Igor,
Many thanks for your help and patience with me today.
I do indeed have 4.5 Beta running and seems to be all ok now.
I did have to set pop3 into outlook express to get that working.
I was also able to set skinless simple interface.
The only thing I feel I should keep an eye on is that yestrday when I tried avast repair it reported error. This may have been because other things were not running correctly, so I will see how it goes.
I do not see network shield, Should I?
I was expecting to see something different when I first installed 4.5 so probably messed it up trying to upgrade further.
Hope I am right on that.
Best Wishes to you and all,
Mal
