Error message
An error message keeps popping up in the lower-right corner of the screen
every 5 minutes or so. It only stays a few seconds. Can only read it's something about email before it disappears. No app mentioned. Could be Eudora, Thunderbird or Gmail. I've tried to put the mouse on it but it's too fast for me. If I sit there with the curser ready to go it doesn't show up. sigh Annoying. Any suggestions? I opened each of the three email apps but no messages. TIA -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook.

Ken,
It only stays a few seconds. Long enough to push the Print Screen button ? If so, after it open paint and select (toolbar) "edit" - "paste". Than you have all the time of the world to read it. Regards, Rudy Wieser

No app mentioned. Could be Eudora, Thunderbird or Gmail. I've tried to put the mouse on it but it's too fast for me. If I sit there with the curser ready to go it doesn't show up. sigh Unload your e-mail clients (Eudora, Thunderbird) and leave them unloaded. Then wait for 10-15 minutes (or, at least, twice of whatever is "or so") to see if the popup reappears or not. Did you enable/include a mail scan feature of your anti-virus software? E-mail scanning is superfluous. It won't find anything more than the on-demand (real-time) AV scanner. However, the proxy used by the AV to interrogate your mail traffic can cause problems. Disable the e-mail scanner in your AV software, or just remove/disable the superfluous feature. I haven't trialed all AV software, so some might have a popup regarding something they want to alert about for your e-mail traffic.

Regards, Rudy Wieser I've run a screen recorder on my Test Machine a few times, to catch stuff like this. The machine has enough CPU, I can easily record at 30FPS or 60FPS if I want (MJPEG codec multithreaded). For some cases, recording at 1FPS is sufficient (for "watching the screen" to figure out when a program finished doing something). Paul
