Yes, System restore fixes the problem for a session. Its one of those random annoying things. Thanks for the advice on how to try to track it down. I will try your suggestions.

Hi Wolluf, It is Windows XP home, using a P4 2.4 GHz with 1 Gig RAM. Recent software additions were Hercules 5.1 sound, (which caused a few problems)and more recently, DVD Writer using Nero; but the most recent was a new 17" Samtron 76E monitor. Thanks. Bye. David.

Hi, Why does my system sometimes start up with a blue screen and the following message appears in a box: "The System Endpoint is not valid". There is a file name in the box called "ISASS.EXE". If you click "OK", the p.c. just re-boots. Is there a problem with the...

Hi XEMUS, Thanks, but no, all I want is a pseudo activity light just like the real LED on the front panel of the case, but on my screen. The problem is that my case is in a cupboard and I can't see the drive light. Bye. DM.

Hi, I probably won't contribute much that is usefull to your problem except to tell you that I recently had similar problems trying to get 3 p.c.'s to talk to each other over a 100MB/s D-Link cable and a DSS-5+ D-Link switch. Longest cable run was about 20m. We had to make up the 20m cable...

Thanks Dakota81. I had a good laugh. Bye. DM.

Hi; I have a small network of 3 computers hooked up at home using 100Mb/s cable and NIC's and a hub. The network works okay. We can see shared folders etc. between the p.c.'s. I have been trying to get Outlook 2000 to send e-mail on this LAN. I tried setting up 'Exchange', but to cut a long...

Hi Jeffieboy, What did you do to solve the problem? I have the same problem. Thanks. Bye. Electron.

Hi HTH, Thanks. It works. Bye. Electron.

Hi, I used to be able to change the position of page breaks in an Excel sheet, in page-break view, by dragging the page-break line with the mouse. For some reason this feature has now suddenly dissappeared. The mouse pointer does not 'recognise' the page break line. I recently had to reload all...

Hi again, Sorry, I just realized that I gave you the directory tree for Windows2000. In WinME it is: C:\Windows\Profiles\"Your logon name"\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mailbox.pst Bye.

Hi, You should look for your Outlook file named "mailbox.pst" in the following directory: C:\Documents & Settings - Your logon name - Local Settings - Microsoft - Outlook - mailbox.pst Hope this helps. Bye. Electron.

Hi, I found out by playing around with the security permissions on different folders, (by right click on the folder when in Explorer), that if you log on as the Administrator, you can take ownership of the folder and then change the permissions. I have yet to find out how to prevent this, but I...
