Default Un-installing OE6

Kate, Steve, Jim and Bruce
I think it has been fixed now. I have un-installed Spamfighter &
re-installed Defender. Have also left off all of the unnecessary programs on
msconfig startup.
It has been a long two weeks and I do so appreciate the help that all of you
gave me. Couldn't have done it without you.
Now, if any of you know a good, free spam fighting program that I can have
for my email (Charter Cable), I'm open to suggestions. Charter doesn't do a
thing to help their customers out, believe me.
Again, thanks a bunch

Morning Steve,
I uninstalled Defender and did everything else that you stated.
Rebooted and
it worked. I went back into msconf and enabled most of the stuff on
my
startup, rebooted, tried to forward and it wouldn't work.
Obviously, there
is something in my start up that is causing this. So, I went back
into
msconfig and enabled Zone Alarm and AVG, rebooted again and tried
forwarding
something on OE6. It worked the first time but would not the second
time. I
have tried it a few times since and it is not working again. I am
really
afraid not to have my AVG or Zone alarm going. Not being able to
have OE6 is
bad enough, but for the rest of the system to go down because of a
virus or
malware is downright scary.

I found your OP in another identity.

In your OP, you said if you inserted a graphic in a new message
and sent
it
to yourself, it came through OK. And if you forwarded that
e-mail, it
also
worked OK. It still sounds like a problem with the senders, or a
program
your e-mail server uses, which you have not mentioned, is
causing this.

What was not answered in your OP was:

1: Did you get rid of Windows Defender?

2: You were also advised to try a new identity. Did you?

3: An R&R of IE/OE was suggested, but you said you didn't want
to do it.
Why?

does it do
this
on the 'forward', but if I am to reply with senders message &
graphics/pictures to what has been sent to me, it is the same

I get the message ' When you send this message, these pictures

nothing worked. I even installed IE7Beta 3, which I like.
I'll try

IE6 is a part of your OS and OE6 is a part of IE6. You cannot
get rid
of
them. You can get rid of IE7, which is still in the testing
mode, and
use
IE6. I would do that first. Remember, IE7 has no affiliation
with OE6,
so
even if you could remove IE6 and OE6, you would not have any

Default Un-installing OE6

Some of the biggest problems users have are 3rd party programs that screw
things up.

Thinks like

antivirus software
Windows Defender
antispam software
Windows OneCare
IE7 beta
Windows

Glad you have it figured out. I don't think there is a decent antispam
program that works with OE. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
