Well I uninstalled incredimail, zone alarm, restarted my computer, made certain no trace files etc were lingering, deleted them, restarted my computer again....
Installed sygate free version for now thanks
Re installed incredimail and the same problem....
I do not know what the problem could be?

Well it's 3 am here and I am going to sleep...
But any solutions would be helpful.
This is crazy.....
