After it finished, I tried to post to rec.boats via OE and I got an error window saying something is all screwed up. Tried again, same thing. Tried using Thunderbird and it works fine. Seriously thinking of going back to the old telephone ..... Eisboch |

Check the account tab under tools, or pickup on the newserver under accounts - it sounds like the two don't match. Seriously thinking of going back to the old telephone ..... I'll tell you, there are days when that becomes a distinct possibility. Later, Tom |

Eisboch Did you just download them, or did you "install" them, too, via MS's auot install facility? If the latter, you usually have to reboot... Good point. Later, Tom |

Nothing special - custom made spaciality rods- everything from 5 foot fly rods to 12 foot trolling rods and lots of repair rods in between. I do about 30 or so new rods per year - replacement rods, special rods, my own rods which I have a tendency to give away to kids and what not. Later, Tom |

Later, Tom Ready to smoke something ... I don't know what happened, but really don't give a s... either. OE just won't work. No big loss. What is strange is that I got a notice of some updates .... which, as a good Windows soldier, I downloaded and installed. Next, Windows suggested that I should download Service Pack 2 for XP Pro... which I already did last spring. I said "ok" anyway, figuring it can't hurt, but...... nooooooooooooooo....... My faithful computer is now infected with a Windows update. I'll figure it out sometime when I give a ****. Eisboch |
