I opened Outlook Express on our old computer intending to look at various folders I had created there and to move them to our newer computer. To my horror almost all of them have disappeared from the list of folders. I've looked in the recycle bin and they don't seem to have gone there. I've no idea how this can have happened and I would be so grateful if anyone could tell me how to find them. Many thanks, Maureen

There are a number of things that can cause that, it would be a lot easier if I were actually working on the machine. I'll think on it a bit more and see if I can come up with something.,

If you are using a 'user' account and NOT an Administrator account, you can only see folders for the user account you're in. You need to be in an Admin account to see all folders, and then you can move the files in those folders to places where they can be used.

Send it to someone with Excel 2007 + to open and have them save it as 2000 compatible, and send it back to you in that format. Might try importing it into Office Access database - not sure if that would work or not.

I was sent an .xlsx file, I downloaded and installed the MS Office Compatibility Pack. My EXCEL 2000 still does not recognize this file. There is no Desk top icon for the pack. What have I left out. bob gillis

Yes, you are right, David... I forgot about that. But DOS is readily available. I would imagine Win 3.11 is as well. So it could all be installed, but... WHY !!!

Hi Janet, My first, personally owned system, was a 386DX 33Mhz, a little faster than the one you mentioned. I purchased this system around 1989. The system was top of the line in 1989, but will be almost unusable with today's software. That said, I still have a laptop from the late 1990's which runs Windows 98. I boot it up every once in a while and it boots up very fast ! What would you like to know? Regards, Kevin.

Hi everyone, I am new to this list, just having signed up and hope someone can advise me or help me. Does anyone know anything about a vintage computer, 386 SX/25 Mhz Mini Tower System? Thanks, Janet

Yes, but that was Windows 2.8 or better (3.11) for DOS. It was a program that was installed on a DOS machine. Of course you may have had Windows 95, but that was also a long time ago.

I use FF 3.6.23 and it works fine I was wondering if Joe had inadvertently selected the *new search* which is diabolical Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Just went to Ancestry.com using FF 3.6.10 and I really do not see much difference between IE and FF. Can you tell us, what is so different that you cannot use it? Thanks, David C Abernathy

I Agree that they are trying to force us to their new "junk". I don't like the new search either. I did like you suggested and I am using Ancestry now. My problem turned out to be a Firefox add on call "No Script" Thanks everyone. Joe >I think you are correct Nivard.

Hi, For those that were kind enough to send me a help email, I want to say thanks. I found this morning that it was an add on called No Script that was causing my problems. I made some changes to it and Ancestry is working ok now. Many thanks, Joe Just went to Ancestry.com using FF 3.6.10 and I really do not see much difference between IE and FF.

I think you are correct Nivard. I am using the last version of Firefox and when I open Ancestry the opening page is different. I think they are trying to force us to use the new search, but I hate it. What you have to do Joe is sign in and then click on search - after search comes up look up to your right and you will see (barely) the words Old Search just click on that and it will take you back to the good old familiar Old Search.
