I have XP Home, SP2, O/E and I/E for the Internet.
For some time now (from about 5 months ago) I have been getting this error message and am timed out after 5 minutes with larger emails in O/E. It won't even let me download anything over 5Mgs and for MOST emails over 1 mg, I have to go into my Webmail with Optusnet to read the larger ones and then try and save anything that I want. If it is trying to download a larger one, then it won't download any others, the large one blocks it and I am timed out constantly. My Server Optus, says it is something in my computer, not their fault, but it is getting to be darned nuisance always going into Webmail to access my mail all the time.
I have googled the Error No,and there are solutions saying to Download a Registry tool to fix it, but they always turn out to be FREE scans and then you pay to get the Fix, are there any Free ones that will do the Job, please?? Or can anyone help me with a solution, many thanks.

Thank you Gurutech. Have done all that you suggested and now am waiting to get some emails that might be the problem. Will follow up later, Many thanks again.

Set XP to search in hidden and system files (under advanced).

Thanks Gurutech for response, but where do I find this file, I did a Search and Run action, but they both came up with "File not found" etc.!!

Thanks for the response, I have been working my way thro' the Google pages, but haven't been able to correct the problem, so far. Will keep working on it!

Maybe if you remove then reinstall o/e it will sort it? Control panel>windows commponet wizard.

Thanks for response Rebon, I had just about come to that conclusion myself, but am not sure if everything that I have in O/E will be re-installed, do you know if it will, in the instructions I read, it made mention of getting everything back, but that was for other versions of Windows, XP instructions don't make mention of it at all??

Look here hopefully it will give you an answer http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=e...a=lr%3Dlang_en
