...off this attribute on all the files before importing them back in. If you are worried about the size of your folders just look at the sizes of the *.dbx files - you will quickly see if there are any huge files present (one of my customers children was trying to send a 68MB file attachment...

Have you tried putting on a firewall such as the free Zonealarm (I know you already have NAT in your router). It will pick up any other programs that are using your internet connection which may give you a clue. Also install, UPDATE, and run Adaware to clear off any spyware. Also your antivirus...

You need to see if your motherboard is still detecting your hard drive (it should be set to auto in the BIOS). If it doesnt show up when the motherboard is detecting the drives, then the drive is probably dead (as you say that it had been working previously) unless the settings or cabling were...

The error message you are getting can be caused by certain viruses (eg "MacGyver" see Symantec or Mcaffee for more info). Other than that it points to a hardware issue and the motherboard and RAM chips would be the prime suspects, both can cause intermittant lock-ups. Try swapping in a...

Sounds like something running in the background that shouldnt be. Usual suspects are 1. viruses (update and scan), 2. spyware such as Save /Savenow that comes with mp3 downloaders (download Adaware or Spybot, update, and scan), or 3.some utility that is doing more harm than good (remove any...

I think this happens when you have birthday etc.. prior to 1970 entered in your reminders. It cant deal with the date so it makes them all to Jan 1 1970. Peter G

I am trying to help someone who has a Sony digital camera and a Sony Clie handheld (Palm OS). The memory card can be moved between the two. The problem is that the "photo viewing" software on the Clie can only view the root directory of the memory card, whereas the camera stores the...

I had this issue once and it turned out that there were two network cards installed, one in the laptop and one in the docking station. All worked well when docked, however when brought back to the dock it no longer worked as it was trying to use the wrong card. By using it off the dock the...

I have used Ricoh and Sony burners but gave up on the Ricohs after a small number of problems. Never a problem with Sony's. And if their past record is anything to judge by I have never pulled out a dead drive (even CD-ROM) made by Sony. You get what you pay for in my books - pay a little extra...

Make sur that you are using the same or newer version of OE than what you are importing. OE5 wont touch OE6 files, but is OK the other way around. Make sure that "read only" is off for the files, and select the whole folder not individual files. Sometimes selecting two folders above...

According to MS the way to reduce its size is to archive old data. See the help in Outlook for instructions. Also make sure that you have journalling turned off as this keeps a record of every single operation in any Office application and can cause huge bloat. I dont know if this method would...

Any antivirus package will only do a good job if you keep it uptodate with the virus signature updates, AND then if you run regular scans. If you notice that your antivirus program is no longer running in the background or shutting off after a few minutes then you have a problem. No antivirus...

If you can dial up through the normal modem it implies that all the Winsock / TCP/IP is working OK, and that it is specific to the ADSL. Is the DSL modem connected using a network card or a USB port?. If it is through a network card try removing it in the control panel -> system -> device...

Hi Arkadas, I re-read your post and I dont think we have found the right answer yet. When you are formatting the hard drive in the Compaq try the format /s command to copy the system boot files after the format, or copy sys.com onto your boot floppy and sys C: the hard drive after the format...

Dual CPU would seem to suit your app - running NT or better with a lot of CPU activity required. I dont know of any concrete tests though. Peter G

You have covered most of the easy options. I would say that RAM is the most likely possibility left, especially given the random nature of the reboots and errors. Borrow some or buy the smallest quatity you can to check, then add more if thats the fault. The registry error can come from faulty...

This thread has been very educational - I have been coming back for a peek every so often and have improved my understanding greatly. Can I suggest that an FAQ going through all possible scenarios and avenues of repair be posted. I will start it here. If the Linux users could add more extensive...
