• Vertical line on the screen of the monitor

  I'm baaaack.  I swear to God, I don't do all of these problems - it just seems like it.  There is a line thin verticle yellow on my monitor that comes and goes.  I have a Dell Dimension 9150, 32 bit, running XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3.  (See? "I know in advance what you will ask.)   I recently did all the maintenance thingies I can think: Defrag, CNettoyez (including Reg Clean), analysis complete the system with Avast, and complete analysis of the system with Malwarebytes, start saving mode did not help, not more than coming back to a date prior to the restoration of the system. Thinking that it might be a hardware problem, I used the air compressed on the video card, and made sure all hardware connections were tight. What is expected - the holy water?  I think I might need a new video card. Waddaya think that?

  Hi, Daniel. Please check spam folder of your email to my email with a link to the image I downloaded by your request.

  I got your e-mail indicating that this problem had disappeared. Has he reappeared? Assuming that there, either in the above scenarios could cause the problem. It could also be the graphics driver. We will have to roll back to an earlier version.

  I had an experience myself with the latest version of my graphics driver the other day. I ignored my own advice and updated the driver in order to improve my Windows experience index. Not only the assessment isn't complete but, during the assessment, and after my screen would go black and I would get a popup stating the drive had stopped working. I reinstalled the earlier version and things are back to normal.

  You know how to contact me if you need me to look at.

• Setting IE/Live Hotmail as default mail client, so it responds to a click on a mailto link: link and not Outlook Express

  It is actually in two parts/problems; Maybe (probably) closely related.
  ... And it's weird because it used to work (weird especially when it comes to problem no. 1 b).

  Problem # 1
  When I click on an e-mail address embedded (a mailto link :) in some (.doc .rtf, .html, etc.) I opened, I want to have the system open IE, connect me to my Windows Live Hotmail (http://mail.live.com/...) account and open the new page/screen e-mail message.) He used to do this. I have somehow messed up things upwards; How I know not (duh). Instead, it will now fire a new Message Outlook Express 6.0 dialog box.

  (1) I'm under Win XP Pro SP3 with all the critical updates installed.

  (2) I have a hotmail.com account and the system has my saved credentials.

  (3) I have Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Mail is installed.

  (4) I have Windows Live Messenger is set up (under the menu item Tools/Options/Connection tab) with:
  a. "automatically run Windows Live Messenger when I connect Windows' checked
  b. "'Main window open Windows Live Messenger to Windows Live Messenger startup' UNchecked '.
  c. "automatically open a session when connected to the Internet" checked

  (5) I have Windows Live Mail set up (the tab Tools/Options/connections point menu - sign in to Windows Live services section) to "Stop signing In" - i.e. the "Sign In" button is enabled and the 'Stop Signing In' button is disabled (because it is already selected)

  This configuration (4 & 5) is so when I right click on the Windows Live Messenger icon in the system Notification bar and select 'Mail box' in the menu contextual, Messenger opens IE to my Hotmail Live (http://mail.live.com/...) account, sign me and puts me in my Inbox as opposed to the opening of the Live Mail client. No problem, it's what I want. The only time where I use the client Live Mail is when I have to compose an e-mail with pictures incorporated into the body of the message (which is rare), and then I manually start it (Live Mail). This can be done using IE/Live Hotmail; I can only attach photos there, not incorporated the. That's how my system was config support when you click on a mailto link: link would open up IE/Live Hotmail and not Outlook Express.

  In addition,
     
  (6) I have:
  a. under the radio button "Use my current e-mail program" Set Program Access and Defaults/Custom is selected and have the box "enable access to this program" UNchecked for Outlook Express (I also tried uncheck the 'enable...) "for Windows Live Mail - no change.

  I then tried...
  (b) in "Add/Remove Windows components" untick the Outlook Express check box. I then let XP run installation and rebooted.

  The reason why I did 6 b is to see what tracks if Outlook Express is not installed.
  Now, where is start to get weird and brings me to...

  Problem no. 1 b
  Outlook Express 6.0 (OE6.0) be uninstall under XP Pro/SP3 and if so, how?

  After step 6 b restarts, I open a file with a link to e-mail built in, clicked on it and now it opens nevertheless OE6.0
  So I open Win Explorer and of course the folder as c:\programs\outlook Express is still there and complete with all files .dll, .exe, etc..
  Now I'm really scratching my head! I know I said XP installation does not install Outlook Express.

  So now I decide to play with fire...
  I open the upward Task Manager to see which runs when the new Message of OE6.0 dialog box is in place (this is msimn.exe)
  So just to smile and laugh, I msimn.exe and rename it to Xmsimn.exe, go back in the file with the link, click on it and what's going on, you guessed it, OE6.0 is running! I switch back to Win Explorer, and the renamed file is still there, but now IS msimn.exe BAAAACK!
   
  Now, here's where it comes down right spoooooky. I created a new folder in C:\Programs\Outlook Express, all of the files selected in the C:\Programs\Outlook Express and drop them in the new folder. And then looking at the contents of the Outlook Express folder in the right pane (which is now empty other than the new folder), one by one, all the files OE re - APPEAR in the OE folder.
  WHAT IS PAST WITH IT!

  All the files that I moved to the new folder are still there, including the renowned Xmsimn.exe.
  It is as if the system will not let you remove the OE components and withdrew them a .cab file, somewhere, even if I said do not install Outlook Express!

  Now, this problem is really secondary to # 1 has. I don't really need the answer, he just freaks me the system is something like this and I would like to know how and why of it. I use any OE 6.0, it's just take disk space.
  (I even uninstalled my installation of MS Office Outlook)

  And I don't like how # 1a is resolved. I am quite able to pull the top of RegEdt32 or what is needed to fix it (after backup the registry and/or a restore point first, of course.)

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,
  Paul

  Well, I found the answer to problem # 1 to myself.
  Somehow the IE Tools/Internet Options/programs Internet/tab setting programs section e-mail field has NOT been defined. It was empty.
  I put it to "Windows Live Hotmail" and BINGO! Click on an embedded mailto: link and pops up a new IE window connected to my Hotmail account, open electronic 'Composer the Message' page with the To: field with the link I clicked on.

  Now if only one of you gurus out there can answer problem # 1 b (can Outlook Express 6.0 (OE6.0) be uninstall under XP Pro/SP3 and if so, how? -see my OP) I'll be in sleep with nightmares of moved files reappear magically in an empty folder!

• printer crashes after printing 1-2... stuck in the queue of work

  Just installed HP printer and have a recurring issue.  I can send 1-3 print jobs to the printer and print correctly.  Then, the next task will be stuck in the queue and I can't remove it.  If I restart the computer, the print job goes through then the computer restarts... allowing me to print a few pages before it crashes again.  I tried the process step 10 HP to resolve problems printing, but in vain.  I am running Windows 7 and it's a HP LaserJet aio color 200 printer.  Using a USB connection.  Thanks in advance.

  I'm baaaack!

  I finally got this printer to work by uninstalling the software once again, then set up to work wireless.  Not sure if reloading is or if there is a problem with the USB cable...
