Not that I know of, other than changing your email address. It is still possible that it is your machine. Are you running a firewall that can check outgoing connections? If so, you might try locking everything down and re-allowing stuff you know is ok. I'm sure there are many others on this

I've got a stick of Hynix, DDR2 667 and also Nanya DDR2 667. Both are 1 gig, and the timings are exactly the same. Is it safe to put it into a laptop and expect proper functioning dual channels and normal operation? Is it a must to have matched pairs? -- Best Regards, Zulfiqar Naushad

Windows Live is a group name for a large collection of programs, see http://get.live.com. Perhaps you meant Windows Live Hotmail or Windows Live Mail. I can help you with the latter, but someone else will have to jump in for Hotmail since I'm not familiar with it. Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP

I think a lot of times on Compaq's that small hidden partition has something to do with either the BIOS or diagnostics. I'd leave it if I were you. Disk is cheap. Winterlight wrote: I am helping a friend with a circa 2002 Compaq EVO. It is a corporate machine he got from work. It has a
