I seen this on the news about a website that tracks the immediate movements of a few celebrities. Some cry foul that this website is an intrusion on their privacy. I have no opinion on the website and only find it interesting to some degree. TheHalf

Nice to see Tom Hanks and Ron Howard working together again. I like the trailer and has anyone been out to the movie yet? TheHalf

Yes contrast is much easier on my eyes but you did a nice job CA3LE, kudos. On the font size I only see a difference when I boot into WinXP MCE ( I use the space theme) and I use the classic theme while booted on WinXP Pro. TheHalf

A quick observation, on the community board (page2.googlesyndication) causes a timeout and in the forums board (c5.stationcounter.com) causes a timeout. TheHalf

I seen the message earlier that this forum was being updated, now when I go to testmy.net I see this message near the top of the page. Any solutions much appreciated. TheHalf

There are a few places you can get a nice notebook if you 'Google' it, but just to add to the list, here's another link. http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php/page_id=13/adv=1/sortby=priceA TheHalf

Great link peepnklown, I have bookmarked that link. TheHalf

I read into this a few days ago, different stories from different sources and from what I gather support for XP Home users will be available if you pay ($$$). This from the link below: http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,2180,1907867,00.asp TheHalf

Thanks for the response. Sure would like to hear from more folk on this. TheHalf

I have a question regarding the two. Those that have FiOS obviously have a choice between FiOS and another competitor, so when neither was available in any specific area, which company was the first to make it (FiOS or Extreme) available? See neither one is available here in Bflo.N.Y. and I am curious which company will break ground first. So far my impression is that once Verizon's FiOS becomes available in one area Adelphia is not far behind with Extreme. Be nice if Adelphia's Extreme became available in places before Verizon's FiOS. Thanks TheHalf

That it is . One ugly mug on that pooch. lol just kiddin' TheHalf

If you are refering to using the run command from Windows to reformat a drive partition, better to use the management tool this way. Right click My Computer icon->click on manage->then in the left pane, click on disk management. There you can delete a partition, reformat, set allocation size, but you can't do it on the drive your booted in. There you need to shut down Windows and use the utilities from the XP Installation CD. TheHalf

Delete: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)(0)partition(2)windows-"Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute-optin /fastdetect Then click on file and click on save. TheHalf

I have yet to back-up any DVD's, but I have saved many image projects to a specified folder like 'my image folder', which I created. TheHalf

Using the error-checking tool? Scan disk as it's know from Win98 days. TheHalf

The fastest way. If you have an old Win98 startup disk, just use that floppy to delete the current partition. Insert the XP installation upon reboot and XP will create a new partition and reformat as FAT32 or NTFS. TheHalf

Right click My Computer icon->click on properties->click on advanced->click on settings (Start Up & Recovery)->under system startup, click on edit. Now notepad opens and here you want to delete (Under Operating Systems) XP Home. But to be sure, copy and paste and show here. I'll show you exactly what to delete. Then you would click Save As.
