Newsgroups: The Bottom Status Bar Will Say Something Like '151 Message(s), 0 Unread, 23 Not Downloaded'
May 6, 2008
Using Windows Mail on Vista Business SP1. Version 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205)
(But I remember this same issue on Outlook Express)
Some newsgroups, like microsoft.public.cert.itpro.mcitp always show as having unread messages. The bottom status bar will say something like '151 message(s), 0 unread, 23 not downloaded'. So, I do a catch up, and the next time it updates, it shows as having unread messages again, but it won't download them.
it only has 'task status' on top and 'end task/switch to/new task' on bottom, if i Right Click on the tool bar icon i get 'close/always on top' no other functions. how do i get the old display back, and how'd this happen to begin with i did a restore to an earlier date. the good box came up, but after i deleted the ASUS crap off it this one returned.
is there a way to default windows mail so that instead of starting to type at the top, it starts at the bottom of the message? You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
On Vista hardware_devices and a couple of other groups using Windows Mail as News Reader there are always Not Downloaded Message which means if I leave the group after reading ALL the=20 messages the Group is still high-lighted in Black as if there were unread messages in Group. I can RIGHT CLICK and RUN=20 CatchUp and the group is no longer highlighted however if I go back and check and there are no more messages to read it will still show some of Messages Not Downloaded and the Group is Highlighted again. (The shown Not Downloaded varies often.)
So I used Maintenance and cleared all messages and then removed the entire account. Then I DELETED all the actual message groups in C:Users so there was no trace of the Groups. Then I redid the=20 Account and ReSubscribed to the Groups but no luck. The Groups that do this are still doing it. Anyone else have this issue? I think it started a couple of months back. I realize I can have it mark All Messages Read when I exit a group however I don't want that if I really have not read the ones I wanted.
I've had this problem with XP/OE and it seems to exist with a new install of Vista / Windows Mail. After a while, a newsgroup starts showing an unread count when it shouldn't. For example, at the moment, m.p.vc.ide.general shows that I have 3 unread. When I select it, no posts show up. If I do "catch up" from the right click menu, it clears but it comes back next time I select the group.
It seems that this happens after running the automatic "Windows mail can optimize" thing. A second thing is that "catch up" seems to take a lot longer after running this optimize. Clicking on a message, doing a select all, and then mark as read works immediately. This also existed with XP pro. Is there any way to reset whatever is causing this?
I'm using Windows Mail 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205) on Vista Home Premium SP2. I have an irritating problem with one of the Usenet groups I subscribe to. I have around 10 threads I'm currently watching, none of them have any unread messages-however the group is still highlighted in bold red text in the folders pane. How do I find out which message is causing this propagation?
I have the four usual Headers in Windows Mail (Vista). Folders - Unread - Total - Sync. Settings Currently the Unread Header shows: Unread 0, Total 161, Sync. Settings is checked. How can I get to the Total mail of 161 to re-read/review??
i have a windows vista home premium cd. it came with a product key but i already used that. i wanna know if i can use that same cd to install windows vista but using a different product key that displays under my laptop.
My max display resolution is 1280x800 (fujitsu generic monitor), and it seems I can't see the bottom of the popup where you change/edit signatures. Isn't there supposed to be somewhere in these options where you can click an OK or apply button?
I just re installed Vista Home Premium. It is an upgrade copy. I did a clean install which I have done many times before. I just noticed this morning in the lower right corner Windows Vista (tm) Evaluation Copy. Build 6002 this caught my eye because I am also using Windows 7 on another maching and see the build number of that sysem. I bought the copy of Vista and thought everything was
I know that sp1 is for evaluation and for testing and all, but is there anyway we can remove that watermark at the bottom. I know its something with the .mui file, and i have been able to get rid of it in x86 vista sp1, x64 seems as if there is something different.
My laptop inspiron 1515 (I know it starts with 15) has below it, a switch you can make "lock" in place and also has a picture of a lock next to it. I pushed it all the way and it locked in place, and I can't get it to go back where it was or unlock. Felt like breaking the thing but I thought maybe someone here would know what it's for.
I have had a corrupted system for some reason so had to remove everything and restart. However. The Vista Product Key on the bottom of my Laptop has faded so a few of the letters look unrecognisable. I have tried what I believe it to be and it doesn't work. As I have not exactly lost my Product Key, Is there a way to get this product key from somewhere without paying for a new one ?? I have activated it with microsoft and provided my details so should it be registered to me somewhere ??
On my desk window my lower toolbar is no longer accesable. The on with the clock, network e.d. in. Also the quick launch icons the minimized windows are no longer clickable. If I click on it I recieve the error sound. Only the windows main icon works on the lower left side. It is very irritating to need to open a window that is minimized via the taskmanager to activate the window. What's wrong with my toolbar and how can I restore it?
I created a signature in windows mail and it is inserted in every mail and reply at the bottom of the mail. However, I always reply on top of a message so that the person who receives my reply doesn't need to scroll down to read the (latest) reply. Now, I have to move the signature from the bottom to the end of my reply, above the original message I received. Is there any way to insert the signature on top of a reply instead of at the bottom?
I am unsure what has caused my problem, so I was hoping someone may be able to shed some light on it for me. I am running, Vista Business 32bit. Everything had been working fine, but without any changes to hardware, software or drivers I now have resolution problems. Firstly, when I boot my pc up it all goes well until just after the ???Windows Vista??? logo at the bottom of the screen comes up (during boot) the monitor goes into standby mode. Now the only way I have found to get my monitor out of this is to unplug the DVI cable from the back of my tower and plug in back in. The monitor then runs as normal ??? SO THATS ONE PROBLEM. Secondly, when the above problem first happened (and this is still happening) my resolution is stuffed. My monitor can go up to 1680x1050 and my Video Card can easily handle this. (Which it had been doing). But now I can only achieve 1024 x 768.
i have a dell xps 630i thats running windows vista. on friday, around 230 eastern time, my computer crashed. when i went to turn it back on tho, i saw something different with the dell writing, and the intel logo on the bottom right corner. they both were covered with dots eveywhere. After that screen passes by, i got a different new screen that i never got before. it was a phoenix awardbios screen. and below that it said, floppy disk(s) fail (40).
never seen that before. when i try to start my computer up, i can either go to start up repair or start normally. when i do the start up repair( ive done it 9 times already) it says my computer cant fix the problem, and then i can either send or not the error report. and when i start it up normally, it goes to a blank screen. and then my computer goes into power save mode. anyone know whats up with it and how i can fix it.
I can't see all the text in certain Vista screens and cannot access the bottom of the screen (i.e. sounds, DPI settings). I couldn't install the Vista SP1 because I cannot access the area to check off "I Accept". These screens cannot be made larger and have no sidebar sliders. In DPI Scaling box (which also does not show all text), the "Default scale 96DPI" choice has a strikeout line through it and it is grayed out. The only choice is "Larger scale 120DPI". My monitor is about 4 years old, 17" LCD Flat, eTronic brand 1710. Monitor settings in Hardware is PNP Generic.
This is a list of Windows Vista User Interface (UI) Bugs we need resolved before upgrading from Windows XP. I have also added a list of Flaws I think are important (before I use windows Vista personally). These were found within the space of 3 hours when I first used Windows Vista, and had to customise it.
1. CRITICAL BUG: When untick; Start Menu Properties ??? Keep the taskbar on top of other windows, windows do not always go in front of task bar ??? this makes this customisation function useless as there are times when you will be working on a document and the text you are typing in is not visible as the taskbar lies on top.
2. BUG: task bar dragged from RH side to bottom, task bar no longer dragable (workaround: have to lock and unlock taskbar)
3. BUG: Start Menu - clicking 'favourites', then clicking 'recent items' stops showing content. (workaround: need to close and reopen start menu to fix this. This bug assumes favorites menu has been made visible on the start menu......
when i download a torrent in the bottom of the screen shows me a yellow sign and then a red sign in the yellow telling connection problems and in the red not connectable but it still downloads...what kind of problem is this and how can it be solved?????
I am hating Vista right now...I bought a computer from Frys and I brougt it home and it connected to the internet just fine. Sometime later it decided to lose sight of the network altogether. I have vista 32bit. My video card is an nVidia nForce Networking Controller. The driver currently on there is nvm60x32.sys. After doing some google searching I have found that I am not the only idiot who decided to try vista out and is having the same problem.
I used to have a Network Icon in the RH Tray, with a blue mark to show the Internet connection was up and running. All of a sudden it showed a red cross, yet the internet connection was still OK. Yesterday the icon disappeared altogether and I can't see how to get it back! It is not one of the hidden icons.
I subscribe to a stationery group within my Vista windows mail. Often they have in their newsgroup post a "message ticker" that runs a message across the status bar like "have a great day". Windows Mail's 'status bar' only displays how many messages I have, how many messages are unread and how many messages not downloaded. How do I get my status bar to display the poster's message ticker when I open their stationery post that is using a message ticker?
I've just had a look at the "update history" section in Vista, and there are numerous updates with a status of "Failed". Can anyone advise on why they have failed, when others have gone in, and also what I can do to correct the situation?
Are you a user of Windows Vista Enterprise or Business edition and would like to know the status of activation of a specific computer? Want to make sure that the computer connected properly to the Key Management Server (KMS) or used your Multiple Activation Key (MAK) properly? Or are you a home user and just want to make sure your computer is fully activated?
Included in Windows Vista is very useful utility that will help you check the status of activation of your computer:
Click on the Start Button and key in CMD and hit Enter to start up Command Prompt....
Is there a way to perform an analysis of the fragmentation level of a drive in Vista Home Premium? I miss being able to see a graphic representation of a disk's fragmentation. Also, previous versions of Windows provided the user a progress bar than informed them of the status of the defrag program when it was running. It appears that Home Premium runs in the background and one never gets a "defragmentation complete" dialog box with options to see a report. I've tried running it manually and not closing the Run dialog box, but it seems to run for hours without any feedback to the user.
i have sony vgn fw-140d ,when I turn on the laptop ,it doesn't want to boot,it is giving me this error 0xc000014c status.I try to go in command prompt but it doesn't let me .Went to a BIOS trying to reinstall Windows again -doesn't work.I got the impression that the hard drive works.
