Hello Can someone help shed light on my problem please? I get the error message "MSVCR71.dll was not found, reinstalling may help" when I want to open a program. This appears intermittently and unpredictably - sometimes it comes up and sometimes it does not , even with the same program. It stops me opening the program which is very annoying. The same message appears when I try to open a number of programs, eg it appeared today when I tried to open Picasa, even though I was using Picasa without problem yesterday and when I wanted to alter the volume level on my computer the other day. I have looked on microsoft support and googled the problem and found that .dll refers to dynamic link library but no solution. Thanks

I believe you are referring to a post I made. I add the space when I scan the photos doing that as an over crop of what I want to save beyond just the photo. -----Original Message----- From: gen-comp-tips-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:gen-comp-tips-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of ray risely Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 9:11 AM To: Gen-Comp-Tips@Rootsweb. Com Subject: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] Labelling photos Hi all, I believe there was talk recently about adding space under photos to add descriptive text into. Sounds like a very good way to keep info to me without writing on the photo itself. Well I have tried on several programs, Photoshop 5, Gimp etc but the only program I have that does it simply is good old PhotoImpact 10. How do you add space under the photo in other programs? Increasing canvas size only seems to alter the size of the photo itself. I must be missing something. Any help appreciated. Ray No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.

Doug, > ... I made a decision a long time ago after losing a bunch of > e-mails that I had saved NEVER to save e-mails again. ... > you don't have to be online to check your info that you have > ... I never have more that 50 or so e-mails in box at any one > time and I subscribe to anumber of rootsweb list. I've been using e-mail since 1998 - at least that's the earliest e-mail I have. I delete most of that which I receive - keeping only ones from family (fond memories). I backup up every month or so - never archiving since I keep all on the computer. I only keep Rootsweb e-mails for a month or two since I can always look in their archives for the data I need. So - I have less than 1GB of e-mails - certianly small enough to easily backup. One benefit of keeping all family e-mails is that I have a large number from people who have since died. Fond memories are brought to the fore when reading their newsy contents. That all said - I believe that people use the system they find best for them. So - Doug - "good on you". Chris

JL asked Jan - > What email program are you using? JL - The headers in Jan's email showed what she was using: X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.3198 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3138 Wendy

Hi, I do not understand. I use XP professional with Outlook as my e-mail client. I also have Outlook Express - but I don't use it for e-mail - it's there in case I can help a relation who does use it. I have set updates to accept all the important ones. They arrive once a month - on a Tuesday if I remember correctly. Often (always?) Microsoft issue an e-mail explaining what the updates will contain. I have never had any problems with this auto-update. There was one occasion where the computer took ages to shutdown since it was installing a large update - and I was in a hurry to leave - but that wasn't the fault of my computer or Microsoft. I can't remember receiving daily updates. I suspect that this is a monthly update that the computer couldn't install and it keeps trying every time you reboot. Have you looked on the Microsoft web-site for guidance? Chris

Hi all, I have my MS updates set to 'notify me' when they are available so I can choose if/when to download & install them. I seem to receive daily a list of MS updates which I install to suit me. However, the next day the list appears to be the same - and the next day etc. My computer asks at shutdown to install the updates & turn itself off. So what's going wrong - are they not installing properly or what else causes the same kb updates to appear all the time. Frustrating. Ray

Hi Bob , Ray and all I am somewhat mystified by your comments I use XP home I have updates set to accept all, they are occasional (perhaps 1 or 2 per month) they generally install with no problem and never have I had changes to anything noticeable and certainly never have I had an attempt to change my set up or swap from OE to Outlook Sadly I cannot tell you the reason your set up is different to mine but perhaps someone can?

Just Google.com search for it. You will find all you need--and more. I just checked it--and the answers to all your questions--and download offers are there. I suggest you go to the Microsoft.com site and search there, also. Bob **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms and advice on AOL Money & Finance.

However if you look at the message source, control U in thunderbird and the same I think in other programs you will find X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.3138. JLB's message source has no X-Mailer so he/she is using web mail. bob gillis

What email program are you using? There are many. You can probably drag the bar at the top of that screen down to close it, or go to View and you'll have various viewing options.

Not everyone has to be online to read his already-downloaded e-mails. Folks using e-mail clients set up to access their e-mail server using POP3/SMTP can look at all of their e-mail any old time. I've been using Eudora since 1993, and I have, well, I'm not sure I'm gonna admit in public just how many e-mails I have in some of my mailboxes... Regardless how much e-mail you keep in your e-mail program, or in text documents, or what-have-you, you're gonna be sorry some day if you don't back it up. Often.

Updates do not install on my computer. I get a message that the installations failed. I don't know why. I have Spy Sweeper and think that may be the reason. I still use Outlook Express and am happy with it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert J.

I have two levels of updates. The first comes in about once a month which I do not download. Others come in automatically. I do not appreciate the changes because they adjust settings on my pc. The most obvious is they change my email setting from Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook, which I do not like. I think it is an invasion of privacy for them to be able to and to actually change settings.
