Email Program Slow
Feb 18, 2006I posted the following awhile ago, and got some good results for the problem I was having drilling down through directories.I have an Emachine with a 330 Celeron D, 1gb ddr sdram (installed thinking it would help), 80gb hard drive, NAV, Spysweeper, XP Home edition. I am using Outlook 2003.I still have the problem of my email program being really slow. Not server access, but the program, and I think really the computer itself.It seems like it is always thinking, catching up. When in my inbox (or any folder) and I am moving from one email to the next, initially I might be able to move, but then it freezes for about 10 - 25 seconds until I can move again. It might allow me to move for awhile, but it will happen again. I waste so much time in a day waiting while moving through emails.I don't really see this behavior in other areas of the computer. Any ideas?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow To Setting Default Email Program
May 10, 2005I have a problem with setting OE6 as my default email program in IE after I installed Office 97. Since I really wanted to use OE6, I uninstalled Outlook. Now my OE6 works okay with my dial-up internet access. No problems with sending and receiving emails, but I cannot set it to be the default email handler using the Tool->Options popup window. And I also found that in IE, Tools-> Internet Options popup -> Programs tab, there is no choices for the Email field. This problem has caused me to be unable to click on email addresses of people on the webpages and other problems with 3rd party softwares.

Outlook Express Email - Not Receive Email
Aug 27, 2005I just got a new computer with WinXPHome. All works OK except I can not receive my email into OE 6, all email stays with AT&T's Webmail, which I do not want to use. My old Win98 computer has no problems with getting my email. The settings on both computers are the same. I have disabled NAV email scanning. I have no idea what to do. I like OE, and want to continue using it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAdded Second HD, Now Pc Won't See CD ROM
Feb 4, 2006I replaced my original HD with a new, bigger one, installed Windows XP - everything was ok until then. Then, when I verified that everything worked fine I installed the old HD again, this time as a slave.I needed to retrieve some files from it and then I was going to format it and use it as a storage.In the process of installing it,I had to remove the floppy drive,because there was not enough space inside.It wasn't working anyway and I haven't used it in months. Everythings seemed to go fine, the pc saw the second HD, I was able to copy files from it,but when I wanted to install some software on the new HD I realized that Windows Explorer couldn't see any of my 2 CD-ROMs.It's as if they are not hooked up to my computer.
The funniest thing is if I go to device manager, it doesn't show the CD drives, but shows floppy drive and says it is working properly! And it's not even there! Just realized that Explorer also shows floppy A in My Computer.How is it possible? And what happened to my CD drives?At first I thought I accidentaly disconnected the wires when I was hooking up the second HD, but they work mechanically, ie. the light blinks when I start the computer,

Sep 19, 2009I received more memory after researching what my computer needed. I have an old MSI motherboard with 512mb and 2 empty slots so we bought 1 more 512 and installed it. In My Computer under properties it shows now as pentium 4 cpu 1.60ghz 1.60ghz, 1gb RAM.
When looking at used and free space it still shows used space as: 16.6gb free space:20.5 gb and capacity:37.2gb. Which was the same with just having the 512mb of RAM
Reinstall Has Added Users
Jun 1, 2010I had problems with my anti virus that the help desk said required a Windows repair. I did this but now all my setting etc have disappeared.
What I can see is that when I look at 'Documents and settings' there are extra users directories.
These are:
All Users
All Users.Windows
Defaults Users
Default Users.Windows
I now have 3 Network Services NT
I also have two directories of me.
I can delete them using explorer.

Added Memory Not Reconized By System
Mar 10, 2007I added 1GB to an existing 1Gb of RAM but it is not being reconized by the computer.I have 3 slots and the 512MB chips are closest to the CPU.The Everest utility only shows 1GB of RAM,plug'n'play is enabled if that makes a difference. It feels and looks like the chip is well seated.The chips is by the same company (PNY) and it is a PC2700 DDR just like the existing 512s.

I want to add these to my existing setup, where i will keep the 2 hard drives, the 2 dvd drives, floppy, and sound card. ONe of the Hard Drives has WinXp on it. Will there be any problems by doing this? Will the OS be ok with recognizing the new hardware? Will Windows complain about authentication?

Sep 8, 2006I've had this Compaq since 2004. I've added a gig of RAM, a 250gb SATA HDD, and a 6600GT card.
Anyway, I want to do a clean install of XP, which I've never done. I've cleared a bunch of space on my 250gb HD and transfered all the files im going to keep from C: to the 250gb.
So my question is what will happen to my 250gb drive? Do I have to disconnect it? Will XP recognize it after the clean install? What about the extra RAM and 6600gt?
Added Sp3 - Very Slow To Open An Application
Nov 1, 2009I recently reloaded windows xp from scratch in a 2004 dell inspiron laptop using Dell cd's. It was working fine with sp2, but later I added sp3 and now computer takes about 5 minutes to open an application (anything from MSOffice apps to web browsers to anything else. After it finally comes up, it works slow but doable.
I would like to know what are the things I should be looking at that could be slowing the process so much. Is sp3 related? I'd rater not remove sp3 since all the applications were loaded after sp3 was installed
Re-install XP Have To Remove Added Hardware 1ST?
Nov 18, 2005My operating system is totally screwed. Tried everything to fix. I am going to re-install - wiping out all old data - fresh start. I've backed up all files and programs I don't want to lose to DVD. It's been so long since I've done this. On win 98, I used FORMAT C:, but I see XP gives you the option to install over existing(defective) system, while removing it. I'm pretty sure I need to remove all added hardware and replace with original before re-install (Video card, dvd burner, Ethernet card). Then after re-install is complete - re-install each new piece 1 by one - Is that correct ?

Sep 29, 2006I added a new 250 gig ATA Seagate drive to my son's EMachine 2882. I added it as a Slave drive (setting jumper to slave and placing on the end of the parallel cable) to use for backing up purposes.Everything is fine, I think. Went into Disk Management and attempted to partition the un allocated new disk. For some strange reason, everytime I try to partition the disk it appears to be (not sure) but it appears to be creating 8 megabyte partitions? Do I have some setting in the BIOS that needs tweaking? I am not a total idiot, but I am beginning to wonder! Can anyone please get me on the right track here? XP does recognize the Seagate drive but something is screwy with the formatting process.

Oct 22, 2005I've just bought an MP3 player and I've installed the software that is packaged with it. The program searched my HDD for all types of audio files and added them to my Library. What happened next was a complete blunder on my part: what I did was go through each file in my Library and delete those that I didn't want and keep those I did. I didn't pay any attention to what I was deleting, and I believe what I did has to do with a disk problem I'm havin'. I don't think my computer recognizes my D drive anymore (excuse me, please, I don't know much-- I mean the drive that plays DVDs/CDs). When I view My Computer, the D drive isn't displayed. Another example: when I'm in WMP and tryin' to copy tracks from a CD onto my HDD, there isn't a D drive listed to upload from.

Jul 30, 2005When I bought my new pc with XP SP2 I added a second hard drive(FAT 32) that I'd already used for a while in my old pc, and that contains all my data, photo's, music etc. Everything worked fine, but over the past month something strange is happening. From one moment to the other Windows loses sight of that second drive. Sometimes restarting (in every possible way) helps, sometimes not. Sometimes the drive disappears when I'm saving omething to it, sometimes I can save.
View 2 Replies View RelatedRestart - Added Vedio Card With New Drivers
May 22, 2007For several months I have had a problem with windows xp restarting - a stop error - caused by- according to Microsoft (when I report the error) - a device driver. the only device with new drivers that I have added is the video card. The problem has recently gotten worse - the computer now either restarts or freezes after 20 - 25 minutes (it even did this when I was operating in Safe mode). HP tech support suggested that I remove the video card and see what happens - result was the same. I suspect some type of hardware problem. Hp support receommends I do a system restore and that if the computer shuts down during the process I will know it's not the operating system

Feb 19, 2006Per "My Computer", the drives are: C:= 200 gig, File: system NTSF. D:= 8.5gig (A partition on the C Drive, it contains HP_Recovery), File: system FAT32. E:= LightScribe DVD/CD Burner/Player, F:= My "Back-up" HD, 160 gig, Seagate Ultra ATA/100, File: system NTSF. G, H, I & J are available for future use.
I backed up all my files etc. from my old PC (Windows Me upgraded to XP) onto the 160 gig HD. The "Back-up" HD was the slave in my old PC. It contains Files etc. there is no Operating System on it.
After installing the "Back-up" HD in the new PC I get an "Error loading OS" message when I boot-up. If I turn off the PC, wait 60 seconds and then turn it on it loads OK and yes I can access the 2nd HD, copy files and paste them into the new 200 gig HD etc.
Computer Slowing Up - Added A 512mb Stick
Mar 5, 2007I added a 512mb stick and 500gb hard drive to an AMD 1.7mhz system that was running fine but just out of disk space (figured as long as the chassis was open to throw in the ram too). Now I can barely use the darn thing. Runs extremely slow. Audio and video and useless, responses are crazy - even the mouse is herky-jerky. Went into taskmanager and there is one program that seems to be using a lot of processor time but I alway have that one running even in the 'old' configuration. I can kill it and it helps a little bit but why should more resources make things worse. I have AVG running for virus checking and regularly run adaware and spybot for malware checking. Checked system settings and everything looks fine there as well - cache, VM, performance, etc. all set to normal levels (768mb by the way).

Aug 15, 2005I seem to have bad luck with multiple partitions on one drive. I have a 160 gb hdd that was partitoned with one approx 137gb partition with windows xp. It was working fine. I decided to partition the remaining space which was something like 25gb. I did it from windows xp in the disk managment snap-in. It worked fine until I formatted the new 25gb partition and assigned the page file to this drive. I had not rebooted before formatting the new drive and I believe the format is what screwed up the drive. I have tried to chkdsk /r but it took forever and then crashed. I believe windows improperly sized the partition over part of the original C partition. I really hate logical drives. I always seem to have some sort of data loss with them..
View 13 Replies View RelatedItem Added To My Startup List - Delete Or Leave?
Oct 1, 2008Im running XP, SP2, IE6.0-I like to keep my startup items down to a bare minimum, and this morning when checking on them in Spybot I noticed a new WinLogon had been added at the bottom (called "Schedule", file name "Schedule.exe"). Its the only one of that winlogon group that Spybot identifies, and what they say is it's by user preference. The official name is, Mercury EZ View TV Tuner Card--1, we do not have a tv to be used with this, 2., we never did. 3, my husband said he never installed this (much less heard of it) and 4, when I try to disable it, citing user preference, it won't go away. I know it's not spam or adware, but when something as apparently innocuous as this appears and will not disappear (no its not listed in the Add/Remove Programs) or at least allow itself to be disabled, I have to wonder why. It also does not show up in the HiJack list log, or as Badware in Spybot. Should I hunt this down and shoot it dead, or should I just ignore it?
