Glad to be of help!

Thanks, I will keep that in mind for future reference. After the information here indicating that it was most likely my Norton giving me the problem, I had a live chat and when I described the problem they immediately uninstalled version 2008 and installed 2009 and now things seem to be ok--so...

Thanks again Celestra--I hear what you are saying--just can't understand why after nearly a year of using Norton on this new computer it all of a sudden starts doing this. To Kemical: I have Windows Vista Home Premium; 32bit. Anything else you need to know?

I don't see anything free at this web address. Thanks for your suggestion but it seems more involved than I want to get into. I foresee more problems if I don't do everything correctly. I don't need to extract attachments, I just want to open it and then either save it or delete it. I thought...

Thanks, Celestra. Don't know if I want to go that route yet and do new set-ups. I've read some threads about Windows Live users still having problems with issues other than mine. I don't know much about Windows Live Mail. Why do you think that would fix it?

I have 3 or 4 GB of RAM and 343GB on my hard drive

I've never attached anything to a forum response but I think I did it right. I see it when I click on the attchment. It has happened when opening .eml, .wmv, .doc. It eventually will open it up, often the next time that I try again. It seems to be happening more often. As I said in my first...

This new quirk message has been appearing lately. It usually happens when I open an attachment but not every time. Maybe every 5th or 6th time. It goes from this message to "Looking for a Solution" to "Restart". I have run Window Defender and AdWare but it still is occurring. Anyone experience...

I thought I had this issue resolved, but it has returned. I then tried the suggestions from davehc above. However, I have no choice on my Vista Home Premium control panel for Adminstrative tools so I did a search and found an Administrative tools folder but there is no Local Security Settings to...

Forgot to add that the box for "User must have user name and password "should be ticked then click Reset Password and that is where the boxes should be left blank.

Thanks for everyone's response. I previously tried the "compmgmt" in the Run box and it would not let me in to the Local users and groups. A late night chat with an HP rep. resulted in another way that seems to have gotten rid of it permanently. In the Run box I typed: Control UserPasswords2...

Sorry to disappoint you davehc (and me too) but when I typed the command in, I got the following message with an X in a Red dot: Windows cannot find 'gpedit.msc'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." Please let me know if you or anyone else can solve this mystery. Thanks

Well, unfortunately, unticking this box did not work. I still get a pop-up message when logging on in the two accounts on the computer that password will expire in 5 days. Any other suggestions?

Thanks-- I do not have to use a password every time I log on, only after so many days have passed and it asks for a new one. I hope this does the trick. It was due to expire in 5 days so I will see if I still get the message. I can't believe it has taken so long to find this answer.Windows Help...

I would like to remove the password for any account. I have a 32 bit. I have gone to another Forum 64 bit and followed those directions including typing in a command of "net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited" and got a message "not recognized as an integral or external command, operable program or...
