When compacting OE in WinXP SP3 I get a message that OE has encountered an error and needs to close
When compacting OE in WinXP SP3, I get a message that OE has encountered an error and needs to close that he made and lost messages in at least one of the message files. I can retrieve messages from the backup files, but I can do anything to correct the compaction process?
The simplest solution is a new identity. File | Identities | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.
To help prevent that this happens in the future...
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=903095After 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.
Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

Deleting hotmail contacts - why drop still appear when I start typing in an address?
I know how to remove a contact from hotmail from my list and was recently when a friend changed her e-mail address. Then, I created a new contact for her.
However, when I start to type the name of the drop-down list box that appears includes also the old address and details that I already deleted the list of contacts.
How can I get rid of the old details from this drop-down list?
According to the Windows Live team, there is currently no way to remove items from the list recently used in Hotmail. It is a problem that Microsoft is aware of, but as the yet has no solution. Here is a link to the discussion on the Windows Live Solution Center: http://windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?threadid=aaa56055-ec6d-482e-b5a4-76d766d56048&page=1.

I have the latest versions of Firefox and Roboform, as well as the last add-on.
While most of the modules are activated automatically that is not the case for Roboform and I have to activate manually whenever I restart my computer.This problem existed in the last few versions of both programs.
I use the latest version of the edition Home premium to Windows 7.
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Initially, I felt that as a relative novice, the solution was more difficult to implement than to live with the problem.
So I have nothing but the problem now seems to have righted itself.
Thanks for your help and both suggest cures.

the offending tab loading, (so now there are 2 tabs) and load the Web page.the second page of the tab is a Chinese web site (ip 142.4.108.73), it's the final investigation period to show.

Sounds that you have only the Google search bar and address bar is missing.
Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".
- Is he missing elements then open the window customize via "view > toolbars > customize.
- If a missing element is located in the toolbar palette and then bring her back in the window customize the toolbar
- If you don't see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette, then click on the "Restore default" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
