Re: setup is restarting...

Hi, Everett.

We'll have a much better chance to help you if you continue a coherent thread, rather than starting a fresh conversation with each post. :>(

I see you are using Outlook Express. To continue a conversation, click Message | Reply to Group, or press Ctrl+G. (Or you can do what I did long ago: right-click on the Toolbar, click Customize, then add a button for Reply Group to your Toolbar. You might find several other useful buttons to add, as well.)

When you click Message, you will see several choices, including Reply to Sender, Reply to All and Reply to Group. Reply to Group posts your message here and "threads" it so that it becomes a part of an ongoing conversation. Reply to Sender sends an email message to the user who posted the message to which you are replying; this is generally considered a breach of Netiquette unless the sender has specifically invited email, or unless the subject of your message veers from the topic of the newsgroup. Reply to All sends your message to BOTH the group and the sender; this is seldom the right choice.

Also, it would help if you click Tools | Options... and on the Send tab, check the box to Include message in reply. This way, the reader can see the prior message and understand the context of your latest post - just as your prior message is quoted below my signature here.

I found your earlier posts and the response from Thorsten Matzner by clicking on the header for the From column here. But they are disjointed and don't make a continuing thread. And there's not much hope that Thorsten will see your latest message, even if he clicks View | Current View | Show Replies to my Messages.

I've tried every command after hitting the F8 button which seemed to offer some hope and things have simplified a bit. After cycling normally now I only get the "setup is restarting..." screen then the screen goes black for a second and flashes a writing error or a dismount error code; it's hard to read it because it flashes so quickly then disappears. I got several pages of suggestions from the link you first offered. do you have any other suggestions that might prove helpful and simpler? I'd be most grateful.
