help restore OE msgs

I saved all my OE messages on external drive before a clean install of windows XP - now how do they return?  Thank you!

You have probably lost a lot of messages due to bloating of dbx files. They have limits. You can use the IMAP protocol, but the key is to save your messages. A way of archiving is simply dragging OE messages to user created the Windows folder. My Documents is a good place for them.
 
Please read these precautions for OE.
 
 
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:
http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
 
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.
 
Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
 
And backup often.

    If this does not help, check your Recycle Bin, the bak files which are dbx files, you can restore backups.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

    If this does not help, then you will probably need my program DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/), which will extract the messages from individual dbx files, and if messages are no longer in the files, it can extract from the disc itself.

  • 2006 iMac does not start. Help restore

    I have an Intel iMac core duo with iSight and built in disk drive around 2006. It does not start.

    When I turn on, it sounds and passes to the gray screen with the apple logo and a progress bar or a spinning wheel. Then he stops down. I tried all the troubleshooting and nothing works. In addition, I don't have the disks that originally from cane with the computer. So I can't make a diagnosis of the hardware. (Unless someone is willing to sell me their album hehe).

    This problem happened to me in 2012. I had a friend restore the computer to empty the hard disk, then boot from the snow leopard disc and reinstall everything. It worked like a charm.

    In 2013, a disc is stuck in the drive. I have troubleshooted only and nothing has worked. I assumed that the drive is dead and has continued to use the computer without worrying about that. Then, in 2014 someday when I restarted, the disk jumped! I never tested the drive then because I was afraid of another stuck disc. Then, the computer is dead again as he did in 2012.

    SO I know what to do. I need to wipe the hard drive and start over. However, I didn't have a drive. So, I bought one on eBay. When I insert it, the computer enters the disc. I can hear the mechanics works. It ejects even properly. However, I can't boot from the drive. When I start the iMac by pressing option, I don't see the Macintosh, no disk drive.

    My hard drive died? If so, a USB dvd drive would work? If USB does not work, how can I replace the drive?

    Is it possible that I bought a drive bad or fake software and that's why I can't boot from the dad?

    Please help in some way!

    > Is it possible to reset to factory settings complete with recovery or partition without a name?

    In General, you have two options:
    Either you try to retrieve the laptop using recovery disk as described here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    or you will recover the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery disk which you likely has not been created in the past using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Right.

    Well, if the recovery of HARD drive does not work (whatever the reason), then you must use the recovery disc. If recover disk has not been created in the past, you can order the CD here:

    What will work restores your computer to its original factory state using HP recovery media.  It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP. In some cases, you will be able to order a USB instead of discs.  You must order at HP; they cannot be downloaded.

    The link is on the software page and download drivers for your PC: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7137590/model/7484025

    Once there, scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see an entry for the command Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click on the symbol '+' to expand this entty and click on order to press for more details.

    Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

    If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

    If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

    Note that if HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Don't forget to read through the material in the linked thread before attempting the recovery: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00707939

  • Help restore the temporary files

    I just restored my Dell Dimension 4700 to factory settings, but before I did, I used the file and Transfer Wizard to transfer all my files on an external hard drive up, but I don't know how to restore them now that I am up and running again.  They seem to be in Temp folders.  Any help ASAP would be certainly appreciated.

    External hard drive LaCie and Genie Backup Software that comes with it is what the Temp files are on (at least this is what I think it is).  The files settings and Transfer Wizard helped me transfer my files before I restored my system to factory settings, but I do not see how to restore now.  Help

    Brooklyn Babe

    Babe from Brooklyn,
    All you need to do is to run the transfer Assistant again, and when it starts it will ask if it's the new pc or old.  Say that it's new and then he will be asked where the files are located and you direct them to the reader.  NOW, I did this on a pc once and had a little problem with the service pack level.  The SP should be the same as on the old machine.  for example, I saved on SP2, and I tried to restore the SP3 and it wouldn't work.  I had to remove the SP3 and then restore. Typing of my new Windows 7 64 bit and love it! Soli Deo Gloria!

  • Help restore backed up files

    I had problems with Windows Vista, so I used the Center backup and restore to back up all my files before performing a system restore. I then used the system restore to restore the PC to its original configuration. Of course, to restore the system also eresed all data files, which I expected. So far everything worked as expected. When I went to restore the files, restore Windows told me that the backup files were not valid and suggested I check the hardware configuration. As far as I know, nothing has changed in the hardware configuration. Any ideas I could try next? The main thing lost was family photos.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • I need help restoring my 2 laptops

    Hello world

    I wanted to ask how I could restore my laptop which seems to have some serious problems... It is:

    The first one who came first is a laptop Hp 530 comes with Vista Home Basic operating syatem and I updated to Vista ultimate which I used for almost 2 years 2 weeks ago after I downloaded some updates and started to set up my system unknown to me that my diet was not on the system's lack of battery and shut down without finishing system of its configuration and now whenever I go it is always telling me that its configuration still then restarts and stops on its own constantly without never to get the page to logon as in the first time after the restoration of power and put it on it gave me an error message that it finds not the login page and I tried to go through the safe mode and other modes of starting order that I can use the system restore, but it does not get past that stage and I have the ultimate Vista operating sytem CD that I had that I used for the upgrade of a dear friend who is not present in the city

    The second laptop which is Hp dv3000 which has Vista family premium has encountered a problem running last week when I visited the official adobe site to download a flash player and he was prompted after downloading asking me what program I want to use to open it and I choose Opera webbrowser because I wanted to access the site with opera , but suddenly changed some of my desktop icon to the icon of the opera and then I tried to uninstall the adobe program after uninstalling opera, but it wouldn't uninstall and the icons did not change, so I tried the system restore I had already set up a much earlier restore point but it will give an error message that it can't find the path and also some programs do not come to the top during starts and so does not display their icon in the bottom tray and some links from the control panel significantly the ones with. EXE as when I try to use that a message will appear asking that I want to run, save, cancel the program, which is unusual, and when I click either run or save always trigger the web browser to come... Please I do two of them as if I didn't get in shape like I did not back up my files and programs on two laptops.

    Please can someone help me...
