Carol -
I've not used the restore option yet in XP, so not sure quite how it works.
If I haven't set any restore points yet, can I still just type in a date say
some time last week, and the system will revert back to how it was then? Is
XP that clever that it keeps it's own log of it's settings day-by-day? I'd
be pleasantly surprised if it was like that, though I suspect that if I
haven't set a date previously for a restore to go back to, then I'm stuffed,
as they say in polite society <smile>

Andy,
If it's disappeared and you have XP, going back to date where you had it may
solve your problems.
I too am having some with Outlook Express so, if anyone knows where the full
version is for download then I'd be interested also in that information.
If you haven't used Restore Point before then I'm sure we can help you a
little with that, though I still don't quite understand how the screen looks
and have to fumble around a little to get to the right place. <SMILE>
Don't forget that a lot of folk are off to Sight Village right now so you
may not get replies.
