Solved windows 7 says I need administrators permission

[Bonnie Jean]

HELP is this safe? I can't get my own server mail into my Incredimail account., I know it is crap but I paid for it and I make email stationery using part of incredimail and send it out to a group I own. I make it so it shows up in most other email servers. I called support from my server and I have everything set correctly.
Incredimail support said I should install Thunderbird Mozilla instead. Is this a good server? Years ago I left IE and went to Mozilla because people were saying how much better it worked and it crashed my system and I ended up getting a new pc. My server support said that is what they suggest people use now. If I get that I can still get support here or does it change. I would still have windows 7 but not IE. right? Will hold off a bit and hope one of my friends here can tell me to do it.

Mozilla Thunderbird is NOT a server, it is an email program just like Incredimail. has nothing to do with your Browser ie Internet Explorer. I think you are getting cnfused between Mozilla Firefox which is a browser like IE and Mozilla Thunderbird which is an email program! Just Google "Mozilla Thundrbird" and all will be revealed! It makes no difference what Windows operating System you have.ourse you will still get support here! You say quote:
"I know it is crap" What is, Incredimail, or where you have your email account hosted? If you are talking about Incredimail that is free so you didn't have to pay for that!
If you can't configure your email account on Incredimail i doubt you will do it on Thunderbird. All Email programs follow roughly the same confoguration process. Have you got the correct incoming (usually POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) server details. You then need your password and user name, usually your email address. You then should be given deatils from the email server of whether you need server authentication etc.
EDIT
Just a note, don't post your email details or address on the Forum. You will be flooded with spam emails if you do!

Yup it was FireFox that did it. Ok IncrediMail has a letter creator and I make letters that the top header, a framed picture usually for me, stays in place and there is a footer with artist info, copywrite for the picture etc. My groups name and how they can join. Along with it came a premium which meant no ads showing up all the time. I got it so many years ago I think it was $55 or something back then. It was lifetime. I still have fun making stationary when I have really bad days and can't do anything else here. You can tell today is not great for me. Only 4 hours of sleep and lots to do. Then I feel more pain and sort of fuzzy I hate it. Thank you my friend I will put it in since IM support says that often works. My server said I had everything filled in correctly with codes and port numbers so it is IE once again, which just crashed again. Will let you know how it went. I didn't think I would end up being such a needy person. Sorry.

But Internet Explorer is nothing to do with Incredimail. To use Incredimail you don't need to have IE open so how can it cause a crash?

 

[mitchell65]

Mitchell65. No I didn't know that. There are you tube downloaders all over the place. I thought it was fine. Strange that they don't allow cartoons from 1941 and old Christmas movies that were made for tv and not found on dvd to be downloaded. Life doesn't make sense.

Nothing srange about You Tubes rules at all. You Tube provide free service to us it's users. We can upload videos and view as many as we wish all at no cost to us. So how can You Tube provide this free service, it must cost them millions of dollars!!! But You Tube make their money from advertising. Evertime you go onto to a You Tube page you will see lots of adverts on that page. Every time You Tube records a visitor to that page the advertisers pay You Tube a fee. Now if you or anyone else downloads a video from You Tube and views it at home or passes it on to someone else then that is one or more less visitors to the original page. So You Tube looses money. That's why they make the rule that downloading from their site is against the rules. Straightforward commercial common sense.
I know there are downloaders on the internet as there are for Peer to Peer downloading, ie uTorrent. The software is legal, it's what people do with it that is often illegal. There are some (very few) legal reasons for using these downloaders though!

 

[Bonnie Jean]

I have no idea I can have IM on and all of a sudden comes a message that says Internet Explorer has to close and down it goes. Other times I get Incredimail is not responding and it closes. No idea. Ok I understand the You Tube thing now sorry.

I think it would be a good idea if you start a new Topic regarding these crashes you are having. This thread has changed direction a few times and now bears no relationship with the Topic Title. A new topic named perhaps.
"Internet Explorer and Incredimail crash without warning" or something meaningful like that!
Please also give a few more details on the new thread like the version of IE you are using and when you say "Incredimail says it is not responding and closes down" Are you sure it says "Not responding" because normally it wont shut down unless you go into task manager and tell it to! Plus details of exactly what you were doing immediately before the crash! This is very important. The more detail you give the better the help we can give you!

 

[Bonnie Jean]

I will try to start a new thread I did when the reinstall was done and it came right here. I will start one with the next thing I find out.

Please System Restore to the last time it was working correctly.

If this works take note of what you installed since then, which it will list, and don't reinstall it or if you do seek our help since something was likely able to sneak in to hijack your browser.

The install was working perfectly after we completed setup. I spent about eight hours working on it. Something installed since then has affected your browser and may be affecting the OS.

Most of this crapware you're installing is not needed and as Mitchell has pointed out some even breaks Youtube's rules.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

Yes Greg the install was perfect and everything was working but we hadn't put Incredimail in. I have the paid for version from the Incredimail site and do not get added spyware etc. I don't get the pop up ads that the free version had. I know you consider it crap and I know it has lots of problems but I am 95% housebound. I have not even been able to sit in the garden under the tree this year. No recliner there. I can't see well because of muscle spasms behind my eyes. On the PC I often have the view set to 150 while the screen resolution is 1024X700 something. I can't sit and read. I listen to audio books and what am I to do with my hands. I have incredimail and make stationery that can be used in most email programs. I must do something with my life. Incredimail for some reason will not connect the my server. I have called my server 2 times and we have gone over every single thing that I needed to connect. Port numbers etc. I am correct. I put in Mozilla Firefox as my server said they told people to put that in and Thunderbird. Ok both are in. Thunderbird connected to my server account using the same numbers I used in Incredimail. It is not some crap in the pc. I ran scans after I put that in and all were clean. If I go back to the restore point I will lose Thunderbird etc and still have Incredimail to install again. I am sorry you are upset. I know you spent hours and hours working with me and more working in the pc. As I said I must do something!
Yup I broke the law and should be locked up. I didn't know about YouTube and now I do. Good grief.

 

[gregrocker]

Why do you assume I am upset? I am not upset at all, just making neutral observations.

The solution to reverse something which you suspect has caused issues is to System Restore. It is your first line of defense. That's why I configured 15% of your 1tb HD for System Restore image storage so it would store more points and for longer to get back to a safe configuration if needed. It's there to be used any time something you do messes up performance, so you can do it over (or differntly) with our help until it is stable.

You also have a Win7 backup image stored on your external HD that can be used to reimage to when it was running perfectly if the Restore Points won't work and/or it's become unbootable.

Bonnie, why not try a web mail program like Yahoo or Outlook to see how it suits you. This is another suggestion I made early in the thread to make your life easier. None of this has any effect whatsoever on your disability nor does it come into play when it comes to how you get your mail. You need a backup mail address anyway. If it suits you then you can phase over - no need to jump all at once.

Yahoo has many different stationeries in the free edition.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

I have all my mail coming into Mozilla ThunderBird now. I don't care if I don't get mail into my Incredimail I want to be able to send out letters I make. I can spend hours making frames and finding pictures etc. Thunderbird was suggested by both my server and Incredimail. It took me hours to get ThunderBird in and I don't want to start over. My mail is often full of pictures and things. I hate Yahoo and Hotmail it is hard to see them and makes something that should be fun tedious. If I restore back now just because 1 program doesn't work how will that help? That is the point I am making everything else works great. I like most of what I have learned about ThunderBird. I am sorry I thought you sounded upset that I wrecked what you did and I didn't. I have checked that Manage ad ons over and over and nothing has been added. I configure myself rather than chose the recommended install and you taught me that. I really think you and the others that helped are wonderful. I know I stumble a lot in what I do. I am often feeling like there is a fog around me. I wanted you to know the crap I put in gives me things to do and to get away from the real world and forget how I feel.

 

[gregrocker]

May I ask what took hours installing Thunderbird? It's a simple download and install, isn't it? If you explain what took hours maybe we'll understand what changes were made that are causing your browser to crash. This shouldn't happen.

Since you have Thunderbird you might also consider Firefox which I and many others here use for its better performance and stability. You'd then also have a back up browser. Adding a second browser also the way we troubleshoot browser crashes to see if it's solely a browser problem or a System problem.

I'm glad you're sticking with the safe downloading and install methods I showed you.

Can you explain a bit more what is happening with these crashes? If they persist would you install Firefox and let it become your default browser until you see if it resolves the problem? We will help you set it up if you want, but its pretty simple and self-explanatory during install.

 

[Bonnie Jean]

For some reason ThunderBird did not find the server. I tried over and over and finally shut down and went away from the pc. 2 hours later I came in and turned on the pc and there was ThunderBird installed. No idea what happened to make it go in when I was shut down. I did install Mozilla Firefox. My server and my friend told me that IE was crashing for a lot of people and with Firefox that hasn't been happening. Most of the on the net people have said they have changed over to that. Of course now nothing is crashing. Most of it was in Incredimail just not responding and shutting down. Then with the reinstall of course it was gone and putting in the new it doesn't work good enough to see what happens. I am trying to get used to Firefox it is so different and I haven't found things I have to read through the instructions on the net. I am just to exhausted to do so now. My heating pads in bed are heating up and my pain pill is starting to work it is time to get in bed and not dream except for sweet dreams tonight. See I do take your advice. My new mentor. Good Night

Hi Bonnie Jean. I have had some success with DVDFlick in the past. It definitely supports PAL and is free. DVD Flick

Hi Bonnie Jean
From your last post it does seem as if you are terribly confused between your server, your browsers and your email programs. Would you like one of us to give you a quick guide to all three? I'm quite happy to type it out and then let others edit if they wish!

 

[Bonnie Jean]

I had firefox and thunderbird mixed up. I got it now but sure hate both. I know I have to learn how to do things but there is no nice file,edit,favorite etc tab and I am lost without it. I am getting help in setting up my Incredimail now from Incredimail support. But she needs screen shots of the Thunderbird settings and I don't know how to find them. I know I have Firefox browser but doubt I will use it much as I do find things I like to put in my favorites so I can save them and not have to look for them on line again. I don't find anything but bookmarks and really not much help in finding anything else. I will get guides on line and see if they make sense. But at least Thunderbird is piling in the mail like crazy. Do you anything about gmail? When mail comes in and should go to the inbox it spreads out from in box to important to all mail and into trash. Some mails are in each of them some only in one. I have gotten help pages on how to fix it but it doesn't help. I stopped the pop because of that and closed out all but 2 gmails because of this mess. It just carried on over all we have done here. If you think there are things I should know feel free to send whatever it is. I know a new program or browser etc all take time to learn. I have had IM since I got a computer as I wanted to make my own stationery. So have only had a Yahoo that I sent news letters and things I could go and look at fast and used it as a place that kept most of the spam away. I had several gmail accounts and had all mail saved. That way I could go back and find info that came in to use back in some groups I belong to. So I divided my groups up into the gmail and I saved lots of looking when it was only 1 or 2 emails coming into 1 gmail. I have had to leave most places now I am no longer able to keep up but would like to stay with the 3 I am in and have my mail saved on line until I delete it, but popped into my IM so I can read it from one place. If that makes sense. Had to do some things today and hurt bad but so normal if I wait till I don't I will never get on here. Thanks Mitchell.

[Bonnie Jean]

Thank you am bookmarking them and will keep using till I do it! I tried to find a firefox and thunderbird user manuals but I like them on line. Will probably have to get pdf files instead.
