how do you have your email screen setup?

this is a regular pop account right? cause you can't use hotmail or yahoo or other web based mail services.

i also tried download winamp
and it doesnt work also like the email
should i download something else ?

do your other screens look ok?
is the baud rate setup right in windows and on the LCD?

the lcd is working fine
except for email and winamp

CrystalControl doesnt support Winamp3.
Use Winamp 2.xx, its better anyway.

No idea about your email problem
Oh, you have filled in the email settings in the settings dialog right?

You probably didn't do it right. E-mail server setting is probably where you went wrong. For instance, even though the domain of my e-mail address is ecs.fullerton.edu, the mail server address is mail.ecs.fullerton.edu

Get with your ISP and ask them what the setting is. Make like you're configuring Eudora or Outlook.
