Hello,

  I've been having this problem with scanning and attaching scans to emails. I used to be able to scan using a shortcut from my Start menu or desktop, and it would give me the option of scanning a document and attaching it to an email, without saving it as a file (which is ideal for me as I don't need to keep them for later use).

  After scanning it would give me the option to scan another page, or not. Then a new email would open automatically with the scanned image already attached.

  Recently however, it has gotten only as far as asking whether or not I want to scan another page, after which it comes up with an error message, saying the email application could not be reached, so a new message couldn't be created or sent.

  My scanner works fine (it is a HP LaserJet M1522nf), as it is able to scan and save images without problems. However, I would prefer not having to manually attach and then delete scanned images everytime I need to email them.

Can anyone help? I tried to get help through Microsoft Support Techs but they said to come here, and that it was a problem specific to the email application.

Thanks
