Does Microsoft even care?? The software routinely hangs, crashes, won't process, freezes or you get error messages when processing as noted in several posts here?
- Are there any patches via Microsoft?
- Is there a version of Outlook Express that works with Vista?
I was using Microsoft Outlook Express as my mail client. Then Microsoft advised users to update to Windows Mail since they no longer supported Outlook Express..so I did. Now Microsoft is directing users to install Microsoft LIVE Mail? What is the difference between Microsoft Mail (which I am running) and Microsoft LIVE Mail....and, why would a user run LIVE over MAIL?

When I cam back all seemed ok. Opened IE with no problem, opened Windows
Mail - blue screen -
It gave an 0x0000008E code and something about tcpip.sys.
I shut down and tried again - same when I opened Mail plus I realised all
sound had gone.
Then while taking out SP1 I got another blue screen -
"a process or thread crucial to the system operation has unexpectedly exited
or been terminated" 0x000000F4
I've carried on with the uninstall after the restart.
Other that run the sfc /scannow what should I do to see if all is back to
normal??
Guess I'll not bother with SP1 thanks.
New (from November 2007) fairly high spec Dell running Ultimate.
I discovered the mother of all inferiorities of Vista vs WindowsXP.It turns out it's incapable of one of the fundamental - BASIC tasks Operating System must perform.FILE COPY/MOVE/DELETE takes ages, progress bar is lying, "Calculating Time Remaining" - you should see that dialogbox, it's spells death to productivity, it borders on the level of completely unusuable OS in our environment where we move 20-50GB/day on my CAD laptop Hilarious! Why has God punished me so that WinXP disk was missing and I installed this joke OS expecting an "upgraded" exprience?? I wish I could ascreenshots/pictures.
Please don't refer me to the known Vista "Network Autotuning" bugfix, I am not even copying over the network, it's an external USB2 Harddisk that used to take seconds to pump fairly large files, specificlaly it achieved 15-22MBps transfer rates.
Vista humps along at maximum 2-3MBps, then stumbles into the range of KBps and calculating GODDAMN TIME REMAINING or lying progress bar, then goes back to 2-3MBps, then again down to KBps range.I'm still wasting huge amounts of my time while I wait for Vista to calculate the time remaining before even starting to transfer files.
I have a computer that was working very well, but lately when I was working on a important project, there was a power fluctuation for a couple of times (I thought that was normal) but after the last power fluctuation my computer refused to boot up. There seems to be a failure of some kind?..but I need to get the projects back that are still in that disk.

Verizon is clueless. As am I since I have 4 XP laptops that all work. Vista is apparently trying to prevent me from hurting myself, and therefore I am unable to fix it.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn the current article published by Newsweek in the MSN Explorer's Technology section called "Microsoft After Gates (And Bill After Microsoft)", one of the sentences in the article says (in part) that Vista is a disaster and that it is having performance failings. What people are saying about Vista? Do they agree with Newsweek's verdict?

View 6 Replies View RelatedIn Windows XP, the Microsoft mail program would allow more that one e-mail address for a person. When you sent a e-mail, all the addresses would show before you sent the e-mail. In Vista, Microsoft Mail will allow you more than one address per person, but when I put the name in the "TO Box", only one address for that person shows up. In XP I could pick the address just before the e-mail was sent, but I can't seem to find a was to do it in Vista.

Quote: Security experts are warning of deceptive e-mails that claim that Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Outlook needs an update. "The e-mail claims that you have a new message in Microsoft Outlook, but you need to reconfigure your settings (by clicking on the helpful link) in order to read it. Of course, the e-mail is bogus and you're actually in danger of handing over details of your email settings to internet hackers," Graham Cluley, Sophos security expert, wrote in his blog.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am running Office Home and Student 2007 and have just run a diagnostic which suggests that my installation is not up to date and that I go to the Microsoft Update site and download any available updates. When I do, I am asked to sign on with 'Microsoft Update'. The idea is, I think, to combine this Microsoft Update with my Windows Update and let Office updates come though along with updates for Vista, IE, etc. I have posted here before with issues concerning updates including a fiasco I had last November which involved Office updates and am wondering, since Office seems to be working well at the moment (I was bored so I did a diagnostic ) should I bother with this or just leave it? Does Office have security issues like IE and Vista?

View 9 Replies View RelatedSeveral days ago I posted a question concerning the inability of my Microsoft Fingerprint Reader to function. I did not receive answers from anyone in the discussion groups. I spent several hours over several days speaking to a Microsoft tech support supervisor trying to get it to work, to no avail, and the case was closed by Microsoft as having no solution available.
This was not acceptable to me, being the curious person I am. I decided, what the hell, I'll just uninstall my OS, reformat and do a clean install. During the install I installed each and every update and application one at a time, checking the function of my fingerprint reader after each update and application, rebooting after each one. I had many updates and applications to install so it took me two days to discover the problem..........

*Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network connection and DNS server settings.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
I don't know how to fix this problem because it's never happened before.
By now, having read the headline and looked at the above image, you've concluded that I've finally gone crazy. "That Microsoft news writer at Ars has finally lost it," you mutter sadly, shaking your head. I assure you though, it hasn't happened yet, nor is this an early April Fool's joke. While you can't get the shirt pictured above from Microsoft anymore (no longer available), the company will be offering it again soon: it's called The Misdemeanor. The one that you can currently purchase for a mere $10 is The 101, and it's available at Urban Outfitters. In case you're you're wondering, yes, the binary does translate to "Softwear by Microsoft." Still think this is some kind of prank? The official website for "Softwear by Microsoft, A Clothing Lin." is already live at Microsoft.com.
