Winamp in Windows 7

Post by: Phil on November 5th, 2009 | File Under aiocs

This is just a tip for anyone struggling to get Winamp working under Windows 7 - try running it in Vista Compatibility Mode SP1. I’m only running the release candidate of W7, so it may be different with the final retail version, but if you’ve tried other ways and still can’t get it working, give it a shot.

Outlook 2003 not adding signatures properly

Post by: Phil on November 4th, 2009 | File Under aiocs

Just a quick note in case anyone else has been annoyed when trying to use Outlook signatures when they use multiple email accounts. The symptom is that you add signatures to some of your accounts, but when you create new mail, and change to that account the signature does not get added.



I still don’t know WHY it happens, but I have found a way round it. Outlook seems to decide whether or not to bother with signatures based on the rules for the messages for the DEFAULT account. My default account was set to not use signatures, so when hitting new message, signatures didn’t appear even when I changed to an account which I had configured to have a signature.



The solution was simply to create a blank signature for the default account for new messages, that way Outlook processes the signatures, even when switching between mail accounts.
