attached. Open the attachment.
If there is attachment, but you can not open it, check security part of your e-mail client and look for possibility of opening the attachment, maybe it is marked as not allowed. Mark it as allowed and try to open attachment again.

Most email programs have an 'insert' function. Click on it, then find the photo you want and click on it then OK. The image is then an attachment to the email.

Most people store their pictures in the My picture folder which is located in My Documents. You must also consider the size of the file before you send it. A large picture can take along time to download and the person you are sending it to may not happy about that. For example pictures taken from a 7 mega pixel digital camera can be huge and must be resized. Sometimes your email program will ask you if you would like to make your picture smaller to send.

Look for an option when you open photo manager that says upload picture. Browse the locations then choose my computer, pictuers and click open the picture that you want in photo manager. Other wise, try to put/copy the picture in a new folder in you computer, then click cut and paste to photo manager.
