Just a few weeks ago I did a system file checker before defragmenting my hard
disk...isn't this the same as doing a file checker from the run command? As
far as disabling the option to download xxx headers
at a time I have already tried this but this apparently has no bearing with
relation to my posting problem.

Yes I did a repair install of Windows...not a format C:\ and then proceeded
to re-update windows xp from Windows Update. This was several months ago but
I don't recall the exact date! The reason I proceeded to such drastic
measures was because of a Spy Sherriff infection(and possibly various other
infections) which after removing the spyware damaged my IE mini browser. If
your mini browser is damaged then you cannot view any application help files!


I also reinstalled NAV 2005 around christmas time after getting script
errors when opening NAV 2005 options/internet worm protection rules and a
corrupt Liveupdate module. After a complete reinstall, liveupdate works
correctly but I still get script errors and cannot add new rules.

re-enable the Windows Firewall immediately!

Here are all of your successful posts/threads:

I see that you never replied (or, possibly, weren't able to reply) to Steve
Cochran's post of 19 May in OE General newsgroup:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...92e8c8f6c80364

QP
Go to Tools | Options | Read and uncheck the option to download xxx headers
at a time and that will then give you all the messages.

For the file problems go to Start | Run and type

SFC /scannow

and that will run system file checker.
/QP

= Have you done this?

= With a newsgroup open in OE = View Current view: Is "Show all
messages" checked?

In the thread to which Steve was replying, you made reference to a spyware
problem that led you to "re-install" Windows.

= Did you do a Repair Install or did you format & reinstall? Is the
machine fully patched at Windows Update?

= Is the machine in question used by guests of your hotel?

Hi. I have already answered these questions in my early posts(about a week
ago) but I don't mind repeating them. I connect to the internet with a
Forthnet (ISP) 128 Kb ISDN (2 B-channel) dial up connection. Shortly I
plan
on upgrading to ADSL 2Mb but due to technological/infrastructural
restrictions I was forced to this pathetic situation...not to mention the
burden on my pocket is tremendous when compared to ADSL!

The answer to the second question is that I am not behind any
firewall(other
than the pathetic NAV 2005). I have disabled Windows firewall because two
firewalls normally cause conflicts. Also, I do not use any proxy server(I
have verified this in internet options /advanced settings). I connect from
home!

How do you connect (e.g., dial-up; ADSL; cable; satellite; wireless
provider)? Are you behind a proxy?

Who is your ISP?

Are you trying to access the newsgroups at work? [I'm sure Michael will
have more questions.]
