XP User Accounts

Is there any way to delete the user accounts in XP to just leave the default administrator.

I have everything set up on that account, but thought i would create a couple for the family, and now i cannot access any of my emails through outlook (which was set up to the default administrator).

Thanks in advance

Recomendation for a new dvd player

The problem so far:

I am in the process of backing up my collection (to protect them from the kids) and my current dvd player LG3350e has just started juddering whilst playing back the last few on ritek G05 (it plays G04`s no problem). They all play fine on my computer, so i am asuming that the player is not up to it.

i am looking for a new dvd player, that will play 8x dvd-r without any problem sub £100.
Can anyone give any recomendations

Thanks

LG dvd3350E problem?

I have just bought some (x8) Ritek G05 inkjet printable Dvd-Rs from SVP
I have burn`t them using Nero on a NEC2510A.
The discs will play ok on my computer using Power dvd, but have a tendancy to jerk and judder when played back on my dvd player.

Is this a problem with my player?, or am i doing something wrong.

Thanks

RE: Ad-aware problem?

I had the same problem yesterday. Ended up uninstalling it and installing Ad-aware SE personal 1.05 instead, from www.download.com

The updates for that worked fine

I have tried to reinstall IE6 but keep getting the message saying that there is a newer version of this program installed, and then setup stops.

Which DVD player?

You have probably had this or similar questions already.

What i would like to know is should i but the LG DVD3350e or get the Hitachi 505?

All i am really interested in at the moment is which player has the best picture and sound, it`s going to be connected to a porline 28" 4:3 TV.

Additional features such as MP3 CD-R/CD-RW/ VCD etc, are not important yet.

Thanks for the info in advance
