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.

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
