Outlook Express is configured to download a minimum of 300 *unread*
headers. Some other newsreaders (such as Dialog, which I use) can get a
specified number of "sample" headers, which you can set yourself. In OE,
unless you have marked the group as read, the program will continue to feed
you a batch of 300 headers, until you mark it 'Read' or 'Catchup with
selected group'.
If you prefer to read the group through Google Groups, as another person
suggested, I would advise you to use your Hotmail address instead of your
nic as a search keyword. It will return a safer list of only your own
postings.

You're welcome. In the future, it would easier to abbreviate Outlook
Express "OE."
And HTH is short for Hope this helps. :-)

I've been using hotmail to interact with this newsgroup b/c I
misunderstand
something. I have the directions to set up o.x. but the problem is

do not understand why about 300 of them pour in. What are headers
and why do
I need them? I only want to ask and reply to the newsgroup as a

The header merely contains the Subject of the post, its author, when
the post was sent, and how large it is. Don't worry about all the
headers
you see. It's normal, and you're not expected to look at every post!
If you have been participating in any recent threads, hitting Ctrl+H
will filter out all other threads; the only thing remaining will be
threads you are involved in. Hitting Ctrl+H again will take you back
to all the threads. You can toggle back and forth as many times as
you
like.
If you ever want to see threads you were a part of that are *not*
recent, the Google interface is probably your best bet. Just go to
http://groups.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg and in the top box enter
author:grampy pete
The default is "Sort by relevance." If you'd rather "Sort by date,"
just click on that link in the upper right-hand corner.

|

I am having same issue with my mom's laptop. It is older Dell Insperion but
was delivered with XP. First time I boot it runs for maybe 1/2 hour. Then
BSOD occurs at random and it begins rebooting automatically. (I will disable
auto reboot as described in previous post so i can read msg! ) Then intervals
between subsequent BSOD's becomes shorter and shorter. Until eventually PC
starts to reboot before it has finished previous boot up and goes into this
loop indefinitely.
I will post again with error msg on BSOD. Thanks
SGR - just your average Windows XP user :)

I am experiencing same problem. My laptop wont even complete booting up
before BSOD appears. It will run in safe mode though. Here is what My BSOD
says:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart yor
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is propoerly installed. It
h this is a new installation, ask you hardware or software manufacturer for
any windows updates you might need.
I f problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as cashing or shadowing. I f you
need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer,
press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select save mode.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0X000000D1 (0X0A2B001B, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0XF3E0F91A)

Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator (me LOL!) or technical support group (you
guys LOL!) for further assistance.
Let me know if any of the above tells you anything that can help me resolve
my issue. I wouldl really appreciate it. Thanks.

It's impossible to tell you that specifically, since you don't mention
your
system or motherboard, or the name of the ethernet controller (if it's a
separate card).
If it's embedded on the motherboard, get it from the motherboard driver
set.
Get that from the motherboard manufacturer's website.
I can't find a download for the Ethernet Controller
anywhere, I got Windows XP Profesional SP2, I'm also missing Drivers

Bus Controller & USB Mass Storage Device, if I dont have a CD for any
of
these then how do I replace them, or make a new file of the Driver??
Ah. You haven't installed the motherboard drivers.
Identify your PC or the motehrboard (open the case and look for the
silkscreened manufacturer and model number on the board), then go to the
maker's support site and get the downloads.
My PC is runing through a USB Connection for the Internet, and I can't
get
it to run through the Ethernet Controller. PLZ HELP!
I have no CD's of anykind anywhere to re-install any of these drivers!
After you download them and get the system working, make a CD with these
files and store it with the XP CD.

Time / Tiny were reformed after the origonal companies went into
liquidation, from various google reading it would appear they have offloaded
all support to a seperate 'pay for it' Company. It would appear you would
have to pay £60 for disks, or any other support.
An option might be to try Belaric Advisor to see if it can identify the
motherboard on your system, as I assume the ethernet controler is on the
mobo, then visit their site for the driver.
Otherwise buy an ethernet card, less than £10 and disable, in the bios the
onboard ethernet, if you cannot, disable it in Device Manager

have bothered going to the site, but they dont have downloads for these
things, I only see computers to buy, its no good to me if I can't find
their
download page for these things i'm looking for. Time Computers only have a
site for selling computers, nothing more nothing less, they DO NOT have
download update drivers anywhere on their site. Now what I need is a
something to make the new Driver config by your self, re-write the Driver
and
hope it works, someway or somehow.
