Hi
Ive read that any Hotmail accounts already created would continue to work in OE until April after then you have to pay.Is there any other email server that i can use through OE.I have a lot of stationary that i use with OE.
Ive tryed foxmail but got stuck with setting up account and not sure what to put in stmp and pop3.
Could someone help me out with both questions
Thank you

Hmm...I actually didn't even notice there were ads until now Shocked

They are very tiny, off to the side, and inconspicuous. Most of my emails don't have any. It seems all of my emails in Thunderbird don't have ads too. I assume they scan everything, but only serve ads if you check email through a browser.

Well, the notion of email scanning sounds sort of spooky, but I guess gmail found my Achilles Heel. My email for years (ever since I started using the internet) has been Juno, but they recently moved all free accounts to web-based only mail with 2MB Evil or Very Mad

. I hate using my school email accounts as primary since they will be gone when I graduate. If the scanning system is like Google says it is Confused

, and nothing more Rolling Eyes

, I guess I can live with that.

Thank you,thank you,thank you. Very Happy

Though im not sure about the $ though i dont know what they are Laughing

no only joking, i think it would cost me more than 5$ to send you the 5$ anyway we dont have paypal over here so im stuck with sending certified cheques or bank notes if i want to pay something overseas, it can be a pain. Anyway thanks again. Heather.

Thanks, i never open attachments in emails unless i know who its from. Ive got avast and AVG both upto date and theres spybot and adawareSE as well as spysweeper. At the moment the pc is spyware and virus/trojan free and i hope to keep it that way. While im here a question how do i disable 1 of the 2 avs so that only one is on start up and active at the moment ive got both of them on start up and to be honest im a bit scared to just turn 1 off, that sort of thing isnt my strong point. Heather.

Sorry ignorance online at the moment when you say real time scan what do you mean Question

wawadave · Posted: Thu Dec 30, 2004 8:01 pm Post subject:

ok when you install an antivirus program it watches your system in reall time mode and is actually scaning all running processes and scans emails and d/l,s etc. so if you have two of these running at the same time doing all these things at absolute best it will use up excesive system resources. at worst they will not actually catch a virus because there conflicting with each other. or seeing eachother as viruses.

Ok wawadave The avs tells me that the resident shield is loaded and all components are activated and heuristic analysis is active, the avast ive got the network shield and the standard shield on, my cpu at the moment is between 2 and 41% so not to bad. Do i need to change anything or can i leave as is. AVG is version 7 and avast is version 4. Thanks for the help heather.

wawadave · Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2004 9:56 pm Post subject:

when you installed avg did you install resident sheild?
its runing with avast if you did.
and only way to disable avg resident sheild is to uninstall it and reinstall it but don,t install resident sheild.
your lucky nothing has nailed you so far. you should only ever have one av set for real time running! ie resident shield.

BTW Bjerrk i knew you were joking really, but heh sometimes you just have to ask a question you already know the answer to.

So how long does an invite take to arrive by email then Wink

after all i emailed you the same day Laughing

i guess its the xmas back log thats holding it up Confused

daddy h · Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2004 10:14 pm Post subject:

Yeah both have got the resident shield on them i think i can turn it off on the AVG as theres a properties button which opens up and tells me all the stuff its scanning so if i uncheck all those things and apply that should shut down the resident shield shouldnt it?

wawadave · Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2004 10:50 pm Post subject:

you can try it. but you have been very lucky so far!!
i would go buy a loto ticket with your luck you wll win!!!!!!!!!

No not strange really, i guess i should have sent you my yahoo mail address These last couple of days i havent had any mail at all from hotmail ever since some scum bag hacked into my account and sent 150 emails with attachments, they were almost all undelivered and thats how i found out that some one had used my account, since then i havent had any mail so i guess yours got lost along with the others as trace says she sent me at least 6 in the last 3 days. Any way ill send you another mail from my yahoo account that seems to be ok at the moment. Thanks Heather.

daddy h · Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2005 9:32 pm Post subject:

I could but that would be gamling and thats haram (forbidden) here so i guess my luck just ran out Laughing

Thanks for the help i tried it and it did turn the resident shield off but when i came back to it this am i found that my dear other half had turned it back on again, im affaid its a losing battle trying to convince him that certain programs are ok and others not or that you should do this or that and not do something else, though i do keep trying, at least i won the battle of the av's Wink

he wanted all the fancy pay ones and i said they werent as good as AVG and avast in the end i got my way Laughing

Hi wawadave sorry to be a pain on this when i start the pc the folding program i DL yesturday comes up with an error which is cant create A GL Rendering context, Error= [1114] what does this mean and is the program working with this error or do i need to do something to correct it? Thanks. Heather.

Blinn · Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2005 10:48 pm Post subject:

that sounds like a rendering error. Check out your video card, perhaps your drivers are out of date. Is the F@H icon showing in the lower right corner? If the program is working, the number of frames done should be slowly increasing.
