Ok, one more little problem. On the SUBJECT line from my Greek Groups the
characters come out FUNNY and not readable.

On the body of the e-mail the characters are in Greek which is the way it's
suppose to be.

On OE and IE I have under Encoding GREEK WINDOW

Any ideas?

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3).

Is the computer fully-patched at Windows Update?

If Automatic Updates (AU) were enabled, one would expect you to have SP3
installed by now.

In any event & with all due respect, I didn't ask if AU was enabled, I asked
if the computer was fully-patched? If you go to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com & do a CUSTOM scan, what's offered?

Can you install all critical security updates that are offered?

Tip: Do NOT install IE8 at this point; uncheck it & "hide" it for now.

Tip: WinXP SP3 - Read all prerequisites for a successful installation

The system is only like a few days old. SP3 is now installed.

What is the next step?

Return to Windows Update: Are any critical security updates offered now? If
so, install them.
