I am using Windows 7 Professional and am unable to email images to send in Outlook 2007. When I select a photo (or photos) in Windows Live Photo Gallery and click E-Mail Outlook freezes and in the process of unfreezing (Control + ALT+ DELETE) I receive the following message:

"The operation failed because of network or other communications problems. Verify the connection and try again".

When this happens I am connected to the internet. Does anybody else have the same problem? Does anybody know how to fix it?
