TSGL: TSGL mail delivery --- Re: Messages not ...

[Eric and Merna Bitter]

Hi, Engineman.

Your email below took just over two days to reach my Westnet mailbox.  I am posting this to the List with a copy to you at your email address.

Because of comments in various posts I have started checking the archives as a lot of the emails are appearing there before I receive them.  (In fact, two that I posted three days ago have not yet come back to me.  The first one I sent only to the List, the second to the List with a copy to the thread originator.)

The current month (in date order) is at   
http://www.tsgserver.com/pipermail/list_tsgserver.com/2007-March/012343.html  
and (in thread order) at
http://www.tsgserver.com/pipermail/list_tsgserver.com/2007-March/thread.html

where (so far) only Don Penlington has provided an answer to your question at
http://www.tsgserver.com/pipermail/list_tsgserver.com/2007-March/012343.html
(which sounds good to me, especially because we did something similar some years ago).

It seems weird to check the archives (= out of date?) for something not yet received, and I don't know how often they are updated (daily?), but it's helping me to keep more up to date than to depend on the emails only.  I prefer the email format with the archives for looking back and look forward to things getting back to normal once again.

Last year after a bad day of computer problems one of the women I was working with (legal office) said to someone else, "Merna would say this is an educational experience."  

Merna also says it's too bad life has to be filled with so many educational experiences.

Regards from
(ex-teacher, ex-secretary)  Merna

For  days I have been reading all the replies to Chuck's original email  below
which was received in my Westnet mailbox today (March 04) at 9:14  am.   When
I click on File - Properties in his email they confirm  what is written
below, i.e. it was sent on Feb 26 at 2:09 am as  indicated.

I've been reading about people's problems with delays in receiving message  
but was not having any problems myself. At 3/2/2007 12:27:28 P.M. Pacific  
Standard Time I sent an e-mail to this group with a question entitled "no  sound". 
So far I have not received any replys to my question, not even someone  
saying " why don't you format and do a clean reinstall", which is an approach  that 
I don not care to take.
 I'm wondering if I'm a victim of the slow message problem even though  my 
copy of my message came to me in about 5 minutes.
Below is a repeat of the description of my problem:

Several days ago I bought a 20" flat panel monitor and installed it with  no 
problems. When I installed two applications that came with it,(one to  rotate 
the picture and one to adjust the color) my system crashed. When I  rebooted 
Windows barely functioned. Everything ran slowly and the device  manager screen 
was blank. I suspected malware so I ran AVG, Spybot, Kaspesky,  McAfee and 
several others, only finding minor nuisance adware.
 I did an XP repair install from my CD. No sound. There was a yellow  mark 
next to audio devices in device manager  and when I tried  uninstall 
driver/reinstall driver the yellow mark disappeared but still no  sound.
 I went to the Compaq website and downloaded and installed the  recommended 
"ADI SoundMax AC97 Audio Driver for Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP".  Still no sound. 
In media player and in "sounds, speech and audio devices" I get the  message 
"no audio device installed"
I did a repair install again from a  different CD. Still no luck. Both times 
when I was repair installing I got a  message that it was having a hard time 
finding two files: wmp.ocx and  wmpcd.dll. I did a search of my system and 
found both in system32. I tried  replacing them from another machine with similar 
characteristics but I don't  know if the replacement "took."
Still no sound, no audio device. Please  help. What do I do next?
