The Actrix Member's Area

The Actrix Member's Area provides a convenient way for you to interact with Actrix and manage your account from anywhere a computer exists and you can to get online. Logging in is easy. On the Actrix home page (www.actrix.co.nz) you will find our generic log in box (pictured right). Simply enter in your main account user name and your password, make sure you click the Member's Area radio button, and click the Log in button. Note that you can't log into the Member's Area with just a mailbox user name.

Once inside, there are various functions you can carry out safely ands securely. To the left you will find a "Quick Links" table that will allow you to access various functions such as checking various usages, changing your password, contact information or other account details, topping up your account if you are on our Cyberbyte 1 prepay system, and making a payment by credit card.

Along the top of the Member's Section, there are various drop down menus via which you can access other pages of the Member's Area. Here you are able to change or upgrade your dialup rate, register for other services, or change the way you pay. You can also check your account balance and view your latest invoices.

There you will also find a link to Actrix web mail. Web mail is a handy system for checking your e-mail when you're away from your own computer. You can log in via a friend's computer, or from anywhere in the world as long as you can get online. You can reply to messages or forward them on. In fact you can do pretty much anything you could do with your e-mail program at home. The only thing you can't do, of course, is get access to any e-mail you have already downloaded to your computer at home.

Our web developers have put a lot of work into making this system intuitive and easy to use, but we're always keen for feedback from customers as to how we can make the system easier to use and understand. If you have a problem or an idea you'd like to share, why not send an e-mail to General Enquiries using the online Contact Actrix form at http://www.actrix.co.nz/contactus.php. (A quick link to this form exists on the left-hand side of our home page.)

One of the projects on the Actrix web developers' agenda this year is to expand the Member's Area. You'll notice that our current log in box has various log in options. Besides the Member's Area, you can choose to log into CyberFilter, your User Homepage, or to Web Mail (even straight to a sub-mailbox with this link). Our intention is to move all of these features to within the Member's Area so that you only have to log in once. As soon as you're inside our secure pages, you'll no longer have to go through the log in process to get to further services.

If you're not already a regular user of our Member's Area, why not log in and have a look around? See what's useful to you and what's not; and then let us know! And please do use it to check on or change aspects of your account. It may well save you having to wait (heaven forbid!) in the phone queue to talk to our Support or Accounts departments.

Readers' Forum

If you'd like to ask a question or request some help on any Actrix or Internet-related matter. Simply send me an e-mail with the word "forum" in the subject line. I'll try and answer your question by return e-mail, and will also post the answer here for the benefit of others who may have a similar question or problem. By the same token, if you read something here and think you may have something to suggest, please feel more than free. Please also note that questions and answers may turn up under the Helpful Tips section on the Actrix home page (www.actrix.co.nz).

I'm really grateful to the Actrix Support Team, too, for their input here when some of the questions also have me a little stumped.

Julie writes: Hi Rob, For some reason my Outlook Express has changed its format. I changed nothing; just opened it one day and it was different. The old one used to have "Inbox" "Outbox" "Sent to" and "Deleted items" now it only opens to Inbox and I cannot find where the "Sent Items folder" is, or anything else. I like to check that e-mails have been sent. Can you help me please? Thankyou

Hi Julie, Yes, I think this one is reasonably easy to fix. Somehow your Folder List has turned itself off. In Outlook Express, settings do seem to occasionally change without reason or notice. Other times, a stray mouseclick might change something without us realising it. To get the old format back, click View on the menu bar at the top when you open Outlook Express. Then select Layout. A box will pop up. In this box, under the Basic section, you should be able to put a tick back in the box labelled Folder List. You may want to have a play with some of the other settings while you're there. Just remember what you do so you can change things back again if you don't like the results!

JJ writes: Hi, Can an e-mail address be blocked from being accessed by an outside computer? I want to block e-mail access where an outside computer is used (by an authorised user) to check up on home addressed e-mails. I tried changing the password but it wouldn't dial up after doing that!!

Hi there JJ, The answer to this is, "Not really." Your mailbox is technically a file here at Actrix and the one thing keeping it secure is the user name and password that protects it. Until you download e-mail to your e-mail program's "Inbox," technically anyone who knows the user name and password could access that mail. Please note that once mail has been downloaded to your Inbox, it no longer exists on the mail filer here at Actrix, so it can only be seen by anyone with access to the computer that downloaded it.

The answer to your problem here would be the password. If you change it and only you know it, then the outside computer could no longer connect to the mailbox. ordinarily when you change your password, the change affects both your dialup and your mailbox settings. It would appear to me that you may not have changed both and that's why dialup may not be working. The other factor here is that sometimes a password change can take a couple of hours to come into effect, so your dialup problems may have been due to timing. My suggestion would be to call the help desk and talk over changing your password with them. They'll get all this sorted for you and talk you through any changes that need to be made to your settings. Then your mailbox will be protected from the outside computer.

Gail writes: Can you tell me if it is possible to run more than one anti-virus software on your computer or can only be one in current use? Would there be any advantage in subscribing to more than one anti-virus software if this is the case? Cheers!

Hi Gail, Though I don't profess any great expertise when it comes to anti-virus software, my advice would be that running more than one personal variant of this sort of software would be unnecessary at best, and problematic at worst.

Personal anti-Virus software tends to position itself between your e-mail program and the mail servers you use. By this I mean that when you send an e-mail via Norton's, for example, your e-mail actually goes through the Norton system on your machine where it is scanned before it is released to the Actrix mail server. The reverse occurs for an incoming e-mail. To get two variants to work there would need to be a way to get one anti-virus program to send the e-mail on to the other anti-virus program and then get that one to send it on to the Actrix mail server. There would probably be a way to do this, but I don't know anyone who's tried. Adding just one form of anti-virus software can interrupt the flow of e-mail and lead to problems. This risk would be doubled if another was added.

In my view it would not be necessary anyway. Most anti-virus companies are quick to publish updates. If their software misses a virus, it is most likely due to the user not having updated definitions rather than the anti-virus company being late. I have not heard of any program that is particularly worse than any of the others, and that includes the free ones that just tend to have less features.

You're safest subscribing to server-based protection such as with Actrix's CyberScan service and backing that up with your own personal anti-virus software. If you can only afford one of these options, then I recommend your own personal software. At least that way control remains in your hands entirely.

Mick writes: Hi Team, While preparing my old computer (Win 98SE) recently for transfer to my sister, and uninstalling some unwanted programmes, I checked OE for function and received the following message: 'Outlook Express could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be loaded'. What, if anything, have I done wrong? Can this file be retrieved and loaded? I do have the original Win98SE installation disc if it is a function of that. Kind Regards.

Mike Cooper, from the Actrix help desk, replies:Hi Mick, This problem can be caused by several different faults. It is possible, if you have uninstalled some software, that one of the removed programs may have interwoven itself into Outlook Express and possibly damaged some of the files. There are a number of different methods to attempt to resolve this problem, so I will list a few of the more common below:

Outlook Express and Internet Explorer share many files, so a simple way of fixing problems is often to perform a repair of Internet Explorer. From Control Panel, select Add/Remove Programs. Scroll down to Microsoft Internet Explorer and highlight it. Click on the Add/Remove button. When the IE Tools menu comes up, select Repair. Click OK.

It is also wise to make sure you have the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. The installer for these can be freely downloaded from the internet at the link below:

It can also be achieved by going to www.windowsupdate.com which will update all components of Windows with the latest versions, security patches etc. If you are still having the same difficulty let us know by calling 0800-228749, and we will see if we can come up with more information for you.

A more extensive selection of flood images is featured at this amateur site: http://www.graeme.org.nz/Flood/index.htm.

AZ Lyrics Universe

Museum of Hoax Photographs
www.museumofhoaxes.com/photos/01civilwar.html - Heh heh. Long before PhotoShop was ever invented, hoax photographs have been hoodwinking people and providing great interest for gullible newspapers and readers. This is a gallery of such photos, each with a brief explanation, and many dating from very early last century. Some are very good, and you wonder how some ever fooled anybody. But they did. Click Next to move from image to image.

Wilderness Survival
www.wilderness-survival.net/ - This site Offers information from U.S. Army instruction manuals on all aspects of a wilderness survival situation. It includes diagrams and pictures, and covers a wide range of topics. Sections such as those about dangerous plants and animals may only be relevant to America, but plenty of sections, such as those on the psychology of survival, shelters and firecraft would be relevant to anyone anywhere.

Einstein
www.amnh.org/exhibitions/einstein/ - This site was suggested by Doug Bowker, and it really is fascinating. I have never come across as clear an explanation of Albert Einstein's life and thought. I still don't fully understand it all, but this is as close as I have ever come. The site is very well designed, feeding you information a little at a time with some excellent diagrams and Real Player movies in support of the harder bits. You might even say I found the site relatively enjoyable!

Make a Map of the Places You've Been
http://world66.com/myworld66/visitedCountries - It's easy. Just put a tick in all the countries you've been and then click to generate a world map all coloured in for you. This would be quite interesting if you've been lots of places, but admittedly, quite boring if you don't get around much.

Elvis is Alive!
www.elvis.com.au/presley/interviews/interview_aitcheson.shtml - Priscilla Presley commissioned a report in 1992 to investigate Elvis' so-called death and publish the result: "The Presley Commission is continuing to monitor matters pertaining to Elvis' disappearance in 1977, and is active in maintaining intelligence related to the entertainer's whereabouts, as well as his intentions for future public contact, if desired..." The interview here gets more interesting as you scroll down. Read the evidence yourself. Are the Elvis believers really nutters?

Make Stuff
www.make-stuff.com/ - "Do it yourself! When your friends say, "You know you can buy one of those..." do you say, "Yeah, so?" If you love to make things, if you constantly have a project going in a back room, or cluttering up a kitchen counter, if you start making Christmas presents in June and you watch all those do-it-yourself shows on TV, come on in! We've got all kinds of recipes, formulas, craft projects and ideas that you can make yourself."

Some More Online Games
Here's a couple more online games that are pretty cool.
Remember Frogger? - http://www.2flashgames.com/f/f-437.htm

www.chronicle-future.co.uk/ - The turn of the millennium inspired the UK's Sunday Times to speculate on the next 50 years of news headlines - from a ridiculous prediction of Mick Jagger's death during the Rolling Stones' 13th farewell tour in 2030 to to the cloning of Bill gates and an ape marrying her speech trainer. Technological advances are predicted, such as a language translation chip and a fascinating planet named Eden is discovered. Read about your future today. Use the drop down menu to select individual years, or just check the decade summaries. Interesting stuff!

Exploratorium: Journey to Mars
