Has anyone tested it yet, to see what it breaks (if anything)?

Mark – thanks. I just tried that, but it made no difference. The echo continues.

I played with the volume controls. I am using an Andrea NC61 noise cancelling headset, but I do not know if it is electret or not (Andrea site is not clear and nor is the documentation). My sound control was set at + 20db boost.

When I removed the boost, the echo became manageable, but a Skype call was too quiet for comfort. When I restored the boost, but cut the mike volume, the echo was OK but Skype just increased the volume back to max and I ended back where I started. It did that even if I told it not to control my mike – obedient little blighter. I wonder whether Skype might be part of my problem, since I recently upgraded to Skype 2.0. However, that upgrade was 29 April, and the echo appeared today.

I am going to sign off now since I am on European time – back tomorrow.

Thanks for the help so far

I went through the apps provided with Audigy 2, but could not find anything that gave any more control than Windows (which is not to say that it is not there somewhere!). I have not tried to update drivers as yet, but then it was all working fine without an echo (with the drivers that shipped with the card) until today, so these drivers ought to contain the solution….

I found this control, but surely that is only going to disable my mike. I don’t really want to do that, since if I then receive a Skype call, I can’t take it. Am I missing something?

It is really the echo that I am trying to disable.

Thanks. I guess it is brute force and ignorance then. It is not really worth developing a script for probably 1/2 hour of work.
I appreciate your thoughts

I think the cause of my problem is this. When I moved from Outlook 2000 to O2003, O2003 seems to have converted all my email items with the Modified Date as None. O2003 uses Modified date as the trigger for archiving (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/books/troubleshooting/outlook/ls/122001.asp) so presumably will not archive on a nul date. Presumably O2000 used Received date.

It looks like I will have to go through all my folders and archive manually for once, to get on track, unless anyone knows of an automated tool that will let me change the modified date.

Thanks Mark – we’ll give it a go.

No change to the default printer, so that was not the cause. However, since the problem has gone away, it is probably right to move on to another problem, at least until it reappears. Thanks for your help.

I had checked this tab, and it was already set to Arial. However, when I went back into Access following your reply the print font was back to Arial, as it should have been, without me making any changes. Beats me why – I guess I put it down to one of Bill’s little jokes.

Thanks

Thanks for the pointer, Mary. (I guess I should have found the KB article myself.) I will try this workaround, but it is nice of them, two iterations of IE6 security patches on, to have left this kludge unrecified!
