    IDE Drive Jumper Setting

    - Have finished my new Win 7/64-bit build now and I've got this new old stock Deskstar IDE drive that I want to use for storage. I just want it to show up as an independent device with a drive letter but wanted to verify which jumper setting and ribbon cable connectors to use. Should it be a...

    Re: MS Outlook Compacting Prompt

    - Looking like it may have been my SP3 update causing this. It seems that you have to tell the Windows Search function included in one of the MS updates to stop indexing Outlook.

    Re: MS Outlook Compacting Prompt

    Thanks. I currently have the Thunderbird compacting automatically but what does that have to do with Outlook if I'm not using it for my mail? What if I click OK on the Outlook prompt to compact will that at least get rid of it for awhile or will that cause issues in my Thunderbird profile...

    Toyota Tacomas recalled for Front Drive Shaft

    Whether this is accurate or not I remember hearing somewhere awhile ago that apparently Toyota tended to constantly worry about things and if it had nothing in general to worry about, it would worry about that.
