    You did not indicate EO to leave a copy of messages on the server, so when he downloaded from the server, they have been removed from it.  Go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and check the box leave a copy on the server for the future.

  • Lightroom does not open, I have too many computers registered

    Lightroom is not CC but updated to the latest version of sad-alone. The serial number is valid, but when I try to start, I get a message saying that I have too many computers registered. As far as I know, I have only this one. I may have another old but he died.

    I have been using Lightroom for years and since April with the last update. The only thing that changes is that I got a logic board again set. But this should not change computer identity, it should?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi miked

    The only thing that changes is that I had a new logic board set

    This means that you have added another computer, stand-alone always disable any product Adobe before you upgrade your motherboard or buy a new computer.

    Restart your computer once and try to activate again

  • Is it possible to prevent or remedy to have too many files in the DCIM folder?

    Is it possible to prevent or remedy to have too many files in the DCIM folder?  In a group of friends, when you view folders DCIM iPhone in Windows 8, three of us have many, many files (such as 101APPLE, 327APPLE, 328APPLE).  Phones concerned: 5 c, 6: 6.  Some have only one photo per file, some files have just a few pictures.  In addition, two friends have files dated 1969.  I think everyone has the most current ioS. What is the cause and is at - it a way to overcome it?

    No, it isn't. The DCIM and its content was never for public use to shoot photos and videos.

    Here's the right way to go about it.

    You have to consider where to store images and catalogs as well as your backup procedure.

    Your photos and catalogs are now on your laptop.

    You can move your photos from wihin the Organizer files: use the left in mode files Panel and drag and drop folders (including their subfolders) to the new external drive. This is the same procedure as with the Explorer/finder. This makes the Organizer ensures that the path of the image files is updated in the catalog. You can have the part of your library in your laptop and the other in the external hard drive.

    You can also move your catalogs on the external hard drive from the Catalog Manager.

    If you want to move the catalogs and photos to Catalog Manager, you can also do so safely using the backup/restore procedure:

    Using Backup, Restore to move the catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later version

    About backups: you can use the built-in backup method or an external one as your cloud solution.

    Photoshop Elements 6/7/8 frequently asked Questions (FAQ)

    My advice is to make sure that your catalogs are included in your cloud backup solution AND backups oganizer periodicals. This is the only easy way to restore or move your library and catalogs if your laptop or SMT fail.

  • Outlook Express seems closely related to other programs.

    I received a reply that I could remove Outlook Express from my computer, but after checking out, it seems to be part of other Programs from Microsoft.  I'm afraid to remove it - what happens if he messes with other programs?  When I try to reset all the Yahoo, it doesn't give me that option.  He's going only to Outlook Express.  Any suggestions?

    You are right that you can't remove OE it's part of IE6 and your XP operating system.
     
    When you click on a mailto link, it looks like a default mail client. Yahoo is only Webmail and not an e-mail client. It may solve your problem though.
     
    How can I make Yahoo! Mail my default email application?
    http://help.Yahoo.com/l/us/Yahoo/mail/YAHOOMAIL/settings/settings-10.html
     
    You can also make the OE Inbox read-only and OE does not open, but I can't do that alone will make open Yahoo.
     
     
     
    In 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, the files of user OE (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 box of Inbox.dbx. Right-click on it and then Propertied and check the read-only box.
     
     
     
     
  • Outlook Express seems to set font sizes when the recipient receives the e-mail I sent.

    Hi again.  I should have added to my query on Outlook Express is shrinking the font size of my e-mail in transit that he can be a factor of parameters of beneficiaries, because: a) they seem to get normal size of other people's mail, and IT was tiny - in other words b) I received my mail of I belong to and posted something on a mailing list My message sent 12 points received by the same machine that I had sent the message characters of 7 points.  Thanks again!

    This is usually a setting on their end. If it looks OK in your folder, then there is nothing you can do. They need adjust the font size when reading in their e-mail program.
     
    If it looks small to your sent items, make sure that you have nothing selected for mails including 'white '.
  • Upgrade to Outlook Express and lost my English Dictionary have only French and I don't know how to retrieve or repair.

    I have a French dictionary and it isn't for a little help!  I am running Windows XP and I have updated to Outlook Express 6 and I lost my English Dictionary.  I went to options, spelling and dictionary and all what to choose is French.  At the same time I had fixed by someone at Dell. Then my computer had to be "setting back to the default settings" and when I loaded my upgrade he messed up again and I have to pay this time to have someone to help me.  I don't know what exactly I did to install English Dictionary, so it worked properly with Outlook Express.  What they had me has worked flawlessly. I hope that someone with the knowledge they can share with me!  Thanks in advance!

    [I did the following (below) and got this error: Documents and settings\rosa\local settings\temporary Internet Files\content.ie5\96J19EGQ\spelloe_setup[1]. exe is not a valid win32 application.  I don't know what it means at all.

    It takes you by surprise... one day (you probably noticed it today), the spell check dictionary in Outlook Express changed in French. You know that you has not changed anything in the program then, how this happened? But before I tell you the cause of the problem - you can read below - I'll give you the solution.

    As recommended by Microsoft itself, the best way to recover the English Dictionary in Outlook Express in French that you see now, is to use a third party program – a dictionary developed by another company. There are tons of these available, but we expect all first of all for the free options, right?

    View | Current view. Show all Messages is verified? If this is the case, then you have to do.
     
     
    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     
    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    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, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     
    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
     
    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:

    And see:

    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
     
     
     
    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     
    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 
     
    And backup often.

  • My Outlook Express to send sends multiple copies of the same emails at random - help!

    My Outlook Express has a small problem recently.   When I send emails - they soar in the Outbox and send 15-20 ++ emails to recipients and remain in the Outbox until I have remove them - this happens randomly.

    Make sure you have set it to break apart messages under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced.  Also check 3rd party interference, such as the antivirus program.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you still have problems, then move all the sent items in another folder and close OE and delete the sent items.dbx and outbox.dbx (hidden) and start OE files it will create new ones, and that might solve corruption.  You can also try to go to the file. Identities and setup a new identity and see if that fixes the problems.
