Re: [Blind-Computing] Deleted folder in Outlook 2003
Glad you found it, but remember those folders aren't actually all that separate on the hard drive as such - they generally get stored inside a single outlook folder called something like outlook.pbx, under your user settings, etc. Glad you got it back anyway...

Re: [Blind-Computing] converting files
Almost sounds like some form of language/character set/encoding conversion, if you get my drift - that might make it show up as a bunch of weird characters, etc. If, using windows 7, in the start menu, you start typing language, there should be something like an option to set/change microsoft office language settings, and while I haven't looked at this as such, you might find something there - as in, just make sure it's set to the right language you want to make use of, and, preferably the same one the older machine was using - as in US english, etc. Alternatively, on something like windows XP, under control panel, there's an item called something like regional and language settings, but also possible office there also has it's own language settings - look under tools menu in word, for either an item like that, or in it's options dialogue.

Hi Lenny, I would be inclined to agree with you.

[Blind-Computing] ext hd power question
Does the power switch on the external hd drive do anything other than cut the power? Wondering if it triggers some sort of shut down procedure. I have been using my drive always powered on and controlled by a surge controller panel. The surge protector I use has switches to power on the computer, monitor, printer and accessories. In the computer power I have a power strip in which I have the computer, speakers and modem. and in the accessory I have the external drive. So I cut the power to the drive when I do not need it. Just wondering if this caused the failure. --- Please visit my home page, it is motivational, educational, inspirational with a touch of humor.

I definitely don't want to have a brainfart while in the Device Manager! I just want to disable the ports & restart the computer so XP will install all the USB drivers. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care.
