Mar 29, 2008I have messed up WindowsMail on one of my machines. For some reason the number of headers available for viewing is limited to +/- 100 even though I have the default 300 set. I have deleted the accounts and set up several times with the same result. Can someone please tell me how to tell Windows Mail to go back to showing me at least the 300 I've asked for. As an example - this newgroup is showing 298 messages, 298 read, 15221 not downloaded but only 106 are available for viewing! Help is needed.
View 5 Replies View RelatedDegradation In TV Viewing
Mar 15, 2009I have Vista Ultimate and the media center has started to show a choppy video and audio when watching TV. I have a digital TV tuner that records TV shows without the choppy playback most of the time. I save the recorded TV shows to an external hard drive. This is a new Dell computer with 4 GB of memory and a 2.4 GHz Intel processor. At first I never had this problem, but recently the TV viewing is impossible. I have updated all of the drivers to the latest versions without effect. Can anyone tell me to isolate the cause of the recent degradation in the TV viewing?

If I right click on the? Sent? folder it tells me the number of items in there which increases by one every time I send a mail? .I just can't see any of the mails. The 'Deleted' folder is even in bold indicating unread messages....if I could see them!

May 4, 2008i've only just recently got set up with vista (home basic), and, until this last week, haven't had any problems viewing the content offered by Internet, plus other online video sites. (no, not porn!):o) anyway, for some reason, over the last week or so, i'm having problems viewing the videos, due to what looks like a lot of buffering. they take ages to load, and then every few seconds, they freeze for a while, before carrying on. a few seconds later, the very same thing happens, so i've just given up on viewing anything at all, as it's driving me mad. has anyone else been experiencing this problem? if so, is there anything that can be done to get things back on track?

May 21, 2009When I open any one of my folders is there a way to NOT have the contents of the first e-mail listed displayed in the Preview Pane automatically? I know that if I click to the far right of the e-mail list the Preview Pane will be empty and a message will show that says "There is no message selected." Ultimately this is what I would like to see when I open any of my folders.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDoesn't Actually Show Up Normal Viewing
Mar 23, 2008I use the Pictures folder alot on my Vista based computer, and recently I was sorting through some of the pictures, deciding which ones to keep and which to delete. Most of these I have copied from my digital camera, and some I have downloaded from the web. Well, after having gone through them all, there is at least one in particular that I cannot seem to delete. I don't want it to just be sent to the Recycle Bin, but completely erased from the computer. I have discounted any viruses or spyware, and checked all my 'Folder' settings, but nothing I can think of to do will remove this file from the folder. It also does not actually show up in normal viewing, only if i do a search using special variables. It only shows up if I type, "*.jpg" into the search bar when I am viewing the directory. I can't however do anything with the file. I can't move it, I can't rename it, and while it shows a thumbnail image of the photo, when I click on it to open it, the picture viewer shows no photo-representation. I also can't replace it with another file with the same exact name. How do I permanently remove this one file? And how did it get to the point of being undeletable. File properties do not show that it is 'hidden' or 'read only'.

Aug 6, 2009I was cleaning up my screen and keyboard with windex, foolishly, with the computer on, when somehow in the course of working on the keyboard I managed to flip the viewing area on the screen 90 degrees so that what was the short dimension (up-down) is now the long dimension (left/right). Some combination if key press' will put it back to normal I guess. But looking hard at the icons on the keys... its not at all clear which ones.

Jun 9, 2009I recently purchased a new PC with Windows Vista (R) Home Premium + Windows Mail pre-installed. I set up Vista with two users, both on administrator status. Both users use the same common email address & ISP provider to send & receive emails. When either user connects to Windows Mail the new emails download into their user mailbox & the other user cannot view them. I wish to configure Windows Mail so emails will download into both users mailboxes at the same time, irrespective of which user is logged on. This is required so either user can view all the emails received & can reply to any of them.

View 4 Replies View RelatedPicture Viewing:computer Changing The Original Look Of Pictures
Jul 29, 2008I have saved about 3000 photos in my computer under a folder called photos. But since some weeks, my computer is changing the original look of my pictures to very ugly views. I meant sometimes when I open my photo folders, suddenly some pictures are getting discoloured automatically. Sometimes the pictures are cutting to two pieces automatically. If the picture's background is green, sometimes it is changing to red, yellow or some other colour. But after this happened, I cannot get them back to it's original view at all. I don't know what's happening here. Already I have lost lot of my important photos because of this, and I even haven't saved them somewhere else. I already have deleted them from my camera too. Since I bought this computer, I am getting lot of problems in this. I don't know if it is because of VISTA or any other Hardware problem on this computer.

Apr 1, 2008After fighting to get rid of a Trojan horse virus, I am missing the internet browser. E-mail works OK.

View 5 Replies View RelatedLag Is It Internet?
Oct 18, 2008I have seen a couple posting about lag and gaming and I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but here goes. The threads and posts I have seen so far deal with Vista and Wireless lag issues. I use a wired cable internet connection. I get this cyclical lag every 20-25 seconds or so. It happened when I had a DSL connection as well. It's either a setting or the net but I wouldn't expect the net to produce cyclical lag, just lag as it occurs. I'm on an AMD 6000+ 3.0 Ghz cpu with ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI, GbLAN mobo. I have 4 GB Kingston HyperX RAM and a 9800 GTX+ graphics card. I don't think its the hardware. the cabel connection I know have is 8 down 2 up guaranteed and actually gets from 12-16 down and 3.5 up so the speed and bandwidth are there. To give you an idea I will go from a FPS of 128 (nice and smooth gameplay) to a jaw dropping 5 or 6. Please help!!! Any ideas would be appreciated. The game is a peer to peer first shooter called Warrock. I know this means lag can be totally from the other poeple but I still don't thik it would be that cyclical.

View 9 Replies View RelatedInternet
Nov 20, 2008I'm having the weirdest problem with my internet at the moment. I typically use Internet Explorer and it runs fine and I can access websites etc. However after a given time period (maybe 30mins), it stops connecting me to webpages and just does this "forever loading" thing. I thought it may have been a software issue so I installed Google's Chrome but that does exactly the same thing.
I don't think its a problem with the router/modem because I still have the problem even if I restart that. Same if I repair my network connection. I've tried deactivating firewalls and antivirus software but to no avail. The only way I've managed to overcome the problem is if I restart my computer and obviously restarting my computer every 30mins is less than ideal.

View 6 Replies View RelatedPing But No Internet
Sep 23, 2009I was using my computer fine at first but decided to restart since I've had it on for 100 hours without a real shutdown (I was using hibernate). When I rebooted I was unable to access the internet using any programs such as IE, ff, msn, etc.. but I was still able to ping Google and get a <100ms response.
What happens when I open IE for example is that it simply says that it cannot connect to the internet. When I close it I get "Internet Explorer is not responding" twice in succession. I then get a warning telling me that it was blocked by DEP. So I disabled DEP and restarted but I still had the same problem just without the DEP warning.
This is very annoying because this is on my uni laptop and I need to use these programs almost daily in and out of class, so reinstalling is a last resort option. I'm currently running a previously installed version of Ubuntu on the same machine with no problems with the internet so I can eliminate any possibilities of it being a hardware problem.

Nov 11, 2009A freind of mine is having a few problems with her laptop..
She has a link in the start menu that says (internet explorer 64 bit)
This is what she clicks to go on the internet, Now when she visits or clicks on links, she will sometimes get a message that she needs to install flash player.
She already has the latest flash player installed, but apparently this does not work on this "internet explorer 64 bit"
I diden't even know there was a 64 bit internet explorer.
And it goes on to say something like flash player is for 32 bit browsers, for flash player to work on 64 bit browsers search online for help, or it directs you to microsoft help and support.
I don't really like to go messing around on someone elses laptop
so i thought i would just ask to see if there is one thing i could follow to fix this problem..
Internet Keeps Cutting Out
Oct 1, 2009just got a new computer HP pavilion p6142p and it is connected to the internet by an encore electronics 802.11g wireless usb adapter to a dynex router which is hardwired to a linksys modem. my new computer, of course, has vista HPx64 and this is the last thing that i've had to beat into shape.....gotten all the other junk that i hate about vista ironed out, but i am still having problems with the internet. ISP is comcast (ugh, i know) cable.
my husbands two macs are not affected by the internet trouble, so i know it's something on my end. though, his computers are hardwired into the router. mine will just disconnect whenever it feels like it. i did notice that the microwave was shutting it off, so i changed the channel on the router to 6. it seems to help a bit, but just now while typing this, it's gone a couple of times... no microwaves or anything then. my neighborhood is under some heavy road construction now and i was wondering if anything they might be using could affect my adapter getting its signal.
Cannot Download From The Internet
Mar 8, 2010I have read many persons posts, but none have been quite the same as mine. With many tips, but no further explanations for the questions I have. I have a DELL Ispiron with Vista Home Basic 32bit and I use Internet Explorer. I am able to download absolutely nothing from the internet. I have a feeling it has something to do with the incorrect installation of AVG. A week ago, I wanted to try a different sercurity program, while keeping AVG. I downloaded Online Armour from cnet.com and after a couple of days uninstalled because I didnt like it. I figured I would just update AVG 8 to AVG 9, so I went to AVG Free - Download installation files & documentation, I think I should have downloaded the recommended installation, but instead I selected "intallation files" and selected one of those options. Now it list in my program files AVG 8 and AVG 9. In my programs, selected Windows Start>Programs, it list AVG 8.5. Now I read somewhere, a person with practically the same problem, that I could uninstall and then reinstall AVG and the problem could possibly be fixed. Also if problem persisted to try uninstalling AVG while in Safe Mode. I could do neither. Under program files AVG 8, selected Windows Start>Computer>Hard drive(C)>Program Files>AVG>AVG 8>setup, has a setup option. But when selected reads, setup window:Installation failed. Then selected Details reads, setup window:Installer initialization failed due to following error: Error: @AvgErrorCode_0x0253 %FILE% = "C:Program FilesAVGAVG8" @AvgErrorCode_0x0020
Under program files AVG 9, selected Windows Start>Computer>Hard drive(C)>Program Files>AVG>AVG 9, has no setup option, I assume I did not install the correct file, my mistake. Under my programs, selected Windows Start>All Programs>AVG Free 8.5>Unistall AVG Free, it list AVG 8.5 and when I try to uninstall the the same error occurs. I dont know if this is the reasoning for my issue but this is when the problem started. However I would still like to know how to remove AVG as well as the initial "fix." If this possible, should I delete the AVG program files one by one, just by right clicking on them and deleting? I also tried to run a System Restore thinking it would go back to a previous date before I changed anything, but the earliest date I could choose from was not soon enough. It did nothing except remove some updates and a toolbar that had been installed. Also, I am unable to install updates, I assume its because they use the internet to do so, idk.
How To Add To Internet Favorites With UAC On?
Feb 6, 2009I have a Vista64 Ultimate system. A few weeks after the initial build, I determined that the hard disk was bad as it would hang until it had run and warmed up for quite a while. Purchased a new hard disk and reinstalled windows. As part of the "new" install, I used an 8Gig USB drive to transfer personal files (including Favorites) from the old system/hard disk to the new one. Process was to boot up windows on the old hard disk, transfer files to the USB drive, boot up windows on the new hard disk and transfer the files from the USB drive to the new C: drive.
The new hard disk/system is working fine except I cannot add new bookmarks/favorites to favorite folders I transferred when surfing the net.
With UAC ON, I get the following error: Unable to Create "internet site" Unspecified Error
when trying to save or paste a new internet site/url to folders I transferred from the old hard disk. Files CAN be saved directly to the Favorites directory. With UAC OFF, all favorite saves work as expected. I have tried "taking ownership" of each and every folder in the Favorites directory, but the problem remains. I would really like to use UAC for what its worth, but the problem of not being able to save URLs without turning UAC off and rebooting makes it REALLY hard.
