Scanning photo to email

[Cheesefreek]

I have just bought a Lexmark X1100 printer/scanner.  I have tried scanning a photo to my own Hotmail account to test it out.  I followed the instructions really carefully but it won't complete the task.  The word Forbidden appears. 

 

Would this be cos |'m Hotmail?  I have received photos before from other people.  Any idea what the problem could be.  I'm not a computer buff but the instructions seemed pretty clear to me.

 

Thanks in advance

Scan photo. Save it as JPG. Check the file size, make it smaller if needed. Create new email. Click attach. Add your photo. Enter address, subject, message. Send.

Thanks scatman - I'm going to try that.  I'll let you know if it works.

Sorry Scatman - I sound really thick.  What's JPG?
