Bad PC

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m a little tired today. I was up later than I should have been trying to fix a problem on Angela’s PC. Everything else on the PC works ok, but neither Outlook or Outlook Express wil open. They get to the splash screen and that’s it. I tried doing everything with Outlook last night, including uninstalling/reinstalling it, but the problem persists. I’m assuming, since the problem has presented itself in both email apps, that there’s some problem with a protocol or something, but the real question is, since we have 5 machines for the two of us, wouldn’t it be quicker to simply setup the Mac, or another PC to get her email than to try and hunt down the problem with this one? Then we could just leave this one alone and be capable of doing everything but email. Call me lazy if you will, but it makes sense to me! Or, I could also just try installing Thunderbird on her current PC and see if it has the same problem or not…

I’m going to cheat a little though. After a quick review of Steve Matthews roundup of people who have already…

    Thanks to all the folks who wished me a happy birthday yesterday. It was a pretty wonderful day for me, and I would be remiss in not thanking my wife for all the hard work she put in to throw me a party and make the day enjoyable for me. She’s amazing and I love…

    Got everything back to normal over at the other site tonight. Quite the exciting way to ring in the new year, eh? Now that I’ve got everything back to the way it was last week I can take Andy’s suggestion from the comments on that last post and upgrade to the latest MT version. But…
