windows live mail and photos

windows Live mail.  I haven't been able to receive or send photos for months.  No one seems to be able to fix it.  If I try to send a photo from another email acct it gets delivered as a dangerous file that can't be openen.  If I try to send a photo it ends up in my outboxand jams up all emails after that, even the ones without photos.  I feel like throwing my PC in the trash!
