You should have exported your OE5 notes instead of just copying it then zipping them. Then you could have IMPORTED those notes into OE6. Like this (in OE5): Click on FILE/EXPORT/MESSAGES. Select to export them as SV files. (make sure to remember where you exported them to.) Then in OE6 you...

>>I can print from DOS to all printers except the Lexmark X215. I tried installing a different windows driver for the X215, but that doesn't work. It does the same thing. Thank You for your help.<< Apparantly your Lexmark X215 printer is a Windows only printer so somehow you have to...

I have XP Pro. The other day my HP6 laserjet started printing on two pages at a time. One page was blank. Then I could not print. I deleted my HP6 driver. Then downloaded the latest set of printer drivers from MS. I reinstalled my HP 6P printer and now it works perfectly printing like it use...

>>I have gone from win98 to win xp pro and would appreciate some help. I have a program on floppy disk that i use to create an image of the HD - as it takes forever to load i used to copy the files onto c and call the .exe from autoexec.bat << From your note I understand your program does not...

I had a problem with XP Pro always wanting me to type in my password even though I had remember password selected. I finally found a cure for that problem. You can access this menu two ways. If you have the on-line icon in your task bar right click on it. In the menu that pops up select STATUS...

Get rid of the Trident video card and go with the S3 card only. I can see zero reasons why you would want to have two video cards in the same computer. That defies all logic.

>>Note: You can also create new folders in Explorer, and drag and drop your favorites to organize them better << I have been doing that; creating new folders to place alike or similar favorites in a named folder. That makes a long listing of favorites more managable instead of scrolling...

>>what's wrong with chkdsk? (you know, the built in disk checking app)<<< Just typing CHKDSK won't do anything. The correct way is to open a DOS window and type: CHKDSK/F. Without the /F chkdsk does nothing. /F tells it to fix the errors on the hard drive it finds.

In the 80s when I had a DOS computer I had a program that could print all folders and files in each folder in sequence. That was not bad for floppy disk full of files and even managable on a ten meg hard drive but printing data from today's hard drives could fill up a hundred pages or more of...

I also had similar problems with Netscape and could not fix it. I finally uninstalled Netscape and started using IE6 and OE6 and have not had a single problem since then. Some versions of Netscape were buggy. Why don't you try to install a later version of Netscape and see if that works better...

>>my drive is e:/, cannot load stuff set for c:/ <<< You typed in a forward slash and it should be a backward slash like this: E:\ or C:

Sometimes an XP system can have hard driver errors and still boot up correctly or seemingly does. You should try this on at least your C: drive and any other partitions you may have on the hard drive. Open a DOS window. in the DOS window, logged onto C:, type CHKDSK/F then hit the Enter...

If any program does not fill the screen correctly then my solution works for me all the time. Every time you share the screen with another program quite often next time you run that program including IE it will open in the size you last ran it in. My solution is make sure no other programs are...

Just for information... I have XP Pro installed on two computers and I have no problems accessing MS Windows update site and downloading any updates. It all works as expected and is very fast with my DSL setup. Since the Windows XP update site works as it is suppose to then the only conclusion...

If you have GoBack installed try uninstalling it and see if that fixes your problem. Reason why I say that a friend of mine was having all kinds of problems with his XP Pro computer. Turned out uninstalling GoBack fixed his problems. May not work for you but is worth a try.
