I suspect that it was a windows critical update that set it this way.

Hi Tristram Thanks for solving the strange happenings, this is working OK now. I now wonder how this was reset in the first place, A possible explanation comes from Barry who stated that he had a reset about a fortnight ago, also I heard of another person that had this happen at about the same time, , Around that time I had a critical update for Zone Alarm also a critical update for X.P. could this have reset this setting? Anyway it is back to original. now. Cheers Joyce and Roy roy.bannister@xxxxxxxxxxxx ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
