PinkPanther

Outlook displays a login screen everytime you try to check email, asking for the user name and password for the email account. Then it INSTANTANEOUSLY fails to validate and keeps asking. Microsoft has a knowledge base article describing this problem.

Where does Media Player 8 keep its files?

Bursar

Does anyone know where Media Player keeps the database that holds CD track names? And is it openable by Access or some other similar program? Failing that, how about WinAmp?

Artic Silver 3: general questions ?

Ant -|- One

I installed last week my brand new Volcano 7 with Artic Silver 3. I was told by my reseller that I should, once a month, wipe AS3 out and put a fresh layer of it on the cpu core because AS3 dries and temps might go up again.
