Re: [CGUYS] Unusual sound on speakers

Seriously now... I once had a sound card with (what I think was) a bad capacitor... it would randomly discharge making a horrible noise like you mentioned... much louder than the music/program that was playing. It would happen once or twice a day, with no real pattern. Upgrading the sound card

Vista "security" is rumored to not allow any writes at all to the "Program Files" folder. One solution might be to reinstall Eudora to some other folder, even d:\EUDORA\, for which you have write privileges. I think Vista would consider Eudora to be a "rogue" program. My Eudora V6 puts embedd

Something that is completely locked down is of course "secure" but of reduced/little usability. I have my Eudora, with all data and setting files in the Eudora directory, on a portable hard drive that I can plug into any machine (in principle) and run my full mail client with all of its feature
