Your computer is not the problem, it's a list server issue. HRINET needs to fix this. -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG]On Behalf Of Herbert B. Chermside Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 9:38 AM To: xxxxxx@HRINET.ORG Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] email coming in code Probably no help, but there are two things that sometimes fix things when it seems nothing else works -- no good reason, but these probably flush out the gremlins. 1) Shut down everything: close each program. Turn off computer -- OFF -- unplug if you must! (Many computers these days keep a trickle of current that seems to feed the gremlins if you don't unplug!) Turn off all peripherals, especially if you have a high speed modem or a wireless network (like a home system). Turn back on in this order: modem, wireless network, computer. 2) Uninstall and reinstall the program that gives trouble -- but be sure you save files such as mailboxes, nicknames, etc. just in case the uninstall wipes them out. This is NOT advice from an IT specialist, just someone who has often saved his bacon by using these tricks to fix something that goes wrong after it worked right. Be advised that MS Windows (any version) has a "Registry" which supposedly many things. (I think it is the master book of magic spells!) It can get screwed up, sometimes. DO NOT mess with it unless you know what you are doing, and in any case BACK IT UP before tweaking it. And don't forget that there are help forums out there for almost all programs. Try Googling [program name] help forum, or similar. Chuck At 09:26 AM 11/10/2005, you wrote: >So do mine.
