OutLook Express Error No 0x800C0131

I was using outlook express for more than 10 years. Currently I encountered a problem showing the error number 0x800C0131 when I try to send email using my SMTP.
U
nknown error has occurred. Protocol: SMTP Port: 0 Secure: No [SSL] Error: 0x800c0131

I searched and found that the usual cause of this error is a missing or damaged folders.dbx file. Either that or it is using a read only attribute. To fix this problem I did the following steps.

  • Click Start
  • then Find
  • then click Files or Folders.
  • In the Named box, type folders.dbx.
  • In the Look In box, click your main hard disk (this is usually drive C), and then click Find Now.
  • Right-click the Folders.dbx file, and then click Rename.
  • Type folders.old, and click OK.
  • Start Outlook Express again. This creates a new Folders.dbx file automatically.

This one solved my problem. Mainly this one occurs in the Windows 98 OS.

Adding New Video Content in Adsense

As a test basis adsense is testing Adsense Video distribution and sponsorship through a small group of publishers. Now Warner Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment is joining together to provide more video content for providers.
Christian Oestlien - Product Manager of Adsense posted today in Adsense blog the below message
"Over the next few weeks we'll be testing AdSense video distribution and sponsorship with a small group of publishers. You may remember us doing a similar trial last year with MTV Networks, where we distributed ad-supported MTV video content to publishers who displayed the content on their sites. This time, we'll be working with a larger set of content providers, grouping together video content from providers such as Warner Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment together with quality ads and offering them as playlists which publishers can select from and display on their AdSense sites. Participating publishers range from small to large, and cut across many different types of content."
So now adsense publishers can expect more video ads in their websites.

Website exclusion in Adwords is unlimited

If you are a adwords user then you know about the site exclusion option you have in your campaign. Previously there is some limit in site exclusion. From January onwards Adwords have removed this limit and now you can exclude unlimited websites in that tool.
Site exclusion is now unlimited
As we've mentioned in the past, the Site Exclusion tool provides you with more control for your campaigns that are targeting the Google Content Network by allowing you to exclude your ads from showing up on particular sites or sections of sites (such as the sports section of an online newspaper).
So now onwards you can enjoy excluding the sites where you dont want to display your ads. For more information you can visit Adwords Blog.
