Thank you for that, it seems to have worked :)

Okies, I have a second problem which I hope is my last.

I am trying to get MSN explorer to re add my existing
account to itself. I go through the options and select
that I already have an email...type the email and the
password and all it does is say please wait....all the
time.

Could anyone help me out please?
