  1. Hey Vile_DR, thanks a bunch, everythings back to normal now. I owe you man! Mahalo to the max!
  2. Thanks Vile_DR. I think I'm on the right track. It's quite late here so I'm going to get some rest and continue tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out.
  3. I use MS Outlook for email and FireFox for my browser. My problem is that clicking on any hyperlink in Outlook, doesn't seek out and open in FireFox. Instead, I get a "Locate Link Browser" window and I don't know what to do with it. The only way I can get the hyperlink to work is to Cut & Paste to my browser. If I set IE and OE as default browser and email, the hyperlinks work normally with IE & OE only, but I don't want to use IE and OE. The hyperlinks used to work regardless of which email program or browser was defaulted. Does anyone know what's going on? WinXP Home SP2 (build
  4. A tip/suggestion: Whenever you download a program, save the installer. That way if you ever have a problem, such as this, it's just a matter of falling back to a previous version. This is the way I do it: In the My Documents folder, I have a folder named Installers. In that folder, I have folders for each program; Firefox, Ad-aware, Spybot, Irfanview, etc.... In each of these folders, I have a folder for each version; Firebird v0.7, Firefox v0.8, Firefox v0.9, Firefox v0.9.2, etc... In each of these folders, I put the installers, and a Notepad doc. In the Notepad doc, I put all the important i
  5. I had the same problem as suzanne, tried to find the old version with no luck. If anyone has the url for the older version please share it with us. I'm currently at the mercy of Windows firewall and about ready to try zonealarm but prefer sygate. Thank you!
  6. I use "one click shutdown" with XPHome and it works well but where can I look to find the keyboard shortcuts? Thanks!
  7. ClocX is analog with "Hour", "Minute", and "Second" hands. It opens to the desk top on bootup, has a good number of skins to choose from, you can size it and place it anywhere on your desktop. The date can be placed on the clock face too! =EDIT= It's free so it won't cost you anything but time to try.
  8. Thanks Snaxe. Are the link formats here different from those used over on the G4 tech forum?
  9. Hey X-Cannon , try [L=ClocX]http://clocx.fi.cz/[/L]. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but I've been using ClocX for almost a year and like it very much. It's got many skins to choose from and other features I'm sure you'll find interesting. Enjoy! =EDIT= Oops!....don't know what happened to the link. Anyway just go to: http://clocx.fi.cz/
  10. How does one add programs to the "All Programs" list. Some programs I downloaded did not get listed there. Thanks
  11. Thanks a lot, I'll have her check the settings and let you guys know how it went. Appreciate all the help.
  12. A friend can't send messages in OE. They go as far as the 'Outbox'. She get's the following 'Error Message:' Error Message: Your SMTP server has not responded in 180 seconds. Would you like to wait another 180 seconds for the server to respond? Account: pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com(1) Server: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com She says OE has never worked and sbcglobal techies couldn't fix it so she's been using yahoo mail. I suspect the setup is probably not right but I don't know enough to be sure. Anyone have a fix? Thank you! She runs: XPHome P4 2.0 HDD 40G RAM 256 DSL sbcglobal
  13. I just began using Tbird 4-5 days ago and I like this one so well I've made it my primary email client. If you're familiar with IE or OE you'll feel right at home with Tbird. I've tried others including the new Gmail and have used OE for over a year and I vote Tbird. It's got everything OE has and more but you need to try it and decide for yourself.
  14. PM me your name and email address and I'll fwd to you. First come - first served.
  15. It was an intermittent mouse. Plugged in a new one and it works fine. Thank you everyone for all the help.
  16. Ok, I got the Browseui.dll file downloaded but I need help installing it in the right location. I don't fully understand the instructions in the DllDump.com FAQ. Thanks!
  17. I found this: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679 Going thru the checks under Resolution: [Q]RESOLUTION To resolve this problem in Internet Explorer, follow these steps: 1. Quit all programs that are running. 2. Click Start, and then click Run. 3. Type regsvr32 urlmon.dll, and then click OK. 4. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in urlmon.dll succeeded" message, click OK. If this does not resolve the problem, repeat steps 2 through 4 for each of the following files (in step 3, replace Urlmon.dll with each of the file names below): * Shdocvw.dll * Msjava.dll
  18. Well, the darn thing is acting up again working intermittantly. All connections rechecked. How does one go about checking/updating drivers?
  19. Not all hackers are bad or criminals some don't hack into computers to get credit card numbers or black mail people some hackers try to help companies out by finding weak spots in some software etc... I understand that but when M$ boldly issues an open challenge you know there are those that will try...and try harder. This is akin to erecting a big white guarded wall on main street then invite the graffiti guys to try and tag it. You know some will try. It would have been better if the challenge was not made.
  20. Looks to be a 9/11 scenario on SP2 only this time M$ is sending invitations. Who knows what can happen if all the bad guys get together on this one.
  21. Nerelda You're on the right track, I ran all the updated scans, checked, rechecked, set and reset all the settings that were suggested by all the good people here but it still doesn't work and no error messages appear. I didn't post a HJT log because no one suggested it so I figure it's not an HJT issue. ================================================== inihl8r Thanks for trying but that didn't do it.
  22. I first posted this problem on the G4TTV board but the thread was begining to go off-topic and off in different directions so I closed it. I'm posting here hoping for better results. I can'open any links in OE. Attachments open ok and everything works fine in IE. My default browser is FireFox. If I set default to IE, links open ok in OE but I don't want IE as default browser.
