Vital Emails Lost After Reinstall Of XP
Apr 12, 2008
I was forced to re-install XP Home Edition yesterday due to a corrupt file that prevented boot up or a system restore from being run. Although I have been able to access a lot of my data, it seems that my emails have been lost. This is a really big deal as I'd used my mail as a filing system for various contacts and data etc. It's vital that I get it back. Does anyone know if the mails may be stored in an obscure folder somewhere at all? I should also mention that I do have a mirrored drive (which I removed during the reinstall to ensure that it wouldn't be effected in any way) but I have been unable to find the mails on here either.

I had a complete computer failure & got a new one. Qwest-MSN helped w/ reloading all my preveous emails. Then I began having error messages that "OE has encountered unknown problems & has to shut down" or it would just freeze up for no reason. Emails were coming in in duplicats. (2 of every email in the inbox) (*This problem is still happening)
They had me delete my account & start over several times. Then they forwarded me all my emails they had on their system. OVER 1,000 BEGAN COMING IN! NONE TO THE INBOX! (hidden file) We put a stop to it and began searching where these were being hidden. Since getting the new computer I have not been able to get Spell Check in my OE 6.0 I am told 6.0 does not have this. I had it before changing computers and I used 6.0 then also.

I have been experience this for a long time now. When i switch my computer on it loads up my screansaver but not the toolbar. It doesn't do it at its own time because i left it on for 24 hours to see if it was running slow, but it just didn't load up. I have to run bit torrent through task manager and right click a program i downloaded, then click open containing folder to load the toolbar up. Any ideas on how to fix this, so it will boot up with the pc?of all, i can't run any programs with my pc. It loads the egg timer but then stops and doesn't load up. Has done this for a while also. I can't access any of my control panels either

I am getting a lot of e-mails with attachments that require an "Open with" window. Trouble is, I don't know what to choose and even doubt that I have the correct program to open it.

I use Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP3 with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP3.
It has been my experience that, out of the dozen or so Junk e-mails that I receive every day in my Outlook Inbox on my computer, there are usually one or two that are actually not Junk at all, and those I have to identify as "Add Sender to Safe Sender's List" and re-route to my Inbox. It is for this reason that it is very important that all my e-mails are downloaded from the server to my computer - including the ones identified by the software as "Junk" - because the software obviously is not perfect.
A few weeks ago I noticed that I was not receiving my usual quantity of about a dozen Junk e-mails per day. I did not think too much about it at the time, because, although some days I did not receive any Junk e-mails at all, other days I might receive one or even two

My father has an HP SP2 computer. He is 76 now and can not figure alot of things out now. He asked me last night how to save pictures in emails. I told him to right click and save as whatever he wanted to call it. Well when he goes to My Pictures, there it is but there is nothing underneath it describing what it is. He has to put his cursor over it in order to find out what it is. Mine is not like that at all. It has the file name underneath it. What am I telling him to do wrong?

I have AVG and now I cannot receive emails unless I do a hard reboot of the computer. I can get the initial emails, but once the AVG runs the email scan, it times out and says cannot find the server.I have to hard reboot again in order to receive the emails. I have tried everything my limited skills allow me.This is frustrating.I am running Outlook Express for my emails, through Comcast.

I realise that this might not be the right group to be posting here but I am
aware from past experience that this is where the most expertise in the
widest field is. I have posted into the outlook group with no success so
please help if you have any ideas.I have Windows XP with Outlook 2003.
I have backed up my massive amount of emails (400MB) using Outlook Backup
from Osirius This produces a .ebk file. Having used this program for smaller
amounts of emails with no problems before I then placed the backup onto a disc and formatted thedrive. After loading XP and Outlook back on I then tried to restore my
backup using the same program. But it runs through the restore procedure
without any problems and when I open Outlook up again most of the emails are
not there.

When I shut down my computer it installed a new version of Outlook Express and it no longer had my contacts or emails. I couldn't figure it out so I set back my computer to an earlier date and it was back to normal.Shut down my computer again and I have the new version of Outlook again with no address or emails. Any thoughts on what is going on and how I can get this fixed?

how i can prevent the little cutsies' of animations that are embedded in some emails i receive from 'moving i would assume they just add 'download' time from my server into O.E. i know how to get to 'advanced' tab within I.E. but don't know 'what' to check or uncheck or if this is even an Explorer situation or O.E. setting. i tried but couldn't make any headway. i hate to ask the sender not to include them but i don't want to hurt feelings either but that's a whole other 'advice' column.

Why do I have a big break in dates of emails listed or displayed. I go from July 13th to the next being June 11th. Is there anyway I can display all posted emails from this date back to say the last 300 emails posted sequentially? I tried unsubscribing and then resubscribing, but still have the same problem.

I have attempted to post two threads to you today. I wonder how much chance this one has of getting through? My problem is that emails have been disappearing at an alarming rate over the last two days. I spent over an hour writing to make a very serious complaint to a major company, saved it to draft and minutes later it had disappeared. Only the heading was left as a draft email.

My Help and Support stopped working about the same time I installed the free utility GhostScript / Gsview so that I could view postscript files. I tried posting a question on another usenet newsgroup, but the answer of: click on install on the C:windowsinfpchealth.inf file - resulted in a search for the file dataspec.xml in the C:windowsinfi386 directory - Unfortunately, such directory does not exist on my C: drive. Furthermore, the "K:I386" directory of my Original Win XP Home CD does not contain any file named "dataspec.xm_ or .xml".And beyond that, I ordered a new Win XP SP2 CD, which just now arrived by mail - and there is no "K:I386" directory on that CD, nor does the CD apparently contain any file called "dataspec" (including dataspec.*).Another effort toward resolution occurred via another usenet post I read, which suggested opening the XP command line feature and executing a system status command, that displayed enabled services - I used that method, and switched the Help and Support service off and then on again. Such action did not in-fact enable the Help feature (including, of course restart), despite the indication that the Help and Support service was enabled. I am, and have been, running a purchased-CD version of Win XP Home, with a downloaded SP2 revision (I have not installed the new Win XP SP2 CD). Basically, I want to find out the means and methods for enabling my Win XP SP2 Help and Support feature, that apparently has been disabled or otherwise rendered inoperative.Is a reinstall of Win XP possible and the best choice? What are the other options?

I've been having some internet connectivity problems lately, and I believe it's due to some nasty spyware. I've already gone through all the steps to correct this (checking my DSL speed, anti-spyware scans, anti-virus scans, doing it all in safe mode, even reset my winsock.dll, etc.) but I'm still having problems with slow browsers. So now I think I'm faced with reinstalling Windows XP. My question is, should I do a format & reinstall, or is it better to reinstall Windows over my existing version? I have a Compaq Presario, and it comes with a Recovery CD.

I recently manually moved my email files to a different folder. When I opened Outlook Express all of my emails were GONE. I then moved them back and it did not bring them back. The files are in my documents, I have tried to import them back into Outlook Express and it does not work, it only goes back to 2 months ago. I need to know how to recover my emails back into Outlook Express.

excuse my ignorance but is Outlook Express part of:
a) the operating system (in this case windows xp)
b) microsoft office
c) something else
I'm trying to set up a new computer for a charity, just one problem they did not back up their email addresses and emails on outlook express from their last machine (which failed) so what do we do to restore everything? just wondered if anyone knew WHERE on the hard drive does outlook express store its emails and email addresses?

He goes into his INBOX and reads his emails. He does not delete the emails he has read and then he signs off. When he goes back into OE the read emails are now in his DELETED folder. I have checked the settings and cannot seem to find anything that he may have selected in error and cannot stop this from happening?

I have recently upgraded to Windows XP, am running Explorer 6, and my email goes thru Outlook Express. Since my upgrade, whenever I send an email to multiple recipients, each recipient gets multiple emails to the numer I sent out. e.g. If I send an email to 10 people in the "to" box, each person gets 10 identical emails.

I use Outlook Express for emails, and since switching on today, I`ve been receiving the same email over and over again.I believe that this soundsl like I have a virus, and I`ve tried to run a virus-scan, but after 3 or 4 minutes, the virus-scan programme is shutting down as well. ( I use "Blueyonder PC Guard" for my virus scanner)Do you think that it`s a virus, or could it be something else ?
