    cannot forward email with attachments

    You have another user id on the computer in addition to the current user. Go to File > Mobile > Locations > Office network and clear out the other user from the options under the tabs, replacing it with the current user...

    Shutting down instead of rebooting for a simple log off

    XP? 98? Win2000? If it's XP, then get all the updates. If it still happens then your BIOS might be too old and incompatible. More info on your PC and OS needed.

    Internet access on LAN exclusively but not DSL or cable

    If its XP you might need to create a new connection with the wizard in network connections(?) I'm guessing. Need more info. Some DSL connections need a user name & password to connect and some are "always on", allowing you to surf when you plug the RJ45 in...

    Outlook 2003 sent email not formatting HTML correctly

    fixed it! If you have this problem - If your own address is in contacts, open it up and dbl-click the email address. On "internet format", select "Let outlook decide..". My own email address was set (mysteriously) to "send plain text only", which means it converted all my sent emails to plain...

    Multiple sends if attachment is over 1 mb?

    There is a size limit on the attachment. Hotmail restricts attachments to 1MB for e.g. Anything over that gets the mmultiple resend with error. Change to a yahoo account or talk with your ISP.

    Outlook 2003 sent email not formatting HTML correctly

    Outlook 2003 has 3 email sending formats; plain text, RTF (which I avoid), and HTML. They used to work fine, but now when I send HTML formatted emails with links or copy/pasted material from a webpage, no-one (including myself when I tested it) is receiving the mail in a properly formatted...

    Scheduled Tasks - Clean Defrag in XP

    Prev. bugs that prevented a clean defrag for my PC: 1. Uncleared, invalid registry references from changes in folder locations/ incomplete uninstalls/machine name change, etc. Free and great prog below: http://www.vtoy.fi/jv16/programs/RegCleaner.exe 2. Real Media product installations. (The...

    Need Original XP pro CD in drive to boot

    Me thinking about how XP needs that 8MB dead-space on the active disk (why?) or it will crash. Seems it might be being bypassed by the CD boot action in some install patch reference link that's persisted in the administrator's own user temp folder made during installation? Clean out...

    Installed program not even seen by Admin account

    Mebbe.... An association, thread, or program corruption in your registry is causing it to be hidden. If there is another program installed that has exhibited minor "flaky" behaviour in operation, (my own, poor experience) is that subsequent programs and operations can be overshadowed...

    Cannot open Install.log

    This is another foulup in lang.organising from MS about "long" file names and 8.3 names. You've probably recently taken the tip to disable 8,3 in the registry and this is one side effect. It needs fixing or instability sets in where your user temp folder (already looking like...

    virus info - please

    Even if you fixed/reinstalled/ restore imaged, check for 1 of the following since your network may have been hacked to operate UNDER the privileges of a remote domain. It can be caused by holes in WMPlayer/ other M$ junk and clues include: you may notice frequent failure of your sound devices...

    An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket

    It MAY be the FIFO settings on your COM1 and COM2 that its recognising but you probably have nothing attached to them like 90% of people even though your BIOS has assigned an IRQ to them. If so, its probably not a problem but its a hacking vulnerability and small memory waster. As well as system...

    Windows XP Pro with Norton AV 2002 saves slow on mapped network drives

    I refer to my just-made post. thread779-411972 I dont work for McAfee. Nortons has blown my/clients' XP machines consistently. Innovator Peter Norton's influence with recent Norton seems to end with the box cover..

    one winXP machine on our network acting strange.

    Slap in the CD, select the update install and end your worries in 47 minutes.. Just clear out the "My Documents" first. Or lose it. If you want to soldier on for another hour then right click network settings. List propeties and make sure that obscure check boxes are on/off the same as...

    Strange things in XP

    You said it all with the "N" word... Norton was once great, but now it gradually destroys every XP i installed it on. Eventually file cross-linked allocation will become unrecoverable and formast inevitable. I could only guess it's too aggressive in "cleaning" and is damaging...

    ANOTHER XP NETWORK QUESTION

    Check the ORDER that each machine accesses the LAN/Internet Provider's web server. They may be already connected to the provider in a seperate order to the order you add on the LAN

    Constant rebooting

    Turn off UPNP in services (universal plug 'n play). THat should stop auto-reboot. UPNP is a hacking vulnerability and should be turned off anyway.. XP also automatically discovers FIFO settings on the com ports that allows hacking exploits on the machine so turn the serial ports off in BIOS. It...

    need to recover 'file fragments' !!!

    'Found0000.chk' files are pretty useless outputs from chdsk utility. There is one program that I can nearly always recover files that had formats done - Easy Recovery Pro 6. I use the windows program to make a boot recovery floppy that has GUI/mouse interface and reads NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, RAW...

    HDD Failures when operating system is XP Pro

    xp inserts 7.3mb raw (07hntfs..?) pre-partitions to monitor your hardware compliance and trigger the kill switched if fiddling gets too close for proprietory feelings.. Means that PQmagic and other partition software is incompatible but not straight away... how nice.. slow HDD failure onset...
