Life is so flipping complicated.

I want my Win7 Outlook 2003 and Word 2003 back!

Simple, stable and useful.

YOU ARE JOKING AREN’T YOU??

I need a cute icon to click!!

Not this:

“This article helps you reset the Hosts file back to the default.

What’s the Hosts file
The Hosts file is used by the operating system to map human-friendly hostnames to numerical Internet Protocol (IP) addresses which identify and locate a host in an IP network. The hosts file is one of several system resources that address network nodes in a computer network and is a common part of an operating system’s IP implementation.

The Hosts file contains lines of text consisting of an IP address in the first text field followed by one or more host names. Each field is separated by white space (Tabs are often preferred for historical reasons, but spaces are also used). Comment lines may be included, and they are indicated by a hash character (#) in the first position of such lines. Entirely blank lines in the file are ignored.

If the Hosts file is changed from default, resetting it can help resolve some connectivity issues.

Resolution

To

reset the Hosts file back to the default, follow these steps according to your operating system:

Windows 10
To reset the Hosts file back to the default, follow these steps:

Open Notepad. To do this, search for “Notepad” using Cortana, and then tap or click the Notepad icon.

Copy the following text, and then paste the text into the file:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a ‘#’ symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
On the File menu, select Save as, type “hosts” in the File name box (as displayed in the following image), and then save the file to the desktop.Screenshot showing how to save the
Close Notepad.

Search for %WinDir%\System32\Drivers\Etc using Cortana, and then select the File folder icon.

Tap and hold or right-click the Hosts file, select Rename, and then rename the file as “Hosts.old”.

Copy or move the Hosts file that you created in step 3 from the desktop to the %WinDir%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder. If you are prompted to enter an administrator password, select Continue.”

Ha ha!

It’s an easily located text file that you can edit with notepad.

If you look at it, you might even see the line that is causing the trouble, if the other folks are right.

Outlook is soooo yesterday.

Just use any of the many browser email services like gmail. You’ll never lose your mail again like outlook likes to do every so often.

I assume you are running Firefox. The developers literally screwed the pooch and no ad dons are working right now. They are working on an emergency fix. I would expect it tomorrow some time.

Actually, it's only as difficult as you make it. Fortunately for me, I had a good grade school education so I already know how to spell........Sheesh!
