I finally decided to install a back up drive from before my problems with
updating started and all is fine once again. The System is running much
faster right away. I also disabled windows update and will do it manually
from now on. Thanks again for getting involved in my troubles. All in all
it seems much faster to use the old way back machine then get stuck in the
present for so long. I think after I try to correct one more strange
occurrence on another System and I will give up trying to improve things for
awhile.

Thanks again Mr.Bear.

well except for
the previously messed up identities which I would like to use again.
I added
new accounts thinking everything had to be fine now but those same

though they are setup to subscribe to different newsreaders and email
providers than they had been before still show the posts to be in
the same corrupt state as before. This does not occur with Agent
Newsreader software
set up the same so it must be an Outlook Express issue.

Of coarse this is just one more issue that I feel has arisen from the
infection of the I.E. 7 malware update. My system has been puking on
a regular basis ever since that thing happened. I haven't found
anyone with this problem in any search of Google. Am I looking at a
complete fresh install of IE?

Thanks for any tips.
