I don't understand a word of this!

19 years ago

I just recently signed up at MSN for Dial Up internet connection.

1. There are 3 different e-mail selections. MSN, Messenger and Hot Mail. I only want MSN.

2. The only e-mail I'm getting is when I sign up to join another forum, but I'm not receiving any personal e-mail.Most of what I send comes back as un-deliverable.

3. I have installed Nortons AntiVirus2007.Ran it several times, everyting o.k. Register Mechanic is o.k.

4. BUT then this Network Diagnostics showed up, here is it's report:

Last diagnostic run time: 01/26/07 20:47:43 Network Adapter Diagnostic

Sorry, but I haven't a clue as to what any of this means or what to do with it. Any suggestions/help will be most helpful & appreciated.

Sounds like you already have internet working but your mail settings are off a notch...

Perhaps look here..
Open Outlook Express
Click on the menu item Tools, then select Accounts
Click on the Mail tab if not already selected.
Highlight MSN which hopefully is marked default.
Click on Properties button.
Click on the tab for Connections
Now you should see a drop down box, change it to say dial up modem or something similar as apparetnly its trying to use a Network Connection which the norm if you have a high speed connection like dsl or cable.
Think you need that box to say use the dial up modem.

Hopefully thats the simple fix.

Hi Mikie...well, I had to type in OE, things started moving & I ended up at Windows site for OE installation. Followed instructions, ran the download, nothing seemed to be happening, so decided to call it a day.. When I shut down pc. had a message that msn was installing 1 update. This a.m. I actually had some e-mail, nothing to indicate that OE is responsible for this. Well, I don't know what's happening inside this machine, but unless you have other "fixes", I think I'll leave it alone for now. I do thank you so much for your instructions & especially your time.

Maybe the trees were slower at getting their leaves on with the cold snap/ freeze this spring and allowed for more sunlight to get to the plants. Allowing them to throw up stalks this year with more sunshine. Just a theory. I would still move after you enjoy the show. Enjoy.

I don't understand mental illness...
Q
Comments (25)
Lazypup thank you so much for sharing your story. So many people misunderstand what mental illness can do to people and those that live with them. My DH was diagnosed with BPD in the last decade. If only he had been diagnosed earlier how different our life might have been, especially financially. He has always been high functioning and a hard worker blah blah blah so it was easy to dismiss the erratic behavior. I can relate to the job walk-offs. One year he had nine different 1099s. He is stablized with a couple drugs that are pretty side effect free for him also. One of the "lucky" ones who hasn't needed lithium. It will never be perfect but it is so much better than before. I also agree with you on the over diagnosing that goes on with children. It is the boys that have it worse since the feminization of our society expects them to have the same behavioral characteristics that girls do. Our children's childhoods are being stolen. They are expected to learn more at an earlier age,have a lengthened school day with less recess,not given opportunity to blow off steam and burn off that excess energy and have every minute of their waking hours micro-managed. Yet at the same time many are still drinking out of those stupid sippy cups and being pushed around in strollers at age 5.

Isn't this Forun geat! Learn something new everyday. This is the first time I have heard of using BFK for 304 stainless sinks. I don't think the oxalic acid in BFK is good for steel. It's an oxidizer which should be avoided around steel -- although I admit I sometimes used it to re-sparkle 305 stainless "silverware" (I silverware silverware if its not silver?) We use baking soda. Never tried Bon Ami on stainless sinks, but can't think why not. BFK is great on our Kohler cast iron sinks -- the only kind of sink I would ever buy. Takes out any stain and leave a sparkling surface. Also great on copper pans.

Littlebug5 here. Thanks for your blunt comments - I knew my imaginary friends, as DH calls this forum, would help us see the forest through the trees. Some more information: We have known Martha for many many years. DH and I and Martha graduated from high school together in a class of about 100. So obviously we know each other fairly well. To further complicate things, the realtor (I'll call him The Donald) was in our class too. Seems kind of incestuous, doesn't it? But this is a very small town. The price is fair. There are 3 other homes for sale on the golf course (asking $129,000, 179,000 and 200,000). A house a block away sold at Xmas for $237,000, but it is about 10 years old while George and Martha's is 40 years old. This ain't New Jersey, obviously. Our nearest WalMart is 25 miles away - we're Small Town U.S.A. The contingency contract we're asking for does NOT prevent George and Martha from continuing to solicit other offers. It gives us a 72-hour-time-frame for the right of first refusal if they get a better offer. About 20 years ago on a whim DH and I listed the home we lived in at the time at what we thought was an optimistic price. Well, it sold almost right away, and we had nowhere to go. We had to rent for 9 months while we looked for another home. I hated, hated hated renting. I don't want to do that again. That's why I'd like to tie this house up. When we sell our house, we are in a position to be a CASH buyer. So we are not asking for a financing contingency. CASH buyers in our small town for a $215,000 home are very very few and far between. And George and Martha have had NO OTHER OFFERS, cash or otherwise. Yes, I've got some hard advice. And I can kind of see their side, but I see mine too. At this point, we are working hard to get our house ready to show. Maybe by this time next week, we'll be ready . . .

Pat, sounds like you dont have an icon for OE to click on?? Am I reading this correctly. If you dont, then double click on my computer, click on C, and click on program files. Look for the folder called Outlook express, double click it and open it up. You will see an icon that has an envelope on it. It is called msimn.exe. Right click on it and choose shortcut. Put the shortcut on your desktop. Now you should be able to open it from desktop and follow the instructions above by Mikie. Good Luck :-)Cat

CAT KY.. thanks for the suggestion and you are right! No icon, but I just printed out your instructions and will take care of this. Thanks so much, as you can tell I need all the help & suggestions available, I really get embarrassed by my ignorance of this machine. Just about the time I think I have IT, IT double-crosses me & I'm back to ground zero! If it weren't for people like you & Mikie & many others, I'd be forever up that well known creek without the paddle!lol

The only flaw I see about all this OE is that MSN email is not OE, right.

I am not sure about that Randy, since I have never used MSN. I do have a friend that uses MSN internet and has for years. He does have outlook express email. That is about all I can tell you about MSN internet services.

I haven't used MSN for about a month, so I'm a little fuzzy on this. I know you can either use MSN mail or Hotmail.
On the sign in at the top it says connections, you could look around in there.

Also click Start/ Settings/ Network Connections/ and right click Dial-up, and "Set as Default Connection"
Just from the looks of your original message, it looked like it was trying to connect to a network rather than dial-up.

MSN is an ISP... actually ISP's partner with MSN and do regular, non web based, isp email branded with MSN address's through standard email clients .. outlook/express, eduora, Kmail, etc.
