thanks Paul, looks interesting, will try in morning if it still hasnt booted

f9 is the boot menue , i got it quickly [no option for safe mode]

thanx

nearly managed that pressing f8 but i think it might be wanting  f9, any way it gets to user profile then preparing windows at normal speed…..do u still thinkit could be a hard ware/disk error. then a taskbar and blank desttop and time/date etc.

only onetep away from done

 

got it, thats the one i used, stil not fully booted, thanx mark

held up arrow as i rebooted [is that the shift key in the uk] just have empty desktop sofar

did that couple of days back, do u know how to fix it . its still trying to boot

thankks

hi, anyone know where i can find the long mail washer instructions that were in the original post , thanx

long time ago but fixed now, dont remember hoe, thanks

Thanx everyone. I had to re install the OS [for other reasons] and it seems ok now.

thanx everybody…getting a bit beyond me

Thanx everyone. It turned out to be a intermittent USB socket connection. I will get the USBDeview for the future.

The error message suggests Outlook is waiting for you to provide the SMTP password. Normally you would let Thunderbird save the password and then supply it automatically.

I would check the SMTP server settings for your account. Tools > Account Settings, scroll down to Outgoing Server (SMTP).
The settings should be:
SMTP server name smtp-mail.outlook.com
SMTP port 587
SMTP encryption method STARTTLS

Check the password is saved / reset the password
Tools > Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Passwords
Look at the SMTP server.

cheers, Paul

hi, just looked and seems to be in order as you say. [just to be sure you are aware: it always sends immediately when i cancel and then resend. so surly it must be remembering the SMTP password]

however there have been 3 or 4 instances out of maybe 10o where it sends first time and one instance where i needed to make 3 attempts to send a mail

thanks

still cant find the file so i cant tell if its empty, any way there dosent seem to be introductions in that article for finding it either

i found the error council. should i post some part of it here

thanks

i found this:

What happens when you click send? Do you get any error messages?
Check the TB logs for sending issues. Tools > Activity Manager.
