Hi.. I am sorry I did not include the fact that I did contact my ISP and they can find no problem. Cox Cable was as helpful as I think they can be. Since I share the same line..and cannot download my mail but my other half can..it is hard to think it is their problem. I can connect to the net..(I am writing this on the net) so the cable has to be ok. (But we changed that too..just in case) Also, I forgot to mention, I cannot uninstall OE and Reinstall it. When I try to do that, it asks for the Windows XP Pro disk. I have Windows MCE (Media Center Edition) which is built on Windows XP Pro, but... I do not have the CD as I just have the restore disk. If all else fails, before I just bite the bullet and restore the ststem, I think I will try inserting the Windows XP MCE 2005 disk. I have not done the upgrade to that yet, but, MAYBE the file OE is looking for is there. I am also still looking for an Email program (I am willing to buy it) that will allow me the benefits of OE (HTML mail and attachments, etc) and maybe better bells & whistles too! Thanks for any imput.
