Re: Experts I Need Your Help

I helped to beta test Vista and it is a good operating system but I am going
to wait for a while until Microsoft is able to iron out compatiblity issues
with software drivers interacting with hardware properly. In addition, my
main interest in my system is backwards compatibility to the DOS era and the
secondly the ability to run modern programs on one system. <grin>

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Good call, Chris. It still surprises me about the stupidy and misinformation
that people do not know the 9x source code is safer at the core while the NT
(New Technology) source code has more external security. This should be
general knowledge but it is not.

It's a pity, Dan, BUT... When opening an E-Mail from an unknown sender especially, yea, it's best to...

"OE, Tools menu, Options, Read tab", & check "Read all messages in plain text"

...., if not already done. I think what happens then (if HTML was used) is the E-Mail will open with an attachment containing the HTML part.

Also, I guess, at the Send tab, UNcheck...
"Reply to messages in the format in which they were sent".

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Hi PCR,
I had done all my email addresses in text a little while back. All of
them except 2 will let you go back the original message. I have those set up
using text. With these email accounts, if you delete an email in them it
opens the next one. If you check them without opening them to delete it,
sometimes you get pop ups. So far, I have not figured out how to get them to
go back to the original message. I do not use these too often, only to check
if someone I know sends an email to it. Any ideas? I only have 1 computer. I
wish I had 2. That's life!!

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Hi Dan,
I still have stuff in my registry from McAfee. 2 folders I know of. There
may be more junk in the Registry from them, maybe shared files. I left them
alone. I do not want to mess around the registry too much. I did take
lop.com out of there. Someone was here back in '03 that used my computer
without me being nearby. He did not have my Virus Shield turned on. At that
time you had to check if it was on before you went on the web. He messed it
up real bad!! Trojans, virus's, spyware. You name it, the computer had it.

PCR,
You will have to give the credit to Gary. He is the one that helped me
with installing the Modem w/router.

It is very safe to read it that way. If it speaks of attachments or HTML, delete it!

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

PCR,
It has been about 3 months ago. I really so not recall how many posts.
My sister in law came to visit, she started asking me questions about why
one of my sons got a divorce . I told her, I never asked because I did not
think it was any of my business. If she really wanted to know she should ask
him. She only stayed until I gave her that answer. Then she went to his
brother and asked the same thing. She got close to the same answer, she
left. You should ask Gary if you really want to know.

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

PCR,
Maybe you did not understand what I was saying. These 2 email addresses,
if you delete an email when it is open. You read it and do not want to keep
it. It then goes to the NEXT email. If you delete it without opening it,
sometimes you get pop ups.
I have done the properties on a lot of email. No problem there.
Like I said, I wish I had 2 computer because of the personal stuff on
this one. I was promised an old ME one but the person has not finished
downloading the files from it. The person has 2 jobs and has activities on
the side. The person is very active in the same medical group I am in.
When I get that computer I would like to put Win98 on it. All I have is
a OEM disk. Can I use it or do I have to get a regular 98 disk? Or can I put
the stuff I use in 98 on it the way it is with the ME OS?

Normally, I...

Then, all the InBox E-Mail shows up in a Find box. R-Clk individual E-Mail,

Thanks--never thought I'd make it this long given the rapid changes in the
computer arena. Seems like lots of what you know one day is obsolete the
next :-)

You are talking about the InBox in OE? Obviously, your ISP & even avast! is not getting rid of all pop-up deliverers. I guess they only target true viruses.

Therefore, do the R-Clk procedure before reading the E-Mails. Then, when you click the InBox to read the ones left, there won't be any baduns in there.

I agree she should ask your son & not you or his brother. You are not a gossip monger. But, from now on, I want you to count how many posts it takes Terhune to cure you!

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

PCR,
No, I was talking about my inbox at a WEB MAIL
addresses. -------@mail.com Doing the Yahoo address I had no problem. I did
not have any problem with OE. It worked also. It is just these 2 at mail.com

You are talking about the InBox in OE? Obviously, your ISP & even avast! is
not getting rid of all pop-up deliverers. I guess they only target true
viruses.

Therefore, do the R-Clk procedure before reading the E-Mails. Then, when you
click the InBox to read the ones left, there won't be any baduns in there.

| PCR,

I agree she should ask your son & not you or his brother. You are not a
gossip monger. But, from now on, I want you to count how many posts it takes
Terhune to cure you!
