Nobody answered me!

[Roger William Brown]

I can't pick up the thread (or whatever the jargon is) because it won't send
a reply. So, I'm sending a new message. I CAN'T SEND!

I don't know about Yahoo. Windows Live OneCare is taking forever to
download here in El Salvador. I don't see how I can send sometimes and not
others. I'm very frustrated as I'm about to make a four day trip to
Guatemala and rely on e-mail for my contacts with my people here as well as
my family in the US.

Today, it not only won't send but I can't even get the green "thermometer"
to start!

Thanks for your follow-up report.
Sounds like a OneCare hiccup.

I don't know. But you might call Microsofts toll-free technical support
number at their site. I've had to do that and they can help with EVERYTHING
regarding their software!! Or you might consider repairing, uninstalling and
reinstalling the program.

Didn't you say earlier you used Trend Micro antivirus?
This latest error message looks like it is caused by interference
from an antivirus. Uninstall your antivirus, then try sending mail again.

Note that in a pinch you can always send via webmail (using your browser).

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the regular
resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

My Norton works fine with my Windows Mail, although it is Vista. Try using
Windows Defender if it's available for your platform. This is a very capable
and often surprisingly good program that's done well for me and seems to
work really well with a lot of other programs. All the best.
