You tweaked something else. :-) It is very unlikely that you addressed the XPXP2 Event ID 4226 issue by tweaking the registry. That can only be fixed by patching the system files. http://www.speedguide.net/files/xp_sp2/EvID4226Patch211a-en.zip -- Best regards, Alexandermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I have to check all accounts individually to be sure all have been checked. I have the same problem with 4 accounts. The main account checks fine and as I was watching the other accounts, they timed out. I view the accounts on the connection manager. This is with Popfile also. There is no activity at all on the other accounts until the first one finishes. I guess you could change the Timeout time for the other accounts so they don't time out before checking. Not for sure but will give it a try and see what happens. Or you could set up to check the main account upon Startup. Then check the other accounts later on, sorta stager them. Will try out both and see what is the best way to go. -- Best regards, Michaelmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Daily Bible Verses at http://freeop.blogspot.com/ Registered Linux User #367776 Stop leading the witness! - Judge Okay, you lead. - Yakko pgpPB0C0icENe.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
