The Restore seems OK with the exception of Outlook Express which
"encountered a problem and needs to shut down" every time I start it. Also
Windows Defender cannot start presumably because it was disabled when I
installed my Internet Security quote a while ago -- which unfortunately was
uninstalled a couple of days ago when I upgraded it to the latest version.
Now with Restore to around a couple months ago, the older version can of
course not be restored. I'll just have to re-install the newer version the
exe file for which I have already got on my Downloads folder. So no problem
there. It will only take a few mins.
Only problem seems to be OE6+Quotefix which wants to shut down every time I
start it. Any suggestions here?
I guess I could try uninstalling Quotefix to see if that will cure the
problem and then reinstall Quotefix which I find very useful. Otherwise I am
at a loss as to what to do.
All other programs seem to work OK. To be honest I have no appetite
re-install Windows XP from scratch plus a score other programs.
I have already built an all whistles super Windows 7 Pro PC with a very fast
AM3 quatro CPU but haven't got round to installing any other software on it.
I just haven't got the stomach for that at my age. But in any case, I'd like
to keep my old PC going just in case. It's like my "First Love" I can't
abandon.. In any case I've got all my user files xcopied onto an external
hard disk, so no problems there.
And if you think I am mad about computers so be it. I love them in my
dottage. I learned to use computers and tinker with them after my
retirement. It was love at first sight, as one might say!
Sorry I am verbose but I used to tinker with typewriters in my younger days
writing the equivalent of a paper back every 3 weeks or so. Used to get paid
by wordage, as you can imagine. Bloody news. The actors change, well at
least some of them, but the main plots remain more or less the same. Did
that job for years! Had enough of news to last me several lifetimes.
So, what do I do about this problem with OE6 wanting to shut down every
time?
