I think its the tins of spam thats stopping it. Try removing all spam and try again and you will probably get further.

You have been giving useful advice recently. What happened to your generic fix all answer of - "install Linux and all will be ok" ?

Have you installed some software recently ? if so it may be bundled with macros or malware causing it to mess up the system data.

Heh, the posters sig was 'tweaked' very soon after I responded, basically I believe its just a spam message trying to pass itself off as a genuine request. I've seen a number of them with similar MO.
