Hi,
One good way to get rid of that would be to post your problem on Daniweb and let someone help you.
To do that, you need to supply a lot of detail about your machine, the OS, and the problem. When it started happening, what you downloaded, installed, uninstalled, what you have done to try and fix it. etc. That way someone reading your post would have some idea on how to advise you.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Good luck.

To do that, you need to supply a lot of detail about your machine, the OS, WINDOWS XP. and the problem. When it started happening, ABOUT A MONTH AGO....what you downloaded, installed, uninstalled,NOTHING I KNOW OF ... what you have done to try and fix it. etc.I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT WHY WOULD I BE POSTING IF I KNEW HOW TO FIX IT? That way someone reading your post would have some idea on how to advise you.

Hi again,
Computer etiquette requires that you don't use all capital letters as it is considered to be yelling at the other person.
I asked you several questions and got only a few answers, please answer all the questions in order for someone to assist you.
Very often when a suggested fix is offered to a poster, the poster replies that I have already tried that. Therefore it is good to know what has been attempted.Hence "What have you done to try and fix it".
Now if you would like to post back and supply the following information, someone may assist you.
1. Details of your machine, speed, RAM, etc...
2. More details about the problem you are having, when it happens, sometimes, every time, etc

The more information you supply the better chance of someone here knowing what could be wrong and then offering you a solution.

Please advise how to get Machine Speed, Ram.

I believe this occurs more when I do a e mail with an attachment. I think thats the case although i am not totally sure. Some of us are not as schooled as others we look to others for good professional input without putdowns to posters. I appreciate your patience and hopefully we can attempt to resolve

Hi again,
This will be the last time I will answer you, someone else may assist you but I will not again.

“Please advise how to get Machine Speed, Ram”

Go to this site:-
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
download and run the program then post the information about your machine on your nexr post.
Also please complete this sentence and post it as well, When I am ...(trying to send a message)?..... in outlook (express)? and I do..(press send)?... I get this message " MESSAGE CHARACTER SET CONFLICT.." please help me fix this problem.

“I believe this occurs more when I do a e mail with an attachment. I think thats the case although i am not totally sure.

Neither you nor I will ever get an award for our writing but if you are able to put together a paragraph as above you are certainly capable of asking for assistance with a request that is better than

“MESSAGE CHARACTER SET CONFLICT.. What do I need to do to get away from this in outlook?”.

Could be considered as a put down if you like but it was designed to get your attention to the fact that you told us nothing that would allow any one to help you. If you took offence to it, I am sorry, but I am sure that you now understand that the information you supplied and the question you asked were totally incomplete.

“we look to others for good professional input”

True, some here are also professional (receive payment for their efforts) computer repair personnel but while here on Daniweb, we are all volunteers, and as such we are not professionals and a lot, like me have never charged for their services. We are to assist people in repairing their computers, free of charge. But to do that we need to know what is wrong, we can not be there and open your machine and observe the errors, we need the poster to give us as much information as possible.

I hope you post back with the information requested and that someone here will assist you.

Good luck..

I am so sorry about the mis communication...I appreciate teh analysis site...listed below is the result...I dont know if you will help me further? Please
