Re: [CGUYS] Outlook Express Problem
I checked the MS Knowledge Base and got some OE-related hits that looked, well, interesting. 1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917288: Error message when you open the Windows Address Book or you open Outlook Express after you install cumulative security update 911567 (MS06-016). CAUSE - Most of the time, these symptoms are caused by a corruption in the Address Book. Frequently, the corruption occurs over time in address books that were created in older versions of Outlook Express. Earlier versions of Outlook Express did not detect this corruption, and the address book functionality was not affected. After you install cumulative security update 911567, Outlook Express examines each address book file for corruption. If Outlook Express detects corruption, you receive an error message. 2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269777: OLEXP: Error Message: Address Book Failed to Load. CAUSE - The Windows Address Book file used by Outlook Express is marked with the read-only attribute. 3. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239135: Error Message: The Message Could Not Be Sent. Some of the Recipients for This Message Are Not Valid. CAUSE - This issue can occur if the Wab32.dll file is damaged. There's also a recently updated page on the System File Checker tool at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747/en-us. The /scannow option looks like the one to try, but since it could make changes, I would do a full backup first, just in case.

Re: [CGUYS] Outlook Express Problem
Well, I'm making progress. Tried all suggestions w/o success but found the root of the issue accidentally during the process. Outlook Express 6 only works when the user has administrative rights.

Has anyone ever heard of this and is there a solution/setting I am missing or is this a bug? FYI, I was able to uninstall/reinstall OE so that is not the issue.

Re: [CGUYS] recommendations for small business web hosting email ?
I agree with Tom that HIS.com is great (if a bit pricey). We've used them since 1996 and they are a terrific, reliable, local company, with good phone and email support. I've tried 1and1 and they are also good. I have dropped them in favor of bluehost.com -- they are similar. My experience is bluehost's support is more knowledgeable.

Re: [CGUYS] recommendations for small business web hosting em
Can anyone recommend a suitable supplier of web hosting and email serving for a small business that has no in house tech support and is entirely Mac based? No not a graphics business, just Mac based computers . I realize that web hosting itself is entirely platform transparent but tech support often isn't. A Mac friendly ISP is HIS.com I favor 1and1.com due to their good prices and many included services. Their online documentation is extensive and they answer the phone 24/7. Service has been great.

Re: [CGUYS] Tbird glitch
At Mozilla HELP it told me I should be able to bring up the Profile Manager and create a new Profile. I double click the Tbird icon while holding down the Option key, but all that accomplishes is that it toggles the Mail News groups window hidden and visible.??? My experience with FireFox is that keybpard gymnastics are often ineffective. I have to launch it via the command line so I can specify the switches. Pergaps TBird has the same issue. I also have some other minor but aggravating issues with this Mac and I realize that I will soon need to upgrade the OS or move up to a newer machine. Caution on upgrading when your system is not squeaky clean. Ungrade in place can make matters worse. Use clean install or archive and install to drive out the gremlins. I have a dual 1.8 G5 but the processors are not Intel and my guess is that a lot of the newer features will probably not work farther down the line. Leopard should work fine. X.6 will probably be the end of the line for you. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Antec KS188 re: case feet
A complete case on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Antec-KS-188-Full-Tower-Case-Beige-3-fans-13-drive-bays_ W0QQitemZ130180551416QQihZ003QQcategoryZ80166QQcmdZViewItem -Original Message- I know I am asking again. I contacted the company about the case feet problem. They sent me a set of feet but, they are the type that can only go on the bottom of a desktop case. I told them about the ones' I received and, they suggested I take some pictures of the case, which I did. They got back to me and, told me, my case is Antec's KS188. They also told me, that, Antec discontinued the production of this case several years ago so, I can't get it from them. I do find plenty of pictures and, discussion about the case, on Google but, I am not having any luck finding, discontinued parts. Would anyone have any idea, why I might be able to get the feet for this case? * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] Tbird glitch
John, I think that the best thing to do is to create a new profile. I've had some very strange bugs mess with Tbird and SeaMonkey [I usually use the latest beta with SM so I expect that, but my Tbird is the latest release.] There are probably damaged files in the prefs, but it's hard to determine which one. Migrating your old settings to a new profile isn't as simple as dragging you mail and settings from one profile to another. Explanation here, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Migrating_settings_to_a_new_profile. The main info about the profile data location is in the Application Registry in the Mozilla folder in your User Library. I've played around with this, since I've set up SeaMonkey and Firefox to share bookmarks, and I had Thunderbird and SeaMonkey sharing email prefs until the latest SeaMonkey release. Since I download new versions every few weeks, it's time-consuming to re-link files each time. Easiest way to access these files is to put the Tbird default folder in the sidebar, so you can find it quickly. I put an alias for both Tbird and Firefox prefs in my Mozilla prefs folder which is in my sidebar. The cache folder is on my desktop with an alias in my user library moz folder. Works for me. If you can't find the fix try the mozillazine, and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/. Might be a bug that's been reported in Bugzilla. Also upgrade to Tiger, but wait until Spring for Leopard. Keep your desktop and hard drive 'clean', i.e. no apps on your desktop, files in more or less appropriate folders, archive things you don't need right now. Panther is more forgiving than Jaguar. Tiger is more forgiving than Panther. Just don't throw everything on your desktop like my husband does, then wonders why his Mac failed to boot into anything other than ? this week. I break all those rules, including having my TBird and Mozilla prefs on a separate drive on a user desktop--works for me! Have fun. Betty I am using Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 on my Mac G5 at 10.39 Somewhere during one of the point upgrades I lost the ability to see any header info. Normal or all. Details here, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries, so you don't break anything. When you fix it, back up the prefs. About:config allows you to edit/change prefs in all Mozilla applications. Betty Thanks for the response Betty. I had changed all the references to headers to DEFAULT in the Config editor.There are more than you would think. I also ran disk utility to repair permissions which usually fixes most problems. There is no arrow at the top of where the header window should be, and Yes, I can see header info when viewing SOURCE. At Mozilla HELP it told me I should be able to bring up the Profile Manager and create a new Profile. I double click the Tbird icon while holding down the Option key, but all that accomplishes is that it toggles the Mail News groups window hidden and visible.??? I also have some other minor but aggravating issues with this Mac and I realize that I will soon need to upgrade the OS or move up to a newer machine. I have a dual 1.8 G5 but the processors are not Intel and my guess is that a lot of the newer features will probably not work farther down the line. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
