  1. I clicked on your link and got this.

    This is with a 19" screen and the resolution set at 1024x768.

    I changed the resoultion to 800x600, and got this.

    Looks like the correct resolution is somewhere in between.

    Your screen looks pretty wide, try setting the resolution to one of these:

    1360x768

    1600x900

    1600x1024

  2. Cheap parts and lousy tech support. You'd be better off spending the $250 on a gun and shooting yourself in the foot. It would be less painful than dealing with a eMachine computer.

  3. I added 512 to the 256 that came with my HP and it never missed a beat. Just drop in the open slot and reboot. Go to Crucial and use their memory advisor to find the compatible memory for your computer. If you are running XP, it's probably eating over 200Mb all by itself. Also, adding a graphics card will make a BIG difference.

  4. I have my Gmail forwarded to my ISP account so I can check both at the same time. I also have a Yahoo account, Email.com, Hotmail, and 2 with Mail2world.com. I use Gmail mostly for web sites and the ISP for personal stuff.

    Some sites that require your email address, will not accept an address from a free webmail account like Yahoo or Hotmail. That's where Mail2world comes in handy. They let you make up your own domain name and it gets past the webmail filters.

  5. Hey cowboy, glad you got it worked out. Good going. Those things in Directory Service are just default address search sites that Outlook stuck in there. About as useless as teats on a boar, don't worry about them.

  6. Hey sniper, its cpu-net.net. I think I did what you said and evrything seems to be set right. but it shows like 8 different providers in there . should I just delete all those & start over. I really dont want to reformat now that everythings working & trust Me I can find netzero,s stuff & get rid of it. Once I have email. But thanks. Cowboy

     

    Unless you purposely routed Gmail or some other account to Outlook, your cpu-net account should be the only one there. Try setting it up from scratch. Here is the link to cpu-net's Outlook Express set up instructions.

  7. What is your new ISP? Open Outlook Express and click Tools>Accounts>Properties>Servers and check to see if your Incoming and Outgoing servers are correct. I use PeoplePC and mine are the same for in and out. Net Zero can really screw up a computer. My brother used the free ISP they had five years ago for a couple of months and it kept screwing things up for months after he uninstalled it. He finally got mad and reformatted his computer to get rid of all traces of Net Zero.
