When you do it this way, you are linking the image that is on your personal computer. It is not available for the rest of us on the internet, thus you get the "X" icon. Anything having a C:\\ in it (or other letter) indicates the local hard drive.
Do you have a web site? If so, you should upload the image there, then link to it (don't worry if you don't know what I mean, read further).

I also used the attach file option but my file is to big. When I try to resize it using my software it just keeps cutting off parts of the picture.

What image software are you using? You should look for the option of saving the (uncropped, that is not cut) image as a jpg (or jpeg, which is the same) file, and then play with the compression settings that are given as an option in the "save as" dialog - usually somewhere in between the lowest and highest compression works the best, as it reduces the file size, and the quality is still resonably good.
If you can't find it in your imaging program, read this article, and try it:

I don't explain there about image file size reducing, but when you go there, there will be an "optimize" option. Try playing with those, setting a different quality setting (again, somewhere about 50-75 usually would work best depending on your begining image). This software works for .gif and .jpg iamges only, so if yours is, let's say, a .bmp or .tiff, you will have to open it in some software on your computer and save as .jpg (best for photos for web use).
LMK if this is too confusing, or if you need more help.
