When I shut my computer down and restart I get errors in outlook express. The pop3 account changes itself to a number starting with 12. When I change it back to pop3.woosh(9etc) it all works normally. But next time I start up its back to the weird number.
View 2 Replieshere's one that has me stumped. My right click option on one particular thing doesn't work. That particular thing being when I choose All Programs and then try to access a program by right clicking on it nothing happens. How I found this was I was going to "Sort by name" and get the programs in alphabetical order but I can't. In every other aspect the right click option works fine.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have XP SP3, and have recently discovered that when Restarting the system, after logging on, Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird automatically run. There are no shortcuts for them in the Start Up Folder, and they do not start automatically after a complete shut down/fresh start -- only after a restart. After they're up and running, everything works normal.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have multiple partitions on my HD so that I can have things like the OS and the page file on separate partitions for ease of defrag etc. (OK, haven't done this before and am not sure how smart it was after all)Anyway, I decided to move "My Documents" folder from the C drive to a much larger partition to save fragmentation on C. No big deal, it's easy to do.But here's the kicker... once I'd created a My Documents folder in the larger partition, I decided to click on it and move it to the top of the list of folders, using the My Computer screen.

I have decided to go with Windows Live Mail, so do not need Outlook Express any more. Question: Can Outlook Express be uninstalled or do I just leave it where it is in All Programs. I know it is interrogated software with Windows XPSP2, so I guess I just leave it be. I had a glitch in the signature area of Outlook Express and when I installed Windows Live Mail, the glitch came over with the importing of everything from Outlook Express....darn it. To describe the glitch.....when I go to attach a signature saved in Windows Live Mail a message appears on the desktop saying WLM has to close as there is a problem with the software. The main reason I decided to install Windows Live Mail was to rid myself of this particular glitch in Outlook Express, but unfortunately the glitch was imported along with all the messages, folders, signatures and options chosen from Outlook Express.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOutlook Express 6.0 is acting weird. If I minimize it to surf the net, the buttons are bigger when I go back to it. Then, if I minimize it again and come back to it, they are even larger. It does this whether I have it set to large or small icons. The buttons grow so large that only a couple can even be displayed on the page. I have Windows XP Media Edition, all th latest updates
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to change from my regular email which is still Juno to a free account that I can use with outlook.
It seems with hotmail and yahoo you have to have the pay accounts to have Outlook be able to use them.
Does anybody know of any free email sites that would work and maybe some info on the differnce between Outlook Express and Office Outlook.
Is there a way to automate email account setup (Outlook) for Windows XP from workstations? We have users that need access to email at different locations. Currently the first time they logon to a machine we just go there and setup an email account, but it would be really helpful if the account would set itself up tied to the user's logon ID.

However if I just open the browser explorer and enter that HTTP address I can connect with no trouble at all to her logon page.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there any way of recovering OE 6 mail account info from a crashed hard disk?
I have already managed to recover emails and address book using recovery software but not sure where to look for account info.
I set up a new email account, and checked "Remember Password", but it doesn't remember.
I found a Microsoft article telling me that if my outlook 2000 installation is internet mail only (which apparently it is), I will need to change the registry value for "SMTP Prompt for Password" to 1. This didn't help.

Am helping a friend get her Outlook Express working (pop3 server error), and wanted to go into msconfig to disable all items at startup in order to make sure no firewalls or anti-virus were causing problems. When she typed msconfig in the Run box, she keeps getting a 'word is misspelled try again' error message. Have you ever had this happen? As far as I know there is no other way to open the msconfig utility.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have encountered an odd problem in Win XP Pro SP2. When I open 'Control Panel'- 'Add or Remove Programmes', there is a massive gap in the programme list. I have attached a pdf showing the screen at the start & end of this gap, if you look at the scroll bar it will give you some idea of the size of it. It takes about 30 'page down' keystrokes to get from the start to end of the gap. All of my programmes appear to be listed ok & this is not actually causing me any difficulties but I am curious to find out what is causing it
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a 2 year old pc that i bought with windows xp media center edition 2005 pre-installed and activated. only a week ago, it started asking me to activate windows before i could log in every time i restarted my computer. i would click ok and then it would ask me to activate. i would activate over internet and when it did, it say i have an incorrect product key. i don't know why this happens because the computer was pre-activated and i didn't do anything to my computer when it started happening except played some games. something even more wierd is that 1 in 5 times it boots up perfectly normal without asking me to activate. it is really annoying to have to try restarting my pc until it randomly lets me log in.

Have a Dell Trinitron, with windows xp. Some time ago, after an anti-virus program ran, I could no longer access several icons such as Internet Explorer, Opera, CC cleaner and others. When I click these icons, the message given is "The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." Could someone please tell me how to do this?Also, when I restart the computer, a message comes up saying "Windows cannot find file "1"." I think the anti-virus program removed some virus, and a line or two of programming.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSometimes when the computer has been running for a while, and especially when I am running a program which switches the screen resolution (so it would seem), the screen will suddenly go blank. Not just black blank either - the colour varies from a sludgy green to a sludgy red, but I've also seen white and black variations of the problem. I've also noticed that just before the login screen appears when I boot into XP, the screen goes to the sludgy red colour for about a second before it seems to recover. The computer does not freeze or become unresponsive - I can still shut down or restart manually using keyboard hotkeys - I just can't see anything other than a single screen of colour.

I didn't realize the extent of the damage until I booted into safe mode to defrag my external USB harddrive today. With no visual style, this is what everything looks like (glitches circled in red):a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/peesticks/1604072412/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2357/1604072412_6e64f354ec_o.jpg" width="800" height="600" alt="messedup" /></a>I am running XP Pro SP2 with all my updates.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows XP Home SP2 in a Gateway Performer 1300 P4 I recently purchased a used computer locally from a private party. It seemed to work fine. Once I got it home, however, I discovered that when I tried to install the drivers for my wireless adapter, the InstallShield Wizard would come up and extract the files from the CD and then go away and nothing would happen. When I went to the Windows update site, it would not down load the activeX control to check my computer for needed updates. It did the same thing. It would show that it downloaded the file and then nothing would happen. I talked to a local computer shop and they said they have had a lot of trouble with "broken" Windows Installers lately. So I went to the Microsoft site and downloaded the updated Windows Installer (as they suggested) and this did not change anything.
