Five Minutes

Everyday. You're hunched at the computer, flicking the keys with the greatest of ease - or, like me, poking each stroke with the speed of a...umm...well, it DID rhyme! Everyday. You're mesmerized for hours by the wonders of Internet business - you market, you negotiate, you design, you submit, you research, you chat...a lot... Everyday. Enthralled and empowered by your cyber-independence, you plan and scheme, plot and dream. While life in the REAL world goes on around you... "Hey Mom, can I have lunch now?? It's three o'clock!!" "Huh? Whaa...yeah, five minutes, honey...lessee, click here..." Funny how the daily grind hasn't ground to a halt…

I have a windows 98 machine that i have used for years. Internet has been dial up until recently. i installed a network card and put it on a router. now, the dial up won't work. It shows its connected in the tray, but the browser won't load. i went to control panel and brought up Internet options. the window opens with 7 tabs on the top. all the tabs work EXCEPT the tab i need, the connections tab. when i go to connections, the screen remains on the last selected tab and the Internet properties window freezes. Is there a way to fix this short of re installing windows? Bob

help fixing problem
by Guest SlickRCBD- 7 replies
- 385 views
For some reason, for the last month whenever I click on "Open containing folder" in the find file dialog box, or when I get properties of a shortcut and click "Find target", or anything that would normally open up a window containing files, nothing happens. Also, the system tray icon for Personal Web Sharing is failing to appear. PWS still works in the limited capacity I use it to occasionally share files with an old powermac (I haven't tried to use it for anything else), but it's annoying to have to go drill down through the start menu and open up the Personal Web manager to turn it on and off instead of just being able to do it instantly from the star…

PE-Shield is hidden
by Guest ms- 0 replies

Recently I tried to run a small noinstall utility, gave a error message: invalid page fault in MSVCRT.dll at 0167:78009465, had to key Close on the error screen 9 times before it closed. Then, in Taskbar, PE Shield opened for the first time with error screen: can't access comdlg32.dll". Closed that. I only get these messages, at this point (don't use this machine every day) on this one utility, which normally works fine. As the files could be corrupted, in DOS I replaced those 2 files from a good source. I also replaced the utility with another copy, same result. Search does not turn up any reference to PE-Shield. Two registry tools show no entry…

Does anyone know what Windows code fragment _delis is supposed to do? It may belong to OE (v.6.00.2800.1123) or perhaps Winfax v.8 (just reinstalled, not yet patched/updated) was associated with an odd system hang (revealed by Ctl Alt Del but would not unload on command) then total system hang ("Cannot write to C: when nothing was supposed to be writing to C.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)
