Cannot log in with new users on my computer

Hippey
Hi there, I'm trying to create a user account on my system for games. However, when I try to log in, I don't get past that blue screen background default. It's like it doesn't want to load the Explorer shell at all.

Some time ago, I downloaded a utility that allowed me to back up some messages. I burned the files to CD then got my new computer. . . . I didn't really HAVE to have those messages w/ my new computer so I just re-set up my email etc.

McAfee update

Ace
Hey I got McAfee Virus Scan 6 but when I said to download updates I decided to stop because it was taking too long. So now everytime I log onto the net the little icon comes up where the time is shown and it's saying it's downloading the DAT file for McAfee.

Lost left pane when viewing a folder

Message Recall in Outlook 2000

whoisurdaddy
Hi guys, I sent an e-mail in Outlook 2000 and I tried recalling the e-mail but I never got anything back saying whether it was successful or not. I am sure I checked the option that will let me know whether the recall was successful or not.

SP1 problem

bbtak
I can't get Winxp SP1 to work smooth on my computer, everytime I close a window explorer, I have this delay, everything pauses for about 1 second, for example, when open windows explorer, browse around, close it and right click on something or click on the start button, it pauses for 1 second and then the menu pops up.
