Problems

I had problems finding the pst file for outlook 2003. I was getting worried that I had lost all their contact, calendar, and past email information. Fortunately I had backed up on a regular bases their complete set of "documents and settings" folder. I was able to restore the information by replacing the new "documents and settings" with their backup copy. To do that I had to log in in as administrator in safe mode otherwise some of the files couldn't be replaced.

The "Masscool 8W553 CPU fan" seems to make a lot of noise compaired to the past Masscool 8W553 fan I installed
