Does anyone know how to stop this annoying feature with Vista? Every time I plug my headphones into the computer, a little message pops up telling me that I did so. It is getting annoying.

My other question is about G-mail through Google. I recently opened an account, and arranged to have my mail and contacts ported from Yahoo. I was getting sick of the pages hanging forever. Anyway, my stuff all ported, but new messages aren't appearing, so I am still having to check my yahoo inbox and put up with the stupid spinning blue circle. I checked the help pages, but it seems that my new mail should be getting forwarded to g-mail, and isn't. Anyone know why it isn't, and what I should do?

Thanks

I have no idea what to do for your first problem, I hav evista and have never seen that before. For your second problem, did you check your spam folder on gmail? I have my university email account set to forward to gmail, but gmail was classifying it as spam until I told it not too

Well, after fiddling with it a while, I canceled the whole account. Guess I'm stuck with Yahoo for now. G-mail wasn't forwarding my new mail, even though I kept telling it to. Thanks for the suggestions, though!

Yahoo is the cockroach of software; you uninstall it, delete files, folders, and registry entries, and you still get ring around the collar...;)

You might be able to do some research by doing a search on something like "remove Yahoo mail" (include the ""s, they tell Google to search for the words right next to each other)
