Goback

imtim83
I am wondering if Goback by Adaptec is a good program to get? Like if i use it on win98 or windows me. I am wondering because i was reading that it can time travel to a time back when your system was working fine and even recovery from a formated HD which i think its pretty neat.

Multiple Desktops

Anonymous
Ya know how Linux has that nice feature that allows you to switch between several desktops? Is there any 3rd party software out there that gives you that feature? Might MSOFT include this useful feature in Whistler? I know they have included that desktop icon on the quicklaunch bar.

Radeon VIVO - DVD to TV out

BDW_OX
I am using a ATI Radeon 64mb card with VIVO and when I go to watch a dvd on my TV with the composite out (yellow wire) I get the macrovision signal p***ed thought the card and on to my TV. This is no fun, and I would really not like to have to buy a stand alone decoder card.

Microsoft Outlook

PsychoSword
I've been noticing a strange behavior from Outlook since I installed Windows 2000. I have the option enabled to send messages immediately when connected to the internet, yet they dont go through until I manual go into Outlook and click the send/recieve button.
