Thanks to don570 and to bigpup . I booted up as you suggested with pfix=ram, after which the stuck cursor was free. Thanks for your help.

SOLVED. I have had tahrpup installed for some time but when I recently booted up I found I could not move the pointer. except with the 'tab' key which wasn't much help; I tried a few things such as a simple reboot and then booting from a new installation i.e. selecting choice '0', but in all cases t...

To Galbi. Saludos amigo! I am using the Thunderbird email client. As it happened my problem occurred with the email notifying me of this message: I down loaded the message to 'inbox' then clinked on the message from murga-linux. to 'open in browser' to be greeted with the message 'choose an applicat...

I have been having trouble with corrupted links on downloaded messages which on, clicking respond with a message similar to 'open with an application' and are unfathomable to me. I am running slacko 5.3 on a Siemens Fujitsu Esprimo desktop. For example; after receiving an email message (from eBay pe...

Thanks to bigpup for the message; next time this happens I'll send details of the offending link to you.

After clicking on a newly downloaded site I or an email frequently get connected to a message saying 'go to an application' rather than the link I was expecting. Can someone tell me how to correct this please?

Thanks to Sylvander for pointing me it the right direction about \pupsave.

Thanks to Sylvander on modifying pupsave to include emails; a really useful tip.

Glad to say I have now resolved this problem. The authentication setting in 'Inbox/ Edit/ server settings /security settings was wrong. It should have been STARTTLS normal password. I must have tinkered with the setting to "None" I'll mark this as 'solved'. - - - SOLVED - - -

Thanks for all your very helpful emails. Unfortunately my computer is not behaving as it should and is not saving properly to the hard disc. I might have to start a using tablet I recently bought until I get things back to normal; so there will be some delay in chasing up my lost emails I am afraid.

Thanks to Darry 1966 for your reply. I am using SeaMonkey with Puppy Tahr6.03. and IMAP. Hope this helps.

I am running my emails on seamonkey but suddenly my inbox is empty. Everything else appears OK. I can't find what is wrong. Do I have to re-install?

Thanks to labbe5 for the links to some useful stuff.

Thanks for all the info.I have installed all the updates but that did not cure the problem. At present my printer just hangs when I try to print an e-mail or any thing else. However it work OK if I print a test page from the printer console itself but if I go to CUPS and select 'maintenance' 'print ...

Thanks for your reply. I tried your words in u/c and l/c but the printer wasn't having it! Perhaps someone else has some other idea. Thanks.

I am running a 3GHz ESPRIMO with tahrpup 6. I few days ago I found that my printer (an HP psc 1200) refuses to print. I tried to print a test page from CUPS and got the error message "A user name and password are being requested by http//local host 603" I have looked at a few possible caus...

I am running Slacko 5.7 on a Siemens Esprimo P5905 at 3GHz. To recover from crashes I want to install a backup file. Can someone tell me the easiest way of doing this please? Also can the necessary software be downloaded as a PUPPY PET file? Thanks for all help received.

My machine is an Esprimo P5905 and am running Slacko 5.7. at 3GHz. Recently I was reading an e-mail and clicked on 'print' causing the machine to crash. It also displayed an error message enabling me to send a report to Thunderbird. In the meantime can someone tell me where to start looking to diagn...

Thanks for additional info. I'll let you know how I get on.

Muchas gracias.

To: Galbi. Thanks for your reply but it does not help me much without the name and full details of the relevant puppy linux software required. I managed to do the same thing about a year ago using peasy scan etc. as on puppy, but I forget how. There was no need for any external utility. I am relucta...
