Do you have SP2? If so, you should have that inetcomm.dll

It looks like something is unregistering inetcomm.dll during the boot
process. All I cab think of that might do that is malware. So How Did I
Get Infected Anyway?

Well I guess I spoke too soon! I booted up this morning and it was back
again!

Can I ask you this which version of the inetcomm.dll file should be
there - the one used for SP1 or SP2 as I have the newer one in there for
SP2. Could that be the problem.

Can't tell you how frustrating this for me. Azh

Yes I am running Windows XP - SP2 and have the inetcomm.dll for that version.
This just started two days ago - I have cleaned out files; have run Adware
and Spyblaster; scandisk and defragment - have even tried Restore back before it happened - I will check out some of these websites - strange that it should suddenly clear up and then when I turned on computer this morning it works.

I am having to use the News Surfer here to write to the newsgroup.

My mail is coming in just find and sending when I forward something. Just still get the blank emails and they won't open.

Have you tried building a new identity?
Corrupt identities have shown some very strange problems.

I haven't tried that and not sure how I would go about doing that.

I did another restore only further back this morning and it is working again BUT
I don't will happen when I turn my computer off and back on again. I created a new restore point for today when it was working.

See this link for how to create a new identity in OE

You would set up the new identity identical to your current "default" settings and it should
seamlessly get your mail.
Then if all works well with the new identity, import your address book and old mail into the new
identity and delete the old identity.

I would recommend compacting all OE folders in the old identity before
importing its folders into the new identity.

Thanks for the help and also Richard - I kept this information. I ended up uninstalling
my McAfee virus scan, etc. and reinstalling it as it was a newer version from my server.
I then did another Restore only further back about l month. Then I had to do the
ten Windows Updates once again. Knock on wood but everything seems to be
working great once again and the inetcomm.dll file must be now sticking.

Thanks for all your help! Azh
