Getting used to an XP system that is running on a driver formatted NTFS can
take a little getting used to. Even though you are the only user, remember
that when you're connected to the internet - those pesky permissions and
restrictions provide security for your system.

As a member of the Administrative group, you have access to almost
everything. There are a few important things that remain system protected
but you can gain access to them as well by "taking ownership" or by editing
the permissions for a particular object.

There is a lot of information about this in the Help and Support file.
Also, if you share some specifics about the situations where you run
into "access denied," many folks here could help you out with them.

Darn spell checker: read the last phrase as "running on a drive formatted
NTFS"
Sorry!

Works fine. Does the URL get wrapped in your newsreader window?
 
Free Spirit;
I just came from there. I clicked my link in your message. Once you get
there, you have to scroll down a little and click on one of the flags. US or
Australia, I think, too small for me.
When you read the message, is the link on your OE showing up as a link???
Underlined and colored??? If not, copy and paste it into the IE's Address Bar.
If you do not get links working in OE look here:

If I were smart, I would write a program that would put down what you meant,
not what you typed. Not only would I be smart, I would be enormously wealthy
also. I would also tyxyg better.

================================
No. It doesn't get wrapped. It's too short to get wrapped. As you can
see I get THIS page repeatedly. All other webpages are working fine.
Are you using OE or Netscape? Could OE6 be the problem?
Even if I remove everything past majorgeeks.com I get the same window. Any
ideas how I can overcome this problem?

** Yes, they are underlined and colored. OE6 is my default browser. If
another browser is on here I never saw/found it.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

** All I get is "Cannot find server" page. This is a Copy & Paste of what
I keep getting. The refresh button just brings up the same page. Any other
suggestions on how to overcome this problem?

Then what can be the problem with my IE6 ???? The URL fits in the browser
window.... and then I get the "Cannot find server" page. What server can't
it find? The one the URL is located on? How do I get AROUND this problem?

FS...........
 
I tried both by clicking the link below and Copying & Pasting it into the
browser window. I still get the same "Cannot find server" window.

FS..........
===============================
 
http://www.majorgeeks.net/mgusers/Page.html <-- this is the ONLY page my
browser (IE6) can find. It cannot find the server for anything else with
"majorgeeks" in the name. How do I fix this problem? Why does it work for
you and not me? Are you using Netscape or another browser other than IE6?
If so, which one is working for you?

FS
 
Whoops.... I keep refering to IE as OE6. Sorry.... I need some sleep (it's
3:30 AM here). It's been a hell of a long day. I'll try getting it
tomorrow on one of the older PCs with W98 and transferring it.........

I'm using IE but 40tude's Dialog is my default newsreader. That shouldn't
make a difference though and the link should work from OE as well. If
using IE, try Start> Run> and type in regsvr32 urlmon.dll

May need to close all open OE and IE windows and relaunch the programs
before the change takes effect.

MajorGeeks provides server space for may different programs and utilities.
You could use their search tool to look up "Spell Checker for OE"

When I use their web page links (Downloads> Mail Utilities> Spell Checker
for OE) I get a slightly different looking link:
