My Photos folder opens VERY slowly...
by Guest Howard B- 7 replies
- 380 views
Hi everyone! I have a Dell Dimension running Windows XP with enough RAM! Today when I tried opening up My Photos folder from my C drive, it took a VERY long time to open. Once I opened a selected a folder within My Photos, the folder opened, but when I chose to go back, it took a very long time to perform that activity, as well. Rebooting the computer did not help. Opening up the My Pictures folder from my external G hard drive (everything is back up there) opened instantly. Any ideas? Thanks!

Windows Explorer - SLOW
by Guest Jon Delano- 9 replies

Hey all I am running XP Pro SP3 2GIG DDR2 800 RAM on a SATA HD (with 20G Free) CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.66 What I am finding is when I double click on a folder, it takes 3-5 seconds for it to open. Even with 0 objects in the folder, same when using the back button or the UP button. Any change in you location using explorer takes a while. The window turns white and then displays the contents, in addtion. Explorer.exe takes about 50% CPU utilization to do this magical trick. I tried re-applying SP3 incase a file was corrupted somehow. I've run anti-virus/spayware scans from Trend-Micro, AVG (which runs all the time) and SUPER Anti-Spyware, with no results…

Hi, lately I'm quite annoyed by the quicklaunch, in fact if I don't open it for long time it takes almost 1 minute to open. Of course avg8 plays its role on it but I wonder if someone had the same problem and was able to relieve it.

XP Pro SP2 now has Logon Message(long)
by Guest gram pappy- 3 replies

Several days ago upon reading in a security newsgroup: "Use two computer accounts. Using separate accounts will protect against the vast majority of malware. Use a Limited account for all of your daily work. Use an Administrator account only for administrative tasks." I know this is basic old hat but I'm slow. Anyhow I took the plunge and set up the two accounts. Orig Administrator account: AEM Changed to: AEM Admin (with administrator owned files on C:\Documents and Settings\AEM) Created new Limited account: AEM I then spent several hours copying needed files such as Start menu, Boolmarks, Favorites and personal utilities. I plugged alone for two-thre…

Geez, slide shows are so much easier :-) I have a wedding page made in Frontpage 2003, Used the insert web component, Photo gallery and got the thumbnails on the page OK, but when I upload the page to my website NO Thumbnaails.

Although I may be thourly confused, as I usually am :-) Thanks in advance for any suggestions

locked out of login
by Guest alice- 5 replies
- 327 views
I set my XP PC to reboot into safe mode automatically, using msconfig. Upon reboot, it asks for my login, and when I enter it it says it is incorrect. It is not incorrect, it is the login I have used for years now, never changed it. So my only thought was to get to the boot options using F8 and choose to boot normally, but when I do this, the keyboard suddenly stops working. I can get to the boot menu, but then the arrow keys do not work so I cannot select a different option or even hit return to accept the one given, and I notice that the caps lock key will not work at this point. When I try a different keyboard, I can't even get F8 to work. What are my options…

MSN blocks Trillian
by Guest Pdigmking- 7 replies
- 371 views
Microsoft is now blocking Trillian instant messaging. This is rediculous. I have two reason for using Trillian instead of MS mesenger. First, messenger does all kinds of crap in the background and wants to run itself all the time, and it has this pop up window that has nothing to do with my IM session. In other words, I dumped MS messnger for the same reason I dumped AOL years ago, it became abuntantly clear to me that the service was about prividing access to me rather than for me. Second I don't like to have several IM programs running at once, having one program- Trillian is simpler and safer. MS is just being a pissant here, there's no reason to …
