I previously learned how to move my outlook [2003] pst to a new location and make a permission to allow a limited user on the machine to access the calendar [they would obviously also be able to access my email etc].
I would like to refine this process a little.
Currently my email/caledar...

We've all done it I'm sure:
you get a machine, you spend weeks/months./years tweaking the heck out of it and banishing annoying niggles.
You get a new one and forget how you did most things!
Anyway:

Running XP Pro Sp2. Current machine has Zone Alarm Pro 5.5 as the firewall and Nod32 2.7 as the antivir with adaware run to check for the other baddies.
New build will also run Xp Pro. Should I stick with the same strategy [which seems to work] or update to either:

Changed my XBMC to NTSC 720p output and originally everything was excellent.
Display was set to 720p 16:9 not auto.
Made a throw-away remark to a friend that my hdd games still loaded at 480i.
Now this morning I find that no matter what I do a game keeps loading at 720p. The result is that...
I read in PC Pro that Intel will release 45nm CPUs on 18th Nov. Not sure if this meant retail chips or to Industry?
Can anyone clarify and if retail presumably it will drive down prices of current cpus?
I was planning to build around an E6750 but if it will drop in price a couple of weeks...
Want a quiet machine so in an Antec Sonata 3 I would like to use a Scythe Inifinity with the 120mm fan as the HSF.
Board is DS4 from Gigabyte.
The GFx will be a passively cooled 2600XT.
Will they all fit on the board? Tight squeeze/bend some caps or no problems?
HI
I want to build a quiet pc within an Antec Sonata 3.
Plan to use a Scythe Infinity as a HS and most likely a Gigabyte PAssive-cooled GFX [8600GT or the 2600XT].
1) which mobo out of Gigabyte DS4 or DQ6 and Asus P35 Deluxe is least cramped [around cpu socket/ram modules etc] to fit these...
Want to get either a 8600GT or a 2600XT.
I am not really a gamer. Want to buy a passive card for a quiet machine going into an Antec Sonata 3.
I accept some DX9 cards are faster in games but I want some DX10 ability and HDCP.
I read the 2600XT supports Shader 4 [don't know if the 8600GT does...

Plan to build a system around an E6750. I want a quiet machine so was looking at either the Zalman CNPS9700 or the Scythe Ninja [with a 120mm fan].
How would these perform and could I overclock with them?
They are to go into a machine with a passively cooled 8600GT as well.
That brings my...
I am planning on building a new C2D system by the end of this month. As I am by no means an avid gamer I want something to take me nicely into Vista and tide me over until the midrange DX10 market matures.

System Build is pencilled in for end-Augo so wondered if anyone knew when Asus were planning to release the X38 mobo and what the model name will be?
I think the GB one is DQ6 to replace the P35 version?
HI
I plan to build a new machine and so have started doing my homework.
Looking at the mobos I decided it was a P35 and a stright fight between the Asus and Gigabyte [the helpful sticky was very useful!]
Anyway from what I can see:

Hi
Decided it was time for a change of machine although in truth my AThlon XP 3200+ with 1gb RAM is doing just fine!

I figure miniDV format is still where the best price/feature set is at [can't justify the cost for a HD camcorder - yet!].

From the outset let it be said that I am entirely happy with the photo quality of my A95 but have found that I have had occasion to need my sister's Fuji Finepix because it is very slimline and thus more discreet and portable eg for conferences etc[slip in pocketable].

At the moment I have imported my Outlook Calender into my wife's account so that she has access to it and we can track appointments etc.

Annoying to learn just how much one has forgotten until the knowldge is needed!

I had forgotten my password so got one sent out.
I then went into my account to change it to a memorable one.
The "new password" fields were blank but when I fill it in and press update I just go back to the same page and the password remainsd the one sent out to me.
How can I rectify this?
Looking at a used system and saw one with good spec running an Athlon X2 Dual Core 64bit 4200.

and Foxconn/MSI etc
Which would you...

As per thread title, I am stressed about setting opening bids for some of the [good] prizes that we got for an charity auction. As a principle, do I start low [relative to the "real" price] and ramp up quickly or do i start below but close to the retail values?
