This morning I used Automatic Update to download Windows Installer 3.1,
selected reboot, but rebooting left me with a black screen. Switched power
off and on, selected Normal Windows boot from splash screen, and all was OK.
But when I tried to used IE6 to access my email (only a Hotmail account) I
got this error message:
Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. Account: 'Hotmail',
Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp', Protocol:
HTTPMail, Server Response: '', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 12029,
Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
Header download for the 'Inbox' folder did not complete. Account:
'Hotmail', Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp',
Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: '', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Socket
Error: 12029, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
IE does not work either! But I can access and search the internet OK using
Firefox! I use a Wireless connection (a PCMCIA card on my laptop) with no
ISP set up. When I select Send/Receive in IE, it just accesses my hotmail
account. I'm sending this by accessing the Web via the Hotmail page (Firefox
is not allowed to access this forum directly!).
I'm really stuck. Help very much appreciated.
