Re: [H] Saving YouTube Videos
Check again, all youtube videos are stored as .flv in your browser cache. In the case of IE, it's in Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ The .flv will be named some nonsense like 262ihu2iyug235uh2hi235.flv - a good test for you would be to clear your cache and then go to youtube to make it easy to spot.

Re: [H] Thunderbird crawls.
I have never seen slowness like you have. In the latest versions of TB there is an option to have it auto compact folders and -not- prompt you to do it (older versions prompted you all the time and it was a pain.) I have had great luck using TB as my primary email client. Sam Franc wrote: No plugins running. I campacted the folders and that helped I have not been doing that as It seems to put all the downloads in my Inbox along with the correct folders they are filtered to. It just did that again when I compacted. Is that a built in fault? Sam Ben Ruset wrote: Do you have any plugins running? Have you compacted all of your folders?

Re: [H] Compaq hidden partition
Every single Dell system I have worked on from the Win2k days on up (NT4 based machines shipped with a Microsoft branded NT4 OEM CD) have come with a VLK cd. Also, depending on when you bought the machine, it will have SP2 or not. I'm staring at a Dell OEM recovery disc with SP2 right now. j maccraw wrote: The CD's we get with systems, maybe I've not looked to see what OEM crap is chained into the Dell XP CD's I have.

Compaq of course would say "ship it back or buy a new PC". FYI, Dell restore CD's consist of a generic Windows OEM disk, and a second disk for drivers that you load manually, one by one.

Re: [H] Compaq Evo CD Drive
Plextor makea a slim bus powered DVD burner. Newegg is out of stock but has them for $140. Honestly, I think you're probably SOL on the Compaq burner. Fortunately the Plextor replacement should be cheaper than the Compaq replacement. Winterlight wrote: I am working on a Compaq Evo 510 Ultra Slim that uses a laptop plug in CD drive . It isn't working right. It appears normally and when I tried to insert a factory data CD = Logitech drivers, the CD started spinning up, Windows appeared to try and load it but when I went to access the CD Windows reported . There is nothing wrong with the CD, I have tried the CD in other computers and it works fine. And this drive had the same problem with multiple CDs. The first thing I did was to pull it out, open it up and blow off the lens with a blast of air. This helped, now when I put a CD in it knows it has a disk, but every disk is seen as a audio disk with a single track, that of course doesn't play because it isn't a audio disk. Maybe the lens is still dirty, what is the best way to clean it... with a brush and 99% alcohol , or a qtip and alcohol, or what? Normally I would just change the drive, but this in a proprietary drive, I can't get a normal one in there. This thing is set up with six USB2 ports so an external burner would be perfect, but the native one is going to be more convenient for this owner. Any other ideas or tricks to fix it... these things are too expensive to replace. Anybody have one in their junk pile they want to sell? model 217396-630 / Compaq Spare 100044-001 thanks
