How do I Change my default email to Gmail in program acess and def

[Tiffer76]

I used to have my gmail set as my email in access and default under email.
Somehow, my settings got changed, and now the only 2 options I Have is to use
hotmail or outlook express. I have NO idea how to get back to that. I have
tried everything even under internet options (programs) I just don't have an
option to select Gmail. I used it for the longest time, so it has to be
available. Please help!

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee
VirusScan and/or Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).

ok, so can it be fixed?? I guess, if all else fails, I will just stick with
my hotmail. I have other Huge problems with this computer right now to figure
out.

Yes, it can be fixed *if* you identify the real-time protection that's
disallowing the change.
