Re: Idiot newbie question
Hallo Anna, On Mon, 9 Jun 2003 19:00:45 -0500GMT (10-6-03, 2:00 +0200, where I live), you wrote: A I hate introducing myself as a newbie Welcome to the list anyway. ;-) A About three times in four (though not in the initial bootup after A turning on the computer), when I boot up TB!, I get a message that A says Tasks are active; do you want to exit the program when A they're finished? That's weird, messages like that are supposed to pop up when you close TB while you're checking mail or sending messages and not when you're starting the program. Do you use any commandline parameters to start TB. Are you using a program that automatically feeds keystrokes to other programs? What OS are you on? What firewall and virus scanner do you use? When's the last time you checked your harddisk with scandisk? What connection do you use? Any proxy servers on your system? A Last night, I got this additional system message (The one with the A famous red/white X): Access violation at address 006DEF6F in Don't be bothered by this, unless it's occurring frequently A This is proving extremely frustrating to me. Can anyone offer A advice, ideas, or at least a broad surface to whack with a rubber A hammer? I can imagine. ;-) I hope this wall is broad enough to whack with any hammer you like. BTW You started your question as an answer to another thread. That's not the best thing to do for the following reason. The Bat is able to thread messages properly, in order to see what I mean, just select the folder where you're storing the messages from this list. Go to the menu: view - view threads by - references. Now you'll see that all messages are lined up after the message to which they're first, second (or whatever) level replies to. You started what's essentially a new thread by replying to another message. That means it shows up as listed in another thread. Since people sometimes skip messages in threads they don't consider interesting (for lack of time). They might skip your message too, since they're not aware of the newly started thread. So next time you'd do yourself a favor by sending a new message in stead of a reply, because you're reaching a larger audience and one of those might have the answer you've been waiting for. This is not not meant to criticize you, but only to help you appreciate the options TB offers and to be able to get more effect out of your efforts. -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hallo Allie, On Tue, 10 Jun 2003 06:20:10 -0500GMT (10-6-03, 13:20 +0200, where I live), you wrote: AM Roelof Otten, [RO] wrote: AM This is the second time I've seen Roel I must object against my name being abbreviated in this way. And I do so for two reasons. First: it's kind of sensitive, because my mother entered me as Roel on a new school (after we moved) without consulting me before. She liked it, I hated it and my dad didn't care. That was a horrible thing to do to 14 year old. Two years and a school later things were corrected. As for now only my classmates from 26 years ago are excused for calling me Roel. Second: another listmember calls himself Roel, so it's best not to mix us up by mutilating my name. g AM make this comment It was a rather short comment. I only typed 'thread' followed by Ctrl+space ;-) -- Groetjes, Roelof Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
