Recently I have been getting more and more emails from users who claim the emails I send them with images in them are empty. It appears that Outlook and SP2 filters out .gif and .jpg from .zip files? I don't use Outlook, so I wouldn't know. But that would be the only problem I could point out.

Get yourself a good Spyware removal program such as SpySweeper. (Ad-Aware and SpyBot SD are decent, but they tend to miss many things, unlike SpySweeper)Comment

I've heard of a few laptops becoming significantly slower, but it was very rare.(I think updating the proc. driver fixed it, but I can't remember.)

Uhh. I have Windows XP Home on my system and just ordered a few XP2 discs (thanks to the other thread. ), and I just do web browsing, MS Money finances, word documents, graphics editing, FTP usage, and that is about it. Is there any possibility of this interacting with the programs - making them unusable?Comment

To see the images within the email all you have to do it right click on one and select download images.Comment
