DA... thanks. That works at least for one test. So dose Control +/- on the active text. Strange that "Compose" doesn't affect font size while Display does. Seem either or both could be the needed function - but when composing it is Display that determines the font size. I'll Google for the pain size. Sorry to put you to that extra work/test but when I can't figure out some computer question my first thought is gardenweb/computer... not Google/Web.

Thankis, PoohBear for answering. I have high speed access. I did reboot, and unplugged for a couple of minutes. It didn't seem to change anything. I have done a little more looking, and this is what I have found: I am recciving and sending emails ok. In OE,I went to tools, accounts and see that I have three accounts. They are Janet Type- mail Connection- any available mail.charter.net Type- mail Connection- LAN pop3 Type- mail(default) LAN The problem seems to be with the third account pop3. Under properties, servers for this account it simply says pop3 or smtp, instead of pop.charter.net, or smtp.charter.net like it says in the account Janet. My question, is it ok to delete the third account titled pop3? When I get the error message above, there is a box that flashes on the screen that indicates it is checking all three accounts, and the first two are ok. The screen flashes on so fast I had to close and open several times to read it. As you can tell,I am not very knowledgable about all this. Thanks, Janette

This happened to be to an organization and I only know one of the people personally. The address for the one that didn't go was given to me and now I know it was given to me incorrectly. An O instead of an A in the name. I wanted to know for sure if the other two were sent, and now I know they were. Thanks to both of you for the replies. Sue

I had same error yesterday on a computer I was remoted into. I forget the program install it occurred on ..... I uninstalled/reinstalled updated versions of several programs on a xpsp2 computer. anyhow.. either an update to .net framework at microsoft... or maybe simply running her Internet Explorer for the first time ever was the fix. (her browser of choice, firefox 3.0 was one of the things I had uninstalled) Can't say for sure one of those is your fix.. but, I might try updating .NET .
