Outlook Express & Outlook Problems

[Picchioni]

For some reason all of my mail accounts will not download in Outlook.  So I figured maybe outlook was screwed up so I loaded up outlook express and same damn thing.  & I know it's not my email address' because I can access them all on webmail and they are all on different mail servers.  I'm not in offline mode either I thought of that.  I run in the DMZ so my router isn't the problem.  I'm running out of ideas.  

Can anyone else add any ideas for me to try

Thx in advanced

Have you tried scanning for spyware?  I have seen spyware do all kinds of wierd stuff including causing problems when trying to download email via POP3.  Also have you tried using Thunderbird?

Found the problem, it was norton internet security.  I had a 6 month trial that came with my motherboard, well I never used it except for Norton Anti-Virus.  When the subscription ended, it disabled all internet connections on my PC except for outbound Port 80.

I go to uninstall, and it says that my account is not a "supervisor" account.  Even though I am the only one that use my PC so obviously my acct is an Administrator Account it still didn't work.  So I login to Safe mode under the standard default Administrator login, won't uninstall because i'm running in safe mode.  So I login to admin, in a regular boot still says i'm not a supervisor.  So I had to find a troubleshoot on Symantec's site telling me how to remove it without using the uninstaller.  I had to edit the registry and delete a ton of system files and a bunch of other crap.

What a pain

LOL!  That is one of the reasons that I don't use or suggest Norton...

You are much better off using avg.  It is so much better than Norton and best of all it is free.  It also uses a lot less resources than NAV does...
