there are crude ways and neater ways to do this in XP. I use the applications available from:
www.jfwlite.com

the owner died and the site is no longer updated, but it is full of windows XP goodies, that are still quite usable and work quite well!

EBackup will make backupps of all your emails and your I.E. favorites, and DBCopy will copy out all your saved posts and the like to .eml files for you in batches.

if you need more info just ask

Thanks all!! You guys really helped me on this one.
I've seemed to have gotten the computer working with your help.

To complete, I went in to msconfig and noticed that "selective" start was checked. My other options were "normal" and one other one.
What should be checked?
That computer is XP home.
My second computer is XP pro and when I checked , all 3 options said "checked".
The main computer would only allow one option to be checked.

Another question.
I have, I think, an external hard drive to back up information.
I am able to copy the C drive in to this but, I am not sure how or if I can copy my e mails from Outlook Express.
When in O E, the options to copy to folders were for folders within O E.

So, how can I back up e mails?

Thanks again for all of the help.

Rich

Rich,


First, try starting your computer and hitting the f8 key until you get a dialog menu. Try booting into safe mode.

Check out the following microsoft article. It has several methods you can try, but many of them are advanced.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Hi all and a big help request.
My main computer seems to have frozen.
When I physically turn it on, I hear the Microsoft tune.
JAWS never starts talking.
My sighted wife says the hour glass on the desk top is not full.
I've waited for over an hour.
I've restarted and rebooted a couple of time and nothing happens.
The keys and even the mouse do not work.

I do have an up to date McAfee.

Any thoughts on what it is and what to do?


Thanks so much.

Rich
