Ho boy. Harold, you HAVE to send ALL email in plain text since like we've been saying, the list only supports plain text.
I posted the email (you didn't see my name above it?) Thanks for the info. I didn't have to pass that along since what Wally posted the previous day worked. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > From: "Support-OrpheusComputing.com" (Clint) > Hi all, can anyone answer this please?

Start -- Run - type in: regedit (I'm not sure who originally posted this problem but if you are new to this, make sure you first backup that registry, just in case) 2. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion 3. Click on Current Version folder, not the plus ("+") sign 4. Scroll down to name in the Registered Owner key. 5. Right-click and select Modify to edit the name. 6. Repeat these steps for the other values, if desired, and close the Registry. 7. Close Registry Regarding the constant need to type in a ID and password, I've had that problem (especially after a freeze now and then), and what is usually suggested is to type in a user name without adding a user name. Sometimes it has to be done a few times until something clicks. I don't know why but eventually that prompt stops and that Username/Password window no longer appears ...
