Thanks for that link, Brett. I, too, am using a new ISP (Pac Bell dsl) to log onto an old mail server that used to provide ISP service but now...
I'm hoping someone might be able to help with an annoying problem I have when sending emails. When I first start up OE 6 in the morning (I have...
Never mind! I noticed that the SP1 installation also caused some other problems as well, including substituting the normal screen font used in...
I just downloaded and installed the SPI service pack update, and now every time I reboot, I get the "install new hardware" wizard referencing my...
Not sure what you mean by the "iomega." I have an HP 8 GB internal travan tape drive, and all I would have needed was to install the XP drivers.
i Have the same HP 5 GB tape, Tom. First of all, you can do a firmware upgrade on it to boost it to 8 GB at the HP site. And then from them you...

Thanks, Newt. I have a Netgear HPNA router and DSL. This is probably just academic, but in case something goes ka-boom, I would like to know how...
bad post. tried to delete but couldn't. sorry.

I've got 7 Windows XP Hotfix (SP1) entries in the add/remove section of Control Panel, but 9 of those $NtUninstall folders in my windows...
