I dont remember "exactly" what happened,it happened few months ago, but I do
remember having problems with those 2 areas, I didnt mess with it much because I
thought cm8000 is not compatible with winxp. Besides I uninstalled winxp
anyways.

The only way to find out (for me) is to reinstall winxp, which I am not going to
do anytime soon.

Sorry, couldnt be much help.

ps, just curious, why isnt cm8k not playing in CCCT4? Is it because you couldnt
find a decent operator?
