TOK, sorry about that, not sure how I got that wrong, can you post the exact deatils of the message you are getting and I will try and investigate a bit more.

Have you updated your OS recently using Windows Update?

Spaceman - Everything up to date. The message, now from memory, seemed the same as referred to in your link, except that the problem was with mshtmled.dll rather than mshtml.dll. I'll post again when (and if) it pops up again. Regards, TOK.

Oh dear, there it goes again. "MS has encountered a problem with IE and needs to close" As before, the problem is with mshtmled.dll. At the time I was logged on here, over the road and was running a Synergy portfolio.

TOK,

Find the file mshtmled.dll on your machine, right click on it and click properties.

You should see a version number and details of the DLL file. If you dont, then that DLL file is corrupted. If it is, then you can get someone to email you a working version.

Ive had similar problems with this in the past, and it was due to corrupted dlls.

Hi

Toshiba Tecra Laptop.

I don't know if this a problem, but there is definitely something wrong with my PC. I launch say Word (or any other app) and it will not start until I have managed to bring up the Task Manager, but I have noticed that my Secondary IDE Channel appears in the "safely remove hardware" box.

Or is it my RUND32.DLL file that is causing the delay.

Also running in processes I have a "backweb-7288971.exe" which I can not remember seeing before.

Any help appreciated as the delay in launching apps is most annoying !!

Peds

backweb is for Easy Share software so not a problem there

Checked Rundll32.exe and appears to be correct size etc. So is it all down to the Secondary IDE Channel ?

TullettJ - Thanks for the guidance. Checked out the file's properties and they seem ok. Mmmmmm?

Are there any Outlook 2002 experts around?

In the Tracking Options I have checked the never send a reply in response to read receipt requests.

However, I have just discovered that if a spam mail is permanently deleted by one of my filter rules then Outlook sends a Deleted - Not Read receipt. This was not only confirming the email address to the spammer but the receipts header also contains my default email address, the name of my computer, the name of my ISP account and the currently assigned IP address. Outlook does not keep a copy of this receipt.

Can anyone suggest a way to: -

1. Stop Outlook sending these receipts? (I have already changed my rules from permanent delete to delete)

2. Is it possible to limit the information sent in an email header?


3. Is there a way of making Outlook store copies of receipts?

Optimist, strange, but you can always change the rule to put the messages into a separate folder and then delete the messages once in a while. That is better anyway in case your rules catch a bona fide message.

Thanks Kayak

I've changed my rules to normal delete which is effectively a move to the deleted folder and does not generate a receipt.

It's annoying that something that is supposed to deal with the junk mail ends up giving the spammers even more of your details but I should expect that from Microsoft.

When the Norton FireWall is enabled I am unable to access level 2.
Can anybody help please?

I have recently fitted a Matrox P750 for three screens @175 from Komplett. It is really a poor mans parhelia but since I don't play games etc on my trading m/c I don't need 256mb in a graphics card. Very happy with it and very easy set up and I would recommend it.

Regards
Rob

PS there is a thread discussing graphics cards started by boyse

d2000, re the DVI part of your Q, DVI is a fully digital interface which means that monitors and cards so equipped can pass signal directly in the digital domain. The Analogue connections (D25 connectors) translate the signals in the PC into Analogue before displaying it on the monitor. For TFT panels there are considerable potential benefits from staying in the digital domain, the geometry will be perfect and the colours should be more accurate and the performance can be better. However for most users these differences may not be noticeable. For users who are colour critical and who profile their monitors DVI is very nice. Some day most monitors will work in the digital domain.

DVI connections are normally longer and have what appears to be a cross at one end, however some manufacturers use different versions and the DVI connector on Graphics cards can carry analogue signals as well so many (most) DVI cards can handle Analogue as well.

Thanks guys, I'll look that card up.... and thanks for the DVI info, spaceman

Morning all,

I have just installed Norton Firewall on my pc and need to set it so that I can receive moneyam streaming services.

Does anyone know a way I can do this?

Thanks in advance

I am looking for a decent isp.

Fed up with Freeserve - basically I can't run enough internet explorer windows without them falling over.

Am currently on the aol trial - the stability is fantastic - I can run anything I want. However, today I have discovered they do not support internet connection sharing which seems unbelievable in this day and age.

Broadband not available here - don't think it will be for another 2 years and even then I'm too far from the exchange.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

My problem first:

Today I have received 8 e-mails most purportedly from Microsoft or similar containing upgrade information, and all contained the w32.Swen.A@mm virus. Becoming a pain as I received several yesterday, same sort of message, same virus. Whilst Norton picks it up it's a pain. Each message comes from a slightly different name eg MS Network Mail storage, Microsoft Security Centre etc etc. How can I continue to receive genuine stuff but not have these e-mails sent? - it's taking me twice as long to receive my e-mails at the moment.

CC - I use Onetel, very reliable, sometimes can't get on in the middle of the evening but otherwise very good.

Seymour, the only thing you can do is to check the email address it is being sent from and get them to clean up their system (as they are infected). Right click on the message in Outlook, click Properties, then Details tab. The first line starting Return-Path should contain the email address of the sender. You will probably find that it is the same for all the enmails. I don't believe that this particular virus spoofs the Return-Path address, although some of the later ones do.
