My computer will not delete emails in my Outlook Express, how to fix this?

I hope you can help!

You have corruption of dbx files.
 
Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.
 
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 Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
 
Compact all folders as described below.
 
To avoid this in the future:
 
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:

    Hi MrGreener,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 are you able to install all other updates on the computer?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    4. you receive an error message while updates?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you manually download and install updates, check if it installed correctly on the computer.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I would suggest that reset you the default Windows Update components and later try to install updates.

    Method 3

    If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Delete a file called "wre.exe", now two of my virus scanners will not work and nor does internet Explorer, how to fix?

    I took my computer to the shop twice to fix the same virus, and then I got it again. This time, I decided to try to fix myself because obviously they couldn't do it, despite having taken $200 from me.

    my mother gave me Norton antivirus, and its history has shown me where the file kept showing in taskmanager, so I went there and deleted. the virus seems to have disappeared and to a large extent, my computer seems to work but I can't run microsoft security essentials or antimalware bytes. haven't tried my other programs yet, but I know that I can still read PDF files, and I can see my photos. the icon of internet explore doesn't work, I got in line to say things to try to find the file online. whenever I try to go online, or use one of my two antivirus, it tells me to choose a program to use to open it.

    is there anyway that I can fix this? really get rid of the virus? I can't afford to have this fixed thing again, and of course, they are unable to him anyway.

    If you like not what it was, I think it was called xp antivirus 2012 or something similar.

    in fact, its virus programs not only blocking, his block anything that does not use another program to run, like adobe or realplayer. I am sure that it changed something. I'll try this thing to scan in any case, just to see if it finds anything. If it isn't, I have no choice but to do a complete reinstall of windows.

    is there a risk to the installation of an operating system from an obsolete drive severely? as in will be my computer be infected again until he finally update all the way?

    First of all, you can not delete a file by using the Task Manager. You can choose to terminate a process but cannot remove a file that you have indicated above in your initial post.

    Second, you can't have the two Microsoft Security Essentials and Norton installed on the same machine. Conflict reducing your coverage and possibly even cause a blue screen.

    Thirdly, you are unable to open due to the malware programs change you file associations of executable files.

    Fourthly, you have problems to connect to the internet most likely because the malicious software modified your internet connection settings.

    It will be easy to fix if you follow my instructions carefully.

    With the help of a good working computer and flash drive you mentioned above download the four files below save them on the flash drive.

    XpExeFix.reg

    RKill

    RemoveProxy

    Malwarebytes< it="" doesn't="" matter="" that="" you="" may="" already="" have="" malwarebytes="" downloaded.="" use="" the="" one="" on="" the="" link="" i="" provided.="" it="" has="" been="" renamed="" to="" allow="" it="" to="" run="" on="" infected="">

    Now take the flash drive for infected patients. Open the flash drive. Right-click on XpExeFix.reg and choose merge. Confirm the prompt. You should receive a message that the information has been added to the registry.

    Then, double-click RemoveProxy and run it. Once the operation is completed, you should be able to access the internet. If you are unable to run the file go to the step below and run RKill and then return to this step.

    Then, from the flash drive double click on RKill and choose to run it. It may take a while to complete but, just let it run. You will get a window similar to that of the command prompt and must be informed when the process is complete.

    Once the RKill completed, double-click Malwarebytes and choose to install it. Update to update the installation, then run a full scan. Remove any detected object. If you are unable to update just for some reason any run it.

    Post when you have completed these steps for additional instructions.

  • my computer reads that sound out of the left speaker, how to fix this?

    I have the impression that the panoramic L/R is off but don't know how to fix it.  It's not just at the point where I play sound from my computer, but when I plug small. where can I find panoramic options? or whatever else might be needed to solve this problem? It is a Windows 7, has always been and its lenovo. Thank you!!

    Hi Ryan,
    I would recommend going back to the basics.
    You have removed realtec and you currently use generic windows drivers correct?
    The sound card is on the motherboard, or installed on his own card?
    If she has her own card he dethrone (while the system is off) then reposition the map making is secure
    Once you determine that several otherwise work speakers/headphones have this same question, then pointing to a hardware failure.

    Don't let many programs start with Windows if you don't need it out immediately.

    Many programs adds a key in the registry automatically during the installation to start with Windows.

    So once Windows loaded, these programs remain running in the background without requiring you really need them.

    You can always start these programs manually via start > all programs when you need it. However, it is always important that your Antivirus and your firewall is activated and starts with Windows.
    Everything else is optional and it is up to you decide which programs you think are useful to start with Windows or not.

    To disable some programs from starting with windows, go to start > run and type: "msconfig" (without the quotes).

    Select the "Startup" tab and uncheck what you don't want to start with Windows.

    You can always reactivate their then selecting them.
