When Windows XP is finished in April 2014, will I still be able to use Word? I'll always be able to use Outlook Express and Internet Explorer? Or they all will be unavailable?

I have Windows XP Service pack 3.

  • With the help of old Windows CD to install the optional component deleted Outlook Express and I need to get it back!

    We have received a Windows XP laptop from a friend and use Outlook Express for e-mail. We had a number of other things such as pilots with the laptop but not the Windows CD.  Then we wanted to reduce the size of a jpg image and I wanted to use MS Photo Editor to do what I then read on the Microsoft site that I could get by installing from any Windows CD.  Therefore, I used an old Windows XP CD from another PC, choose to install an optional component and chose as accessories to the next screen, ensure that all other options were struck down, assuming that so they would simply not be installed.  One of them was Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.  Instead of THIS the wizard DELETED Outlook Express and Internet Explorer.  When I tried to get him back by checking these options, asked me for the 2nd day of the original installation CD - which of course, I did not!  I have managed to re - download IE8 from Microsoft Download site, but of course do that for Outlook Express - and we don't have Office on this computer: (.)  Help!  (a) is it possible to reverse this process to remove/uninstall Outlook Express? (b) we now lost all our emails? (c) I already tried to go back to a previous good configuration, but that has not worked.

    Thank you in advance for advice, answers or help.

    First, make sure that OE has actually disappeared.  Go to start | Run and paste this and see if OE starts:

    "c:\program files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe".

    Including the quotes and see if OE starts.  Very often "withdrawal" OE removes just the shortcut to it.

    If this does not work, you can try reinstalling XP SP3 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/learn-how-to-install-windows-xp-service-pack-3-sp3), but you should probably uninstall IE8 first and then reinstall it later.

    You can also go to the c:\windows\inf directory and locate the msoe5.inf file and right-click on it and choose Install and see if that fixes things.

    See if that works.

  • Problems with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer proxy servers...

    I recently had problems with the above programs and their connection to the internet. I did not quite understand what was going on until I tried to connect to Windows Live Messenger a day and it wouldn't let me not connect due to a problem with the proxy server and important ports... And since then, I was not able to browse the web with Internet Explorer, download Windows Live, nor access the music store online for Windows Media player. Can someone help me with this problem?

    J2BJosh,

    It is important that you try some of the solutions provided Karena so that we can continue to resolve the problem.
    Here are some important steps to try I think solve the problem:

    Add-ons add functionality (for example, extra toolbars, animated, stock and pop-up blockers mouse pointers) to your web browser. While Add-ons can enhance your online experience, they can sometimes interfere or conflict with other software on your computer. Try to start Internet Explorer without Add-ons to see if the problem goes away. Here's how:

    • Click the button start , click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    If disabling all add-ons solves the problem, you can manage add-ons to disable all add-ons and then put modules only as needed. This will allow you to figure out which add-on is causing the problem.

    Open Manage Add-ons

    1. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the button start . In the search box, typeInternet Explorer, then, in the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

    2. Click on tools and then click on Manage Add-ons.

    If disabling modules does not resolve the problem, try resetting Internet Explorer to its default settings. This removes all changes that have been made to Internet Explorer since it was installed, but it does not delete your Favorites or flows.

    1. Close the Windows Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer.

    2. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the button start . In the search box, typeInternet Explorer, then, in the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

    3. Click Tools and then click Internet Options.

    4. Click on the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.

    5. In the reset Internet Explorer settings dialog, click Reset.

    6. When you are finished, click Close, and then click OK.

    7. Close Internet Explorer and reopen it before the changes take effect.

    Hope that helps!

  • I have 28 of Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 running on a Windows XP, I can "desensivise" the copy mode?

    I have 28 Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 running on Windows XP
    I'm compiling a list of www.thegazette.co.uk
    Sometimes the Explorer is slow, very slow, take up to five minutes to move from one page to another, but I can copy and paste paragraphs of her.
    Firefox is fast but splits a paragraph into small sections (sometimes a letter) and each of them as simple features pasta in Notebook or Word. I am so in five minutes a page after I reassembled things.
    My current compromise is looking in Firefox, then load the address of the page in Explorer solutions for the treatment of the paragraph.
    I can "desensivise" the method of copy of Firefox?

    I have the same problem when I try to copy the text, but all copies fine if I download the PDF file and open it with Adobe Acrobat/Adobe Reader. Try this if none of the cor - el or jscher2000 PDF viewers proposed work.

    To do this there is a button at the top of the image that the document is in (it looks like a sheet of paper with an arrow above). Click here and you will be prompted to open the PDF file or save it. You can then choose to open it with Adobe Acrobat/Reader or save it in your file downloads, in which case you can open it by clicking the download button (the arrow at the top right of the default browser window) and select it from the menu. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe reader, you can download Adobe Reader here.

  • When you send an e-mail using Outlook Express, I immediately get this message; "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details"

    When you send an e-mail using Outlook Express, I immediately get this message; "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details". Unfortunately, there are no errors listed below and the green bar is frozen on the screen. The message remains in my Outbox and repeated again and again sending. There is absolutely no record and file sent in my sent box. TIA - Ernie

    You have apparent dbx file corruption. A common problem.
     
    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:

    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.

  • I reformatted my computer with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9 that my MSN games are not installed.

    I reformatted my computer with windows 7 and internet explorer 9 is not my games .it installed msn, which I can do on this problem

    MSN games are not part of Windows 7 so when you reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 you have lost the. Depending on the type of game you will need to reinstall each game - this may mean to download again MSN. If they are browser based games simply to go to the MSN Web page for the game in the usual way.

    If instead of MSN games, you actually mean that games built into Windows 7 as Chess Titans, Spider Solitaire & FreeCell, then you can just turn them on by using the following method:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. find the entry called games & check the box next to it.

    5. click on OK.

    6 reset.

    If the games box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

    Always display the complete text and correct all errors when you ask about a problem.

    ISPS don't like people using their networks to forward mail from other networks.  The symptoms you describe are usually the result of not properly is authenticating with the outgoing server or the use of a non encrypted SMTP connection (that is, port 25 instead of 587 or 465 or whatever your email port provider requires for encryption).
