Medico,

What is meant by "T/S" purposes only? Also "TIF?" That is another reason this non-techie didn't/couldn't follow your directions, because he didn't really understand them including...

Medico,

This happened to me once before, I think also following an issue with IE. The warning in itself is not a major problem as you suggested, but it does get annoying after awhile when it...

I have no clue how it got started earlier today, but for the last several hours I am getting the following yellow strip appear at the bottom of a number of webpage (mostly on Facebook): "Only secure...

It's "6 of one, a half dozen of the other," she either does what you suggest or periodically archive it to HD. I choose the hard drive, which is the way I do it and I've never had an Outlook.pst...

I agree with you to a limited degree, but as the one who has to deal with the consequences of what would happen, I really prefer avoiding the "nuclear issue" if I can.

The only real long term solution IMHO is to get her to do what she should have been doing in the first place, and archive important files in that underused hard drive and regularly delete what she...

I agree, and the fact it "works very well" is what caused this problem in the first place. It doesn't work well at all when you reach the size limit on the Outlook.pst file (2 GB?) and Outlook...

Too many questions here to suit me, and not enough answers for me to confidently try to enlarge the file. Not when doing so successfully will only delay the inevitible fact that she just needs to do...

JoeP517, the more I think about trying to increase the Outlook.pst file size, the more I dislike the idea. In addition to the primary fact that I am not the techie that most of you are on this...

It appears that Outlook 2007's Outlook.pst file has a file size limit of 2 GB, because my wife has reached the limit more than a couple of times. I've run the built in utility to compact it each...

I thought about that, but I will make that decision when the time comes. It occurred to me that I have a good friend who is an amateur (but very skilled) photographer, and I am wondering if he can...

Jerry, given the facts as I know them from my homework on the subject, I will most likely pick one of the slide scanners out there (possibly on eBay) and finish the project. It just bothers me...

I had thought of having someone scan them for me, but based on my research most places charge from 25 to 40 cents per slide, which ought to run about $500. I can by a slide scanner and do it myself...

First of all, I hope this is the appropriate place for this thread, but I need some help. First of all, I am using the following hardware/software, then my question will follow:

Printer/scanner -...

As I said earlier, you may well be right, because I admit that I do not know. Typically, if it was going to happen it took a few weeks to a month on average, so I ought to find out around the end of...

Ah, I should have guessed that. No, I don't have a UPS on either machine.

PS: I was born and raised in the Palo Alto area one county south of you. :-)

No registry cleaners, neither common to both desktops or not. As for registry errors, my own computer is nearly new and is a replacement in the spring of this year when Dell gave up on fixing my...

curiousclive, I've change the screensaver settings on both machines now, so let me give it time to happen again so I can see if that is the issue. If the issue still happens, then I will disable...

curiousclive, I mean in ACTIVE use, including mouse, keyboard and such. That is why it seems so strange and I tend to think it is not the screensaver, but I honestly do not know what it is (or is...

ruirib, I have changed my screen saver settings and extended the time a bit on both machines. I'm not sure I understand how this could help any, but I admittedly have no clue what the issue is so I...

I'm not quite sure I understand your reply. I did change the time on the screensaver on both machines, but they are both desktops as I noted in my initial query and not laptops. Also, I do not see...

I must presume from the lack of replies that the rest of you are as puzzled as I am about this. So, barring some other suggestions, I will keep cleaning the disk out using Disk Cleanup because that...

I am kind of doing that now as a "work around" simply by cleaning out the cache manually from time to time, but I should not have to do that. I'd much prefer fixing the problem if I only knew what...

Please note in my initial query that in both desktop machines, this occurs when the machine IS IN ACTIVE USE, not when idle. Also, if what you say is true, then why does cleaning out the cash then...

My wife and I both have the same issue with our Dell XPS desktop machines, set up as follows in both cases:

Windows 7 SP1 with current updates
Internet Explorer 9 with current updates
