Good Morning Jonathon,
Hope you don't mind I started this new thread. I wanted
you to get this ASAP. However, please read my last reply
at the old posting (RE: 9:45 a.m.) for an update. You
will know what I mean when I tell you now that I went
ahead and sent that Data Base Shortcut "Thumbs.db" to the
Recycle Bin before the reinstall.
Well, ALL WENT WELL with the reinstall of MSN8. Maybe a
little TOO well..lol I rebooted after the install, opened
my mail upon receiving the popup, activated my Outlook
Express, switched members to my 'other name" at Switch
Members and received that email alert and was able to view
the email with no problem. I see NO problem at this time.
When I say "a little TOO well" that's only being cautious
because when I did the MSN8 reinstall last Saturday, all
was ok until yesterday Monday when I again received
the ".MAILHOST" error message but, of course, that was
before we removed the corrupted files which have now been
replaced.
(I have on CNN on the tube and they are talking about the
LOVSAN and W.32.Blaster Worm. Scary stuff. I use
HiJackThis, SpyBot Search and Destroy (is not an AV I
know), Norton AV, TrendMicro House Call, SpyBlaster, and I
checked yesterday at MS / Windows Support and have all the
updates and patches as far as I can tell plus I get Auto-
Updates so, hopefully I'm ok)
Anyway, I will go ahead now and update to MSN v8.5 (my
Disk is v8.0) This is the one that takes about an hour due
to my Dialup and 56k modem.
Well, except for any unforeseen circumstances that could
occur (good ol' Murphy's Law) we are just about at the end
of our session. I want to thank you again for your
patience and excellent guidance throughout this fix.
Please let me know that you have read this and if you have
any additional "words of wisdom". I will follow up later
with one more reply to this Post as a final update.
