It sounds like your primary problem is that you can't see the spambayes toolbar. You should have received an automated reply to your post with a link to the spambayes FAQ - that includes some troubleshooting tips for getting your toolbar to show, and it also includes instructions for finding you log file - that log file may offer some clues. A very common problem is that people sometimes accidently delete the entire "spam" folder, so spambayes is unable to work correctly. If this is the case, you can probably find the accidentally deleted folder itself in the "Deleted Items" folder.

I'm running Outlook 2003 on an HP Pavilion desktop running Windows XP. I downloaded your program (on Kim Komando's good advice, thank you), and I have an application file version 104.x. When I first installed it, it seemed to kick into gear, setting up a nifty spam folder, reading my junk mail and diverting it, and generally behaving. The only exceptions were that I never saw a toolbar or, for that matter, an icon anywhere on my desktop or in the Start menu. I could live with that, because it seemed to be working. I think it was working for two or three days. (I shut down my entire system at night, and reboot each morning.) About three days ago, I got a message telling me there had been a problem that only I could correct by reconfiguring the program. And that's where the grief began. I have tried all the hints and clues and suggestions - and I am baffled!. I have tried several reinstalls, and there is one notable issue: I don't see the install wizard, and I know that something requiring 8.3 mb doesn't unfold itself in no more than the blink of an eye. What's happening, and what do I need to do next? I'm a cranky old broad of only moderate techie-nerdiness, and I'm frustrated!
