I don't know if this is relevant but I recently did a system file check
upon
booting and then a system defrag. If there were any system files missing
wouldn't this be picked up and corrected at that time?

I reinstalled Windows Xp SP2 several months ago after a Spy sherriff
infection. I went to an online help site which guided me in removing most
of
the problems but certain applications stopped functioning correctly after
that especially the IE mini browsers. Most common applications such as
Word,
Paint, Notepad, etc use this mini browser in their help menus.

After reinstalling windows and the updates the help menus are work
correctly
again however the posting problem has still not been resolved and I am
starting to get annoyed because most of my free time is being spent trying
to
solve problems instead of enjoying the internet!

I am not having any problems with emails and this is what is perplexing
me.
Since message posts get blocked why don't the emails do also unless they
are
being sent with a different method?! I willing to bet money some crucial
system file is missing or corrupted but if this is the case how can it be
replaced/re-registered? What is the name of this file?

I remember re-registering Windows picture and fax viewer last year after
it
too would not respond after clicking on images. I was told to register a
file by using the run command.

I hope am not boring anyone with this but I think the more information one
has the better the chances for a correct diagnosis and timely resolution!
