    Download files options

    Not sure this is the correct forum. My desktop sends all PDF files I receive on the web via Email to My documents as a saved file. I do not seem to be able to correct this automatic choice to either save or open the file to read first, so I have no choice but to download every one as a saved...

    Typing over a PDF document possible?

    NO I think if you use the free version we all have, then you cannot do it. Even FoxitReader, that is a free option will not let you do that, only alternative is to go for the paid/professional versions. Not sure you have a way out without paying David

    Undo dual boot

    Hi Navid Well I think I know what was the mystery. Initially the new MOBO was set to boot to First=Floppy (I do not have a floppy drive) Second=HD Third=CD that is why I had such a hard time to install Win from the install CD,first try fail and second try with a lot of forcing installed...

    Yes, the boot.ini is like the one I posted,also is true that selecting either A or B has different speed, A is slower, the screens is gray for a while like takes longer searching for the files while B is faster, almost immediately has the regular Windows screen comeup. Again the two choices are...
