I hate windows Edge email, I don't much like Windows 10 for that matter. I down loaded OPERA for email and I like how it looks, it is familiar looking. How do I get my email contact list from the old computer using OUTLOOK over to the new computer and Opera?

Can I put the contact list on a SD or memory card and import it to Opera from there?

The thread titles appear a very dark blue or black color. In the past after I had viewed a thread the title would be a much lighter shade of blue. This has ceased to be the case and they go back to the original dark color and I can't tell what I have read and what I haven't.[V] Any suggestions please?

I did a system restore on my comp today. Instead of restoring to an eariler date it restored to the orignial factory settings.
Good news is I got rid of a bunch of usless crap. Bad news is I lost everything else I had saved.
Question is, can I get any of the stuff I need back, or is it gone for good?

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do;the fun is having lots to do and not doing it.

I was getting ready to install a new printer on to my wifes computer and she mentioned that she wanted the old Lexmark program removed. I went to control panel, then to add and remove programs and began the normal removal process. After it said removal was complete, it said to restart it. Well, after it was restarted, it never came back on. Nothing, nada, zilch. Nothing on the monitor at all. The computer fan is still running but nothing is coming on to the monitor. Ive tried to shut it down and it wont. I unplugged the power cord and it wont reboot.

Please help.

Thanks,

I have a 4 year old HP lap top running XP SP-2. It's a Pentium4, 2.66GHz, 4G ram, 60 G HD half empty. I have used the current vers. of Norton Internet Security since it was new.

About 6 months ago I noticed it take forever to boot up - like 5-7 minutes. After that it runs fine. I wanted to list my start-up files but forget where to find them. I did check a few weeks ago and the list wasn't that long.

Any ideas guys?

To start with, I got this computer used, and it didn't come with any windows disks, so I can't re-format it. It uses windows XP pro,

I have been having this problem with my computer. The message that I have done a screen shot of, started a couple days ago. I gives me this message every time I go to a new program. When I start it up, of course the are like 10-15 of these messages that come up. These messages, in the upper left hand corner of each message has a different program name of course, but the message is the same.. Ones I get into a program. I no longer get this message about that particular program.

Now let me tell you what I have done so far to get rid of this, About a week before this started, I down load an ad-on to my AVG security stack, and also down loaded Google Chrome. So I deleted both of these thinking that one or both caused it, no help. I also done a restore to a known good restore point. No help there either. So I just done a "scan for bad sectors and attempt recovery. Still no help.. Does anyone know how I can fix this? here is the screen shot of the message I get

BTW: I tried resizing the screen shot to make it easier to read, but it just distorted the words beyond recognition

We have 4 Dell Latitudes here.
1) D830 which is my sons. It is a tank. Works fantastic with Vista Business SP2, with 4gb RAM.
2) E5500 which is the MIL's. She needed something she could sit in her chair with after she broke her knee.
She couldn't sit at the desk with the desktop HP.
So I got it for her on eBay $65.00 shipped. Has Vista Business SP2 and 4gb Ram.
3) E6400 my daughters. Has Vista SP2 and 4gb RAM.
4) E6400 my laptop. Has Vista Business SP2, 4gb RAM and a larger hard drive then the rest of them.

Been through similar issues with them.
The Latitude Series is an excellent series of laptops. Thing is Dell has cheapened them in the newer models.
They are not as heavy or rugged as the older ones.
Son dropped his D830 about 2 weeks after getting it. I almost lost it.
No cracks in the case and it works perfectly. They are tough laptops.
