I'm having problems with mine but not like the problems you are having, everytime i open outlook it disconnects me from the internet

[Whitequeen]

Me too. Tried to open an attachment DH sent (probably more hate mail!! :wink: ) and it locked up everything. :(

Stupid tek-no-logy!! :p

As we're on Techy stuff.
Can anyone tell me why a Document I have created in WORD won't allow itself to be attached to an e-mail?
When I tried to make it an attachment it said. 'The Document has a Virus that cannot be cleaned'.

It didn't come from the Internet, I wrote it. What's that all about? :confused:

i had that problem with word and outlook, its was to do with security levels, keith pointed me in the right direction to get a fix for outlook that allowed me to attach docs and exe files, not to sure though if your on your mac, keith is the apple guy :thumbs:

[Whitequeen]

Mornin, hun. :D

No, it was on the PC. :confused:

[Redkop]

hi hun :overhere:

just checked the page keith sent me to and it was .exe files not .docs, have you ran virus check on your pc to see if it has a virus

[Whitequeen]

Yeah. McAfee and Adaware. No worry, it wasn't important. My computer illiterate brain couldn't work out why something that wasn't from the Internet could have a Virus.
Let DH's IT department worry about it. When he takes the thing back, that is! :rolleyes: Still waiting..........

[candyman]

what i do is to copy and paste into an e mail
would that work for you
