Accessing POP email

I have a wierd situation on my home PC and I hope someone here can shed some light on it's resolution.

I have installed Norton Internet Security 2005. When I log onto the PC under my profile I can't acces my POP email account at ntlworld. The strange part is, if I log onto the PC under my wife's profile, I can access my ntlworld email.

Norton help has failed to fix this (it's taken a month so far). In fact, last night they made it worse. I uninstalled NIS, checked Outlook to make sure it could then link to my ntlworld email account (it could) then went to my gmail account (which I was using as I couldn't use ntl) only to find that now appeared as a blank screen in the browser (so presumably, if I choose to ditch NIS for something else I then won't be able to access my gmail account - great!) Strangely, I could access gmail under my wife's profile! (Sounds familiar).

Having reinstalled NIS as instructed I'm back to where I was (access to gmail but not ntl).

Anyway, those are the facts. So I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how to solve this. It's driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance,

Flybridge

I've solved part of this.

The issue re accessing (or not) my gmail account was solved by removing all my cookies. So now it is just a process of elimination as I put them back 1 by 1 to see which one caused the problem.

Still can't access my ntl account though.
