Running XP SP2 with IE6. I have more than 2000 cookies on my system. Would this have a tendency to slow down my IE6 browser? How do I get rid of all these cookies? I assume that most of them are obsolete. -- Walter http://www.rationality.net -

Dear all, I am using XP professional, It starts to slow down. When I right click on C: properties I find: used space 21GB, free space 6GB and capacity 27GB; and I see the pie chart is almost full of blue against purple. Few months ago it wasn't like that and I haven't installed any new programs since then, also I do not feel that my few programs will take all of this amount of GBs. I tried D.Cleanup, defragmentation, and deleting temporary files by using: Start Run (dllcache, recent, prefetch, temp, %temp% and files in internet properties) and also reduced System Restore settings. I checked C:Windows and found tens (10s) of files start with $NtUninstal…

Cap locks and multiple selection of lines in Excell
by Guest David- 4 replies
- 253 views
In Office 2007, in Excell, I occasionally have the program throw a fit and begin to select 2 or 3 lines or cells. I also notice at the same time, the cap lock key is reversed. When it is locked, I type in lowercase and when it is unlocked, I type in uppercase. I haven't figured out what I did to cause it or how to reverse it. I usually save the document, close the program and re-open or reboot. Other times in just seems to go away after a little while. Any clues as to what is happening? -- The more you know the less you know until the day comes you know nothing.

Would it be better to re-install Windows XP to repair it or to just choose repair. I think if I reinstall it I will loose all my data, am I correct? My computer keeps freezing up and blue screening, and I figure this would be the best way to elevate this problem. Please help.

RE: home page Probably an antivirus program is blocking attempts to change the home page. If you are using Norton Internet Security, turn this off by: 1. Open Norton Internet Security 2. Click Options, select Norton Antivirus 3. Under Internet, click Home Page Protection 4. Uncheck Turn Home Page Protection On Other systems are probably similar.
