Thanks Steve, but it did not work. I did as you said and placed everything in
a New Folder within Documents,then closed Windows mail. when I opened Windows
mail againm, there was still all messages as before with the six I have been
trying to send out still sitting there in the Outbox. When I went to the New
Folder to see what exactly was now in there. And lo and behold, a message
said that Windows could not open the items in this folder. This totally sucks
and I do not want to create a new email account somewhere else that I will
have to get online and go to that site to use email, but what else can I do.
The minute people start complaining about such things Microsoft should be on
it pronto. One other thing is, I can hook up my Camcorder to my iMac G4 and
away we go, we can import the video right off to iMovie and go from there,
but with this new laptop and Vista, I am asked for software and drivers for
the Camcorder. Those commercials on TV are so Truthful it isn't funny! This
laptop will be on Ebay shortly!
