problem?
Thanks

Hi Jim

I am interested in knowing why scripting is bad. If it is, I need to
ensure that it is disabled on my computer.

Please stop using that scripting example to post. You can take the
text from any article and paste it into Notepad, then from there into
your message. Scripting is disabled on many computers these days and
all your reply does is throw up "scripting errors." HTML is really not
needed for posting that information. Thanks.

I have no idea what service you are talking about. What do you do to
generate the error?

Assuming that you mean Hotmail and that you entered the information
correctly, OE now only works for paid Hotmail and MSN accounts except for a
shrinking number of old free accounts.

Try this

START | Run
type in Regedit

and press ENTER

Press the + sign next to HKEY_CURRENT_USER to expand it.
Click on Identities subkey

rename it to Identities.org

Now try to start OE. It should start up as though it hadn't run before.
You can set it back up then import the old messages into it then.



I am talking about OE. There is nothing I do to generate that error. I get

What Frank said. Its probably your hotmail account. If you delete it then
the error message should go away.
