It's not a button - there's a link hidden in the text - I wish I could remeber what it says but I can't go back to that now that I have unlimited uploads. Look closely at all the text and look for any links, Right now mine just says "Having trouble uploading? Try the standard upload page." so that must be the page you're on. I must have the "Advanced" option or something like that. Look very closely, it's there!

I've looked everywhere, hovered over all the text - closed/opened the window. It's just not there.

I wish I could remember what it said. I just found it yesterday too. If you want, pm me your login, and I can check out your hotmail account and set it up for you.

Twenty-five gigs, I had to check that out. Look at the picture and see where it say "Install the upload tool for faster, easier uploads"? It's written on a yellow bar, and this usually means it has something to do with Active X, if you are running a different browser than IE, maybe you need to give it permission to use active X. Perhaps, if yours isn't displayed there you might do a search for "upload tool."

YES!! That's it!! I thought it said "Download" something, but it was "Install" -- I thought I was going nuts!

I just tried it and the drag and drop method didn't work very fast for me. I was hoping you could drop a whole file in, not just a picture, but I was able to go back and use the browse feature, after installing this, and I could download all the pictures in one folder. Downside is it will not upload files with the same name, and many of my files have the same name like Dram1 or Dram2. I think photobucket will allow you to download pictures with the same name.

This is SO bizarre. Nancy, thank you so much for that screen shot! What's weird is that I don't even have that yellow bar going across (or the 'Install')...I have everything else, but not that! What le heck?

I've always used photobucket. It's great. You can upload pictures by bulk and it's easy to use. You can sort into different folders too. I've had my account for about 6 years now and I'm always taking pictures!

It may be that if you first don't use it, that option goes a way, and you need to find it again. That's the way it was on Photobucket, I did the standard one at a time uploading for a while, and when it first offered the bulk uploader, I didn't use it. Later, this didn't automatically come up, and when I decided I wanted to use it, I had to find it, but it wasn't that hard. My other thought is that it may something to do with your browser, and since it wants you to install a program to make uploading easier, your browser settings aren't allowing that option. Maybe the safety is set too high. I've been playing around with it, and you can link photos, just like you do at photobucket, and it will accept animated gifs, a biggie for some of us.

OMG, I am going to punch myself in the face, I am so irritated right now.

I've looked all over this dang thing, even tried to do a search for "install tool", checked my security setting - said 15 hail marys....NOTHING.

I'm on firefox, I wonder if I should try to open in IE.

The hail marys didn't work? I don't know if this is a new feature, but their seach tool stinks. Since I already installed the dang thing, I can't go back and see how to find that option again.

HALLE - FLIPPIN' - LUJAH!!!!!!!!

You MUST open it in IE in order to see that yellow bar - it is totally absent in Firefox. Thank you for mentioning IE! That was it!

Omg, sometimes little things just get me going when I can't solve them...wow...I thought I was going to blow there for awhile.

Surprise, surprise, isn't Firefox the competition?, I mean Hotmail is MSN. See the hail mary's did work, just give her time.
