When I click on publish this file to the web, the web publishing wizard opens, select the files I want to publish, then click next, to where do you want to publish these files. It USED to have -- MSN GROUPS PHOTOBUCKET NOW it only has MSN GROUPS so I can't upload my pictures to photobucket unless I go to photobucket site. Did this change or has something gone "buggy" here?

Dear Captain Microsoft, I am setting up one of my old computers to give to a friend and it is not functioning as normal, i.e. it is reporting as a CD only whereas it is definitely a DVD burner. This has happened in the past and I got some excellent advice from a MS newsgroup however, being a geriatric with advanced senility and hygiene issues, I can't recall what it was. If any here has sage advice in this matter, I will appreciate it forever. Anopheles

Windows Desktop Search lagging
by Guest Paul- 0 replies
- 174 views
I have been trying the new Windows Search 4.0, and I do like it, but I have one question. In the right-hand pane, where the document preview appears, even for short (1-2 page docs), it can take a good 10 seconds to appear. This is rather slow, because the middle pane (where I see the results) don't have any "preview" or results from inside the document that allow me at the blink of an eye to see if the doc is possibly the one I'm looking for. How can I get the right-pane doc preview to appear more quickly? -- Paul MS Office Pro 2003 XP Home Dell Inspiron 1501

I find now, that I can open most pages withour problems, like say The Times; but with the Guardian and the Daily Mail the mouse has little control and find scrolling down difficult as the pages hanga nd then jump. Could this be because I do not have Java/Flash and others installed? What is the minimum that I must allow for easy IE viewing? Thank you JB

I am desperate for a solution. Anyone out there have any ideas, I would be forever grateful. Because of where we live there are only so many lines for highspeed and I ain't one of the…

The internet connection status icon is continually showing that my computer is sending data. When I click on it and check the details of the status it shows it is sending about 100 bytes per second. This did not happen before, or if it did send whilst I was not active on the computer it would only be for a brief period. Now it is sending continuously. I have run Adaware and Norton 360 scans and found no problems. Help please.
