I did this about 12 years ago with my parents. Or I should say they did this to me. I can't tell you how much easier it made the last few years. My mother passed away last year and it made a hugh differednce. I could take care of everything for my father. It took almost a year to get through all the trust attornies, accountants, apraisers,and banks, ect. My parents had everything set up in advance. Pre paid funeral, cemetary, trusts, everything. The one thing I learned is what a great gift it was to me and I have set up everything for our daughter in the last few months. Hard to talk about but such a great gift to give your child.

gmom, Here is the link that is most likely to save your day: www.OEHelp.com/OETips Scroll down to the red 'Update'. Have a read, but before you do anything else, download the free programme Outlook Express Quick Backup (don't worry about the command line instructions because you never use them - you just push the buttons). Before you run OE Quick Backup create a new Backup Folder (preferably on another drive) e.g. 'Current'. Run OE Quick Backup and select the 'Current' folder then click 'Backup All'. Once your latest data is safely backed up in 'Current' create a couple more folders e.g. 'Old 2008' and 'Old 2007'. This is because, if things work o.k., you are likely to end up with several .dbx files with the same name and you need to save them in different places - as explained in the next paragraph. So, to recover e.g. an old "Sent" email folder copy sent.bak and save it to your current identity as sent1.dbx and then backup that to "Old 2008". A quick word about .bak files - when Widows saves a later version of any file with the same name as the original one it changes the extension of the original file to .bak e.g. text.txt to text.bak and program.exe to program.bak. This gives you only one chance to 'easily' recover your data because if you save again using the same name then the first .bak file is overwritten - this is windows way of preventing your hard drive from becoming full with obsolete files. N.B. My Windows theory might not be 100% correct (I am both old and self-taught!) but the general principles are about right and it could save you from corrupting anything that you do manage to recover. Good luck. Colin Here is a link that might be useful: Outlook Express Help Main Index

check on your actual email program for a print icon and use that print icon to print, not the one that is under file print on the browser. For example on hotmail at the top where it has New Delete Junk etc at the end of that there is a printer icon that is what I have to select to be able to print the actual email, using the regular print option does not work.

Kudzu9, You might try asking your question at DPReview. It is a forum for camera users. You will have to join but if anyone can give you an answer someone there can. After joining just select your camera type from the list of forums. Good Luck and I would like to know if you find an answer. This is a strange problem unless by some chance there was a check mark somewhere to "delete selected photos when done downloading"...........? Here is a link that might be useful: dpreview.com
