I asked for help recently on running Train set builder and no catalogues
showing in the pane on the left hand side.

Thank you to those that offered assistance I have found the cause it is
another user unfriendly aspect from MS Vista.

I had a problem with Paragon drive backup I am the administrator and
the
only one on the computer it would not let me run as I did not have
Administrative Privileges!!

On a MS web site I found a comment that enabled me to run the SW by
actually telling in properties.compatibility to 'run as administrator'.

I then tried that on Train set builder and the catalogues are their.

Why does not Vista default to allow anyone to run until told otherwise
a
stupid system!!!

Whilst can sympathise with your experience, making default allow minimum
privelidges results in a more stable and secure OS. Problem is MS have
been increasing security and its up to apps to give instructions on
installation to allow for all users. MS shouold have built security into
the OS right from the start.
So a well behaved app may require admin for install it shouldnt for
running and you should not run with admin privilidges on a normal
session.

Hey Simon, as you're the resident expert here, can you tell me why my
messages to this NG get stuck in the OE outbox until I hit "send all"? It
only started after a recent XP upgrade which included IE7, never had the
problem before. TIA.

Thats very kind of you to say so, but must be modest and remember in the
kingdom of the blind ....

I did, but you must have missed it, anyway here it is again ..

Yes, sorry about that. I posted the question before but neither it nor any
reply is being displayed in my newsreader. I should have double checked with
Google Groups.

Have you looked at the Tools/option/send menu settings ? Theres a box that
says send immediately.

Yes it's ticked.

Also when I first open Outlook Express, it tells me there's no connection
available - which is rubbish - and asks me if I want to go online. I've
cleared history and deleted temporary files as suggested by MS to no avail.

Every setting in Outlook Express is exactly the same as it was before the
problem began, that is, before XP was updated. This is why I delayed
upgrading to SP2 for as long as possible.

I don't know if this is relevant but there is a "local area connection 2"
showing in my network places which I don't remember being there before and
the PC takes longer to boot-up than it used to. There is no "local area
connection 1" as I don't use a LAN of any kind, never have. If I disable
local area connection 2" I'm not able to connect to my modem.

Everything else works normally, web browsing, downloading, binary
newsreader, although some websites look peculiar since IE7 was installed.
