Does it work if you open a new message window and then attach the file?

Is the file in the outbox?

Please answer all of the following diagnostic questions by number in your
next reply (no need to quote this post):

1. Is Automatic Updates enabled & is the computer fully-patched at Windows
Update?

2. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

3. Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer?

4. Did a Norton or McAfee free-trial come preinstalled on the computer when
you bought it? (Doesn't matter if you never used or Activated it.)

Send the file to yourself as a test case. Some files are not sent to protect
against computer viruses.

Those are not diagnostic questions. They are general information. Try doing
the same on your computer sending the file to yourself.

It's anybody's and everybody's business when it's being discussed in an
open, public forum. If you don't like it, take it to private email or
pound sand.

Hey Piggy,

Have you thought of taking Viagra pills? Researchers at Harvard
University have found that people who get erection tend to have better
functioning brain as well! Even at your age, it is possible to get
erection with modest use of Viagra.

Try in a new identity.

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test
it. If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the
old identity and delete it.

Note: Do not use the word Main in the name of the new identity.

You can dish it out, but you sure can't take it. No wonder you don't
seem to have much credibility here.

 

[Unknown]

He is severely lacking in credibility. He thinks EVERYTHING (all problems)
is somehow connected to
a virus program. Wonder how he got MVP moniker. Perhaps another fake.
His usual response, if you disagree with him, is "Bite Me". Oh
well---------------

Sorry for no answer before... week end!!!

1- yes & yes
2- Kaspersky for workstation MP4, nothing else, no defender and no other
anti-spy.
3-No
4-NO

As i tell you, my current system is Windows XP sp3, kaspersky MP4, office
2003, i have installed thunderbird.... now i will remove it and try again.

 

[alejo]

I did all those suggestions. When i ask to this group it's because i'm out
of ideas. I have surf in internet i found many possibles solutions but none
of this work.

...i have installed thunderbird.... now i will remove it and try again.

I suspect you allow Thunderbird (Tbird) to become the default Mail Client
(replacing OE) when you installed it and the New Message window opened via
Send To was actually a Tbird window, not an OE window. (Check Tbird's
Outbox or Sent Items folder to confirm.)

Re-assert OE as the defaul Mail Client & all should be well (whether you
uninstall Tbird or not):

1. See http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx; then see...

2a. http://www.oehelp.com/oelnk.aspx and/or...

2b. Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program
Access and Defaults | Custom (<=important!) | Choose a default email
program: Select "Outlook Express" here (not "Use my current...").
