Which antivirus are you using? Since you are a Dell customer it may well be Norton or McAfee. Both of which are proving to be incompatible with Windows Mail and should be uninstalled as soon as possible. note. Your Windows Mail accounts should be removed and recreated to ensure all lingering pollution from those products is eradicated. Use a free, compatible, alternative such as Avast or AVG to eliminate the possibility of Norton or McAfee interference. http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html http://free.grisoft.com/doc/download...virus/us/frt/0 My System Specs You need to have JavaScript enabled so that you can use this ...
