If the back of the phone gets very warm after rebooting, consider replacing the battery. My Tour use to reboot after web surfing or during a call. After it reboot, battery life was very low. I replaced the battery and the rebooting has been eliminated

thanks a lot. Regarding the hosts file. It usually contains the “example” line you used above adobe.activate.com 127.0.0.1 and a list of other lines related to adobe as well. Is that 1 line enough or i need to use the long hosts i’m finding all over the net? I’m using CS5 and 4 at the same time. plz help

I have never notice, maybe because I didn’t know, that antivirus ware on the explorer consumes some ‘memory’ and slows the processor. I have also noticed that most add-ons that come with explorer produces many errors. What might be the cause?

Oh yes. And if your time’s free you’ll enjoy playing with it too.
