any one know what is the purpose of the up date silverlight i installed it but i couldnt find it and after searching i found it in my documents i tried to access it but i couldnt find a way to open it it was sending me round in circles the help files dont HELP i saw a post from pete_c who said he installed and forgot it was there so obviously it isnt important other wise microsoft would be on our tails any ideas marty

hi team well ive found how to get rid of those address sure it has taken some time i eventually found it in tools -options- look for the signiture tab open it the address or sigs are in the sig window high light them then remove them the answer isnt even in the help files but i found it by accident i went there to turn off the spell check and found those sigs that was turning up in the email so i clicked them and the remove sign appeared so i pressed it and they were gone i actually havent tested the email box yet as i wanted to post the fix so i may be back thanks all marty

hi JD YES IME LIVING PROOF OF THAT ive used xppro for several years and to go to vista was a dam fool move the compt i use to post was bought for me by a friend whos compt i fix which is often so i thought ide try vista that was my first mistake i should have come to the board first as people like your self and others post on the pitfalls of any sys and it wasent until i up graded to vista i saw many posts giving it the thumbs down forgods sake even win 98 is far superior to this backward step however ime stuck with it now so i need to make the most of it was bill gates short of week end al

thanks for all who tried to help yes TT i did that and all seems ok now if it had been xppro i would have fixed it promptly but if you notice ive posted for vista fixs 2-3 times ime not that impressed with it but my family bought it for my birthday so to acknowledge them i installed it or to be precise i up graded from xp this sys should drive users to linux [but they are mass producing so many versions it is hard to keep up with them] but thanks for you input marty

hi team sorry for getting carried in my first post i know this site and no onw ould post with out reason as it happened i had exported the registry which i normally do having just installed vista i was completly lost and that was the reason to install ccleaner to keep my sys clean i have had trouble with it in the past when i saw the post recomending ccleaner i was looking for a reg program normally i have used regcleaner but vista wont except it it keeps showing it as an error again sorry posting an angry response but this vista needs a lot of attention marty

recently i installed Ccleaner on the recomendation of some ome pushing the Ccleaner barrow and now i have a registry entry deleted by C cleaner which is need to load the programs now my Q how do i get that registry entry back and take that bloody program off the bloody site i know it has given trouble to the not so aware in the past but that needs to be stressed when recomending the program ive tried the scannow now option also the check disk but the entrys are stacking up and giving lots of trouble my sys is vista home premium marty
