Win XP Pro running RAID1 with SATA drives. No problem. Have an external 1TB drive via USB no problem. Decided to change the external to SATA. When I powered up I had an indication there was a problem with the RAID configuration and it was taking forever to boot. I stopped the process and...

IE7 with XP Pro w/sp3. IE7 loads fine with home page as blank. The problem is with the first page load. Regardless of the site the first site loads very slowly. After that it runs normally. Opera and Firefox run without this problem. I have disabled Windows Defender, AVG and still the...

I have run spyware checkers and run windows defender. It has not and did not find anything. I finally gave up and since this was on a backup machine I reformatted and did a clean install. I think the problem had to do with the MS Office XP Pro eventhough it showed up when explorer or internet...

Thanks for you help but here is what did work. 1. Open a command prompt window first. 2. Open taskmanager and end the explorer process. The taskbar should vanish. 3. In the command prompt type: rmdir /s c:\recycler where c: is the drive and press <enter>. If it prompts you, answer yes to...
