Hi guys

Still having problems, i guess my OST is screwed in some form. Whether I
have cache on or off, I am getting problems
When I look at send/receive its exchange that is stalling.

Perhaps I'm lucky in that its happening on my laptop rather my desktop,but
not sure of best course of action to take. Have tried recreating profile
but that lasted less than a daybefore problems started reoccuring.

IS the problem on my laptop of my exchange?

ANy advice gratefull received

thanks
A
