I am using Vista Home...I noticed last week after I had done an automatic update for my comouter that it would NOT complete file downloads from my emails.  It freezes @ 99% completed.  I just thought it was a "freak" thing & then it happened again & again!  I have gone into my problem reports & solutions on my computer & all it says is that I need to uninstall Adobe & then reinstall it.  I have done that but NO help.  Then I decided to do the backup & restore & it won't take me back far enough to BEFORE this last update.... Is there anything that I can do to fix this???
PLEASE help me... My emails with attachments are piling up! 
I am also using Mcafee Antivirus....Did a check & everything is ok. 
Thanks
Caroline

Are you using an email client or web based email (eg. YahooMail, Gmail, Hotmail)
