Hi Ambros, Glad to help with Thunderbird. I'm passing the rest of this question, re: ACDSEE, over to Userhelper Richard Bonner as, I believe, he is more familiar with this program than I am. He might be able to make some suggestions to help you get it working properly. Tony @ CCN Help -------------------------- From: Ambros <waterbuf@chebucto.ns.ca> Yes, it worked. When I dragged the "western edge" of the pane a little to the "east," the side bar with all the folders appeared. I should have known that myself cuz I had made the side bar disappear by dragging in the opposite direction on older versions. I recently upgraded to WINXP and installed the latest version of Thunderbird. It came on without the side bar. That's what confused me. Mille grazie. Here is why I haven't answered sooner. Ever since the CCN problem of a week ago, I have had trouble logging in; and, if I did get in, I got kicked off again minutes later. This went on almost all week. Thursday evening, it seemed that I could stay on IF I DID SOME NET CRAWLING; that is, if made the connection do some work. But if I went away from the computer for only a few minutes, I got kicked off again. At last, yesterday (Friday) morning, it stayed online as long as I wanted it to, whether I "made it work or not." Now it seems ok. Keeping fingers crossed. I have another problem. Fly over what I say below. If you have a ready solution to the problem, let me in on it. If not, do not waste time trying to find one. I don't use ACDsee much anyway and if I need it, I can always go to the old computer. Still, it puzzles me why it should work on the old computer and why, though it installs on my newer computer and does everything I ask it to do except show a picture when I click on a picture file. Forget it if you are not familiar with ACDsee. Again, thanks a mil. Here my problem in a nutshell: I have an original copy of ACDSEE Version 5. I've been using it for years. It still works on my older computer. But, when I installed it on my newer computer -- XP the operating system -- it installed all the way and it works, but it does not work all the way. Let me explain. I have installed it several times. As I said, it installs. I have the original CD plus the installation key. And after installation, it does everything it is supposed to do except to SHOW pictures. It shows subdirectories and the icons representing the files in the subdirectories. But, when I click on the icon representing a *.jpg file, a blank screen opens. No picture. Have I pushed a wrong button somewhere? Have I disabled something somewhere? I have been up and down the "options" selection -- tried every option in VIEW, TOOLS, EDIT, etc. Nothing made any difference. But my picture files work. I still have, tucked away in a corner an older version of ACDSEE -- Version 1.3. It SHOWS all the files. If I hit the big plus on the number pad, the pics enlarge and if I hit the big minus they grow smaller. So nothing wrong with my picture files. Why, oh why will ACDSEE 5.0 not actually show the pictures? As I said above, if you are not familiar with ACDsee, forget all this. If you ARE familiar with the program but can't fathom what the problem may be, forget it too. You have helped me a lot and I don't want to consume any more of your time than can be helped. Ambros
