Anybody know how to save bulk Outlook Express E-mails for later viewing?
I swear there is some code in windows like the folowing.
$works 'if unsaved work=less then"1000k" then crash="false" else "error message~" <crash>
Another anoying feature when an inproper shut down ocurs in xp is , there is no scann disk, just an un-responding computer for about a minute after re-start.
I can print off everything else, but if i need to print off internet i have to email the page to myself!
For backing up OE stuff, look here [support.microsoft.com]. Doesn't specifically mention XP, but I'm pretty sure the locations are unchanged from W2K.

You bought Windows XP. You are a dummy.

Serriously, I would not run any MS O/S that does
not have at least 2, and preferably 3 service packs behind it.
W2K is your best bet.
Windows XP is so good we are upgrading our entire office from Windows NT4 to XP this month (I am in charge of the project and made the decision as to which OS to move to). Almost 1,000 machines.

If anyone is thinking of switching away from WindowsXP, the Linux distros are now looking very good, espcially Redhat8, and Xandros (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/27742.html)

Yep, that's the way it works. Thank God for cd-rw.
Mat, thanks for the help. It should work but doesn't on my computers. In fact, I've never been able to make that work properly. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Nahhhh, it's Microsoft's fault.
Anybody care to help me sort through 12,000 e-mails for the important ones? ;
Not to mention plenty of techies who sit around all day doing nothing.
I run the whole company, 1,000+ workstations and several hundred servers, with a staff of 7 support people plus me. we are very busy. But windows has been remarkably stable for us. It performs well, and the ROI is much better than *nix - for our shop.

But yeah, XP Pro is my OS. Almost makes me want to be just like Ellen Feiss. Except of course for the fact that she looks like she smoked her paper instead of her dad's PC eating it. ;)
Yeah, I use Linux too, and it can be a pain in the arse. Looks like Mac or Win2000.
Some Linux company has to build a distro and write their own software to port software to be able to be synchronized. For example if you boot windows, click on the internet explorer icon, the system detects that the browser is trying to access the web, it knows that there is no active connection and opens the dial up dialog box. With Linux there is no compatibility between applications to the extent that windows has.
On the other had I am sitting now using an almost brand new system. Linux is running on a very old box, but I am still drawn to use it a lot. I think one of the appeals of Linux is that there really is so much more you can do. With a Linux distro you will never use all of the features and add on software that came bundled with your distribution. It can be an adventure just looking about on your system to se what you can find.
Lotsa fun...
Somewhere in the control panel is a check box to turn off this helpful feature. As I said above, I'm back to Win2K (after 6 months with XP) and am extremely happy - not one single crash. There are all sorts of issues tied in with XP/APCI/hibernation, and they would fit in with your description, but you really don't want to go there.

Hmmm...kind of like the harmony in the USSR...? My opinion is that if you want to pay $$$ to Bill for an OS that crashes, use XP. If not, use a linux distro.
And I also use suse linux.
Only problem: There's an occasional oddity booting up for some reason, I've had it complain about missing critical files, but just hitting the reset button removes the problem.
Bells & whistles can (and should) be turned off. Speed is not worse than Win98 on my old P2-400. Never loved an OS more :)
