Thanks Ken. That's the first time, obviously, that I've had that happen to me and it was disconcerting to say the least.

I don't use this machine for e-mail or anything except general browsing, so I can understand that the e-mail is not properly set up. And there wasn't much of a clue (that I could see) that it had anything at all to do with e-mail.


Cheers,

Jim N

>>Holy s***, Garrett, what was that 'link' you put ther????? - I clicked it and suddenly a msgbox about converting my Outlook fiels to version 5 with NO option to say no or get out, so had to say yes, then up came Outlook and then it said that I was already on so should it disconnect and re-connect (to my old provider)!!!
