• Outlook Express opens to maximize the window always.

  Victorinox original title: outlook express.

  Hello everyone.

  I'm new to these forms. so I hope that I've posted to the correct form. Moderators please move my post if I'm in the wrong form.

  My question is: when I opened the window of outlook express it opens in the window expand only.
  I'm not able to resize the window.
  When I try to enter this window with the mouse cursor and drag this window that does not either.
  When I click Restore down the window will minimize in the taskbar.
  the only way I can open re which minimize the window in the task bar it is right-click on it and select optimize.
  also when I right click that minimize button in the task bar and the small box opens, the move, the size and the reduced are grayed out.
  the exact behavior even happens when I open the Task Manager window and the window add / remove programs.

  I am able to enter with the cursor of the mouse normally on IE8 Windows, Notepad window, WordPad and the Control Panel window and re size all of these windows.

  How can I fix?

  I can't think of all the programs I have installed recently.

  I am running Windows XP edition Home 32 x 86 SP3 with all current updates.
  I am running IE8 with all current updates.
  I am running McAffee internet Security with all current updates...
  I think that my skills with windows and computers are a little below average I think.

  I would appreciate a response and assistance :)

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Charles,

  Try to connect with different profile and see if the problem persists? Say to connect as an administrator and see if the problem is repeated here.

  If you are already connected as long as administrator, try to create a different profile-> click on Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> users and accounts. (http://www.ehow.com/how_2078860_create-new-user-account-windows.html)

  If everything works well, copy your problematic profile to this new profile data see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151

  I hope this helps.

• Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express email. I hate Windows live mail and want to come back to Outlook Express. I have Windows 7.

  Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express e-mail account.  I downloaded Windows Live Mail and don't like it at all.  I can't understand how to add a new contact.

  You post in a forum of Vista and Outlook Express last used in XP. If you mean Vista Windows Mail, unless you have removed the account, just open the program and use it. You can remove WLMail whenever you want. It is a part of the programs in the window Live Essentials Control Panel uninstall section.

• Transfer outlook express emails from a computer windows xp on a windows 7.

  Recently, I received my parents put up with a new computer: a made-to-measure machine running a 64 bit version of windows 7 Professional. The reason for this change is that their old pc is very slow. The main problem I've come across is e-mail transfer; on their old computer they are running outlook express where they sorted and organized e-mail for over 5 years now, emails, they are not ready to lose. Is it possible to transfer these emails from the old pc to the new? If so, how would I go to do? I also learned that outlook express is no longer supported. If this is true, is kind of price should I be looking at?

  Thanks in advance

• How to convert old Outlook Express (.idx files) contacts in Windows Live.

• How can I install outlook express I DO NOT LIKE WINDOWS LIVE MAIL

  I don't like windows live mail hoe can install express look?

  On Friday, November 2, 2012 17:59:29 + 0000, Billie Skov says:

  I don't like windows live mail

  I'm not either. I think it's the worst email program I've ever seen.

  But there are a lot of other choices of e-mail programs, some for sale
  and some are free.

  can hoe I install express look?

  You can not. Outlook Express disappeared for several years. Windows
  XP was the last version of Windows to include it.

  You have chosen to install Windows Live Mail or is it entered
  preinstalled on your computer? If your computer came with Windows 7
  pre-installed and also Windows Live Mail, which is not because Windows 7
  came with it, it is because your computer manufacturer delivered it
  with what he sold you.

  Some people will tell you to use Windows Live Mail; others will say
  You can use Thunderbird; still others may have other recommendations.

  My advice is to ignore all of these recommendations. I personally use
  Microsoft Outlook for the mail and Forte Agent for groups of discussion, but you
  must try several and choose what you prefer, rather than
  your decision based on what I, or anyone else, like better (or even
  what Microsoft suggests).

  Have downloaded SQL Server Express R2 2008 happened for some time. Then it asked me to enter the password for the "sa" user I wanted to use it, so I chose 'Continue' and it went to install.

• Whenever I try to open Outlook Express, I get this message: Run Time Error! Program: C\Program

  I am running windows XP Professional

  Whenever I try to open outlook express, I get this message

  Run Time Error!  Program: C\Program...

  This application has requested the execution in an unusual way.

  Please contact the support team of applications for mor information

  I can not access my emails at all.

  Search for antivirus interference.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  If you can, open OE and click file | Identities and establish a new identity.  Then see if it works.  If you can not open OE to do this, then move all the dbx files to another directory of their current location.  To reset the message store, which you should be able to open OE then.

• Outlook Express 6 will open and operated with IE8?

  I've been using Outlook Express 6 with IE8 until recently, but now OE6 will not open. I get a label "unresponsive" in the title of the window, and the program does not open. What can I do to watch my e-mail files that have been downloaded using OE6? I can convert them to a different mail program without having to open OE6? Any ideas would be appreciated.

  IE8 has nothing to do with your problem. Close OE and delete the message store Folders.dbx and see if that fixes it.

  Location of the base of messages

  The path to the message will be very similar to this:

  C:\Documents and Settings\Your User of utilisateur\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {long string of letters & numbers} \Microsoft\Outlook Express

  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.

  Find and Remove Folders.dbx. A new Folders.dbx file will be created when you open OE. Restart first.

  Note these possible side effects:

  When you re - start OE, it will build a new index of all *.dbx files it can read and create a new Folders.dbx. Please understand that you will lose the mail directory structure, all the discussion lists and all synchronization options and message rules will probably have to be edited.

  Outlook Express questions should be asked here in the future.

  See if one of these ideas to help you. How you saved as eml files should be good, that's how to open them now.
  
  1: open OE and slide a .eml recorded you message an OE folder. (Maybe create a new folder in OE to avoid confusion). This message is now open in OE?
   
   
  2: create a file association.
   
  1. you saved eml files.
  2. right click on a saved file.
  3. Select: Open with on the shortcut menu.
  4. click on: choose [default] program.
  5 select: Outlook Express
  6. check: always use the selected program to open this type of file.
  7. click on OK.
   
   
  3: Remove Windows Live Mail, as appropriate.
   
   
  4: Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000 may be the culprit. What you can do to make the rule in or out? I'm not experienced with this program.
