Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / June 2007OE and XP 64 2 problems
New computer therefore fresh install. 1st problem, spell check gives an error message when trying to do the check or when sending, I have always check set. The listed dictionary is English and there are entries in the custom dictionary. 2nd problem, I read newsgroups from 3 different accounts. Autodesk, Rhino3d and my isp. I can download files from the last two, but all files from Autodesk are corrupted or incomplete. They can be downloaded with a different computer. I have office 2003. I tried upgrading to IE 7, IE 6 originally loaded but no joy. Any ideas?

If your refering to the spell check, it's a very generic "An error occured while the spelling was being checked", not much help. If your refering to the download problem, it's corrupted file or images that have only a few lines at the top of the image. I suspect the problem is the same for both, not all of the file is being received.

On the PC that works, are you also using OE? Are the messages multi-part (e.g. 1 of x, 2 of x, etc.)? What type of encoding is being used? MIME/Base64, Uuencode, yEnc, etc.?

For part 2. Yes, text is fine, just attachments Yes, OE for both Not multi part I assume UUE but may be mime, definetly not yEnc As a test, I tried with Agent and had no problem getting attachments on the troubled machine BF > 1) Spelling Command Is Not Available in OE for Win XP 64-bit Edition > http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308078 [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >> Thanks, >> BF With the corrupted attachments, are you able to do a File, Save Attachments? If so, how does the file size of the saved attachment compare to the attachments when using the other PC or Agent? If the sizes are OK, do you have better luck opening the saved attachments rather than trying to open from within OE?

[quoted text clipped - 44 lines] >>> Thanks, >>> BF Yes, I jsut tried and I can save but an xls showing as 1800 kb on OE saved as 3 kb and Excel will not open it, as you might expect. I posted the same queston on an Acad group and have had only one reply. He claims to have the same problem, but has switched to Thunderbird. So it seems to be a compatibility problem between Adesk and XP 64. Appreciate you help, let me know if you think of anything else. I'll update if anything comes up at the other end.

Is that also running XP 64 or another version?

[quoted text clipped - 66 lines] >>>>> Thanks, >>>>> BF Tried two First one OE shows 68kb the NWS was 67kb Second OE shows 1800 kb and NWS was 1700 kb Both case the attached file would not open The computer that can access the newsgroup files successfully has XP 32 bit One responder on the Adesk newsgroup reports success using Window Mail, I assume on Vista 64, so the problem seems to be with just that newsgroup and OE on 64 bit, Again, I appreciate your concern Mike.

[quoted text clipped - 68 lines] >>>>>> Thanks, >>>>>> BF If you would like, you may send me one of the problem messages (the 67 KB one) and I'll take a look at it. It's best if you zip the message so that I get an exact copy of it. Then Right click the saved NWS file and select Send To, Compressed (zipped) folder. Then e-mail me the resulting ZIP file.
