Hello again, In my usual effort to clean house, I installed what looks like a full program (like it does it all) for cleaning system files and the registry. I know there are other programs which I'm probably also using. This one is also a freebie and it can be downloaded from ... http://www.nkprods.com/ncleaner/ All right, now I am also using Outlook Express for my email and after using this nCleaner, I find I can still receive email but sending sends email, even email sent to myself, into my "Outbox" where it remains, never reaching the intended recipient. I easily can fix that by using "System Restore" to restore the system to the moment before using nCleaner. Question: Is there a way to determine exactly what file(s) was/were effected and/or what configuration was changed so that I can continue using nCleaner and continue sending email, meaning it sends rather than sits in the Outbox? --- Harold ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
