Dear All,

Re. Disable Clearype in Outlook, Norton and IE7

I have read with great interest the commercial advantages the team at Microsoft thought they had in mind in deciding to default systems downloading IE7 with cleartype. [e.g. Help present a palpably new product].

But I am trying to disable it.
I have successfully disabled it on IE7.

However, to my non-surprise cleartype is still very much alive on Outlook, Norton Antivirus and other places I do not know. How do you disable Cleartype in Outlook Express ?and in Norton Antivirus?, and anywhere else?

I'd prefer to disable cleartype precisely so that my work, emails and so on did not look so watercolour like, professional and smooth. One of the advantages of non-cleartype for me is that you can actually process rough edged text, and whats more feel able to "pick up" and dissect the text.

Please can you assist me.

With best wishes,

Fields

I used the XP "Disk Management" utility to initialize and use the USB 300 GB drive and it works well. I have transferred data files from 3 old 3-1/2" IDE drives to it using an IDE to USB cable. When using the same cable for the 2-1/2" laptop IDE drive it does get listed on XP "Disk Management," but it can not be "examined." It also does not show up on XP "My Computer," so I am unable to trasfer any files.
I am now at a loss as to how to retreive the data on the corrupted drive before reinstalling the OS.
[have tried all the "Data Recovery" options with no luck.]
[and the geek squad wants $170 to do it for me... not to that point yet... ]
[Must it now be done using DOS? Is it that involved?]
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the laptop dirve data transferred to the mass storage device???
My technical know how is middle ground... but i can follow instructions and learn new skills...;o]

When you are shopping for LCD, and they advertise 17" monitor, does it always mean the same thing? Is it always diagonally, or what?

I have Adobe Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro 8. I only use them to grayscale color images and to resize and I can make tranparencies as well. I need someone to tell me step by step or can direct me to a website that can tell me step by step. These are the only replies that will be of use to me. Thank you for your help in this matter.
