      XPost: !alt.windows-xp, 24hoursupport, helpdesk       From: fulfillment@charter.net              I had some blue screens yesterday due to program conflicts. I had a       blue screen while I was downloading email in Eudora. Then it said that       it couldn't read the data in the inbox. so I deleted the 20mb inbox.              Later after I ran chkdsk and cleared the error messages. I tried to do       a restore to get my inbox back. I only went back to the 29th. It       refuses to do it. I tried yesterday and it refused. The same thing       happened to me in December when I lost a Filemaker database by       accident.              I have tried to restore about 25 times over the last 30 day with 0       success. It worked this time last year, and I believe it worked last       summer, but it is kaput now.              I have more than 20GB on my "C" drive and over 15GB on my "D" drive.              My computer is a Dell XPS T-600MH with 384mb of ram              Why is this program so dicey?              Are their any other programs that do the same thing in a much more       reliable manner?              I've finally given up on this thing. It is a very sad program. it is       supposed to be a safety net for people, but how can it do that if it       fails 100% of the time?              I'm running ZoneAlarm suite 7.0, spysweeper 5.2, AVG 7.5, and Kerio       personal firewall all together. At least i did until i started getting       the blue screens. Now I've uninstalled everything but Zonealarm 7.0.       I tried to get it to do a spyware sweep this morning, and it ran for       about 30 minutes, but never showed any files being looked at. The       counter stayed at 0 and then it finally slowed down and stalled the       computer. I uninstalled Spysweeper and AVG deciding to let Zonealarm       do everything. right now it has been doing antivirus checking, but it       ran for 25 hours the other day and them hung the system              could it be that this software is to modern for my Dell XPS T-600?              Anyway being able to restore would be an incredible help to me.              Peace              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
