  • I get an Error Message When you try to send emails. "some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details". __

    I get an Error Message When you try to send emails. "some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details".

    But it sends the message anyway... multiple copies, and she also is put in the "Outbox" in Outlook Express as if it is not sent.

    To stop the email to be sent repeatedly to the recipient, I erase it from the "Outbox" but a) you don't know if they really got it) b it is embarrassing for the receiver c) is this a bug I can fix it?

    Thanks for any help.

    You have a corruption of dbx file easily corrected.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    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 DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    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.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    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

    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 some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

  • Get 810 error message when you try to connect to the VPN using L2TP protocol

    Original title: L2TP will not let me connect.

    I am in Workstation 9 and in each virtual machine, I have an AD - DC (2K8R2Enterprise), CA and RRAS (2K8R2Enterprise) and my last vm is a win7 (they are all tests).  All are not updated, but the PPTP, IKEv2 work without problem.  The second server that has the CAs and RRAS is a member of the AD - DC server.  The Win7 is not on the domain and I have Win7 a client certificate.  I have ensured that the CA root of trust is in the user store and computer Trusted Root CA.  I have also ensured that the Win7 client certificate is in the user store and personal computer.  I get a 810 error message when I try to connect to the VPN using the L2TP protocol.  I have exhaustively studied this problem and I can't find a solution to this problem.  I also raise the functional level of the domain to 2K8R2.

    I think this should be a simple and easy solution, but where can I find the answer?
    Please help me.

  • I get an error message when you try to install PS CS6. Telling me missing file and I need to download the support Counsellor who no longer exists.

    Need help re install PS CS6, who disappeared off a pc users. I connected to Adobe and downloaded the installer. When I try to run the installer I get an error pop up. "We met the following problems Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem. "Such advice no longer exists! Help

    Hi PCBs % century 40,.

    'Download Support Advisor' is a generic error, and we need to understand what is causing the problem. Most of the time, its a problem with the download was not successful or downloaded correctly. So, in this case, re-download the software and do not forget to compare the file size of the file downloaded with the file on the server.  Download Creative Suite 6 applications

    Allows you to check in this case as well and make sure that the download is complete, if the size of the file is correct, to the install.log file.

    Navigate in the log files in one of the following folder:

    Mac OS: / Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers /.

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Installers\

    The name of the log file includes the name of the product and installation date, followed of ".". log.gz."the .gz extension indicates a compressed format.

    You can use WIN RAR to extract the 7z or gz file:

    WINDOWS: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/winrar-x64-531.exe

    MAC: WinRAR download and support: post-Télécharger

    Once unzipped, the log file is a text file, open the .log using TextEdit (Mac OS) and notebook (OS Win)

    Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the section - summary - for lines that begin with ERROR or FATAL and signals a failure during the installation process.

    Copy and paste this section SUMMARIZED here so that we can check for errors. Alternatively, you can analyze the logs yourself. http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/troubleshoot-install-logs-CS5-CS5.html
