Re: error Number: 0x800CCC0E



I need to correct my earlier post. MS issued directions to edit the registry
on previous problems with their Security Update patches. As far as I know,
MS has not posted any solutions/work arounds to this specific problem. In
searching the net, there is more than just a handful of OE users who are
experiencing this same problem with the latest security updates.

There have been numerous reports on the net that the April security updates
from Windows is causing a multitude of probelms with IE and OE. It's not a
coincindence folks!! Simply unistalling the patches won't work. You know MS
they never make anything that simple and have actually issued directions to
edit the registry to fix several problems associated with the April updates.
Anybody out there ready to go messing with the registry files???

I did a System Restore for the date just before I installed the April
updates and it solved the problem with OE error # 0x800CCC0e. You will
receive and update notification after doing this because it removed the April
updates. Simply uncheck each one and hit Close. I even tried uninstalling
them (using Add/Remove Program tool) one at a time to see if it was just
one or all. Nothing work except doing a System Restore.

Now the big question? When is MS going to recognize this problem and
re-issue the security updates that don't compromise other Windows programs?
It's like a toss up between security and performance!

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

I got this new computer in January and downloaded updates for Windows etc.
since. By mid-April I got error message number 0x800CCC0E when trying to
send/receive emails in OE. My servier is other than MSN.

If I log off and then log on again, the error message comes. If I turn
off
and restart the computer, or if I don't log off but allow the machine to
"sleep," I don't have a problem. But this only started happening after
April updates. Solution?
