Hi, I use Outlook Express. Sometimes, however, in Control Panel / Internet Options / Programs it reverts back to Outlook. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how I can stop it from happening? Many thanks, Megan

Trying to connect a notebook computer to LAN. I looked through Services and did not find Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMPT) service. Since this service is for transporting mail across the network it seems it should be running. I ran Add/Remove software routine to load it onto the notebook and it is still missing from the list of available services. Is there a configuration setting needed? -- KC

If I am working on Autocad files, I have to be careful about how I move things or my drawing will lose the ability to find the other drawings on which it depends. I also have been known to mess up a file I've taken home from the network, therefore I am looking for a good way to do the following: 1. Take a folder from my network which has drawing and sub-folders in it - copy that folder to my local drive on the laptop to work on it over the weekend. This works OK now - copying an entire folder seems to preserve the relationship between files, so I keep all the needed drawings in sub-folders of the main folder for each project I'm working on. 2. On M…

Thanks in advance, John,

I noticed that all documentation for the SCROLLINFO structure (used with SetScrollInfo) just uses int or UINT for structure members as opposed to INT_PTR. Does this mean 64-bit Windows does not support 64-bit scroll values? I have an application where the scroll range and position could exceed 32 bits. Has anyone already worked out the algorithm to make this work on Win32? Thanks. -- Jonathan Wood SoftCircuits Programming http://www.softcircuits.com

Hi, Is there any way to clearly identify what brings the machine out of hibernation? I'm running Win2k3 SBS SP2, and my machine wakes up randomly after I put it into hibernation. Wake on LAN is definitely disabled in BIOS and also in the PROSet properties for my NIC.

XP/Outlook2003 Problem: Deselect Name in 'Other Calendars' does not work properly (keeps 'Selected Items'-font) Hi, and first of all, sorry for the excessive crosspost - but I think although the issue only seems like an Outlook problem, it might have something to do with the Display -> Appearance Settings in XP. The following thing happens within my Outlook (and is quite annoying): Calendar -> 'Other Calendars' pane. Select a calendar by clicking on a name or the checkbox -> the calendar is displayed correctly. Deselect the calendar by clicking the name or the checkbox again -> the calendar is not displayed anymore. But now, also the name is not…

If I am forced to reinstall Windows XP, is there any way in which existing programs can be made to work without also reinstalling them? In some cases, I do not now have the original install media. Thanks, Stephen

I have an old fashioned batch file I use very often under XP to do a backup of My Documents to a USB Flash Drive. It contains, among other things, this statement and works just fine and has so for years. xcopy "d:\My Documents\*.*" "U:\My Documents\" /D /Y /s I have added many MP3 files to My Music and there is not room for them on the USB Drive. Have tried to use the /EXCLUDE parameter tacked on to the end of the statement but cannot get it to work. I keep getting 'parse' error or 'Cannot find the files I a trying to exclude. Will someone help me exclude My Documents\My Music from the copying, please? Thank you.

In recent versions of Windows, the following order is used to search for a DLL that an application wants to load: 1) the directory from which the application loaded 2) the system directory 3) the 16-bit system directory 4) the Windows directory 5) the current directory 6) the directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable Prior to Windows XP SP2, the current directory was searched second (before the system directory), but that was changed for security purposes. But can someone explain to me how the current directory could ever contain DLLs that the program needs, if the current directory is different from the other directories listed above…

I have a BASS POD XT made by LINE6 and when i try to use its MIDI capabilities it says that it is not supported by this operating system at this time. I contacted LINE6 and they say they have no plans to make an upgrade tp this system at anytime in the future. So my question is - is there any way to switch from 64bit to 32 bit within this OS.
