Hi Warren

 

What "detect and repair" are you talking about here?

 

Windows Vista is not detecting any problem automatically and reporting it.
Also I have run Office Diagnostics to no avail - tells me everything is
perfect.

Have you tried a detect and repair? That works in many cases where a dll or
equivalent has decided to go out to lunch, which may be the problem here...

 

My bet will be windows Update has "fixed" some problems for you. I have had
a few glitches recently with Patch Tuesday updates (I turned mine off to
determine what goes on and stays off for the time being) and had to restore
back and unload some updates about three weeks ago. That set of updates
trashed one of my laptops.

 

I note also that IE 8 is being foisted on everyone. I haven't and won't go
there until I have to, but what has been the experience for everyone else?

 

Regards,

Warren

Guys

 

Has anyone else had this problem.  I open Outlook, it trots off and gets my
mail (either auto or manually), it downloads them all, but seems to hang on
the last email - which is actually delivered.  

 

Then it goes on strike.  It is hung and well retrieve no more emails.  So I
close it, but it is not gone - when I look in Task Manager it is still
there.  So I kill it in Task Manager, re-open and start again - same process
- ad infinitum.  This means I have to kill it in Task Manager every time I
want to retrieve my email.

 

I had this problem 18 months ago when I first got my Windows Vista/2007
system, then at some stage it went away and now it is back.  

 

Any ideas?  I did have it set to minimise when I close it rather than go
away completely, but have since turned that "feature" off.

 

Regards

Christine
