Error :- Outlook 2013 max file limit: "The file you’re attaching is bigger than the server allows."

What I have tried:

Close Outlook and open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)
Depending on the Outlook version, go to:
Outlook 2013 — HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences
Outlook 2010 — HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences
Outlook 2007 — HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\PreferencesHKLM Outlook Preferences branch
In this branch find and edit MaximumAttachmentSize value, specifying the new attachment limit, e.g., 102400 (100 MB). By default, it is 20 MB (20480 KB). To completely disable the limit, change this value to 0.MaximumAttachmentSize - Outlook 2013
Note. If there is no MaximumAttachmentSize key in this section, create it manually: New -> DWORD (32-bit)Value

Close the Registry Editor and restart Microsoft Outlook

I have tried but still can't resolve the problem,please Help.

... bigger than the SERVER allows ..." It's got nothing to do with Outlook. The limit is set by your ISP.

As Peter_in_2780 says, this limit is set by your ISP, not Outlook, so you can't do it. Maybe try a different ISP if you can. Or, if you MUST use email, you'll need to split the file up somehow. Or else use a web-service such as WeTransfer (Google it.)

What part of "bigger than the server allows" do you not understand?

This has nothing to do with your Outlook settings. This has to do with the limitations imposed by the server your Outlook is connecting to. Unless you control that server you have no control over changing this limitation.

Rhe problem is not on your side, it is on mail server side.
Your ISP mail server deny huge mail, it enforce a size limit !

The only thing you can do is subscribe to a service that allow those huge mails.
Second solution, split your mail in smaller packets.

As mentioned in comments this is a limit set on the server. You'll have to contact whoever manages your server.
