Should just do that and buy a new DVD player :))

I wondered if somebody could help me with an Outlook Express 6 problem I have?

Yesterday it crashed and closed. I've now lost one of my folders (plus all my deleted items disappeared at the same time but that's no problem). I've looked under tools / maintenance and storage and I can see the folder with the .DBX extension so I know it still exists. How do I get that folder back into Outlook Express so that I can read the e-mails again?

If you go back to a 'restore point' doesn't that re-frig the computer without losing any files or folders?

Most blu-rays are region free.

Could anybody suggest the best way to backup e-mails and e-mail addresses? I had to get a new hard drive yesterday and I've lost all my e-mails and addresses.

Is there a file on my computer that I can backup in case it happens again?

Depends what you use as your email client.

Outlook Express.

I think I may just send any important e-mails to my Gmail account so that I have another copy.

Try here

here's another question for ya:

I wanna export my itunes library from my notebook to my new desktop pc. Now, there is a function called export library, but I'm pretty sure it only copies the file locations and not the songs themselves.

Is there any way I can use my old library on my new computer without copying every single song and change the directory on every single entry in the library?

iTunes is the devils work. :devil:

Yes, sync your i-pod with your old library, then connect it to the new pc. You can sync with up to 5 computers at a time, I've used three of my connections so far, what with hard drives/motherboards dying on me... Make sure you enable the 'use as hard drive' thingy on the summary page when it's syncing too, that'll make life easier for you.

My DVD drive works but it only reads CDs. It wont read DVDs. Can someone help? i tried google and everyone is too complicated. I need a step-by-step thing a monkey can understand.

Thank you :D

Are you going to get a monkey to fix it for you then?

are you sure it acutally IS a dvd drive?

Yes its a DVDRW Drive and plays both CDs and DVDs.

what do you mean by it cant read dvds? do you get an error message? does nothing at all happen? explain the problem a little

1. Pack up PC in a box
2. Take to local friendly electrical retailer
3. Drop box
4. Buy a DVD player - preferably one with one BIG button marked "PLAY"
5. Get someone to plug it in for you

Sorted :lol:

Nothing happens. it says no disk in drive and ejects. its pissing me off. i wanna Pirate stuff!

It's broke.

It's clearly got the latest Microsoft anti-piracy patch applied. :))

This may sound silly but do you have either a DVD software suite installed or have a DVD codec downloaded for media player?

It's not getting that far. If the disc is being rejected, then either the disc is faulty, the drive is faulty, or Wario is putting the discs in upside down ...

Thanks everyone for not being of any help :D

I unistalled teh drive and reinstalled it nothing.

Im getting a bit annoyed lol

If you'd read my comment earlier (about the drive being dead) you wouldn't have bothered.

When you put in a CD or DVD, the drive itself does a quick check. If it then ejects the disc, that check failed. i.e. the drive thinks that instead of putting in a CD or DVD, you put in a piece of toast. So it's nothing to do with any software drivers or codecs or applications or the design of your backpack.

The laser is probably dusty. You could try cleaning it if you can get at it. Or, easier/cheaper/more likely to fix it, just get a new drive and swap it.

Thats what im doing. Thanks dave :D
