Anyone still need invites? I signed up and have some now.

I've been using Windows/MSN Messenger for years for video chat. It's too bad not more people have it, but video chat is not a big deal to me. Nothing revolutionary there.

I used MSN messenger for video chat years ago, but found Skype much better, in fact Tex (chelseaboy) has just gone  on Skype.

Thanx Chip, thinking of installing Google Chrome.
 IE remembers the login until I turn the PC off, then when I start up again I have to login again.

Because I'm not as rich as Chelseaman the PC's I use are towers ppl have thrown out. This PC is one of those.
I formatted the hdd using another PC. Installed XP pro using my Windows Advantage CD, I have used this successfully many times, everything installed ok, but when I started using the PC I found that I had to login my main progs every time I started up progs like Convivea, Hotmail, Facebook etc. I installed Firefox and then it remembered all my login details.
I had to uninstall Firefox because it seemed to conflict with EI. I am now stuck with having to log in to everything again.

can any of you whizz kids help me???

Sorry guys been busy, thanx for yer replies. I took the two dvd rom's out put my spare two in, Windows found and installed them, they are working fine. The jumpers on the old two were set properly at master and slave. The IDE was connected properly.
Another strange thing happened when I first tried the new ones, I right cliked on the slave dvd rom and instead of the box appearing I got a box saying 'my computer is not responding' same happened with the other one, then I got another box saying 'your computer is not protected' my antivirus icons had disappeared from my desktop, I had to go in program files to reinstall it.
Before all this I had been trying to install photo editing software both Corel and Adobe from Bit Che and Btjunkie so you can imagine I had a lot of shit on my PC. I have now cleared it all.

I d/l Corel Paintshop pro because I have the genuine purchase key and activation code.It wouldn't accept them. dunno when I bought it but it was a few years ago.
I d/l Adobe CS2. I also had the seriel number (cracked) that wouldn't work either. both these programs worked before with those details or I wouldn't have recorded them in my book.

anyway, as I said I've cleared the lot off, so I'm still looking for photo editing software. My mate John says he will copy an activated photoshop 6 for me on a DVD.

I'm sure I can hear a faint snoring from Ireland...perhaps Chelseaman has fallen asleep AGAIN!!

  wake up Tex.....lol

Does having two identical dvd-rw players in my PC tower conflict??
I can play cd's/dvd's on both, but i cannot write to them. I went into device manager, no problems and it couldn't find better drivers than I got. I unistalled both, rebooted, Widows XP found them, but didn't install them as far as I know.
My tower was given to me full of problems, I formatted, and installed XP pro with my Windows Genuine Advantage Kit, which I have used many times successfully. I could install other cd/dvd writers that I have, but it seems strange that both writers have the same problem.

perhaps Chelseaman might get off his lazy ass, put his glass of JD down and address this problem, but I'm not holding my breath
