no connection on outlook express from standby

I am on windows XP with ie6. My outlook express window will open but will not connect when starting from standby.When opening from cold boot the outlook express opens and connects without any problems.Can anyone offer any suggestions to rectify this problem. Have searched the forums for this problem but had no success.As a computer novice I would appreciate any help.Have called my isp for suggestions but they only advise a complete re-install of ie6/outlook express.
 
Hi Newboy100


Here is a silly question have you selected outlook express as your default email service? I every rarely use it and I perfer to use MS Outlook & Googlemail?. May I be so bold as to suggest you upgrade to ie7?. I found outlook express to be a pain in the butt hence my reason for wanting to use it :nod: The best people on this forum to help you is Mel or Kits & Olddude:D
 
This I will leave to Mel or old dude I never use outlook express its too much of a pain now outlook that comes with office 2007 is good I like that but too dear for my pocket, so I use thunderbird.

Thanks for the response Curtis-my oe is set as default email,i will try ms outlook as you suggest and see if this solves the problem.As for upgrading to ie7,i think i will wait awhile as i note on reading various forums that it still has teething problems and still needs to be improved.I'm to much of a novice to get into the realms of sorting problems on the pc as yet and do not want to encourage further problems.

Thanks for your comments-will change default email as suggested by Curtis for now to see if that works and hopefully in the meantime one of your recommeded members may reply suggesting alternative workarounds.
