Are you on dialup or DSL?
Have you checked the MTU settings in the Registry?

No. I could not send attachments before I had SP2 as well. I did have an
anti virus on my system but it was wiped off when my hardrive was
reformatted. SP2 was installed after XP.
Thanks

Have you ever been able to send attachments since the reinstall of XP

Did you install a antivirus or spam software since the XP reinstall?
Did XP have SP 2 included are was SP 2 installed after XP?

I have no A/V program at this moment at all. The message it get first
is
'Your smtp server has not responded in 60 seconds, would you like to
wait
another 60 seconds? I keep hitting wait and the same message comes up
continually. THen if you hit cancel the following message comes up

A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Subject '',
Account: 'caratop', Server: 'mail.tpg.com.au', Protocol: SMTP, Port:
25,
Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19

I am going through an ISP called TPG. I have contacted them twice and
they
have walked me through configuring my connection properley.

Hope this helps
Thanks!!!!

I'm sorry. I meant to ask who you use for an e-mail server / ISP, not
client. And are you able to post the error message completely? You
should
be
able to left click on the text of the message to highlight it | Right
click
| Copy, and paste into this thread.

Do you have *any* A/V program? Any Anti-Spam program? Is e-mail
scanning
on
or off? Is the attachment a graphic, and if so, what happens if you
do:
Create Mail | Insert | Picture, and browse to the location and insert
it,
rather than attach it.

Please answer the above as best you can. I know you are frustrated,
but
without actually being at the machine, details are extremely
important. I
do
hope I can help.

at this point i don't have norton or mcafee installed. email client
is
OE6.
The email will simply stall at around 60% complete and I will get an
error
message regarding my smtp server has not responded. But like i have
said,
i
have checked with my ISP and my setup is correct

use
for
an e-mail client. Do you have McAfee or Norton installed, and if
so,
what
versions.

I hope there is someone here who can help me as I think I have
exhausted
all
other options and avenues! I am unable to send any emails that
have
attachments of any type through OE6 with SP2. I have tried -
-changing registry values
- reinstalling XP
- different email clients (thunderbird, still did not work)
- checked ISP settings which are all correct
- disabling firewall and antivirus
- extending the timeout time on outlook to longer than 1 minute
- have checked the box to 'allow pictures'
- contacted Microsoft helpdesk which told me to create a new
identity
for
email which did a big fat nothing.

I have read other posts in here regarding this and have tried the
advice
which they have been given (including XP smoker which again did
not
help).
My hard drive has also recently been reformated so I am pretty
much
starting
with a new machine.
Please help!
