Sounds like a virus. Update whatever virus scanner you have then scan the computer in safe mode.\n\nYou get into safe mode by hitting the F8 key while it's booting up at the very beginning.

We might not want to call technical support for whatever reason, it is still best to contact them as this was stated in that email. There are underlying factors why it still showing you those kind of errors but only SBC knows because of the fact this is their product and that by just merely uninstalling it might not really help. Phone technical support will really take longer than what you think in which perhaps that is why you did not bother to call, did you? But just try it and be patient because they really need to ask you "stupid" questions to get into the bottom of it. But if you come to think of it, they are just asking these because they are not physically present to where your computer is.. You may not agree, but I guess this is all you can get for a free support.

u could try either restarting your computer or even taking it to the shop but the best idea if it is still running fine to just  go to the library to check ur mail until it works again

If you are using XP just create a restore point, that should be the easiest and should solve most issues if the occur.

i dunno about the lock-up thing.. but the shutdown thing MIGHT BE the infamous remote procedure call error (RPC) (that is.. if u r using XP).. It would give a countdown before shutting down the pc. It is becos of a goddamned worm. Try running an antivirus scan to flush out the worm.

May be a corrupted XP file.  DId you install anything new prior to getting the message, or done any updates?... I agree with the above suggestion.  Have you thought of doing a System Restore, too?

No cds? Gonna be hard unless Dell Has a System Recovery Software installed on the system so look for that program. If not try the system restore feature for Windows in System Tools under accessories. If nothing, borrow a ORIGINAL copy of Windows XP Setup CD and reinstall windows. Laterz

Should have come with your software. Unless of course you bought a pirated copy :( I believe I read something about XP and future editions of Windows will be configured to become inoperable on the host computer if the key is entered into another computer (like if you buy a new computer and load your copy of xp on it, it will become inoperable on the old computer)

You have some kind of conflict going on in the operating system.  If it gives you the option to send a message about the problem to MS, choose that.  Hopefully you will then get some suggestions about solving the conflict.

you have a lot of "stuff" running in the background or something like drivers or programs are conflicting and XP has to deal with them before shutting down. Also if you have restore points activated it could be saving a restore point

Windows 98 had known problems with shut down.  Check this website hopefully it will give you answers on where to go to resolve your problem without have to reinstall windows.\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/q238096/

You want to do what?  What's in the e-mail?  If it's just a message, save it to your My Documents directory, put a blank DVD in and drag and drop it to the disk using My Computer.  A DVD is a lot of room for just e-mail messages though.  Would be a waste of space.  Use a CD instead.  Windows XP has the software built in to copy files to CD/DVD if you have a write enabled drive.  It's just a drag and drop to the drive, then you get a wizard poping up telling you to finish the process.  Easy.

It sounds like your computer isn't set up to do e-mail at all, or perhaps you're using some non-Microsoft program (like AOL) to do it, and Works is not interacting with it.\n\nIf you can do e-mail from your machine at all, you should save the document (perhaps on your desktop, or My Documents directory) and then in the mail program, ATTACH it to a piece of e-mail that you create.
