A good start

Post #44,995 by Ashton 7/10/02 2:09:03 AM Reply	A good start Aha.. a predatory banner ad to subsidize the 'free' -whatever-. Now I can quiz a bit more usefully. I've paid 0 attention to these alternates to pay n'play. Now I have to. Then too, have you any idea about the format of Juno's mail? If she can't accommodate the present setup and went with a local ISP and [mozilla, say] - I expect she'd want to drag the mail along.. dunno how that might or might not 'convert'. Meanwhile I'll get some more info. Many thanks, Ashton

Best way to save the mail is to forward the important ones to a different email account. Juno forces you to use their own Email interface, or a web Interface from their juno.com website. have her run MSCONFIG from the start menu and then disable some of the startup items and see if that makes a difference. Windows 98 has this, just have her hit the Start menu, and choose the Run command and then enter MSCONFIG into the text box and hit run. Then get to the Startup tab and have her read off the ones that are checked. Or better yet, have her disable all of them except for Scan Registry, Systray, and whatever AntiVirus software she is using. If she uses a Winmodem, be sure to keep that one checked as well. Keep the "Juno" ones checked if they are there. See if this solves the problem. I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

Think it's time for her to get a real ISP and trash this trashy outfit. Will pass on the mail-save idea - it has the advantage of being about bulletproof. {sigh} The ad-lingo on Juno site is just too reminiscent of the ad crap I received from Earthlink (which bought up my previous ISP) before I bailed: reams and reams of cutesy-toy crap - but if you wanted them to fix a tech problem, 7 different #s, none of them talking to the others. Even when I narrowed the problem to a fscked "mail-alias lookup table" in So-Cal - they couldn't just Fix It - for 4 more days; I finally got to a Sr. Manager a mere 50 miles away and offered to drive up to Sacramento and edit this *&^$% table myself. 2 hrs. later my mail was restored. At a mere $50/hr: they still owe me ~$300 IMhO. I expect this to be the story for millions soon - when there are only 3 ISPs left. Corp-Am Medicine - why not Everything. Gracias, Ashton
