Hi Dennis --
Well, computers are supposed to be a time-saving tool, but in reality they can be a real pain at times...;)
So grumble away, I think everyone will understand!:)
Oh, and speaking of computer pains, I have been battling software and hardware problems, security and invasion of spyware that is truely annoying, and performance problems, and have been rattling my brains trying to learn more about stuff I never cared to learn, such as the windows registry, etc, so I'm doing more than grumble these days!
It's a pain!
But after learning it the one nice thing is that I'll never have to read it again, and can share my tips with others having similar problems, but then something new will come out and the cycle will start all over again!...
Anyway, I finally turned it all off last night and got a good night's sleep, and a good day, so perhaps tonight I'm ready to look at it again.
Good luck with your mail problem.
Take care.

Hello Laura,

But I use exactly the same settings and the same ISP under windows XP, so
the bug seems to be somewhere in my first (main) system, but where? It
remains a big question :(((

Well, gonna reload, type that password to get connected again, send th mail
and go back. You know something, during the whole 9 years of my relationship
with computers I never ever had a single moment when everything was going
swimmingly. Anyway, mustn't grumble.

Best regards,

Denis

It might not be OE, but rather the connection you have to the internet.
Gosh -- I have been fighting a major security and spyware problem on my
machine all week that really scared -- someone had put the Microsoft
console
manager (which controls everything on the system) on the accepted programs
on my firewall, with scope set to the whole internet! so anyone who knew
about it could just connect to my computer and munge with everything...
So I immediately removed it and did some major scans and registry
cleaning, 
and such, and also deleted a bunch of weird cookies and logs generated by
spyware that my spyware blaster found...
But who knows what else was messed with???
Anyway, if you know anything about security, you should really have a
firewall set up to be sure nothing malicious is on your machine.
And also, the problem may be with your service provider, as malware
attacks 
servers on a regular basis.

I really didn't want to spend all this time learning about the guts of
Windows and beating my head against the wall, as I have other things to
do -- but sometimes it's necessary.
Sigh!
My brain is smoking from all the grinding!!!
Anyway, hope you get it resolved -- but I think the place to ask is your
service provider.
Take care!

Hello again folks,

With the kind of stuff I'm asking, one might think I've got a virus, but I
ran three (!) top antivirus programmes, and although I killed a couple of
Trojans, the problems are still there.

Anyway, about a month ago my Outlook Express stopped sending emails giving
me error number 0x800CCC19. I tried deleting Pop3uidl.dbx, unintalled OE
and 
even manually cleaned the registry out of OE entries, but when I
re-installed it, thing were the same. So, for instance, to send this
message, I'm going to have to log off win98, log on to winxp, send the
mail
and go back to my favourite win98, which, as you can understand, is far
from
being comfortable. Most funny thing about it is that sometimes, when it
feels like it, it sends a message or two, going back to its silly ways the
very next minute.

Any comments please?

Very best regards,

Denis
