Parental Control causes OUtlook Constipation

Posted: 07-06-2006, 09:56 AM
So far my Vista 5385 experience has been great - the only hitch has been the
Partntal Control. I have four profiles set up on my system. I wanted to try
the Parental Controls after she accidentally mistyped her favorite website
name and came up with a hard core porn page instead.

At first the controls seemed to work fine. The problem was first noticed
when she tried to use her Outlook Express. It kept hanging whenever it tried
to connect & disconnect from the mail server.... in other words it was
constipated. ;-} Any troubleshooting I did was
to no avail until I checked into the Parental Controls. Once they were
turned off everything worked fine.

I had them set for her to access any program on my computer, so I canot see
that being an issue. The only restrictions put in place were to filter out
porn, hate & other nasty stuff you don't want an eleven year old getting into.

Suggestions on how to fix this or can anybody point out what I did wrong?

I would definitely bug this if you have the capability to do so.

I would also look at the content of her e-mail to make sure there were not
"words" that may have been triggering the filter, maybe it was working as
intended

Nope - nothing in her lexicon that would trigger that sort of reaction. I
just used the word "Test" in the body and the subject header to send it to my
own account.
