    Hi 'help' ,
    I don' t know if you noticed but some people have been asking for more information when you post a question. The information they want is usually:
    a) What Operating System you use (ie: Windows 95/98/2000/XP.
    b) Your processor (ie: Intel/AMD; 1.8/3.2)
    c) Your RAM (ie: 128/256/512/1024)
    d) Your videocard (ie: nVidiaTi4200/ATI Radeon9800)
    e) Your soundcard (ie: SoundBlaster Live/Audigy
    f) your HArd Drive size/speed (ie: Maxtor 40Gig X7200RPM)

    Many of us have our details in our signature (the stuff you see below the '--') -so you can look there to see what information is important -OR: you can read this thread: http://66.98.158.200/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4977
    -the people here really can help with lots of problems but they can only be effective if you give them all the important info.
    If you are unsure as to your PC information might I suggest http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=181 -it'll give you more info than you'll likely ever need while posting here. The other option is to right-click on your 'My Computer' icon, and select 'Properties', and noting what it says under 'System:' and 'Computer:'
    I think you'll find way more responses (and more helpful responses) if you post your PC details/information each time.
    I hope someone can help you with your Account Settings!
