Windows vista mail

[Guest]

Someone please HELP!
Every now and then when I try to send an email from windows mail all I get
are black or transparent boxes??? I have done some research and get tons of
different answers..it's McAfee it's Vista it's a setting....I hope someone
knows what is really going on because it is getting very aggrivating. Also if
I restart my computer the mail will return to normal but
I don't want to have to restart my computer everytime i wanna send mail!
HELP!!

MJ--

Often Antivirus Programs or 3rd party firewalls--and you don't need two
types of software firewalls-- can interfere with send and receive in OE or
Win Mail. If you have any of them that aren't One Care (because I know it
know longer does this) check into the scan email settings of the 3rd party
AV or firewall program and turn them off.

Additionally I'd try SFC.

***SFC as a Remedy***:

SFC or System File Checker is a bit like the spare tire in your car or a
backup battery I suppose. In Vista of course, they have changed it somewhat
and come up with a new name--Redmond stands for name it something different
twice a year and now it's part of WRP or Windows Resource Protection. It
scans protected resources including thousands of files, libraries, critical
folders, and essential registry keys, and it replaces those that are
corrupted with intact ones. It fixes a lot of problems in Windows XP, OE,
Windows Vista, Win Mail, IE6, and on Vista or if it is installed on XP, IE7.
It protects these things from changes by any source including
administrators, by keeping a spare of most of them.


How to Run SFC:

Type "cmd" into the Search box above the Start Button>and when cmd comes up
at the top of the Start menu>right click cmd and click "run as Admin" and
when the cmd prompt comes up at the cmd prompt type "sfc /scannow" no quotes
and let it run. This may fix things quite a bit. It replaces corrupt files
with intact ones, if you're not familiar with it.

Good luck,

CH

No I have not tried uninstalling McAfee. I'm not totally computer savy so I
am a little relunctant running it without the antivirus?
