How to remove the default email account?

MoonlitBay — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 22:39:42 +0800

Hi,

I have two gmail accounts in my galaxy s, i would like to remove one account.
when i tried to remove, it's showing the popup it will reset to factory default.

how to remove the gmail account without resetting to factory default??? Pease help!!!

when I tried, its shows the popup message.

Remove account
do you really want to remove this account? removing it will also delete all of its messages, contacts, and other data from phone.
proceed?

<remove account> <cancel>

I selected remove account

Popup displayed

Remove account
This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the settings application, unclear privacy.

i have deleted all the data & synchronization for the selected account still i am not able to delete the account.

NEC Versa S3201

Hi, I bought this new laptop from NEC during the PC Fair, it doesn't come with Windows.
So I installed Windows XP and downloaded all drivers from the website.
Now everything is fine except I won't be able to use the built-in web cam.
Windows doesn't seem to recognise it correctly.
Can anyone having the same laptop model tell me how to activate it?
Thanks!

Facing slow speeds with my damaged switch

MoonlitBay — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 15:29:35 +0800

Broadband provider
Streamyx 1Mbps
Location: PJ

Personal equipment
Modem: Artnet RTA 230

Problem details
Question 1:
I have been facing very very slow connections lately.
I found that the problem lies with my switch, two of the ports have spoilt since the lightning struck abt 10 days ago.

I need to get a router / switch urgently.
Pls recommend me a good one.

Since I'm using Artnet RTA 230 router modem supplied by TM net, will it be feasible if I buy a better router? Or just a switch will do?

(the modem is placed in the room upstairs; 3 PCs are sharing the connection through a switch currently.)

Question 2:
I intend to get a wireless router as well.
I have a PC and a laptop in the study room downstairs; but there's only one line in the study room, so only one machine can use the line at a time.
If I were to place a wireless router in the study room, will both machines be able to online and still get a good speed?
Or will the connection be slower cos they're sharing a line?
