  1. PIN issues


    Hi, please helpI turn my laptop on and it says 'You've entered an incorrect PIN several times to try again enter A1B2C3' as a challenge phrase, when I do this it asks me to enter a PIN. I have not set up a PIN, when I try and guess what it could be it tells me to try again in 2 hours. My laptop is only 2 years old. Thank you

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

    Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

    After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
