So there goes all my disks Microsoft. Thanks bunch. May in Windows 2000?
No IS Windows 2000. Be Honest might start a whole new escapade Microsoft.

Also the hardware wizard leaves a lot to be desired. You forgot to include
no more support for ISA cards in the Documentation. No support for
Hardrives used in Windows 2000. What next you got up your sleeves? It's

I am finding that the password is NOT being saved. Hence when I open OEX
the connection to the email account is being denied and I am getting errors.
When I bring up the Properties of the account I find the option to Save the
password is enabled but it does not work. I am queried to enter a passowrd
for the email account upon its connect failure. I do that and all is well
until I open OEX again at some later time. When that happens the option to
Save password there is greyed out not available and there is no passord
***** there. It is empty.
