Hello PA Bear,
I my original Post I forgot to mention that everything
works fine when I log on to a text only Newsgroups, like this one.
We had our computer in the shop for Windows Updates Installation,
because I was not able to install the latest Updates, the tech
told us he removed Windows & Internet temporary files, and was able
to install Updates, I don't think he turned the Anti-Virus program off.
The system should be fairly clean, I do empty the deleted Items
often, I rarely reach a dozen and they are gone.
I have printed "Inside Outlook Express" Instructions, It is easier
for me to follow them step by step, as for compacting OE folders,
every now and then I get a little pop up window, asking if
I want OE to compact Folders "Yes" or "No" I usually answer Yes.
I have disabled Inbound & outbound E-mail & News scanning.
I use Panda Platinum 2005 Internet Security, I have noticed that
if I disable E-mail scanning It will disable also News scanning.
I am going to work on it in the next couple of days and see if I can
get those binaries downloaded.
Thank You very much for Your Help, x@y
