Anyone know what this application does? When a user logs
off XP or computer is shut down a dialogue box appears
saying "DEVLDR is shutting down..." often followed by
a "DEVLDR is not responding... END NOW" message

Any clues?
 
Hi

Have you got the latest software for your Sound Blaster card?

Thanks Will,

Have located article and will update driver tonight.

I finally got to the problem of my unread mail issue....
although I have not solved it. The unread mail count hangs
if you set up a second e mail account under the same
identity in OE6. This second account does not create a new
sub key under unread mail but just hangs the counter for
the original e mail account. The repair tool in TweakUI
deletes the sub folders and when a new single e mail
account is created the counter works again.

Thanks again for your help

Simon

On another issue regarding unread mail notification on
Welcome screen. This works fine with one e mail account
for any user BUT if you add a second e mail account to the
same Outlook Express identity then the counter hangs and
will only restart after all mail accounts are deleted and
registry is repaired (TWEAK UI) or just deleting the sub
key to unread mail and then creating a new single e mail
account.

Short of setting up additional e mail accounts in a new
identity can you suggest any other work around?
 
Hi,

I have never seen this behavior so can't offer any suggestions other than:

Use TweakUI/Logon/Unread Mail and Repair/Unread Mail Count
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Disable Unread Mail on the Welcome Screen (Line 100)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

To remove an account or to change the count manually Go to:
Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Your
E-Mail Address]. In the right pane modify: Message Count, Change it to 0.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail. In
the right pane modify: MessageExpiryDays Change it to 0.
