I'd like to start by saying that this is the first time i've ever come to this newsgroup, or any group for that matter, to seek any help. So if i'm asking a question that has already been answered then please forgive me.
My problem is my e-mail notification and the icon itself i guess. Usually you're supposed to get an alert window pop up letting you know you have mail, provided you're online at the time. Your e-mail icon on your homepage is also supposed to display the number of new messages you have as well. I don't know what happened, but for the past month both of those features has gone ka-put on my system. The number of new messages will only be displayed when i restart my computer and after i've checked my messages the number still stays on the icon as if i haven't even checked my messages. Before i had any problems, as i would check any new mail or conversely delete them, the number on my e-mail icon would decrease respectively. I am using a Dell Inspiron 2600 series laptop and i'm using Windows XP. I don't know if that bit of information will help, but there it is
On a side note, if anyone knows anything about the "Say My Name" feature please let me know how i can install it on my laptop again. I used to have it when i first bought my laptop (almost two years ago now) then all of a sudden it just stopped saying my name whenever i turned my laptop on or off.
I thank you guys in advance for your patience with this "Newbie" and your time and help. Thank you!
