Hi all,

does anybody know where Outlook Express stores the rules?
I want to transfer them to another PC.

Thank you
Lembit

Hi Lembit
Don't know if this is any use but Outlook (I don't use OE) stores them in a
.RWZ file in the folder Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook within your
profile's area of C:\Documents & Settings.

If I recall correctly, Outlook Express stores it's rules in the registry. 
Makes it a real pain in the butt to move the rules.  There are some 
utilities out there (Desktop DNA?) that automate moving applications like 
this.

I am being told that a new version of Windows Defender is available for

I'm  running AVG which I think doubles as a firewall.  So I'm wondering

IIRC, Defender is not a firewall, it is an anti-spam/malware/your fav name
here program.  And since no one product can catch it all, I'd say yes.
Especially if you are not running other anti-spyware stuff.

Only run it if you are not running a different real-time anti-spy program
such as counterspy, pestpatrol, etc. (which you should be running). Windows
Defender is not very good. If $15 is too much for a top notch program, I'd
recommend you use the free versions of Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware
in additional to it. You'd have to run a manual scan with them though.

I understood that they have changed the name to "OneCare".

Note that this must be pronounced with an Inspector Clouseau like french

A good friend of mine is in serious trouble. It appears that his Exchange/Domino server (one box running both) has been compromised. Looks like someone has got in and turned it into a spam server. Something is consuming 100% of the resources. Fixing this is way beyond my skill set. Does anyone have any suggestions that I can pass on? What to do? Shut down the server, re-install everything and start over? How to find the avenue of compromise? My friend is in big trouble, with limited resources, and he's a valued friend. I don't have any skills in either Exchange or Domino so I'm at a total loss and hoping someone here can give me advice to pass on to him.

Make sure for a start that it is not just Store.exe choking on a malformed message and 
running at 100% CPU.
Shut down Exchange, move everything out of the queues and restart.

Does anyone else using K9 get odd spells where it just seems to let

I unfortunately had to give up K9 when my ISP decided to crawl into
bed with MS and Hotmail for my e-mail servers. I had to go with secure
pop and smtp connections and K9 didn't natively support secure
connections. And I couldn't get the 3rd party tool that did the secure
connections to work with it.

Having said all that, when I used K9, I never had it have bad days
like that. Once it was trained it was upwards of 98% effective with
something like 7 false positives in the couple of years I used it.

Sorry no help I know.

Hi,
I have done a new Win XP Pro install on a clean HD
I have then installed Office 97 - only Access 97
then installed into a different directory OfficeXP: AccessXP, Excel, Word, 
PP, Outlook

while Acc97 works,

on the Office XP I get following problems:

AccessXP: a window opens and tells me wait till Windows configures Office 
XP...
then another window with a similar message and progressbar.
then its finished and Access never shows up.

on the other programs Excel, Word,.. similar windows show up but very short 
time only and then the application is there and can be used.

I have tried with Control panel - MS office XP - change - to repair and also 
to do reinstall, both left me with the same result.

any ideas?

thanks
Lembit

The usual reason for this is not doing an install from an admin account.
At least I have avoided anything like this by doing it from Admin.

General users do not have permissions to write to some registry keys
that are referenced by things like Msohelp.exe file.

Don't forget to add all the Service packs in order first
97 has 2, XP has 3.

Maybe something here

Thank you Marty,

I have a feq questions on this:

- is there a difference between a user with admin rights and admin account 
in this respect?
in my case there is only one single user on this PC and this user has admin 
rights.

- I tried to open Msohelp.exe. doesnt open ?

- I have SP 1 and 2 on 97.
on XP I am still in the process of installing all upgrades. on the last 5 I 
have problems to download/install them.

I am going through the links now

thanks for your help
Lembit

You will only see msohelp.exe running in your task manger list.
I have 2003 not XP on my machine with 97 and 2007
There should be a help file like this for Office 10.0
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\vbaac10.chm"

You might want to try running Belarc Advisor on this machine
and compare differences with a working machine.
It produces a boatload of info on the machine
A hardware list, a list of user accounts and which have admin priveleges,
a list of windows hot fixes, a list of software installed, a list of 
license and activation keys.
Unfortunately this will not list the Office hotfixes Maybe the pro 
edition does..

http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

open this file for report
c:\program files\belarc\advisor\system\tmp\(COMPUTERNAME).html
(where COMPUTERNAME is the name of your PC)

See Windows Installer FAQ:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/community/centers/management/msi...

Under "Troubleshooting" section, see:

"   Q.Every time I launch my application, Windows Installer performs an
installation. How can I determine the cause of the on-demand installation?

Maybe this way might help
Repairing Office Installations
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/assistance/HA011362521033.aspx

Look for  Office XP OrkTools.exe and the Removal Wizard
http://www.microsoft.com/office/orkarchive/XPddl.htm
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011362891033.aspx
------
I have been looking for a way to list Office hotfixes on a machine.
It can't be done easily through WMI
But I found this method for Office 2000-2003

Toolbox   The files for the Office Update Inventory Tool are packaged in 
two self-extracting executable files (Invcm.exe and Invcif.exe) and are
available as downloads. You can find this downloadable file on the 
Office 2003 Resource Kit Downloads page. On the Downloads page,
search for Office Update Inventory Tool Version 2.2. When new Office 
updates are released, a new version of Invcif.exe is released on the
same day as when the updates become available on the Office Update Web site.

Look for Office Update Inventory Tool Version 2.2
http://www.microsoft.com/office/orkarchive/2003ddl.htm

Install the two above files into directory c:\OfficeInventory

Then run this below in a batch file

C:\OfficeInventory\inventory /s c:\OfficeInventory\cifs /o  
C:\OfficeInventory\
C:\OfficeInventory\convert  /d  C:\OfficeInventory\ /o  
C:\OfficeInventory\martin.xml /xml C:\OfficeInventory\patchdata.xml

You get a cvs file or xml file that looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

Subject: [dba-Tech] OT: Printer overtypes
Message-ID: <000901c6b44c$0d223e60$6501a8c0@office>

Any clues on this? My Hp Laserjet3015 has started overtyping letters, eg. in the word 'the', the t and the h are printed on top of one another. This is happening down the page in a snaking sort of pattern within 2 cms all the way down - one overrtype per line. I thought it was the font or something else but I have tried printing the same page on my inkjet and it comes out fine.

Anything knopw what might be the cause?

thx
