Hi, Just thought of the other question I wanted to ask. I am pretty sure its been asked here before, but I couldnt find it on the search. My XP box takes about 30 seconds to get from completed bootup (when most apps are available) to "network" bootup where I can connect to the internet etc. I...

Hi all, Ive come across this annoying problem that I thought someone might know about. Since I have upgraded my home machine to Win XP Pro all cd music has been skipping about every ten-fifteen seconds irregardless of the player I use (Real One, Windows Media Player etc). I just thought that...

Hi, I am having a trouble in XP which I have had before in other OS's, which is bootup will be very fast and get to the desktop no problem. At this point everything is accessible except network related things, such as connecting to the net and network properties etc. The computer works and...

Hi all, Im having a problem that Im pretty sure is with TPF. At startup, it loads, and my computer hangs for around 30 seconds. Then it posts an error something like "The desktop cannot be set back" and after that things work ok. Has anyone confronted this before? Id love to continue using TPF...

You know when you reset without shutting down and Windows comes up and says "Windows wants to check your files, you can skip this, but not recommended...." etcetc Then it counts down from ten and starts checking. With many partitions it becomes so annoying waiting for that ten seconds for each...

Hi, Why is it that XP redistributes drive letters? I had them all setup in the order I wanted them in 2K, but when I install XP it changes the letters around. Meanwhile, 2K is still running happily with the config I want... Can I change the XP ones back in line with 2K again? Joshua

Hi, I have both OSs running on the same OE message store, so my email is up to date whichever I sign into. However 2K is running IE 5.5 and XP obviously has IE 6. Emails gathered in XP do not appear when 2K is loaded, nor do changes carry over (eg. if I move emails between folders) I tried...

Hiya, It might be heat - are the drives close together? I had three drives in bays next to each other (an IBM, a Seagate, and a Quantum) and they freaked out, giving off high pitched beeps and crashing. They were very hot. I removed the middle drive and bought some brackets to mount it in a...

Hi, Reverted back to IE5.5 and so far so good...have to wait till I next boot into XP though - to see whether my mail accounts have been deleted again! Thanks for the help, Joshua

cool, Yeah I do have IE6 installed. I didnt want to, but I am using the same mail store for 2K and XP and weird things were happening when one was IE5.5 and one was IE6. I think I will try to uninstall IE6 - or cant you do that? :) Joshua

Hi all, I have a strange problem on Win2K. Currently, whilst exploring my file system in Explorer many of the small + icons that allow you to expand and contract folder trees disappear, on folders that have subfolders. I cannot close the branch from the right click menu "Collapse&quot...

Hi, I have this problem too and thought it was something to do with what you suggest, but can anyone give me pointers on how to correct it? Joshua

Hiya, My guess is you have the "Lock the taskbar" (or something similar) function active. I believe to change this Right click on the taskbar and click properties and there is a checkbox for this item. Uncheck it. Then it should work. Sorry if this isnt exactly the process to get...
