    I am running Windows Vista. everything was fine until I installed MS office 2003 from a disk I had. Now I cannot email from a website. I have uninstalled the program but I keep getting the message that the default mail is not properly installed. How do I fix this problem? from what I can tell all my mail settings are correct. Please help. Thanks.:

    Welcome to WindowsBBS :)

    Check in Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Programs that your current emailer (WM) is selected in the email drop down list.

    more help needed

    I checked the settings in IE but still email won't work right. Still can't email from a website and when I try to send from WMail a screen pops up that says connected but message doesn't send..I get error message that says my server terminated the connection. possible causes, server problem, network problem or long periods of inactivity. No, socket error:10053,
    Error #0x800CCC0F

    As I use neither Vista or Windows Mail I am limited in the assistance I can give you beyond that which I have already posted.

    I suggest you consider a System Restore to a point prior to installing Office 2003.
