Text I do my tape backups of my documents on a Zip disk and read/write protect it. My home machine is XP and at work is Windows 2000. When I try and open up my files at work, it lets me enter the password to unprotect it, but then it won't read the disk. Concerns me that I wouldn't be able...

:oText I installed additional memory and did an upgrade from ME to XP on a friend's machine. Since I was not doing a clean install, I foolishly did not find out where he had his documents stored and did not back them up. After I did the install, I knew I was in trouble when I started up OE...

I have used Outlook for years to send a daily e-mail message to a group of about 35. About two weeks ago, I started getting the message "an unexpected error has occured" whenever I attempt to send the message. I can continue to send and receive all my other messages, just not the large group...

Having large delay time when entering keystrokes from my home computer to the network at work. Our network tech told me to reset my home network card to half duplex. What does that mean? Good advice? If so, how do I do it? Connecting via some network connection software where I can see a...

XP keeps giving me a message on the log-in screen that I have two unread messages- but I don't and I can't get the annoying message to go away. Any ideasText:o

I've been using password protection on my zip disks and have been having a problem where it won't let me unprotect my disk- says the disk drive is in use. It's not, so I keep rapidly hitting the enter key 10-50 times and it eventually unlocks. Is there a patch out there to fix this problem or...

null:o I've used Outlook Express for years but the last several days I've noticed when I receive new mail I am not receiving visible notification on my taskbar. My OS is XP if that's any help.

I recently changed my screen resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768 and my print screens are no longer sharp and clear. Is there some print screen software- preferably shareware- that will print higher resolutions and maintain clarity?Text:o

Thanks to RayZor, I have learned about the protect function for my zip backup tapes. But, I am having another frustration. Whenever I attempt to do a simple file copy or look at the contents of my Zip drive it keeps telling me to insert a tape even though one is already inserted. I'm also...

:) Thanks. I have QuickSync installed so it automatically backs up any changes I make to my selected documents. I'm assuming, then, every time I log in, I'll have to unlock the tape in order for my files to be backed up?

I back up all my documents which includes sensitive financial data to my zip drive. I have password protection via the login on XP to protect the files on my hard drive, but want one to "lock" my files on my zip disk. I've located a program, TS Lock, that would do the trick, but am looking...

I check my personal mail at work using Outlook Express to keep it separate from my work e-mail. Worked wonderfully until recently my employer installed some security measures keeping us from using their server for outgoing personal mail. Our LAN tech told me I could still check my mail with my...

per the original reply, will spamkiller work with outlook express?

Don't know if you can do it automatically, but you can always highlight your list and then do a data sort

I'm a CPA, so please keep your replies on simple level so a guy who only understands debits and credits can understand it. I've gotten really irritated about all the spam I'm getting. Is there any software, preferably free, that could be installed to get rid of this stuff? I use Outlook...
