Does anyone know of a utility that runs under Windows XP Pro and will read and display the various timings of my installed memory? "Veni, vidi, vino." "(I came, I saw, I drank wine.")

I am using Windows XP Pro with Outlook Express 6.0 as an email client. I am about to make some equipment changes and reinstall the OS. Which files do I need to backup so that I do not lose my messages and address book? When I tried to "export" the files, it told me that it could not be done...

I am going to do a fresh re-install of Win XP. Is it possible to use the "File and Settings Wizard" to "export" my settings to another drive and then "import" them back into my new installation? "Veni, vidi, vino." "(I came, I saw, I drank wine.")

Thanks for the reply. I don't think that a game gets it's resolutions from Windows. The video card determines what settings are available, but games must support a particular resolution for it to be used. I point to Diablo II which only offers 600 x 400 and 800 x 600. What I've learned from...

Does anybody know of any games that support a 16:9 aspect ratio. With ATI now offering a solution to output component video I am investigating hooking up to my home theater projector. TIA! "Veni, vidi, vino." "(I came, I saw, I drank wine.")

Thanks. That's always been my sentiment, but there's gotten to be such a buzz at online hardware/gaming fansites when a new 4-in-1 (or BIOS) is released/leaked that I thought I was missing something. "Veni, vidi, vino." "(I came, I saw, I drank wine.")

I am using a Shuttle AK31 v3.1 and Windows XP. What is the recommendation on immediately - or relatively soon - updating the BIOS and 4-in-1's as they each become available? Shuttle tells me to always update to the latest BIOS, but is silent on the 4-in-1 issue. Is their advice correct, and...

Last week I installed Win XP for a friend and in that one short week he has managed to hose his fonts by trying to drag some fonts in and some out. Now wingdings have run amuck. Radio buttons, pulldown menu 'right arrows' (indicating an expanding entry) and few others I do not remember all all...

. . . which was one of the modems I had the problem with (along with the USBs) . . "Veni, vidi, vino." "(I came, I saw, I drank wine.")

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought the Supra Max PCI (Conexant HCF) *was* a hardware modem . . . "Veni, vidi, vino." "(I came, I saw, I drank wine.")

This has absolutely been driving me nuts. I built a computer for a friend with a Via KT266a chipsetted mobo and installed Windows XP. Everything went smooth until the modem which at that time was some funky thing that wasn't XP compatible. Enter the SupraExpress 56k USB. XP knows it's there and...
