  • Inbox repair

    Inbox Repair Tool - repair several times tried and it didn't work and he asked me to make a disk error check.  I don't know where to do this review.

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and try to fix any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive.

    I hope this helps.

  • If Firefox is open, and then, I opened my email MS Outlook 2000 client, if there is an email containing an html link, if I click on this link, it does nothing, b

    If Firefox is open, and I then open my MS Outlook 2000 e-mail client, if there is an email with a link inside html, if I click on this link, it doesn't do anything, but if I close Firefox and then click on this email link Firefox opens.

    I find that if I attempt to open another e-mail link, he wouldn't do anything until I closed Firefox again in the end.

    wilsonphurwo,

    Highlighting the link never worked, it was the first thing I tried, I actually found the answer myself after I had posted here.

    Fortunately when this issue has happened before I had copied the solution in Notepad, and it is this I copy here for someone else who may come across this problem.

    Furthermore, the links are hypertext on my MS Outlook 2000 e-mail client, so when you try to copy it only copied the text.

    Anyway, here's the solution to my original problem.

    1. start the desktop or Windows Explorer.
    2. choose that menu 'Tools'-> 'folders Options.
    3. click on the tab "File Types".
    4 scroll to find "URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol" (under the File Types column) and make sure that it is highlighted.
    5. click on the button "Advanced".
    6. in the box "Actions" to ensure that this 'open' is highlighted (click it if necessary)
    7. click on the button 'change '.
    8. uncheck the 'Use DDE', click on the Browse button and navigate to Firefox.exe on your system and click OK. [Updated for clarification, sorry about the previous omission.] If you receive a "file not found" message, find Firefox.exe and click OK.
    9. the path to Firefox.exe should now appear in the "Application used to perform action" box
    10 go in the "Application used to perform action" box and add "-url '%1' ' at the end, without the single quotes, whereas it displays for example (on my computer at least)" C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe "- url '%1' - with quotes!"
    10. click on OK again.
    11. repeat the operation with the file type "URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol with privacy".

  • Vista does not start, fails to Startup Repair indicating that the version of the operating system is incompatible with Startup Repair tool

    I use a laptop Dell XPS M1330, under Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. The laptop froze, I tried to do a system restore, which did not work. Now the laptop goes into startup each time put on repair. A message window appears saying "Startup Repair cannot repair the computer automatically. Startup Repair window says "Startup Repair could not detect a problem. Diagnostics details say: Root cause found: the operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair tool.

    I tried to use the Dell Factory Image Restore to restore the system, but it does not end. I get an error message instead. There is no details, it's just a small window with an X and the Word error.

    I also tried to use resettlement Dell DVD, but that doesn't seem to work either.

    Vista does not start at all, not in either safe mode.

    I just ran to the Dell Diagnostics tool, and that is to say that the integrity test of memory has failed... No idea how to solve this problem?

    I'm at a loss and helps woukld be appreciated.

    Hi James,

    Ø are you using the correct version of the Vista disc to run Startup Repair?

    I suggest to run the diagnostic tool memory WINRE mode and check if the memory (RAM) installed on the computer works fine.

    Follow the steps below to start the computer using the WINRE and run the memory diagnostic tool.

    A. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc.

    B. restart your computer.

    C. Si you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

    D. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    E. click on repair your computer.

    F. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    G. in the menu system, SelectMemory diagnostic tool Recovery Options.

    Once scanning is complete, check to see if the problem is resolved.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-know-if-my-computer-has-a-memory-problem

    If you have several sticks of RAM installed on the computer, you can try to remove one of the RAM stick and check if it works very well. Also, you try to exchange the RAM sticks and check if one of the RAM is originally this issue and if it needs to be replaced.

    Note: If you are not aware of the evolution and swaping the stick of RAM on the computer, it is best to contact the computer manufacturer for help on this and you can do it at your own risk.

    You can also contact Dell support and check if you need to replace any hardware.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  • Outlook Express 6, Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2003 print incomplete emails if IE8 is installed.

    The right side of the first page of a printed email from Outlook Express 6, Outlook 2000, or Outlook 2003 is truncated on a computer that is running Windows XP SP3 with Internet Explorer 8 is installed.  E-mails containing tables are specifically affected, but it may be any other emails as well. This problem is easily reproducible on any XP machine running IE8 and any version of outlook prior to 2007. It seems that Microsoft has stopped using the IE from Outlook 2007 print engine. One of these same machines that have this problem, if you uninstall IE8 and go back to IE7, the problem goes away.

    I searched all over the web trying to solve this problem. It seems that there is some workaround solutions, but not a solution for this problem for XP users. Microsoft has released a fix for this EXACT problem for users of Windows Vista and Windows 7. This hotfix will not install on a XP system. The link to the fix is here:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/980333

    There is another thread on this topic in forum windows 7:

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/InternetExplorer/thread/8c629797-DB1C-470C-92af-015e4ea03110

    The question in this thread has been resolved with the patch that I mentioned above, but when joined XP users, it was recommended that someone start a new thread about this in XP. I did now and am waiting for a response from Microsoft.

    Possible temporary solutions (for those of you are experiencing this problem):

    1 - back to IE7 (I'm not an acceptable solution in the enterprise environment).

    2. after the opening of the email, go to the file and save it as an html file. Open the HTML in ie8 or your favorite browser and print from there.

    3 - the upgrade to Office 2007 or 2010 (if I wanted to spend the money on a new product, I would. However, I refuse to do that simply because an old version, I bought doesn't work anymore.

    Success!

    So, this is a summary of what I've done:

    1 has begun with an installation of XP SP3 updated with IE8 installed. At this point, I have the right margin bug in OE6.
    2. uninstalled the latest update of security for IE8, which to this day is KB2559049. Restarted.
    3. (you may need to perform this step in Mode safe) renamed ieframe.dll in C:\Windows\System32 ieframe.old. Ieframe.dll manually copy the LDR version in the second most recent Cumulative Security Update for IE8, which, as of this writing is KB2530548 in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. That version LDR is located at C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB2530548-IE8\SP3QFE and is the version 8.00.6001.23165(longhorn_ie8_ldr.110420-1800). Restarted.
    4. check that the right margin bug is now fixed. Windows Update told me that the most recent Cumulative Security Update for IE8, KB2559049, was now available to the installation, I did. Restarted.
    5. check the ieframe.dll version that is now in my C:\Windows\System32 folder and it is 8.00.6001.23192(longhorn_ie8_ldr.110617-1815) as hoped. Confirmed that the bug of the right margin is always fixed.

    This procedure does 2 things that just copies the LDR latest version updated security in the System32 folder would not prove it with. :

    (A) this shows that manual copy of the dll LDR of security Cumulative Update and then apply the next update will keep the ieframe.dll on the LDR track. There is no need to worry that the next update replace with the MDM (non-hotfix) version.

    (B) there was a bunch of other DLLs that have been on the LDR track when KB2559049 has been reinstalled, it seems that the ieframe.dll LDR can have dependencies on other DLLs being also in the LDR branch, or vice versa. Simply having the LDR ieframe.dll since the 2nd upgrade newer in the System32 folder when you install the latest, due to the most recent update to other dll LDR trace. This includes iepeers.dll, ieproxy.dll, iertutil.dll, c:\windows\system32\msfeeds.dll, wininet.dll, and xpshims.dll (and probably others). Makes me conclude that my method (steps 1-4 above) is greater than the fair copy in the LDR new dll for ieframe.dll, since the other dependant dll LDR manually will be installed using my method.

  • Incompatible with Outlook 2000 and Windows 7!

    I just bought a new DELL PC with Windows 7.  I've been running with Office 2000 professional and XP Professional for many years.  When I installed Office 2000 on the new PC, I find that outlook 2000 does not work (unable to find the WAB. (DLL)

    After spending several hours trying different things, renaming the wab32.dll then reinstalling office, the copy of the OUTLWAB. DLL from my windows XP PC to the new windows 7 PC, nothing works.

    I now discover that outlook 2000 does not work with Windows 7.  I though that one of the main features of Windows 7 was that, unlike Windows Vista, it works with all of your old software at time of Windows 95.

    I tried Windows LiveMail, but unfortunately, there seems to be no facility to import mail or contacts. As I have several thousand e-mails import and hundreds of contacts, LiveMail is not a viable solution.

    I am seriously considering to format the new PC and the Windows XP Professional installation. For now, I'll continue to use my old XP PC for e-mail.

    Is maintained in Outlook 2000 incompatibility or I'm having difficulties with WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT, ACCESS?

    If you have Windows 7 Pro, you can try the Windows XP mode which will virtualize a Windows XP system and install Office in there. Windows 7 is compatible with almost any software for Windows XP and most of the software for Windows XP. Office 2000 was designed for Windows 95 and to be compatible with all the way to Windows 2000.

    There is a difference with running compatible software and software. Windows 7 works with most software that has been designed to work with Windows XP.

  • Need help: moving from Outlook 2000 to Windows Live Mail

    I would like to ask my question/problem to be seen by someone who is an expert in your e-mail programs (Outlook, Windows Live Mail, etc.). Thank you!

    Here's the scenario:

    (1) we have a PC of office 9 years old who is replaced.  The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition - SP 2.  This PC runs a Microsoft Office 2000 Professional for ever... including Outlook 2000, which we use for our home e-mail accounts.

    2) there are 2 users on this PC (myself & my wife).  Outlook 2000 is configured in a way that allows both of us to share these same accounts. Regardless of whether I am connected to the computer or that it is recorded, when launch us Outlook, we are all two accesses to the same ".pst" file with the same Messages, the same Contacts & calendar.  (There are currently 2 set POP3 e-mail accounts in place of our provider (Verizon) that both feed into the same Inbox reception & records).

    (3) the old PC is replaced by a new system of office under Windows 7 Home Premium.  The new system came preloaded with Microsoft Office 2007 - Home & Student edition - comprising STEPS of Outlook.

    (4) outlook is a great program, but also because it's like a desktop messaging system, it's really more that most need people for the welcome e-mail.  We therefore decided to try Windows Live Mail on our new computer.

    (5) I've copied the ".pst file ' of our old PC to the new & attempted to import the messages into Live Mail.  Live Mail did not provide an option to import this format - only Outlook Express 6, Windows Mail & Windows Live Mail itself seem to be supported.

    (6) I read a message board entry online (can't remember where) that said that Outlook 2000 is not in a format that is compatible with Live Mail.  So, on our old computer XP, I opened OUTLOOK EXPRESS & imported all messages, contacts and calendar entries in Outlook 2000 ".pst" file.  The problem is: I don't know what to do next!  Everything is imported in Outlook Express on the old PC, but I don't know the name of the file they are or what I should do to get the Live Mail on the new PC to see.  The Dell tech support technicians were absolutely no help at all, I have turned to you all!

    Here are my questions:

    Can I configure Windows Live Mail to work in the same way that Outlook 2000 - shared between 2 users?  Our provider allow multiple e-mail addresses.  They all do not have to feed in boxes receive same account, but for myself & my wife, I would like to be able to see the Archives of message even when we are connected.

    In addition, my wife got a new Windows 7 laptop.  Would it not possible to 'network' of the ".pst" file in a shared folder so that each computer can see it in Live Mail?  (It would be a "friendlier", but it isn't a necessity by all means).  Or Live Mail not use same ".pst"?

    Or do we forget Live Mail completely & buy Outlook 2007?

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Dexter

    You do all the right things!  To find the folder that contains the Outlook Express files on the old XP computer, click Tools > Options > maintenance > store folder .  Copy this folder on the Windows 7 computer.  Then import Microsoft Outlook Express 6 on Windows Live Mail through this folder.

    Windows Live Mail supports multiple e-mail accounts.  Each has its own set of folders (Inbox, sent, deleted items, etc.).

    Only Outlook uses ".pst" files  I don't know of any way to share a file between two computers ".pst".  You can set up e-mail on computers programs to read the same incoming messages.

  • I'm not able to import my entire Outlook Express inbox what can I do?

    I need to improve my old but trust mail and Thunderbird selected, I downloaded it and it implemented most of my files and a few emails in my Inbox. Clearly all was not right so I read the help and uninstalled Thunderbird, set outlook express as the default e-mail, downloaded again Thunderbird client program and this time, that all the files were there with the emails within them - but the Inbox will hold about 5 emails... (It takes about 1 500) do not know how to get my old email in... is he a cheater like move all the email in the Inbox to a folder in e-mail temportary and then reinstall Thunderbird and then simply move the email in the folder temporary back to the Inbox?

    Seems he must move it without having to do that, but strange things can happen!

    Outlook express is notorious for corrupt DBX files. not always as things do not work in express Ouytlook.

    Menu (Alt + T) tools > import and you can retry the import as often as you want. Each test will create a folder of expresss [number] outlook under local folders with what he got in them.

    Note that import maiol no Hey... apparently your setting came first time round.
    I would say running one of the tools on outlook express you be sure fix DBX.
