first, i tryed sending a pm lately and it stays in outbox, but nvr sends. is there a reason for that?

also got a question about windows xp home, is there anyway to disable the login screens, so when i turn comp on it automatically goes to desktop w/o any signing in?

thanks again :biggrin:

it nvr use to do it until i did windows update i think, it seems im better off nvr doing anything unless theres a problem :huh:

also i have horrible daoc problem where if i port in rvr or toa or release i will freeze up and go ld, so i have to reboot comp manually, it happesn 50% of time /cry

If you download TweakUI, it has an option to set an automatic logon.

As far as PM's sitting in the outbox... They sit in the outbox until the next time the person you sent it to checks their PM's. Once they check their private messages, it'll clear out of your outbox (regardless if they read it or not)

When you install windows, if there's only 1 user account setup/activated with a blank password, it will automatically log you in.
