yea could you send me a list of ports to try? and just kind of tell me what to do. you seem to know alot about computers, could you tell me how to keep my computer running fast? i have a dell with 1 gig memory and 2.8ghz. so it is pretty fast i just dont want it to get slow. and you prob know how to do this, i have a wav file of an internet sound i would like to play whenever i get mail, do you know how to set it so when i open msn if i have mail it will play that sound? i have been trying to figure it out for weeks, but i dont know alot about comps.
