| 266098 | 2004-08-28 13:48:00 | Hi, I know another post has helped you, but if you use Ad-Aware there are 2 add-ons you can download to control Messenger . Ad-Aware add-on that turns off Win . Messenger Service . Lets you enable it again as well . Ad-Aware add-on which lets you prevent Windows Messenger from starting when Outlook Express launches . Can switch between disabling and enabling Windows Messenger's auto-launch status when opening Outlook Express . Says it enables faster load times when opening OE . Both work on XP . regards, Marg . |

Simular to what intell are proposing with m/s for their new 64bit chip board o/s combos . Targeting O . E . M . machines . |

| 266102 | 2004-08-29 03:37:00 | I have 2 x 80GB hard drives and use Casper to clone the boot drive to the second drive once a week. It takes about an hour each Sun morning. I can alter the boot secquence in BIOS and boot from either hard drive. I can copy either hard drive to the other again using Casper. This has saved my bacon on so many occasions over the years as any new virus and I experienced one a few months ago that stopped the computer from booting, can be got around by changing the boot drive and any problems with installs like SP2 will only effect one drive at a time. I have been considering using a caddy for the second drive so that I can remove it from the computer altogether, but I see that the new mobos allow you to boot from an external USB2 drive, so I willwait for my next upgrade and use the second drive in an external USB2 caddy. | Augustus (4490) | ||

Do you use /have 40 or 80 wire cabels? I found 80 wire cabels to have a very good time improvement in this type of opp . Thank you for reminding me, I must read my caspar docs and see if it will solve my linux problem . |
