Thanks very much for your help. I have one more inquiry and then, I promise, I'll go away  Whenever I am trying to open an email (which, of course, atpresent I cannot properly do without saving the attachment (email) and then viewing), my computer sounds as though it is powering up and down. This does not happen with any other programs - i.e. Internet, etc.?? I realize that this is a hardware problem, but have you had any such complaints from Windows Mail users?

I can't say that I've ever heard that particular complaint. Before you blame the hardware, try an alternate email program. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/VanderMolen "Noni" <> wrote in message news:3ED4A3D4-3078-4E64-9ED8-... > Thanks very much for your help.

It seems you need to be more specific about what "sounds as though it is
powering up and down" means. I can understand that you are not clear about what it means; in other words, you don't know what the sound is. It would help if you can get someone more familiar with computers to help identify the sound. The sound is probably a drive of some type, such as a hard drive or a CD-ROM or DVD. Your system can be set to power-down a hard drive that is not the primary hard drive. Other drives such as DVD drives automatically power down when not used. You might have some software installed that accesses the drive and most other software does not do that. It is probably not Windows Mail but it could be something else that was installed in your system that executes when WinMail does. It very well could be software used by WinMail to process attachments, since attachments are processed by whatever software that is associated with the file type.

Thank you, Sam Hobbs,
Please bear with me one more time. 1) I have corrected the “powering up and down” sound; I took the cover panel off the tower and cleaned it of dust, etc. (I had recalled someone once saying his computer made a noise, and he cleaned same, and the sound disappeared; it worked for me also, thankfully, and is now MOST quiet 2) I have reinstalled IE8 3) I have checked to be sure that all updates and patches are in, which I believe they are 4) I have just un-installed Windows Live Mail, which was performing exactly as is Windows Mail 5) Windows Mail: a) can create mail b) sends and receives quite timely c) going from one (any & all) function to another is delayed, taking about 20 seconds with message: “Windows Mail (Not Responding)” – with screen turning “white” d) going from folder to folder – with delay and, of course, no emails opening in folder: “Inbox – Windows Mail (Not Responding)” e) main problem still exists – CANNOT see emails in the preview pane; when double-clicking the message (or selecting “Open), the email appears (after a delay) as an attachment, and the attachment CANNOT be opened: “Cannot find”, etc. Only WMV files open OK – not JPG, HTML, TXT, etc. 6) IE works fine; all other programs are working properly EXCEPT Windows Mail Any additional suggestions for correcting this Windows Mail problem will be most greatly appreciated. BTW – I am using (and have been for years) Norton Antivirus products and am presently using Norton Internet Security.
