System Restore

Noel, thanks for the quick response. Could not get into safe mode either.
Followed the instructions in the link and did access MSCONFIG. I tried
launching the system restore but it wouldn't launch the program. Any other
suggestions? Your help is greatly appreciated.

I was able to do a system restore using the ME start up disk. It seems to be
working again. Thanks for your help. I think it might be time to start
backing up my files--don't know how much longer this hard drive is going to
last.

Glad to hear you got back up and running - I assume you mean that you were
able to do a registry restore?
How far back did you have to go?

Data backups are ALWAYS a good idea. Never wait until you /have/ to do it -
it's usually to late by that time!

My emails are displayed at 10 or 12 point, but print out at about 15 point or larger. I have tried, but can't find any way to
adjust the printing font either on the Canon printer Properties, or using F9. Any ideas, please?

If you are referring to e-mails printed out from Outlook Express, the font
size when printed is controlled by the View | Text Size setting in
Internet Explorer since OE uses the IE print engine.

Mike,
Many thanks for that. I was under the mistaken impression this control only affected the size on screen. Problem solved.

Jim.
