When I try to forward a group of pictures that someone has sent to me in an email, they will not forward. All the recipient receives are the outlines of boxes wach with small box in the corner which has a red X in it. Am I doing something wrong?? Thanks, Ruth in IN

Hi Barbara Click on the photo and little square boxes will appear in the corner. Click and drag the corners inwards and this will make the picture smaller. It might go out of shape, so you might have to click and drag on the little squares that are down the side or along the top of the picture too.

I have in my OE Local Folders masses of emails that I want to keep but I know that I shall have to do something about it soon. Is it possible to transfer on a 'by folder basis' to say a CD or somewhere in 'My Documents' easily? Old Joe

Thanks Lance & all , I prefer to stay with OE and have found a way to do what I wanted to do, Which is to copy all stored emails to a word file and then copy them to a CD for future use ---John John from West Aus ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lance" <lance.b.4u@gmail.com> To: <SENIOR-NEWBIE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 7:52 AM Subject: RE: [SR-NEWBIE] Saving Messages in OE to a CD John, one of the best sources for OE help and tips is InsideOE.

I sent this before and I am trying again. Would like to get this installed since I have a friend who sents stuff with this all the time and I can not read them. I am trying to install "MSN Viewer" and it get's part of it installed and then comes up with this error message: "An I/O error occured while installing a file. This is normally caused by bad installation media or a corrupt installation file" Does anyone know what this means and how can I correct it? Thanks for your help.

When I try to open the CD it tells me to what files are currently on the CD. When I try to open them I get this message: Windows cannot open this file: File: DATA.DIR Select a program from the list: This is what I get: rns, 1817-1820




Athens Co., Marriages, 1821-1822




Athens Co., Will and Estate Records, 1814-1825




Auglaize Co., Common Pleas Court Records, 1848-1851

 I am new to genealogy, the computer and researching. I have not been able to open any of the CD'S to see what is on them. Remember I am new to all of this. I have Windows XP home edition, & internet explorer. How would I access the CD from the internet explorer? I have the following driveswhen I click my computer: CD -RW Drive (F) DVD Drive (E) Not CDROM (D) I have tried accessing from the internet browser. Sorry to be so "thick headed" Valerie

If using Windows XP, would downloading Irfanview be duplicating any icture program I may have? New to XP and still haven't figured everything out. Ruth in NJ

Right click on the picture and from the pop-up menu choose Open with... From the submenu choose Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, or try whatever else is on the list, or click Browse to get a longer list of programs. Joan A.

I use a program called Irfanview... it's a wonderful picture program... and best of all it's free... read about it at http://www.tucows.com/preview/194967 When I get a picture in an email, like you did, I just right click on it and it opens in Irfanview and I can name it and save it or do whatever I want to with it... hope this helps...

Sharyn, your OE files are all contained in a ".DBX" file. Again, the InsideOE site offers help in this area. Read about a handy backup utility here: http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/backup/ And this page offers advice on importing your folders: http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/faqs/how.htm#importOE5 Probably, what did occur when you last changed is that you allowed that service to install a new version of Internet Explorer as part of their setup. Outlook Express is a component of IE. This could have removed your ability to "see" your old ".dbx" folders, even though they may have been (or still are) there. Do a search for "*.dbx" files and see what you find. May work. Lance P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!

Running windows 98 on a Compaq Computer- Occasionally I am told that I cannot open a file because I do not own it and that I must seek permission from the Administrator or the owner. I would like to know what I have must do in order to obtain permission to open the file in question. - This problem doesn't seem to be confined to any one application. Any explanation as to what is going on certainly would be appreciated. - Grandma Fern

That check mark prevents any attachments from being opened so it needs to be removed. Joan
