Windows disk problem. Can I fix this from PuppEee? SOLVED.

After re-installing Windows from scratch and then getting the same problem again I had a flash of inspiration and uninstalled Flashfire. The next time I ran Chkdisk, it tidied up a whole lot of mess and since then the XP install has been stable.

Regards,

Hi You have to go into that options window and tell Skype where the sound file you want it to use for each type of notification (incoming call, etc.,) is located. Thanks. I found it under "Notifications". I had to first check "Play sound file", then click the filename and navigat...
