Clean Booting

well, if you have found that your system works perfectly in safemode(s), then this is good news. it indicates that windows itself is not corrupted. it also suggests that when you boot into normal mode something is loading and installing into windows that is also corrupting it. as the other responder suggests it could be a bad or incompatiable driver. however, it can also be malware or it could be a poorly designed program or a program that is improperly configured. there are several methods to approach issues like these. however this seems to be a good one to start with and there are others as well. just keep us posted with your status..... …

Is there a way to display all folders across a number of different drives in one view? So, for example, let's say I have folder ABC in Drive C, and Folder XYZ in Drive D. I want to display the folders in both drives at the same time (not in separate windows). If this can't be done in XP, can it be done by a commercial file manager? Thanks, Guy

Going by the KC: "Warning Writing the master boot record to the hard disk in this manner can make certain hard disks partitioned with SpeedStor unusable. It can also cause problems for some dual-boot programs and disks with more than four partitions." <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69013/en-us> does this mean that the command will fail for an OEM install? thanks, Thufir

Hi there. Im running Windows XP SP2 + all fixes released. Upon til today I only had a "Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000", connected through USB. Everything worked well, except for the poor performance in games which is why I decided to buy another mouse. Today I got the "Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0", which I also connected on USB. Now it seems these two mice can cooperate on the system with just one, VERY annoying glitch. The mousewheel on my Intellimouse explorer just wount work, unless I unplug the Wireless laser mouse, then the wheel instantly works. Im using the latest (v6.1 I think) drivers for intellimouse from Microsoft. No matte…

However, as there is only 1 port (1 port for connecting ADSL signal and 1 port for Ethernet), I would like to know why they say that modem is a router ? From my basic understanding, a router should connect more than 1 machine. Thanks

Understanding Cookies
by Guest PT- 12 replies

1. I visit a number of sites on a regular basis. Many require a login. Once I've entered the login information, the site creates a cookie in the cookie cache so that I don't have to log in on subsequent visits. So far - I follow the process. 2. Now, periodically I like to flush out all the other hundreds of cookies which sites have dropped into my cookie cache. But I want to retain the cookies for the sites I set up in step 1. But they are sccattered in the listing of hundreds of useless cookies. So here's what I tried. I created a folder called "Cookies-Hold". Into it, I manually copied the cookies from the desired sites. Then, several weeks …
