Blue screen symptom turned serious

[Lex]

Well, it finally happened, the occasional blue screen bit me right square in the ass over the weekend. I lost a year's worth of email from my in box, just gone! No warnings from Eudora, no mailbox is corrupted messages, just email is gone!

I couldn't believe it. My last point in time backup was in March. So, I lost 3 months worth of email, gone.

Were it not for the fact it makes me want to cry at the thought of tearing this dual CPU PC down yet again, I would return it to Asus for something else, maybe another 333, I dunno.

I can go along just fine for 2 days, then finally, blue screen. He also just freezes up once in a while.

Frustrated,
Lex

Wow LEx, your stories with that dual headed monster have me running to Mama Intel if I ever want to go dual...... I think this is why big corporations stay with Intel for servers, they have been proven over the long haul where as AMD is relativley new in the server MP arena.... Not that you really need to hear this right now.

Sorry to hear buddy, that really sucks and I know how you feel. I have lost so many e-mails because of broken stripes and that darn Microsoft Outlook. I wish it and Explore would just keep all the files in one local location that is easy to back up like Nescape. :M

Anyone know how to back up email in Outlook/ Outlook Express?

From Outlook help:

To back up the folder, find the folder file, and then copy it to a backup folder, floppy disk, or network drive. Outlook Express e-mail folders have a .dbx extension (for example, "Sent Items.dbx").

Heck fire, my audio quit working even, I reloaded drivers, you name it, and no audio. This thing is sh...

Yeah, back up completely out of it, and use an alternate client, lol. Not a fan of Outlook
