fwiw Speaking of backups... recently playing around... Have 8gb ram so I used a freeware, RamDisk, a very small program, to make a RamDrive = 770mb for RediBoost & balance for Browser cache & windows low disk space avoidance. Anyhow while searching web for how people use ram disks trying to figure out what I was doing wrong .. initially my startup & shutdown times went up ... I came across a regedit setting on increasing hard disk cache.. for win 7 / vista anyhow.. maybe same for xp. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management LargeSystemCache default 0, changed to 1 = supposed to be hard drive cache. ......... after changes both graphics ratings went up .1 from 6.2 to 6.3 in Windows Experience Index Daily backup & image went from 17 minutes to 11 consistently . Just confirmed once now, it was the registry change that sped up the backups. Thats quite a time savings here ... I usually stop and twiddle my thumbs when backup runs. Thought some here may be interested in trying that registry tweak.

OK, I just spoke with my statefarm agent. Heres the skinny... If I were to add my son to the policy, he would be considered an "occasional driver" because there are less cars than drivers in my household. If I were to purchase a 3rd vehicle, he would have to be a primary driver for one of those vehicles and would cost me more. So, the best deal for me is adding him as an occasional driver. His rate would be based on the least expensive vehicle. Also, theres a good student discount that would apply for grades B or better. A savings of $240/year. BTW, he's currently an "A" student. They quoted me $400/6mos. $520/6mos w/o good grades. I have to admit its not as bad as I thought it would be.

I am using PSP 9... latest one I have. I installed ThunderBird mail a couple days ago.. the next time I went in PSP the auto save stopped working & I get a popup that says "unable to open file" I don't know if it is ThunderBird or not but either way I don't have the save feature.. any ideas how to get it back & yes the save button is checked.. Please help. TIA, Dar

Sorry I had to leave for a few minutes I can better show U the problem. Until today the red would have filled the whole NEW layer I added on.. I added a new layer.. sent it to the bottom & it would have covered the bottom layer..Now U can see what it is doing. I used red so it was easier to see. I don't know why. I sure would like to get it so it would do the same as before again but how? I have also added one done in PSP8 which is how it should do in 9 but isn't. I put purple so it would be easier to see again. Dar
