UP AND RUNNING ON XP!!!!!
Hi All.....
Been a long bloody day, but am now up and running (with a lot of tweaking to do) on XP!! FINALLY!! My special thanks to Mike and Noel for their patience and help. You should see the case that Willy picked out for me.......a teenager would kill for it, lol!! Black and silver with royal blue lights glowing....ROFL!! When he first showed me it, I damn near died and almost went to boring beige. But Ron thought it would be fun and to go for it.....so I did. Didn't know I would get one side partly translucent with neon lights tho. Got a wireless keyboard and mouse.....hard to get used to this keyboard at the moment. Put my old Windows95 monitor (about 14") on the WinME computer and I can access that now. What a hassle it is, though. I got the new one yesterday, but didn't know where to start in. So the office looks like a whirlwind hit it as I am rearranging everything. And finally getting rid of some of the clutter. I think I am going to really enjoy this......but the dam keyboard is driving me nuts!! FIRST QUESTION: How do I change the font in Outlook Express???? I hate this courier font. I put in Arial but it didn't do anything. Change it to Western ISO? It is set at Western Windows IIRC. Yes, Mike and Noel......I made sure SP2 Firewall was on, grin. And I transferred EZ Trust over via CD and opened it before going online. Got AdAware & SpywareBlaster on here as well. Willy admitted he hates Norton too and said I knew so much about malware that he wasn't worried and to use one of the freebies. Aha....just found QuickLaunch toolbar. Will get that on here. I have some programs that I don't know what they are. OH.....just checked and I have InCD....neat!! I recall you guys talking about it. Off to have a bite to eat. Been at this since noon and Ron is making supper. I forgot the real world existed, lol. Cheers.....Heather |

g have some programs that I don't know what they are. OH.....just checked and I have InCD....neat!! I recall you guys talking about it. Well, that means you have Nero, which is the one to celebrate. Nero 6, presumably? InCD - as packet-writing software - is not to be trusted with irreplaceable data. Funny, I finally got a Mt. Rainier-capable drive and I never use packet-writing anymore! Shane |

Congratulations even if it did take you a while. I seem to recall you got
your copy of XP back in, dare I mention it, April 2003, yes 2003! Joking apart I wish you well and don't forget us here on the Win Me boards whilst living it up on XP. As for your new hardware, let's hope it's now all roses - you deserve some luck after your recent problems. As for myself my new PC is, well isn't, however a new mobo is due tomorrow which will hopefully mean that at long last I can get things up and running. Cheers, -- Mike Heather wrote: Hi All.....

Heather:
Happy XPeeeeeeeing! (VBG) You beat me to it but, according to Mike I have about a year to go since I bought my copy. So, I still have a chance to get in under your record. I have all kinds of hardware sitting around here to upgrade my machine and have just been too lazy to dig in and get it done. Meanwhile, I will still be lurking around and enjoying the fun spirit of this group. sced13ri Heather wrote: Hi All.....

Yay, Figglet! You realize, of course, that even with XP SP2, you still
need to 'graze' here. Your case sounds like the one I have......is it an Antec Lanboy?? Heirloom, old and the world is about to change "Heather" wrote in message ... Hi All.....

Yo Loon........of course I will still be 'grazing' here.....can't leave all
the good folks we have been with for 4.5 years!! And hopefully I will still be able to keep WinME working, but that ground lightning hit did more than I thought and it is really complaining. The name on the front is "XBlade" and the cardboard box says "Turbo Case:...generic Asian one I guess. I will find a link and show it to you. I got the card reader floppy drive, as well. Not quite sure what all I have on here. Willy being a man of few words, grin. Didn't get a router or the jump drive as of yet. But all of my other computer is backed up and I just transfer stuff over from CD's. Think the XP groups are ready for me? LOL!! XX Figgs "Heirloom" wrote in message ... Yay, Figglet!

Yup....April of 2003, grin. I took a look at the paperwork before I took
the CD's over to Willy. And no way am I forgetting you all. Still running my slightly wonky WinME.....froze on me again today. I think I got this new computer just in time. I have 95% of it backed up, but there are silly things like all my Bookmarks I want to transfer over, etc. Sorry to hear you got a *bummer* motherboard. That sounds more like MY luck!! (G) I guess I will toddle over to one of the XP groups and lurk for a bit. I was just meandering thru the programs on here and will have to register a few of them, I guess. Power DVD is on here....not sure what version of Nero I have. No "Help" that I can find. There are other programs that I don't have a clue what they are, but will investigate. Still have speakers, printer and scanner to hook up....and put the software on. I told Willy that if anything involved drivers, he could do it. They are *my phobia*....he got a kick out of that!! I remember you telling me to take a couple of days to get used to XP.....you are right!! Think I started in on this around noon or sooner. Ron held all the cords while I untangled everything, lol. Apparently I can still use my cable on WinME, so that may come in handy. Flying blind here. Cheers.....Heather "Mike M" wrote in message ... Congratulations even if it did take you a while.
