Also, we need more detail on what you mean by locking up the program. If you get any error messages, right click on them and copy the entire error messages to your next message. Many problems in Windows Mail are due to interference from antivirus programs, so also tell us what if any antivirus programs you have, and whether you have ever had a Norton or McAfee antivirus program on that computer. |

| | Re: Windows Mail locks up This is my 78 year old Uncle's computer and he isn't sure what to tell me over the phone!!!! Apparently it is just one person's email that locks up his inbox. A co-worker from Colorado. Other employees with the same provider don't lock him up. Once he clicks on it, it doesn't want to connect anymore. He is using something called ...Trend or Trent anti-virus and has never had Norton or McAfee installed on this Vista SP-1 loaded laptop. No error messages.... <robertmiles@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uUynWtRwIHA.5288@xxxxxx Quote: > > "Mark Shanks" <mshanksy@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:A026B8C5-6893-4579-8A33-3F1FD639E68D@xxxxxx Quote: >> >> "Spineskier" <ttorgerson3@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news 331EEE5-E766-4DC0-927B-7E32E930970D@xxxxxxQuote: >>>I am running Vista SP1... >>> I'm using Windows Mail... >>> Some emails lock up my windows mail. >>> I can navigate to other internet functions but the mail is locked up???? >>> Any idea what is locking up my mail...and where to fix it??? >>> Thanks for your help. > > Also, we need more detail on what you mean by locking up the program. > > If you get any error messages, right click on them and copy the entire > error messages to your next message. > > Many problems in Windows Mail are due to interference from antivirus > programs, so also tell us what if any antivirus programs you have, and > whether you have ever had a Norton or McAfee antivirus program on > that computer. > > |

| | Re: Windows Mail locks up Trend Micro antivirus is not compatible with Windows Mail. It should be uninstalled and replaced with a more compatible antivirus. Acceptable free ones are: AVG free edition: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0?prd=aff or Avast free edition: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html With either of those, during the install phase you must select custom install, and then deselect the email scanning option. Another option is to upgrade Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail. The latter is not so prone to bad effects from antivirus programs. http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "Spineskier" <ttorgerson3@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8D87FC16-5DB4-4B39-9F42-B89F20E3F71F@xxxxxx Quote: > This is my 78 year old Uncle's computer and he isn't sure what to tell me > over the phone!!!! > Apparently it is just one person's email that locks up his inbox. > A co-worker from Colorado. > Other employees with the same provider don't lock him up. > Once he clicks on it, it doesn't want to connect anymore. > He is using something called ...Trend or Trent anti-virus and has never had > Norton or McAfee installed on this Vista SP-1 loaded laptop. > No error messages.... > > > > > <robertmiles@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:uUynWtRwIHA.5288@xxxxxx Quote: >> >> "Mark Shanks" <mshanksy@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:A026B8C5-6893-4579-8A33-3F1FD639E68D@xxxxxx Quote: >>> >>> "Spineskier" <ttorgerson3@xxxxxx> wrote in message >>> news 331EEE5-E766-4DC0-927B-7E32E930970D@xxxxxx>>>>I am running Vista SP1... >>>> I'm using Windows Mail... >>>> Some emails lock up my windows mail. >>>> I can navigate to other internet functions but the mail is locked up???? >>>> Any idea what is locking up my mail...and where to fix it??? >>>> Thanks for your help. >>> >> >> Also, we need more detail on what you mean by locking up the program. >> >> If you get any error messages, right click on them and copy the entire >> error messages to your next message. >> >> Many problems in Windows Mail are due to interference from antivirus >> programs, so also tell us what if any antivirus programs you have, and >> whether you have ever had a Norton or McAfee antivirus program on >> that computer. >> >> |
