    I've deleted the "Pictures" folder and can't get it back...

    I can re-create it in C:\Users\Aaron, but it doesn't have the "magic" that the old one used to. For one, it doesn't have the special icon. Secondly, I can't right-click it and move its source location like I can with Music, Documents, Downloads, etc. (which is what I trying to do in the first...

    HTTP uploads are timing out on any site... Unless uploading puny file

    Probably the most bizarre problem I've had to troubleshoot in a long while. Basically it's exactly as the title says: If I try to upload a file, say an attachment on gmail or to a blog, I get a "connection reset" error. Unless, however, that file is very small. A 35kb file failed, but a 7kb...

    Where would I find A7N8X-E USB 2.0 drivers?

    I've an ASUS A7N8X-E, and it has 6 USB 2.0 ports (4 built in, connections for two more) and I can't get them transferring at high speed. I have a 2.0 card reader which works much much faster on my brother's laptop than on my computer. I've installed the USB 2.0 drivers on the MoBo's driver CD to...

    Telling my monitor to go to standby via a shortcut?

    I know how to tell my monitor to turn itself off after 20 minutes or however long I wish, but I'd like a way to turn it off whenever I pressed a key... I would rather NOT turn my hard discs off at the same time (so system standby/hibernation aren't options) because I usually just turn it off to...

    Word: Call method of UserForm on keypress

    So I have a UserForm, and I'd like to call a method (Sub) of it when a key is pressed (for instance a character typed in the document). Ideally, I'd do this in the code of the userform, but I'd imagine I'd have to capture the event in the macro file or something? ActiveDocument_KeyPress was my...

    Create Normal.dot UserForm which doesn't demand focus

    I'm looking to create a sort of "toolbox" of my own for my word documents. Right now it just displays useful statistics in a UserForm, but that form acts as an "Always-On-Top" window in the documents. I would love to have the window visible, but still be able to type in the work area. How would...

    XP and 2k on a home network?

    I can't for the life of me figure out how to get WinXP and Win2k to be able to share files between one another. I've got ICS going between the two comps (XP being the client, 2k the host) but cannot get files to share. Could someone please provide some details on this? It'd be most appreciated...

    CD drive detected only when media is present

    My Sony CD-RW drive will only be detected by XP if there's a CD in it when I boot the PC. Otherwise it's not there and when I put in a CD like the winXP, nothing happens because I don't have a CD-ROM drive (doesn't appear in Explorer) Any thoughts?

    SymError - can't remove it!

    Symantec's Personal Firewall has decided to inject all pages on my domain with popup-window-killing code. I've uninstalled the firewall and yet the code-injecting persists... I'm hoping/praying that someone can inform me as to how to remove this "feature". Thanks for any help :)

    USB devices randomly "uninstalled" and then reinstalled

    So I just got a new motherboard (EPoX 8K3AE) and now my USB devices get shut off from time to time and sometimes either don't come back on or it says "new USB device detected" as if they'd been uninstalled! Could this be associated with an under-powered power supply? It's not a 300...

    XFX GeForce 4 Ti4200 128mb - Comp reboots in intense moments

    So I just got this thing for Xmas, and when I play games like Grand Theft Auto 3, it runs fine for a bit but then the game freezes, loops sound and previous motions, then my comp reboots. In Giants: Citizen Kabuto, the game will run fine for 15 mins of online play, but then the round ends, I go...

    Max 5 slow in XP

    What's the deal? It takes FOREVER to load in XP. I know it works cuz a buddy of mine has the same version and it works fine in XP. What would cause this on my comp? AMD Athlon 900 GeForce 2 MX-400 32 WinXP Pro SP1 Thanks for any help.

    Long delay before IE becomes usable

    For some reason my Norton LiveUpdate couldn't connect to the symantec servers or whatever and now IE won't actually go anywhere for about 5 minutes and once it's "ready" it works just fine... The delay seems a lot like the "detecting proxy settings" delay when you first run...

    Resources over-used when CD-ROM is being read

    Whenever I stick in a CD and try to install something, or I'm burning something, my CPU usage climbs and my RAM is almost fully used (I've 256mb). Anyone have any idea why this would happen?

    DllHost.exe is lagging my system, and so is something else...

    DllHost.exe starts up with Internet Explorer each time (it doesn't start with MSN explorer for some reason...) and when I go to sites with fancy flash content, my CPU usage jumps to 100%. If I CTRL+DELETE and kill DllHost.exe in the services tab, the lagging on the flash sites stops. However, it...

    CPU Usage rockets for simple tasks

    It may not be a windows 2000 thing, since it didn't do this before I formatted. Anyway, my computer "lags" when performing simple taks like minimizing/maximizing windows with the window animations turned on, and right clicking (the fade effect). My mouse sort of jerks and my CPU usage...

    Oddly behaving mouse in Win2k

    I've updated all my drivers for my mouse (MS Intelimouse Explorer USB) but when I do things like open windows and minimize them, the mouse will sort of hang wherever I clicked until the task is finished. I think it may have something to do with my computer lagging a bit when windows does it's...
