Subject: Yahoo group messages
A few days ago my yahoo went nuts and downloaded 6 each of all my
yahoo emails from about a week past. And I started getting individual
emails from this group. I change my emails from daily digest to
special notice and I am still getting individual emails... Anyone
know what is going on? I changed to no emails to see if that will
help. If not I am going to have to unjoin. Thanks Annie

Hi, Foo:
On the serious side, though, I have a bunch of
computers and a bunch of hard drives and 2 copies of
XP Pro. I don't know which copy came with which HD in
which computer.
I have had no trouble activating any combo of
XP/computer/HD as long as I call Microsoft on the
phone and explain that a virus wiped out my hard
drive.

I have only had to call MS once for activation in spite of the fact that I
have reinstall from one of three XP disks that I now have. If you find the
XP seriel # on your machine and use that to activate XP it should work.

Hello, Annie,
If the moderator of this group can't "fix" the problem for you, go
into "Help", upper right, and ask the Yahoogroup guys about the
situation.
I use a yahoo email account that ties in with the groups, and have

Subject: Re: Real player question
If you rightclick all the video links, do they all start with
http://scopes.real.com
Try adding that to the Trusted Site list in your IE. Let us know what
results after you make that adjustment.
It also seems from what you are telling us that your antispyware software
may be linked to your problem. Perhaps they think that the site you are
having a problem with is not trustworthy enough or maybe notorious for
spreading adware or spyware. I know I do not like real player and I do not
like any of their products becoz of what they used to do, install spyware.
Perhaps they no longer do that but I just do not trust companies like that
to change their spots overnight.

worked fine the first 2 months then all of a sudden when I clicked the
audio or video links they can't be found page pops in.Maybe 6 or 7 of the
links work. My realplayer works fine everywhere else but here. I called the
site and they said everything is ok on their end. Friends and people on
other groups say they have no problems.Ive uninstalled & installed
realplayer with no results.Ive gone into the tools>properties on real
player to adjust how the realplayer reads a page with no results. Then all
of a sudden 2 weeks ago the site starts working fine. Then after a windows
or webroot spysweeper update the links stopped working again. It's got to
have something to do with the windows or
spysweeper update,but Im not sure how to attack the problem.I do have a
firewall but I acquired it much after the problem began.

What does that mean, did XP get reinstalled? If not then they were not
run. They will only have effect if they reinstall XP, probably by
reformatting the c: partition.

Subject: Re: Registry Mechanic
Registry Mechanic has gotten good reviews, however, my experience with all
registry cleaners including JV16 has been that they sometimes are a bit too
optimistic in what they identify as "not needed". The good ones always make
a backup though which allows you to undo the changes they made.
As MS do not include a tool/utility in WINXP to 'clean' the Registry, it
would seem that MS do not believe maintenance of the Registry is required
although I think they endorse System Mechanic (a Registry cleaner), so they
appear to sit on the fence.
A few words of advice when dealing with the Registry and Registry
cleaners:
Use a dependable backup program to backup your registry, do the cleaning,
reboot and test as many programs as you can. Do not make any other changes
to your setup until you are satisfied the clean-up registry does not cause
any problems. This way, if a problem pops up, just restore your registry.
DO NOT rely on system restore in this process.

Hi there Gordon,
I use Registry Mechanic v 5.1.0.224, and have never had any problems with
it.
The only criticism I could have is that it is more conservative than a lot
of the of the other registry fix progrmams, and therefore can sometimes
overlook
what might be considered a problem. This of course has an upside too, in
that it will never aggressively trash your computer. Sold by PC Tools which
is a well respected company.
It does NOT find "false positives" so any error it has listed, is indeed an
error!
I recommend it.
Registry First Aid version 4.1.0 (Build 707) (I think is the latest), also
has a good reputation.
More aggressive than Registry Mechanic, but I have heard good reports about
it.
Perhaps a member who is curently using it would care to comment on it.
Cheers,
John Lehn

Subject: Re: HOWARD PC SHUTS DOWN W/O WARNING!
It was casually mentioned a while back, but a VERY
good possibility is a bad power supply or a shorted
power connection wire. When there is a failure in
power output, (due to power supply problem, shorted
wiring or a failing component that causes a voltage
loss) the powersupply/computer will automatically shut
down.
If the heat seaking solutions don't fix the problem,
suggest the following as a fault isolation effort:
1. Check ALL the wires FROM the power supply. Make
sure none of them are pinched by some component or
there are no bare spots in the insulation of the
wiring.
2. If no problems in 1, disconnect the power
connectors to the floppy drive and cd/dvd ROM, or
slave harddrive. This might isolate a bad unit that
is causing a power disturbance.
3. If nothing in 1 or 2, and the heat solutions
didn't work, you may have to find someone with a spare
power supply who will temporarily install it for you
to check if that is the problem.
One final thought, did this problem start right after
you added some item to the computer? Many computers
use power supplies that are only marginally adequate.
If other units (cd/dvd drives or another hard drive)
are added, the undersized power supply will
intermittently give up--which shuts down the computer.
Good Luck.

Not all the con jobs come from technicians. I was
having a problem with the XP in my new(er) HP.
Contacted HP tech support (in India). Went thru all
the checks, and when he ran out of items, he told me I
would just have to do a complete restore of the OS.
His explanation:
"There was some static buildup in the power supply
that corrupted the OS."
Maybe he knows more than I, but as an ex-electronics
eneginer I never heard of that phenomenon. And of
course he had no real basis. I believe he was giving
me a pacifier explanation to justify a complete
restore when they had no other solutions.
