Let's take another tack with my email problem.

Is there anyone on this forum proficient enough, ethical enough, moral
enough, and willing, that I can trust to take over my computer using
"pcanywhere" and watch what my Eudora 7.email program does when I
check mail.

Then perhaps they would have a better idea of what is causing this
extremely annoying problem.

Peace

Re using "pcAnywhere," you can monitor and control what's going on,
and can disconnect at any time you want, and can elect to receive
a connection only when you want, and/or using a password
which you can change, so unless you set it up
to receive and allow control when you're not even around,
the risk can be kept as low as when letting
a service person or a plumber into your home, say
(actully lower, since pulling the plug at your end
will absolutely disconnect them at once).

Apparently you are a very untrustworthy person,
and "Knowledge" should not let you anywhere near his computer(s),
unless logged in as a "guest" who might be confined to one folder, say.

In fact, no one should even let anyone even come physically near
their computer, because if they are a nut case, they might
do the same -- much as any driver coming toward me on the road
might just decide to swerve directly into me,
and if they suddenly do, I guess I'm done for
(a computer can always be restored from backup, however :)

We have had to let some vendors into our systems using pcAnywhere,
and of course I have had to access many clients' computers,
both physically and remotely, but fortunately neither they nor I
have yet gone berserk and deleted any entire hard drive.

Apparently you also know how to delete someone's hard drive
when they let you only remotely view, and not control the computer,
telling them what they ought to be doing as you watch,
but I guess we're not considering that option.

Hmm.. I wonder whether anyone here has posted any "advice"
which if followed would wreck someone's computer,
just for "Trick or Treat" fun?

Well, so much for thinking the worst;
hope that someone reading this lives in a safer place
than most places must be out there :)

Point your video camera at the screen and record it;
upload the video to a free file host and post its URL;
this has at least a chance of being hacker-safe
(or nut-case safe :)

What the heck -- put it on YouTube
and get thousands more viewers who might help :)

That's what usually happens, all right, and
your writing this brought back a memory to me
of when I first arrived at a new client's office
in a large New York City office building,
introduced myself and asked where we'd be working.

I was shown to an office with computer terminals
and left there. After about one minute,
I realized that this wasn't the right company;
I'd gotten off the elevator at the wrong floor :)

Now this post makes the most sense of all to me. Except I don't have a
video camera yet. I'm not the most gorgeous man in the world. So I
don't win point with people by how attractive I am.

I am one of the most sensible, fair-minded, humanistic people when it
comes to speaking on political and other human matters. My looks don't
matter there. It's the truth or falsity of what I'm saying that is
important.

I do not believe that video cameras coast that much any more. I can
probably get a top shelf one for $150.00 or so.

So I will go out to Best Buy, or Staples on the 1st and pick up one.

Then I will do exactly as this gentleman suggests. :-)

I've been on this forum for years and years though. You all seem to be
top shelf people to me; not psychopaths like I encounter on
Rec.radio.shortwave, or alt.gossip.celebrities, or
soc.culture.African.American.

I'm still getting tons of 10054 and 10060 errors right now. I also get
an error (13) today for the first time. Something about it can't
create a directory, or file when it already exists.

I was having trouble surfing all this week. I would enter a site and
the computer would either just sit there, or it would download 2/3rds
of the page and stop.

So even though my normal protection is Bitdefender Antivirus 10, Kerio
4 personal firewall, and Webroot Spysweeper with anti-virus 5.3, they
didn't seem to be able to do anything about the problem.
us
So I went to "download.com" and downloaded Ad-A-Ware, and Spybot.

Ad-A-Ware found 13 critical objects that my paid programs didn't.

I noticed it stopped a long time on my "browser cache" when it moved
on it found 13 errors there. When it finished and I removed them the
computer started surfing faster than the 10MB speed I have. I got one
speed test at 10.2mb and another one at 10.5

So whatever was slowing my computer down to dialup speed most have
been doing it's dirty work in my "browser cache"

Spybot found 151 errors that my top paid programs didn't. I removed
all of them and the only thing I notice different is that error (13)
message with Eudora.

So I would advise you people to keep Spybot and Ad-A-ware on hand.

Today is the first harmonious day I have had this week with the
computer. It feels good.

Thanks for the wonderful advice.

Between now and the 1st starting immediately, I think I will play
around with Thunderbird. I'll also start pricing some cameras in a few
minutes.

Peace

Although it's nice to have a complete video,
you can also capture still "screen shots" at any time
by pressing "Print Scr[ee]n" on your keyboard,
which saves your screen image to your clipboard,
from where it can then be pasted into a document
(using even the built-in Windows WritePad)
or into an image processing program such as "Irfan View" (free),
which can compress bulky bitmaps by saving as "JPG" instead,
after which you can readily email or upload those images.

I suppose I should have suggested this first :)

Are you using "X1 super fast search"?

I suppose it to be fine to turn it off,
even to delete (or rename) the "Search" folder
(after closing Eudora) and let it be regenerated.

Isn't *everyone's* "Application Data" always a "hidden" directory anyway?

So that's no problem, I hope!

Thanks for the info; there are 16 "Application Data" folders
for various users in my computer under "C:\Documents and Settings"
and all but one of these has the "Hidden" attribute
(the one which does not is "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\2C3JVFW6\localhost\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data" -- what a mouthful!)

Those of the above found under "All users" are marked "hidden,"
the "Default User" folder is itself hidden, and all default-location
Eudora data folders are somewhere under one of the hidden "App Data" folders.

But Eudora works with them -- "hidden" is not paid much attention,
except when listing files:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366861.aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/hk3bk11y(VS.71).aspx
The hiddden attribute "Indicates that the item exists
but should not be displayed in a user-oriented browser."

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms676071.aspx
"This has no effect on the compatibility of 32-bit applications.
Applications can still display and open these files in the
Open File dialog box. The command line still works with these files."

The posted path name might have been edited
(as was the one I quoted above, to anonymize the user name),
but that can't be much of an issue, can it?

Ok,
I turned off "X!" super dooper search. I increased the timeouts from
120 seconds to 300.

And I dropped the other thing from 75,000 down to 4,096.

I also set the threading to "2"

When I restarted it, it checked all the accounts this time without any
error messages of either type.

Now my web browsers after I surf for a few minutes are beginning to
say "Stopped" at the bottom left hand corner and they don't do
anything after that.

It is happening to fire fox 2.0 right now, but it happens to Opera
and all the others after a few minutes.

It is really maddening. I'm having a horrible week online. I have been
running virus and spyware checks all week trying to locate what is
causing that to no avail.

I have run ad-a-ware and spybot as well as Webroot 5.3 and
Bitdefender, but it continues to browse for about 20 minutes and then
comes to a dead halt. I can't even make it go to the home page when it
locks up. :-(

If I could find the people who are behind this madness, I would give
them a public flogging and then 20 years behind bars.

Maybe I can see some daylight at the end of the tunnel today 2-25-07
1630

After a weak of struggling with this computer, watching it go dead
after surfing for a few minutes.

I finally found an article that said that the "dumprep" problem in
task manager was caused by some settings in "Error reporting" under
the "system" module in task manager. so I set the to not do error
reporting and so far after 30 minutes, I'm not getting any performance
problems. Programs are closing out when I close them as they should
instead of staying in the task manager forever like before with six or
seven dumpreps going.

The Eudora problems seems to have cleared up after I turned off
indexing.

I also removed two more problem files a couple of hours ago.
"ciademon.exe" and "civs.exe" They have something to do with indexing
also. They would appear in my task manager every time I booted up.
they were not in the task manager of my backup computer which is also
running XP Pro SP2

So let me see if I can send usenet posts now. I haven't been able to
do so for over 12 hours. They go halfway and then die.

Peace :-)

Glad to hear that relief has been found,
and apparently it was unrelated to Eudora itself,
so no one here came up with any solution for you :(

Here is "Process Explorer," an alternative which is
far better than and also replaces the Windows program
known as "Task Manager" (or at least it used to have this option);
as you can see from the URL, it now comes directly from Microsoft,
which bought out "Sysinternals.com" (and Mark Russinovich :)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/ProcessExplorer.mspx

Don't worry -- Microsoft has probably not done much more damage
to Mark's brilliant original Windows utilities
than to add yet another "license agreement" to them :)

I hope that your long travail vs. Windows has ended,
and best wishes.

Thanks for the help. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I just
continued living with it until today. See my other message as to what
I want to do.

As far as the browsers coming to a stop, and having to reboot. I did
three things that have my computer running at 200% now. All systems go
except for Eudora.

First, after searching the Internet for weeks, I finally stumbled upon
a forum where someone else was having that problem and here is what
one expert told him to do.

Start-run-cmd-enter

Then type ipconfig /release-enter

When it finishes type ipconfig /renew-enter

I had around 75 ports open according to my charter tech. This
procedure must have closed many of them or something. Immediately
after doing that all the browsers returned to working properly without
stalling after an hour or so.

My speeds are faster than they have ever been. I have 10mb down, and
I'm getting test speed of...well here is the latest one.

This is the fastest inbound speed ever!

TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.3.3e
click START to begin
Preparing Speedtest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Done
running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 950.64Kb/s
running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 10.83Mb/s

Your speed is 197.07 times faster than 56Kb dialup

Before doing the IPCONFIG thing they hovered between 8.70Mb/s and
9.30Mb/s

Second, I also downloaded Spybot, and Adaware and ran them. Both of
them picked up a lot of stuff that Webroot spysweeper, and BitDefender
version 10 apparently missed.

Third, I added an additional 384MB of ram memory.

That seems to have made a big difference also. Programs are loading
faster now, and the hard drive doesn't chatter constantly like it was
doing before.

So now the web pages snap into place and the hard drive light rarely
comes on.

If I can only get Eudora working. The same version works fine on my
backup computer which is older, slower, and less memory than my Dell
XPS T-600.

C'est la vie.

Good day mates,

Well, last Monday I doubled the ram in my computer, and bought a
beautiful 22" Samsung 225bw!

After over a decade of using big LG Studioworks 995E monitor which
stuck out about ten yards in the rear, I finally have my first flat
panel. Boy is it a beauty. It almost like looking at a drive in
screen.

I was concerned about how much detail it would show. However the
colors are almost lifelike, and very true. The resolution seems to
equal or better my old monitor. Now all programs fit in the screen
with room to spare. I was also worried about how I would be able to
see such small text. It only operates on 1680X1050.

Yet as I type now, the text is the same size as it was on the other
monitor at 1024X768, but there is a lot more that can be displayed on
the screen.

So I'm happy as a mouse in a cheese factory.

I got one more thing that I'm enjoying even more. I purchased a
day/night home security system from Sams for $129.00 It came with two
color/infrared cameras that I placed in the living room window. Now I
can see what all of these criminal neighbors of mine are doing while
I'm sitting here typing.

http://tinyurl.com/34vql3


It is really really nice and makes me feel a lot more safer. I can't
wait to upgrade it to a PTZ system that comes with VCR's that will
record for two months on one 8 hour VCR tape, and they have nice color
CCTV monitors that come with them

Right now I'm using my 27" Quasar and because of it's size, I can see
very well. The color is real nice too. The one thing I'm itching to
get is a camera that will zoom in 25 or more times, and point, tilt,
zoom.

Those range around $1,000 each so it will be a few months before I
budget for that. I just my VCR to tape things while I am asleep.

http://tinyurl.com/2l4grz


That is the good news. The bad is that even after I uninstalled Eudora
7.1 and placed it on my "D" drive it is still doing the same thing. I
totally wiped out the second copy that had been installed.

I have now happily without a hitch been using Thunderbird for about
four days. I tried everything suggested here except for one, or two
things.

First all of my mailboxes are still in the directory
c:\documents and settings\default\application data\qualcomm\eudora\*.*

When I installed Eudora it didn't give me the option to change that
location. Katrina said something about my needing to move all of my
mailboxes and other stuff to another location.
That sounded to complicated. so I didn't try it. That might be why I'm
still having the same problem

Can someone give me precise steps as how to move all of that data to a
folder by the same name on the "D" drive?

If that doesn't do it, then after ten years, it is curtains for Eudora
on my primary computer.

True, Eudora doesn't bother suggesting moving existing mail folders,
but you can move (or copy) them yourself to wherever you want them,
and then change your Eudora shortcut (or create a new one)
to tell Eudora to use the new one when that shortcut starts Eudora
(or you can tell Eudora to create a new folder upon installation,
then move or copy your old data to it).

By having any number of different shortcuts, each pointing
to a different mail folder, you can then have as many
completely independent mail systems as you want
(I have quite a few, some locally and some on network drives).

First copy your existing mail folder to any place you like;
you could put the folder under any path you want on your D: drive;
there is no benefit to duplicating all the intermediate path components
such as "documents and settings\default\application data\qualcomm";
I'd also suggest renaming your original old folder,
to prevent inadvertent use of it by any old shortcut.

Then see the following slightly outdated tutorial
(your current path to where Eudora.exe is installed is probably
different, but you can just substitute the actual current path):
http://eudora.com/techsupport/tutorials/win_multiple.html

Other methods for creating a new shortcut to Eudora
are to copy any existing shortcut that currently starts Eudora,
or to locate the current Eudora.exe program, right-click it
and choose "Send to...desktop" -- then modifify the copied
or new shortcut as the tutorial indicates,
so that the first path on the shortcut's command line
points to Eudora.exe, while the second path points to
your Eudora mail folder (containing Eudora.ini, In.mbx, etc.)

After moving your data and starting Eudora with the new shortcut,
be sure to inspect the option about the location of your
Attachments folder, because it may need re-specifying
if it had originally been explicitly named.

It is certainly frustrating to have an ongoing problem;
it may be the case that every such problem ever before encountered
had a solution, unless it was an ISP-caused problem that only they
could fix, but one's patience is bound to wear out some time.

Sorry if no one could help -- maybe Katrina will come back!

Whatever happened to this formerly good news:

"The Eudora problems seems to have cleared up

All about error 10054:

http://eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1357hq.html

All about most common errors while sending/receiving mail:
http://eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1892hq.html

Other common interference comes from anti-virus email inspectors,
default mailboxes too large (In, Out, Trash, Junk),
or too many connections attempted at one time;
there is even a problem from one brand of Network Interface Card (NIC).

Hi John

Unfortunately, it only lasted a few weeks.

My computer began telling me it was "Unable to write" every time I
started a program

I struggled with that until this morning. After trying everything, I
finally loaded a fresh copy of windows on the computer.

Now Eudora works perfectly. It doesn't give me any error messages. The
computer is much quicker also I guess because a lot of the garbage has
been removed.

I still have one major new issue that has started this morning.

When I open any of my browsers, I can surf to a half dozen sites, and
then it stops!

When I enter a new site and click enter, it says "done" in the lower
left hand corner.

It doesn't go anywhere.

I had this problem a month ago and someone told me how to go into the
Windows \system32 directory and check something that handles that. I
saved the information in my Act 8 file manager. I deleted it though as
it would no longer talk to XP. Now it doesn't want to reinstall. So I
don't have access to what it was that caused this problem

I have run spybot adaware, and spysweeper, but they don't find
whatever is making the browsers come to a slow stop.

Email works fine, usenet works fine, but I can't surf the net at all.
:-(

My 22inch Samsung is mahvalous, but I haven't had any peace from the
rest of the system where I can sit back and enjoy it.

Mon Dieu! If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any at all. :-(

Indications of system-wide malfunction should therefore
always be considered and mentioned, since these point
to issues outside of any particular application.

When disk space, memory, swap and fragmentation,
mboard heatstroke, etc. become critical,
everything is apt to die at once.

Someone here? Or on any other newsgroup?

You could search for your own posts and threads via Google,
and track down any past conversations in newsgroups:

http://groups.google.com/advanced_search

When I find useful info, I mail it to myself at several
independent free webmail providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail);
I figure that at least one of those ought to stay in business
for a while -- hopefully Gmail, which has the best search,
the best anti-spam, free POP (up and down),
and by far the most generous disk quota.

> Email works fine, usenet works fine, but I can't surf the net at all.

Get two computers; use one for browsing and the other for news&mail :)

Well,

Eudora has been perfect for the last few days since I reinstalled
Windows XP PRO SP2

I had four email accounts and it was checking them flawlessly.

About an hour ago, i added the other five that I use for a total of
nine.

Eudora immediately began giving me these 10060, 10054 messages again.
It is doing it every time I check mail.

So I deleted one account and now I have eight. However, it is still
timing out on several of the accounts. I will try to figure out a
couple more to delete.

it seems that it becomes uncomfortable when I have more than five
different email accounts.

I'm using a Dell XPS T-600 Pentium 3 with 768MB of ram

Do any of you all have more than five email accounts with this latest
version of Eudora?

When I use Thunderbird, it handles all nine flawlessly

Maybe I just use Eudora for the good email, three accounts, and use
Thunderbird for the other accounts that receive mostly junk mail?

Eudora error accessing file (at startup, after Eudora logo displays)
cannot create a file when that file already exists.
and cannot write to folder...

This seems to be a Windows related problem... something is screwing with it.

2 completely 100% different hardware pcs, encountered identical problem for Windows 10 Pro and Home editions this am but was working ok 5 hours before.

I set the qualcomm/eudora folder to r/w and .exe to compatible with win 7.
no error msg now but nothing at all appears when trying to start it, not even the eudora startup logo.

Checked for recent updates, no recent updates listed except for daily windows malicious software removers for last 3 days

reboot done due to new update available:

KB3116869
Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586

This appeared to mimic the same stuff seen during the original install of 10 pro.
After several reboots, with 1 black screen that took ~5 min to clear (not seen on Home edition pc), got to what appeared to be the new windows 10 installation info spam txt... about 15 min time for this to complete.

Checked for new updates, found history now said no updates ever had been installed.... odd...
checked for new available, a few were done now.

Eudora is now working ok, it seems.
Checked folder, found was set to read only now.
the .exe is still set for compatibility mode to win 7.

All of this makes me think a registry roll back was done by windows, without calling it that.

Hope this helps all you Eudora lovers!!
