Not only does OE have such a setting, but Moi is considerate and sets it

Ahem! e. e cummings, despite his odd typography, was a very fine poet.
Databaseben, on the other hand, is no kind of poet at all. Nor are his
oddly formatted messages (which he always declines to explain) often
helpful to people.

Well, as I just mentioned in my other post, I think he once said something
about doing it for the (reading) handicapped, and just left it at that.
And there was no further explanation given.

maybe the line wrap
is set for something
like 20

In Forte Agent you
can adjust that
number.

I see you're using
OE.
Is there no such
setting in OE?

ok,

as you may know safemode
is a mode where third party
programs and drivers are
not allowed to operate in.

so in this mode, you have
complete control with
windows and third party
programs, drivers and anything
else you may not be aware of
does not.

however it is also vulnerable
as well, so safemode should
only be used for diagnostics.

to access safemode:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222

once at the desktop use the
system restore feature to
roll back your system to
a functional point in time.

then reboot and try using
your regular windows
again.

the repair process i mentioned
is a method that can replace
missing or corrupted system
files with the genuine ones
located on the windows cd.

therefore if restoring your
system via the system restore
feature still didn't help restore
functionality, then it is
likely due to missing or
corrupted system files at
the core of the windows
operating system.

keep in mind the differences
above regarding restoring
and repairing.

Thanks a bunch

1) how do I go and use a system restore point via safemode

2) Do you mean run Repair from the OS CD again?

Thanks for battling

Hi gurus

I have the following problems and I really hope that you gurus
can
help.
I was installing a new video card when suddenly the blue screen
of D
came
up, I put the original video card back and tried to restart the
computer but
always the blue screen came up, I asked for help and this was
done.

XP cd->repair->chkdsk /r->fixboot c:, this allowed me to boot
the
computer
all the way up and as you can imaging I was really happy, I
could see
all my
files and everything else( I know I promise backup will be done
daily). well
while everything looked fine I start to have the following
problems

1) I can not copy within my computer or outside.-> I right the
mouse,
click
on copy and then go to the folder or drive I want to paste and
the
paste
option is not present, if I drag and drop nothing happens.

2) Start->program->accessories->system tools->backup... this
does not
work,
nothing happens, nada comes up.

3) there are a bunch of service that dont start nor manually or
automatically.
4) Does this by any changes has to do with Registry and if so,
can I
get one
of those registry fixer software to fix this.

It seems like everything is a mess and I dont know where to
start
looking.-
here is where you gurus comes in.
This is quiet a challange as it seems like the frea... machine
has
live on
its own.


Thanks,tahnks a bunch for any help I can get gurus!!!
