Dell Dimension 8300

Hi all
I have an old dell dimension 8300 that I had apart for some years and
have just put in a new power supply reloaded Windows XP. Now I have Outlook
Express again and can post to this news group, everything is working fine.
It has been on for about three weeks and everything is fine.
Just one question, are both the cpu fan and power supply fan supposed to
vent to the outside of the case? I can't remember the air flow direction
for the cpu fan.


Also what is the file path to the store folder for the address book in
Windows XP?

My newest computer has Windows 7, does it have a new reader? Are they
any good free new readers I can use with Windows 7?

Thank you all so much with help.

Just do a search for *.wab, it should be the username.wab. Search will find
it for you.

windows 7 does not have a mail/newsgroup reader like outlook express
built into it. there are several free readers available, the most
popular of which are thunderbird from mozilla.org (the people that also
make firefox), and windows live. windows live is often found
pre-installed on new dells and though it wants to install lots of other
related junk as well as get you to sign up for a windowslive email
account, you can use it just for news without any of those things.

Hi, Bill,

After hitting the send button, I realized I should have written, "On all my
machines, including my Win7s (32 and 64-bit Home Premium), I use XNEWS.

And like you, I use OExpress as my mail reader on my non-Win7 machines. If
I could use OE on my Win7s, I would.
