  Create a disc of the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is designed for up to Windows XP with Vista work. Is this possible?

  Hi Silas Martin,

  I have not used Britannica for many years now, but I suppose there is a program of "installation"? If so, try compatibility mode.

  1 / locate the setup.exe (or install file) for the program of Britannica

  2 / right click on the file setup.exe or install.exe, and in the drop-down menu, select Properties.

  3 / in the Properties window, click the Compatibility tab

  4 / on the Compatibility tab place a 'TICK' in the box beside the box "run this program in compatibility mode for", then select the operating system Windows XP (Service Pack 3). This should automatically appear in the box under the run this program in compatibility mode for option. If Windows XP is not visible, then click on the arrow down to see a selection of the available operating system options.

  5 / click OK

  6 / the installation program will now begin to install the program in compatibility mode for Windows XP

  7 / once done, you should be able to run the program as if you were using Windows XP

• Access Windows Mail with Vista OS _

  How can I access email Windows that is running on a Vista operating system from another computer, more specifically from my computer at home (this one) that is running Windows 7.

  I was told MS that Windows 7 will not support Windows Mail, I prefer (although she was responsible here) and that only Windows Live Mail can be performed on-site.  Is this really the case?

  Many users never bother with e-mail software such as Windows Mail, preferring to use webmail online.

  The problem is when clicking on links in e-mail, on web pages, Windows launches the e-mail program default, which is Windows mail in Vista. There are only a few webmail providers who have developed a programme of assistance that will allow their webmail become the default of Windows.

  Well Ok, why do I still need a Windows Mail account, in this case?  Other than this is the default mail program in Internet Explorer, and I use it for this.

• Networking Windows 7 with XP using the router and no internet - machines cannot be

  Hello

  I searched the web and tried all kinds of suggestions to do this, but my new Win7 machine does not always show my daughters XP machine, and vice versa his XP machine is not showing my win7.

  I don't want to have access to the internet so currently have my machine win 7 connected directly to my hub blank so that I can access internet from my win7 machine.  I then another connection from LAN port on my Win7 machine to the router which is also connected his XP machine.

  In my networks and sharing on Win7, I see my homegroup network, which has access to the internet.  Then the other network to the router shows as "unidentified" and the public, but I am unable to change anything on this subject? So can't make a working group or at home.

  The XP machine has also recognized the network and created a shared folder for its own files, but nothing for the win7 machine.

  Both seem to recognize the router and network, but not each other.  Am I missing something?  If it makes any difference, I've already named two machines with the same workgroup name.

  Is anyone able to offer advice?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Vicki

  Hello!

  First you must make sure that the two PC's on the same workgroup. Just checking if they have the same subnet mask. And finally make sure you works discovered the network on Windows 7 PC.

  If computers are subnet masks different IP addresses, they will not be able to see each other.
   
  That I understood your message, you don't want to not PC your daughter to have access to the internet. You can assign static addresses of daughter and your computers. Try to do this:

  1 assign to computer on Win XP LAN network card public static address 10.0.0.10 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0.  To do this, go in Control Panel > network connections, choose the connection you must edit (the one that goes to the Windows 7 computer) and click Properties. In the windows that opens, double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Then choose use the following IP address and fill in the fields with the information above.

  2. the PC Windows 7 go Network and Sharing Center > change the settings of the card and double-click adapter that connects the computer to Win XP. Click on Properties and Internet Protocol Version 4. Then choose use the following IP address and put 10.0.0.11 subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

  3. on the Windows 7 PC to go network and sharing Center > advance change sharing settings. In the public profile check turn on network discovery.

  4. make sure that both computers are on the same workgroup (important)

  After completing these steps computers must be able to meet and communicate.
  Hope this will help. Please let me know the results!

• I can't send e-mail messages using Windows Mail with Vista.

  Get an error message "connection to server failed..., 10060 socket error, error #0X800CCOE.»  Messages can be sent , however using the ability of web myqwest.com.  Messages can be received with the Windows Mail & myqwest.com.  Windows Mail is the Version 6.0.6000.16386.  Have been in contact with representatives of tech Qwest to convert the treatment of live.com to mail myqwest.com.

  Started having problems sending e-mail messages 3 days ago, so I first worked with Qwest representatives to change outgoing port from 25 to 587, account of "pop3.live.com" to "mail.q.com", etc.  Until messages have been sent and received successfully by using qwest and MS Mail.

  Ok. First look at these two links and see if your settings match exactly.

  Another thing that can cause this specific error is analysis even if she worked for years of e-mail messages.

  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 many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available. This is the only way to be sure, analysis of e-mail is completely out of the image at 100%.

• Why do I get multiple incoming messages in Windows Mail, with Vista Home Premium.

  About 4 weeks ago I started having 2 copies of each incoming e-mail.  I did a system restore to a month before that without change.  I unchecked "leave a copy on the server", who has worked, but now I've lost a few hundred emails that have been backed up on my ISP server and coronal mass ejections each email through OK, but did not stay on the server with the box unchecked.  I did a restore of the system from the original date and now I get incoming emails in triplicate.

  I do not see anywhere to disable "e-mail scanning" in my AV (Cox Security Suite) HELP program!

  Make sure that you do not have two copies of the account mail under Tools | Accounts since this is the usual reason in WinMail for having multiple copies of the same messages.  If this isn't the issue, you can try compacting and repairing the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  If this does not work, then you will need the possibility of antivirus software.  I uninstall, and then delete the email account, compact and repair the database and then add the account back again.  Then see if it works.  If so, get something less invasive such www.microsoft.com/security_essentials , then under settings, clear the file eml are analyzed.  See also www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for general information.

  See if that helps at all.

• Satellite P200 - freeze of Windows 7 with network

  Hello, (sorry for my bad English)

  Here's my problem:
  I connect to internet wireless or ethernet card.

  Windos 7 freezes:

  (1) when my connection is disconnected and it reconnects or I come out of hibernation
  (2) or when I'm on files shared shared network between my two computers at home
  (3) when I select the network printer.

  This problem happens in wifi or direct cable network.
  I've not had problems with vista on the same hardware.
  Everything else works perfectly on this computer, download, games, music, videos, software, etc...

  The latest drivers are made (the last). I did all the tests possible and seen all that I could find on google and this is in vain!

  Card: Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Look like there is a problem connecting with other devices;
  Eventually Windows waits for the answer since the devices on your network, and so it freezes.

  Just a question; do you have problems with the internet connection (LAN or WLan).
  If this isn't the case, then I guess that the devices are okay and that there must be a problem of windows OS.

  How about driver update?
  You use the latest drivers?
  Are you using all the patches and hotfixes from MS?

  How about firewall and other security software? Are you sure that these programs do not affect networking?
