In order to research a problem I'm having (inability to send/receive emails

with jpg attachments) with my currently installed IE7/SP3 setup, I have a

question.



If I uninstall SP3, then uninstall IE7, then reinstall both, and screw it

up, will a Restore Point made before I start get me back to proper

installations of IE7 and SP3? ( I have a CD for SP3



Thx

Dave

WnXP IE7, SP3 OE6
 
Don't you think the problem is with Outlook Express rather than IE7 or SP3?

Have you checked the settings in OE?

I don't think that uninstalling

a operating system update

or an internet browser will

repair your email issue.



instead I would first see if

your email functions properly

in safe mode with networking.



then there is a way to see if

you can resolve the issue using

system restore,



by making a system restore

point for today,



then execute an older system

restore point to send your system

back to a functional point in time.



if the email works with the older

restore point, then accept the

current configuration.



if the email still doesn't work then

bring your system back up to date

by executing the restore point you

made for today.

We've checked OE till we're blue in the face - no joy. Since I don't have a

good fix on when the jpg problem starter, I'm wondering if it was when I

went from IE6 to IE7. Since OE is built into IE - thought I might give it a

try. If my jpg problem goes away when I'm back to OE6, at least I'll feel

better about the whole thing. Then I have to decide if I want to get back

to IE7 or not.



Decisions, decisions, decisions,

Dave

What error do you get or what happens when you try to SEND a jpg file?

If you have SP3 why don't you try IE8?

Restore Points will be created when you *reinstall* IE7 and/or SP3.



Never, EVER use System Restore to "undo" the install or uninstall of an

update, Service Pack, or IE upgrade! Instead, uninstall/reinstall the

update, Service Pack, or IE upgrade & reboot. If that doesn't correct the

problem, then try System Restore.



NB: I dunno if your JPG attachment problems are due to filtering on that

funky local dial-up provider's mailserver, a mailbox that's exceeded that

ISP's limits, or that fact that YOU DO NOT HAVE A RESIDENT ANTI-VIRUS

APPLICATION INSTALLED. I do know that uninstalling/reinstalling IE7 & SP3

isn't going to fix it.

Thanks PA Bear -

I'm not going to get back into this again, it was just a thought. BTW, I

installed the Microsoft Security Essentials per your suggestion, and will

keep it up to date. Ran a scan, but no joy.



Again, this is as far as I'm going with this.

Out

Thanks again

Dave

That's good.



So far we have a problem, a problem an issue and another problem.



This is followed by some kind of checks, mights, maybes, an assumption

and several if/try combinations.



No idea exactly what the problem or issue is though.
 
Have you tried sending/receiving emails (via webmail) with pix using a free

Gmail account? ...using a Gmail account running in Outlook Express?

Why don't you try other email programs, like Eudora (which is free

now), Thunderbird, etc. and see if they sent jpg's.
