hi here i am again after help from you good folks.........
story so far.... pc dies .... format hard disk...... reinstall stuff... pc ok...

ok think everythings where it should be but office outlook doesn't send and receive upon being opened as it used to. thought this was automatically set, so any ideas please. oh and while i'm here my internet history isn't being remembered longer than a day eventhough we've requested it to be stored for 3 days, why is this?

we're using xphome and it's all ok now since re-installation. we can manually send/receive with office so it's working, just not automatically.
