Stuck and stuttering in Outbox

I use Outlook Express and every time I send an email with graphic content to an individual or group, she remains stuck in the Outbox and continues to be sent repeatedly until I remove it manually.  Any suggestions for a fix?

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:

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.

If this doesn't resolve the problem, follow these steps.

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:

Compact often as specified above.

And backup often.

  • Trackpad of MacBook Pro gets stuck and the screen freezes with pink and yellow lines

    So I'm really frustrated. I got my Macbook pro less than a year ago and Ive already had to get a bunch of replaced parts. I got my computer fixed as 3-4 weeks ago and they had to replace a lot of things (can't remember not what it was, but they had to remove all of the computer and replace some things that have been associated with the battery power /). Recently my computer did this weird thing where the screen freezes and pixelated pink and yellow lines will take right on the screen. In addition, the trackpad will be just stuck and I have to turn off my computer and turn it back on so that everything works. Someone at - he heard about something like that? I thought that maybe when I had my computer repaired they didn't replace not all properly? I did a check of the hardware on my computer (self-control an Apple recommended prior to an appointment at the Genius Bar) and he said that everything was going well. This poll looks like a hardware problem? Could this be a virus? Someone hack into my computer? I don't know, I'm just worried and frustrated :/

    Thank you!

  • Skype on Microsoft Lumia 535 freezes and stutters

    Hello dear Microsoft,

    I'm really happy with my 535 Lumia from Microsoft. Great phone, great price.

    Skype however (which is the preferred application) really bad though behaves.

    It freezes and stutters all the time.

    For example, to open the application, it takes very long. To see my recent contacts takes another 30 seconds or more. To type a message to a contact takes another 30 seconds and while typing, it freezes and stutters once again.

    Performance sucks, basically.

    We soon expect an update? This is a really bad situation, where Skype on other platforms of works like a charm, but Ms mobile platform, just sucks...

    I hope that this is resolved very, very soon!

    Kind regards

  • I got this after my laptop 'stuck' and I had to restart everyting = "Basic error of data that can be updated windows found 0 x 80070490"

    My laptop 'stuck' and windows wouldn't load, I had to restart everything (I'm not a technophobe!), on the fact that he told me that I needed to update back to 8.1.

    However, I could not do this as he told me that I had to update windows 8 first of all - but update will not work.

    What do I do on Earth?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/958044/en-us

    Windows Update, error 0 x 80070490

    Step 1: Use SFC system to repair damaged Windows files use System File Checker to repair damaged Windows files. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt.
    2. Run the command "sfc/scannow".
    3. Try installing the update again.

    For more information about the System File Checker tool, see using the tool File Checker system to repair missing or corrupted system files

    (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833)

    . Step 2: Run the DISM tool if the problem persists, use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to fix corrupt Windows Update errors. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt.
    2. Run the command "DISM.exe Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth".
      Important When you run this command, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are necessary to fix corruptions. However, if your Windows Update client is already broken, use a Windows install running as the source of the repair, or use a Windows side-by-side folder from a network share or removable media, such as the Windows DVD, as the source of the files. To do this, run the following command instead:

      DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth / Source: C:\RepairSource\Windows /LimitAccess

      Note Replace the placeholder C:\RepairSource\Windows by the location of your source of repair. For more information about using the DISM tool to repair Windows, refer to a windows repair Image

  • Beta 37 Firefox on Windows 8.1 has lag and stuttering during scrolling

    I recently got a new laptop, and since the minute I installed firefox on it there was delay when scrolling of Web pages. He seems not at first not too bad, with that there is some stuttering when I first open firefox, but it seems that more I am browsing the worst it gets to the point where sometimes I will start to scroll, and then a second later firefox will just jump to the bottom of the page. Internet Explorer and Chrome, that both have perfectly smooth scrolling.

    I tried several things to fix already, is that some of the things that I remember to try:
    -Disable hardware acceleration and smooth scrolling
    -Starting in safe mode
    -Complete reinstall with the new profile
