Hi Raymond,
Thanks for your reply...
1) No, I haven't made any changes to the computer
2) Yes, but it's the same one we've been using, Trend Micro, even disabled it
3) No to the XP restore
4) Yes to having to re-install OE.
My husband does all the computer stuff...and even he was baffled about this one.
Could Embarq be having problems? Now for the 2nd time in the last 3 weeks, my sent email is stuck in the Outbox (been over 4 hours and tried to resend but keep getting the pop server error message). Some are just 2 sentence replies, nothing bulky or complex...? But then my Hotmail account works just fine and it has to use Embarq as DSL.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say someone is messing with me...like my computer has a poltergeist or prankster hacker....?
Thanks, Feonova
