    Confusing error message--How to respond?

    When trying to open images, I get the message: "The data area passed to a system call is too small." What does this mean and how should I respond?

    Tell us your OS, your irfanview version, and provide some images that give this error.

    Are these images on a network drive? If so, copy them to your local drive before trying to open them.

      Typical result attached. It may also appear if you try to open the image from this message. Did on my system.

        I don't have any images that give this message. Does it happen for you with all images?

        The problem seems to be with your email program. Save the files to disk before opening them in IrfanView.
