• Outlook Express - will not let me delete any message

  Outlook Express will not let me delete all messages?  How can I fix?  Thank you!

  You have corruption of dbx files.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

  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 Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

  Compact all folders as described below.

  To avoid this 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=903095

  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.

  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:

• Windows Vista will not see Seagate 320 internal drive to format

  I bought a 320GB Seagate (7200 RPM) opportunity and I'm trying to install Vista on it. The computer BIOS sees the drive, but loading Vista it does not show the HD as an external drive and ask drivers for it. The disk has been previously formatted for Mac.

  Try to use SeaTools for Windows.  See also: Seagate Installation Assistance

  Please note that the hard drive needs to be internally mounted inside the computer because Windows Vista will not install on an external hard drive.

  Hey Brian39

  If you change the motherboard that you normally have to reinstall vista

  your hard drive if you ever reinstalled vista contains the drivers for the old motherboard etc.

  and if vista is pre-installed you can not put the motherboard unless you do so in collaboration with the computer manufacturer

  If a retail license, you can change the motherboard

  but you will normally always reinstall vista for reasons

• Windows 7 will not let me install my Kodak Digital Camera C875 camera.

  Someone can tell me why Windows 7 will not let me install my camera, worked very well in Visa, any help out there?

  Original title: Kodak Digital Camera C875

  The best way to manage old cameras that have compatibility problems is not to connect the camera to the computer, but rather to remove the memory card from the camera and use a desktop card reader to make transfers.

  If your computer lacks a built-in card reader, you can buy very cheap () USB card readers

  Thanks for the reply. I made the. Backup of files Wizard. At the end she asks 'Please insert the USB key' - I suppose to download files on an external drive.
