Tsok! The last time I had major problems with this (or the previous? can't remember) machine was in the middle of a move, too... It just proves that Murphy is the chief engineer of Windows and the universe in general! (can't speak for Mac, have never had one) BTW I did a reboot earlier today...

Is the humour caused by the 5-1/4 legacy drive or the PIII (or both)? :-) I've thought about replacing it many times, but couldn't afford it. However, my new job as of July 1st will shortly be landing me a Toshiba Satellite laptop running at 2.2 (or is it 2.4) GHz, so I think I will be back in...

Checked Event Viewer. Under System events, I found, between the start and end of "Windows File Protection" (which appears to be a log of the scan) the following error: The System Restore filter encountered the unexpected error '0xC0000056' while processing the file 'shell32.dll.new'...

Hi again Thanks for the info. I haven't rebooted yet, so no idea whether or not the fix is stable. RAM is 384 Mb btw. I doubt that the CD-Writer is to blame, since it, the regular CD-ROM, *and* A:\ are all exhibiting the same symptom (I omitted to check whether W98 read the CDs properly; and I...

I don't think it could be a loose connection in the box: a) I resolved it the first time by increasing the freespace from 400 mb to 1.2 Gb, and it didn't resurface until I started running low again. Also, the box has not been moved. And, as I say, the A:\ drive works fine from W98; and the CD...

No good. I'm afraid the links to MS Support were not relevant either. I searched the site some more to no avail. Also just noticed the CDs are off-line again. Although, when I insert a CD, the CD inserted icon flashes on and off a few times and then disappears; but when I try to access it...

Device manager shows the device as functioning properly. Troubleshooter didn't suggest anything useful. I already tried deleting the device and having it reinstal, several times. No good. I didn't try removing the controller, I can try that. (After my earlier post I remembered that since I...

Some time back, I began to run out of free space, and my CD-ROM, burner, and floppy drive all became inaccessible. For the A drive I got the message A:\is not accessible. Incorrect function I didn't realize it had to do with freespace, since there was no warning, but more or less found out by...

Hi I have created a report with a subreport for detail items. I would like the items to be listed in balanced column format (i.e. two columns, down the left column for x items, then down the right column for x or x-1 items, as the case may be). Though one can tell the reporting system that the...

That's the impression one gets, yes. But there's no real reason I can see why that should be. It can be a very convenient feature, energy-wise, on desktops, if it would only work as claimed.... K

Hi Just some observations, having noticed this thread... I recently activated Hibernation (and yes, I have N. Systemworks) since it seems a convenient alternative to powering on and off umpteen times a day. I've noticed that sometimes it doesn't go into hibernate, sometimes it does... There...

Hi Dave, Well, sounded simple enough. Opened IE; went to a page; clicked on a link that spawned a new page (which was smaller); closed the original; enlarged the spawned page; closed it. Reopened IE; went to the first page; spawned the second page-- it was smaller again. Did it by File>Close...

Hi, Aside: I didn't notice your response right away. For some reason, even though notify is turned on, I only rarely receive a notification that there has been a response... (Do I have to turn on E-mail notification on every post?) >A few other things to try before we get to the re-install...

Ok, that was actually a LOT more painless than I thought... but no cigar. Same problem. Given my observation in the last post, am now supposing it is a flag in the IE6 section re: subwindows. Any thoughts on this? (I know from previous experience that a full reinstal of XP will do it but...

I was trying to avoid a reinstal, leaving it as a last resort. However... Did the remove as you indicated; following reboot it 'cleaned up personal settings'. Interesting note: got back to this thread by clicking its link in my inbox, and noticed that the new window is also slightly smaller...
