R. Profitt, I decided to track down your most recent post to thank you. I have had excruciating email issues with Outlook Express for a few days, to the point I was ready to reinstall XP -- not a happy proposition. All of the info on the internet wasn't working, and Microsofts Knowledge base is an abosolute nightnare. I was about to post my problem on CNET's communications and messaging board, and saw someone else had posted the same problem (something about an error code Ox800CCC0f) I was having.
Your answer identified the problem as being one with Norton Antivirus' incoming mail scanner, not Outlook.
I've been posting questions on this forum for at least three years now, and appreciate your diligence and answers.
Now the real problem is -- in trying to troubleshoot my outlook express problem, I've found out that Explorer is corrupt, I don't know how to locate my email files for backup, XP's system file checker doesn't work on my system, my scanner won't scan to PDF anymore, and my System Restore from two days ago WOULDN'T DISPLAY THE START BUTTON OR ANY DESKTOP SHORTCUTS and I had to go to task manager to execute any commands and see files.
It's neverending, isn't it? Makes one want to go back to using an abacus and parchment paper sometimes.
Thanks again. I'll post appropriate questions in the right forums if I can't figure out the answers on my own.
W!
