When I try to forward a video clip it will stop sending when about 50% sent.
It is like there is a limit on how many bytes that can be sent. I am useing
a dial up connection. My old computer useing the same connection and
provider has no problem sending out video.

The size may be an issue especially with dial-up, but you can try these to
things.

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Move the Time-out slider
all the way to the right, (5 minutes).

And:

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending, and causes a multitude
of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date
A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Check with your provider for any message size limits.

Due to encoding overhead of about 40%, a message is larger than the file
being sent. So a file of about 700 KB will result in a message of about
1 MB.

I cannot send video attachments either but mine don't just stop - they never
start. Indeed, OE locks up when I hit SEND and I have to manually close it.
The attachment I am trying is large - over 2 MB - but I get no error message
or anything.

There is a MS help doc but it requires you to modify some registry settings
including
"Search through each of the listed 000n values to find the DriverDesc key
that pertains to the Ethernet adapter," but it doesn't tell you how the hell
you know which key that is. How do you?

See if a new Outbox helps, and turn off e-mail scanning.

Do the following for the Outbox, and if the problem persists, repeat for
Sent Items after you move any messages you wish to save to a local folder
you create.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write
the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.

With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question {Outbox.dbx}
and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.
