  • How can I get help outlook express? When I send a mail, I get an error message indicating the e-mail was sent not.

    Had problems with Outlook Express.  When I send a mail, I get an error message indicating the e-mail was sent not.  The e-mail has been sent, but it never leaves the output area.  I have to go and delete the e-mail.  Then I don't have a folder of e-mails, except in my deleted file.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

  • When I try to print an e-mail I get an error saying "an error has occurred in the script on this page".

    original title: printing email problem

    When I go to print an e-mail I get a dialog box to say that "an error has occurred in the script on this page" and will not print and computer freezes and I have to restart. He just started this. Why and how to fix?

    Windows Mail uses the IE print engine.  You can print from IE?  There was an earlier report that one could not print Windows mail after installing IE9.  If you can print from IE, then see if uninstall IE9 (which was installed by default) fixes the problem.

    Windows vista 32 bit.
    Windows Mail receives by e-mail at the start of the program, but when I press send/receive it does nothing more.
    Then when I mail windows startup that he gets all of my email, if I send an email to myself, it sends e-mail directly, but by hitting the send/receive button, it does nothing (it shows the Outbox send/receive and said that there are mistakes, but when you check the error tab, it showed no errors). If I close windows mail and that he again, the email is received.  I put it to automatically receive by email after 10 minutes, even there, receiving nothing. I have not any virusscanner, it's a clean install with windows vista 32-bit, and configured the windows Messaging. Got all the updates that are available from Ms.

  • HOW can I remove my Bookmarks Toolbar Firefox's "Getting Started" link? It wastes space and seems invulnerable to the attempted abductions.

    From the outset, I am on a MacBook Air, running Yosemite & the most recent Firefox Help. If your only interest in my question is for bash Macs, then (yawn) I'm not interested. If your interest is to help sincerely, then you have my interest as well:

    I'm stuck with a "Getting Started" Firefox link as the first 'signet' (left) on my bookmarks bar, I really want to delete: I was in the Apple computers (from the Apple] [e) & online since the mid-80s, so I'm hardly a naif in the digital world or Firefox newbie , so having a "Getting Started" link to life is ridiculous, AND I really need the space to accommodate MY choice! Then...

    I tried all ways recommended to delete unwanted bookmarks - Firefox, BUT when I pull down the "Show all bookmarks" command of bookmarks in the Menu bar, there is NO such thing as the "Getting Started" link, so I can't delete it there. I've even linked by clicking and dragging it out of the toolbar, but it does not (nor made more by dragging to the trash. Then, someone has idea of this insurgent link?

    You can try this?

    1. Open the Bookmarks Manager. In what is the Apple menu icon or the menu bar, click bookmarks > show all bookmarks.
    2. In the search bar search Favorites, type getting started.
    3. Delete the bookmark that opens.

  • Can't watch videos from getting started on 16.0.1 install page with Mac Intel 10.6.8 - no mp4 plugin update?

    Page "Getting Started" for Firefox 16.0.1 has a video window that plays audio only. Test of Firefox for the plugins page shows RealPlayer, Flash, Flip4Mac and Java are up-to-date. What other video plugins are required. I am currently using Firefox 10.0.2 and I am not inclined to update unless I have good reason to do so.

    If that doesn't work in Firefox Safe mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) and then try to find out who is causing by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')

    Hi ricklord303,

    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle.

    There are the steps in this article to reset your preferences on the default home page. I would try everything first to clear all strangeness. If it works, you can try to set your homepage again to your personal preferences.

    If this does not work you should look at this article on this specific issue and Preferences not savedarticle.

    Hope this helps!
