Wireless not working
QUESTION: No matter where I go, the wireless is not working.
ANSWER: I just had to “enable wireless” by right-clicking on the icon at the bottom-right of the task bar and choose Enable Radio. I could then connect right into the wireless network. Sometimes when a wireless network has no security on it, the wireless device will prompt you and make you click OK or something before it connects to an unsecured network. Maybe that’s what was happening to you?

Rejected messages from addresses I've never heard of
QUESTION:
I just started my computer this morning and I had 9 undeliverable/ spam/ rejected messages from addresses I never heard of. I have a feeling I am being hijacked to send spam. Please advise.
ANSWER:
It’s someone pretending to be you when they send out their spam messages. It never touches your computer. The recipient’s server sends the rejections to you because that’s where the spam message is pretending to be coming from. There’s really nothing we can do about it, short of giving you a new email address.

"Show Desktop" icon missing
QUESTION:
My “Show Desktop” icon just disappeared from my Quick Start menu. How do I restore that?

Mailbox over the limit
QUESTION:
I started getting notices that my mailbox is over it’s limit. I have archived items over 90 days. What else can I do to stop these messages?
Isn’t this pretty much the same as archiving to my hard drive?
I use three months.
ANSWER:
You can create an Outlook Personal Folder (PST file) where you can move messages to reduce the size of your “Mailbox.” To do that, from Outlook’s main screen, choose File, New, Outlook Data File, click OK to accept all the default values after that. Then create folders under this Personal Folder and move any messages you want from your “Mailbox - [firstname lastname]” folders to your “Personal Folders”. Just keep in mind that these “Personal Folders” don’t get backed up every night like your Mailbox does. So, if you lose the laptop or its hard drive dies, you lose those messages unless you’ve made another back up somewhere else.
Yes, but you can be more specific about which messages you move to the hard drive, as opposed to “everything older than 6 months” etc.
OK. But my way, if you have, for instance, a week-old email that you know has a huge attachment, you can drag and drop just THAT email into your personal folder. It just gives you more flexibility.
