A computer question

[Ksec]

When I click on tools and then click on "new message" I get nothing.

I used to get an email window so I can send a link or whatever. I click read mail and my Outlook Express email opens up just fine.

The send a link and the send page no longer work either. Where do I go to fix this?

1. Do you mean (in outlook express) Tools/mail and news/new message?

..Never mind...you mean in I.E.

4. Try

Tools - Internet Options - Programs(Tab) and make sure Outlook is selected for your E-mail service.

5. Here's what I'd do

I would download Firefox and Thunderbird as my mail server. I actually did that. I could never figure out how to get Outlook to work, but I think that Thunderbird is based on it. I was able to avoid Outlook because I had AOHell.

One thing I notice about my microsoft system is that shit stops working bit by bit. WAV files quit playing, shit does not always go on standby, screen does not go dark...It sounds like you have the same shit happening, little corruptions happening in important files.

Try Annoyances.org http://www.annoyances.org/ you may find someone with the same problem if you are married to IE and Outlook. I am assuming your computer is not under warranty anymore so there is no one you can call.

6. This happened after I

had downloaded Firefox and then came back to IE because of a problem I had with FF, which froze up.

Anyway when I came back to IE I noticed it didnt work any longer.

8. Sorry about that

Did you download Firefox a while ago? Are you running XP? Have you tried system restore?
go to All programs>accessories>system tools>system restore.

pick a time prior to the downloading of Firefox. That should make your computer like you didn't have Firefox. It won't delete files, but it should take programs off that you installed after the restore point, so if you've done updates and stuff, you'll have to reinstall them. If you don't like the System restore, you can undo it.
