My ISP provider made a swap to ADSL2+ so that my old ADSL modem is no more running. I changed it and now I use a suitable Modem-Router that doesn't use a "remote connection" as before, but a LAN setting. Well: while Internet Explorer 8 is working O.K., Outlook Express 6 (Win XP SP3) continue to ask for a connection that no more exist and here it stops. I went to see my O.E. setting "accounts" but it is no more possible because clicking on "tools" menu, the "account" item doesn't exist any more. Note that Mozilla Thunderbird works very well!1 person got this answerI do too

No Accounts in Tools drop-down box: Go to Start | Run and type in: regedit Click OK and locate this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express On the right-hand side of the page, double click: *No modify accts* value. {If this value does not exist, on the Edit menu, click DWORD Value. Type: No modify accts, and press Enter to save the name}. Change the setting of this value from 1 to 0, click OK. That should put it back in the drop-down box. If you have any problems with those instructions, this is a direct registry modification download that will also put it back: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/oenomodifyundo.reg If neither fix works, /and/ you already had the *No Modify Accts* value in the registry, delete it and reboot. If Accounts is back, good. If not, recreate the *No Modify Accts* value as per above. And if you still find it missing: Restart the computer. Keep tapping the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears. Choose "Safe Mode with Networking" and press Enter. Click Start | Run and type in: MSIMN.EXE Click OK.Bruce Hagen ~ MS-MVP [Mail]
