    Is there an equivalent Hotmail connector for Mozilla Thunderbird?

    Maybe this? http://webmail.mozdev.org/index.html I haven't tried it, but the site says it works with Hotmail.

    Flash 10.1B2 works in IE8.0.6 but not in FF3.6

    I did a (very, very) quick search in the official Firefox bug database. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/). I did not see anyone else reporting something like that. Perhaps you should file a bug report.

    forum index

    I don't know....there are a lot of versions of Windows, that would be a lot of new forum sections. Then the linux people will start asking for a section for each distro. That could get out of hand fast.

    installing google chromIUM themes

    The "portable" Chromium is not official -- it's not made by Google. I've never used it, but perhaps themes do not work on it. I would suggest that you uninstall the portable version of Chrome and get the official version from http://www.google.com/chrome Then you can download themes by...

    Another Chrome problem

    I've never seen this problem. For me, the Chrome window remembers its last position on screen. How often does this happen for you? All this time, or just occasionally?

    "Royal Discounter OEM Software Source" -- anyone familiar with these folks?

    From their terms page (http://www.greatest-software.net/info/terms/): No legit software sellers that I have ever seen have anything like that as part of their terms.

    Sound distortion when CPU is busy

    Ya, but here's the deal: it didn't do this last week *no matter how busy the CPU was*. Something changed, and I don't know what!

    Sound distortion when CPU is busy

    BTW, I added another hard drive to the system and did a fresh Windows install on the new drive. In the fresh Windows installation the sound works perfectly.

    Is there any way I can save my dying HDD?

    If I were you, I would first save the data somewhere else then format the drive and try using it again. I had something similar happen to me and after I formatted the drive it worked perfectly (in fact, I'm still using it now :)) I would disconnect it, just in case. If it has gone bad, you...
