Is there an easy or not massive pain in the ass way to transfer a couple thousand emails from one email client to the other? Specifically from Apple Mail to Microsoft Outlook. I've got a couple thousand emails I'd like to have on my desktop.

Not sure how Apple Mail works, but I believe you can EXPORT your emails/contacts to a file, then IMPORT that file (I believe a PST file) into Outlook. Just see which file types are acceptable from Outlook, and follow suit.

Thanks for the tip. I think I got Media Hint to work. Seemed like it was a paid service but I installed it and nobody asked for money. Weird. Will see how it goes. It definitely works though, so if I have to pay for it it's only four dollars a month and I don't mind doing that; it's just I don't use Netflix as much as I probably should so some months that might be four dollars for nothing...

Solution: use Netflix more!

Here's a fun one. I was trying to get rid of AdWare by deleting it from the registry. Whatever I did, Windows Explorer (not internet explorer) seems to not work.

The weird thing is though, my desk top still works as a base of operations for files. Also, if I go to save something somewhere, I have full access to all the folders and programs that reference folders (e.g. iTunes) but not if I attempt to get there via Windows explorer.

When I click on a folder on the desktop it says "C:\Users\Brow\Desktop\Files No such interface supported"

And of all the weird things, I can't save files from Paint (screenshots). I'm thinking I'll just scrap the thing and grab a new system.

Thoughts?

Did you create a "Restore" point?

If you did, then restore to it, then follow these steps:

How to Clean Up a Windows Spyware Infestation

...and you should be all good. The link is for older OS's (XP), but I still use the tools it references for Vista, 7, & 8 with sufficient results.

I wasn't sure where to post this but I have this weird issue with my computer lately where it will tell me that I've unplugged my headphones when they've remained plugged in, or that I've plugged them in when they've been in the whole time, thus resulting in sound issues.

Does anyone know why this might happen?

DwnWthVwls · 08-03-2014, 10:10 PM

Check to see if your soundcard has driver updates.. or maybe the headphone wire is ****ting out and not being recognized.

Do you still get sound from the headphones when it says they aren't plugged in?

Nope. Rebooting usually helps but would still be nice to avoid.
