So I followed the advice of the elder geek
and I did it his way
sfc /scannow found nothing 'wrong', but I decided to re-install IE6
suffice to say it failed :eek:
so now the box is dead in the water [as far as IE6 is concerned anyway]
used CD to try and repair - [I think you're ahead of me now :p]
after going through all that it failed to 'see' the license # and now cannot boot
I'm about to re-install the whole OS
here I want to praise the gods who invented IDE cables that allow you to fit MORE THAN ONE HDD
all of my 'bits and pieces' are on the other disc, and so I just have to reinstall, get the updates, [forgot to ghost the image recently [read - ever] get the drivers for the various shite that attaches itself to your PC yatta yatta yatta ..................
I'll NEVER get used to it, but it is a LOT easier nowadays
So, to recap, it wasn't the ClarkConnect box [damn fine piece of S/W] it WAS the nut that holds the mouse :D

Hey Foxy
Sorry to hear about that, I have looked some more, and something I have noticed is a reference to AV programs that scan your POP and SMTP, apparently Norton is nortonarious for frigging up the authentication between box and server, and the error code seems to point in that direction too,...
Hopefully with a reinstalled OS , it will work out.... ;)

found a link to AVG's clashes with F/W's and problems with the mail :eek:
found it too late :p
and now it's GONE
re-install has just hit a snag
driver for the NIC is missing
so it wont see the network
so I can't get at the other goodies on the server either
DAMN the man who invented networks :Grrrr:
it just gets better and BETTER
so I've got 30 days to sort this .......
SHOULD make it :D
