    - Store folders When installing, most settings seem to be picked up and used when switching from OE to Live Mail. But storage folders are not. If you store your mail and messages on another drive or partition, you will need to make that change manually. You will need to show all menus/then Tools/Options/Advanced and click on the Maintenance button. You'll find the generally familiar OE options.

    - typing replaces text-fix Noticed that typing was replacing text and could not find the reason or mention in the FAQ on how to fix it. The fix, open a new message, on the format menu [show all menus first step] then under Format, select Encoding, Western European Windows, ISO is the default and the typing replaces text. Suggest that searching for Help with typing as a keyword should point to this fix. Tag: "Add A Printer" Wizard Cannot Locate Network Printers Tag: 323400

    - XP - SP3 From PC Pitstop:- On Wednesday, May 7th 2008, Microsoft released the long awaited Windows XP SP3. Almost immediately hundreds of users registered complaints ranging from complete crashes to looping reboots. Similar problems have accompanied previous service packs and are usually the result of conflicting software. Now, a few days later, it's known that many of the reports are specific to HP Computers with AMD processors. Copies of Windows intended for Intel-based machines were used by OEMs on AMD-based computers. According to Microsoft the blame sits squarely on HP and possibly other OEMs Jesper Johansson, a well respected MVP in Windows Security, has been helpful in identifying this problem and was quoted in a May 12th Article from Gregg Keizer of ComputerWorld. "The problem is that HP, and possibly other OEMs, deploy the same image to Intel-based desktops that they do to AMD-based desktops". Many of us already know the problems associated with installing the wrong drivers on a system and this is exactly the same situation. Thankfully this problem is restricted to HP desktop models and does not affect their laptops.

    - Unable to Enable Automated Updates in Services After updaing my PC's with the SP3 I am consistently getting the red shield telling me to turn on my automated updates. This is true as well with Onecare making the same statement. The SP3 also has deleted my restore history making it now impossible to restore to a certain point any longer. I now have to setup a new restore point which really pisses me off. Even after the many and frustrating attempts to follow Microsoft Self-Help Options and Solutions I find that there is nothing short o a fix apparently. I have gone into the SERVICES and manually made the selections accordingly and all I get is: (1058 Automated Update Disabled and/or has no enabled devices) or (url://c:\windows\system32\mmcndmgr.dll/views.htm). Regards to the first: No duh, you cannot enable it, How much more redundant can MS get? Regards to the second: Well, so redundant that they can't even allow a simplified means to correct something they allowed their programmers to totally screw up. Has anyone had this problem and if so, have you been forunate enough to gain access to a fix? This issue has occured on both of my WINDOWS XP PC's and my one and only VISTA Professional PC. Thank you in advance for all you can provide to these issues. -- Bill Tag: "Add A Printer" Wizard Cannot Locate Network Printers Tag: 323353

    - Postscript Fonts -- VERY DESPERATE! Finalized a catalog at home in CT -- client has urgent beyond-final-minute changes and I'm in FL so I asked my son to FedEx down a disk that has everything on it, including fonts. TrueType fonts are no problem. But trying to install PostScript fonts I'm getting one of two error messages: 1. "Unable to install the font. File <FONT> is either invalid or damaged." OR 2. "The copyright holder of <FONT> will not allow their font to be converted to TrueType. Please contact the font vendor for more information." I've never had this happen doing this catalog before and share the fonts with the printer all the time to mass print. If I can't figure out what the problem is in the next hour or two I have to fly home tomorrow from this beautiful Sarasota to the Northeast and I'm begging for help!!!

    - No desktop at boot Running windows xp home with sp2. When I boot the machine it comes to the desktop but no icons are present. The same thing happens if I boot to safe mode. I can do ctrl-alt-del and get the task manager. from there I can pretty much run anything I want. When I look under the processes tab explorer.exe is not present. If I enter the command to run it, I can see the desktop bottom tollbar flash for a secone and then go away. It is as thought explorer.exe turns off as soon as it turns on. Will re-install windows if need be, but really don't want to go through the process if not necessary. Are there any other solutions out there? Thanks! -- kah Tag: "Add A Printer" Wizard Cannot Locate Network Printers Tag: 323338

    - Dell Dimension E521+Windows XP MCE 2005+SP3 Experience *** This message has been REPOSTED not CROSS-POSTED in Both MS Newsgroups and the Dell related Newsgroup *** Sorry about that, but I use two (2) different News Servers. To anyone interested, Before you do a SP3 upgrade, I can't stress enough, that you should purchase a backup or imaging program like Acronis TrueImage, (version 10 or higher should be your choice.) Make a backup/image of your current OS, so if you have problems, you can easily return to a working copy of your OS. Saves allot of grey hair, and headaches. If you have the following Dell PC (or other similar models) with an AMD Processor, and using the image that was installed by the factory, you may have run into the reboot problem that occurred after installing XP SP3 update: (My Configuration) Dell Dimension E521 AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2 Ghz 3 GB of RAM 80 GB Primary HDD 500 GB Secondary HDD Windows XP MCE 2005 Using the restore image from the factory/hidden partition. MS LifeCam VX-6000 Windows Live Messenger (current version) There is a fixed mentioned on the net to change a registry setting in XP, before trying to install XP SP3. This did not work for me. After making a backup of the keys listed below, I deleted/removed the following registry Keys: 1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\intelppm 2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\intelppm Or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00X\Services\intelppm (Random ControlSet #) These keys will have a reference of: "DisplayName: Intel Processor driver" Dword: Start Value: 4 (Hex) (This value did not work for me.) I did not have to remove the following keys, because it referred to an event log. The upgrade worked, and I left the keys there in the registry. 3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\System\intelppm 4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\Eventlog\System\intelppm After the upgrade, things may still be a little sluggish still, I found that I had to remove, then reinstall, or upgrade several IM programs, digital/web cameras and their drivers/programs, some Dell Hardware drivers, etc... I also upgraded from MS Media Player 10 to 11. Do these changes after the SP3 update not before. Also do another Microsoft/Windows Update check. -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) <message rule> <<Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate>> Tag: "Add A Printer" Wizard Cannot Locate Network Printers Tag: 323325

    - windows media player The question that I have is that when I author a DVD and use Windows Media Player to play the disc there is no title or track information available. The only information that I can find is in the privacy statement regarding Windows Media Player, "When playing a DVD, Windows Media Player attempts to locate information associated with that DVD, such as the DVD name, title names, chapter names, director name, and release date. This information is added to the overall list of information that is kept in the Media Library. To obtain this information, Windows Media Player sends a unique DVD identification number to WindowsMedia.com. No personally identifiable information is obtained or stored during this transaction." So, how would I get the information on to WindowsMedia.com in order for Windows Media Player to download it? I hear that there may be a way to physically mail a copy of the DVD along with the information that I need in Windows Media Player but I do not know where to send it.

    - Failure to Hibernate after XP3 install This is a repeat of a query posted under a different title. Maybe here it will get more attention. And yes, I posted it in Tech Net.

    - Configuration utility message I have been having the configuration utility message come up on my screen everytime I boot the computer. I've tried starting in normal mode after being requested to do so because it states that I am in selective/diaognostic mode but that doesn't do anything, it keeps coming up no matter what, even after rebooting several times. As to the operation of the system, it's fine and I don't believe that it is in the mode the the message says. The problem seems to have started after having a support technician taking remote control of the system to do some trouble shooting for another program (HP). Do you have any ideas about fixing this problem as it is very annoying. Unfortuneatley the remote control link that he established was interrupted and he never finished what he was doing and I was unable to get back to him. He made some changes that included deactivating all microsoft services which is all that I remember him doing while he was trouble shooting the HP program. Could the system still be recoginizing him as the system admin. and not allowing me to make necessary change to configuration utility to stop this from coming up everytime I reboot? -- rds Tag: "Add A Printer" Wizard Cannot Locate Network Printers Tag: 323309

    - Explorer Problems I've been having a problem that I associated with IE7, but it might actually be with Windows Explorer. It takes up to 3 minutes for the box to come up when I add a Favorite in IE7. This usually only occurs when I haven't been on the computer for awhile (I keep it running) and it gradually gets faster, getting down to 30 seconds and, in rare cases, one second. (It always took one second or less with IE6.) I've also noticed that the Created date gets updated when I click on the shortcut and sometimes the date gets updated without me even clicking on it (i.e., I sort by date and a shortcut shows up at the top that I haven't viewed in some time). Has anyone else experienced these anomalies? I'm running Windows XP SP2. Bob Tag: "Add A Printer" Wizard Cannot Locate Network Printers Tag: 323224

Please visit the following KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888372. If this does not work I suggest the following procedure that has worked for me, Let â??Automatic Updateâ?? perform the installation. Run the setup from the download location. After installation, the Startup reg. key will be set to 1. If you are running a platform other than an Intel based system then you may have to set the reg. Key to 4 prior to installation. FYI reminder: reboot the pc after any reg. changes. WARNING!!!! If you do not know how to edit the registry have someone help you. You can cause some serious problems if you do not know what you are doing. Reference the â??How to back up your registryâ??, in Help and Support.

Yes, the firewalls have been enabled properly, and Yes, the network printer
on the other computer is set for sharing. The Add A Printer wizard just hangs
displaying that there aren't any printers to display and a status message
that "Documents Waiting". It will stay in that state permanently. If I
continue it will tell me that I need to enter a valid printer name. That
doesn't work either. Any suggestions that you might have would be greatly
welcome. Thanks!
