AskWoody PlusCould I tack a question onto this thread, please? I use POP and regularly edit certain emails in Outlook, especially those with links to material on the web when I insert the actual material instead of the links and save the edited email on my computer. As my account is with gmail, the original email is still on gmail’s server. If I was using IMAP would the edited emails get saved back to the server and be available in the future in edited form? If not what exactly would happen?
The answer to this will decide whether I finally move to IMAP or not. Thanks guys, in advance!

AskWoody PlusYou can try Adolix Split and Merge. It’s free for documents up to 50 pages and allows you to add pages anywhere in an existing file as well as splitting existing pdf files in to smaller files by page. Works very well for me using Win7 x64.

AskWoody PlusI am running Win 7 X64 and have installed SP1 (and all other patches to date!) with no problems whatever UNTIL I tried to use XP Mode which was installed months ago and was working fine before SP1. It advised me that Integrated components needed updating but every time I tried, the installation failed saying setup was interrupted. I finally found the thread below and confirm that the solutions from RaviVish and PattieB work. I post it in case some Windows Secrets readers have less hair than before this problem like me!!

AskWoody PlusI had already installed this update and noticed the slowdown of Outlook but didn’t know the reason until I read Susan Bradley’s article yesterday. I immediately uninstalled it using Windows and immediately Outlook performed properly again (and still continues to do so. I checked and found that Windows Update now offered me the update again. Fine. That was yesterday. I checked with Windows update again today and the patch was no longer offered. I then went to Microsoft’s KB article and it wasn’t there. Has Microsoft pulled the update?

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
