Troubleshooting

For Windows users, if you get a message that you cannot email the image, check that:

You have an email account set up on your computer: To select a default email application on Windows 7 or 8:
- Go to the Internet Properties control panel (Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Internet Options).
- Click the Programs tab.
- Pick the default email application from the E-mail drop-down list.
You have selected a default email application and your email program is open. Some email programs (for example, Microsoft Outlook) must be open before using this feature.
You have selected a default email application and you can launch your default email program from outside of SketchBook Pro. Try the following:
- From the Windows Start menu, choose Run.
- Type the “mailto:” command.
- Click OK.

If a new empty message window does not appear, then there is a problem with the configuration of your email application and/or account.

For Mac users, if you get a message that you cannot email the image, check that:

You have an email account set up on your computer.
You have selected a default email application.
You can launch your default email program from outside SketchBook Pro.

If your email program creates the email message, but cannot send the message, ensure that your email service provider is operational. Refer to the documentation of your email program for further information.
