    A friend of mine is sending messages out and they are being repeated 5 times. That is, I get it 5 times. I know it is not intentional because it happens with every message. What could cause that?

    Are theirs the only ones that do this? If so, they need to scan their PC for Spyware and Trojans and Viruses. Had a friend that this happened to using XP and it was a virus causing the problem.

    Sorry, I should have clarified. When I send messages, others are getting multiple versions of the emails I send, so wouldn't it be a problem on my computer?

    All others or just some others? I think that your problem is different then the original posters friend has. Not griping, but you should have started your own thread. We can finish yours here as it is started already. What version of Window are you using?
    Have you tried doing this. Clear out your sent folder and also your Deleted Items folder. Then open up IE and delete Cookies, Temp files both on and off line. Then Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disc Cleanup. Put a check in ALL the boxes, click OK then Yes. Let it finish each step. It make take it a few minutes to do. Then reboot your PC and see what happens.
