Intermittently (maybe half the time), when I close a file I have opened from the explorer, it freezes for about 3 seconds before letting me do anything again. I doesn't seem to happen with .txt files, but it does happen with ..doc files (where the recovery exactly coincides with the backup file that Word created being deleted), and with .jpg files (which is why I don't suspect something with Word in particular), and maybe others. During this delay, keystrokes I make are lost (e.g. if I hit down arrow to move to the next file, it does not do so when it recovers). It seems that only explorer is frozen. I can switch to another application or bring up the …

Hi, Does anybody know where to find documentation about installation of Mappoint 2006 on Terminal Services

Why do all my local workgroup shares show up as "The Internet" in Network Places on my XP machines? UPnP devices show up as "Local Network". Even a share off the local host shows up as "The Internet". How does Network Places decide "The Internet" vs. "Local Network"?

I am getting a error message windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP, HTTPs, FTP. Check firwall settings Http Port 80, Https port 443, and FTP port 21. How do I do this? -- bob

Hi, I needed to replace my HDD on my 4 year old Packard Bell (PB) A7145 laptop. As readers may know PB laptops don't come with Windows XP installation disks but rely on the use of restore disks & a restore partition on the HDD. I no longer have the restore partition so thought that I only needed to reinstall Windows XP and use the product key that came with the original laptop. That didn't work because it looks as though PB use a particular OEM version of Windows. I see that the sticker is marked NEC presumably indicating that it is a special version. My options seen to be: - buy another Windows XP but that will cost more than the laptop is worth, …

Hi all, I have a 64bit Windows 2003 R2 machine. It is an exchange server, and it is starting to run out of space on the C: drive (only 2.6 GB left). Pretty much the only thing that puts files on the C: drive are Windows Updates. I was thinking about making some changes to the swap file to make some room. The server has 32GB of RAM. The swap files are currently setup as follows: C: 2046-4092 MB E: 2046-49149 MB My question is this: What if I change the size of the swap partition on the C: drive to say...300MB? That would give me plenty of room, as the swap file is currently taking up 2.5GB. Is it safe to do this? Any help is appreciated, th…

Hello again all, Back again :-( For last few days my PC has been coming up with an 'ADD ON' error. The add-on is AcroPDF.dll, so I worked out how to disable this, but the error message still come up! Also to follow this error, this next error comes up (before it just shuts IE down completley):- SysFader: IEXPORE.EXE Application Error The instruction at "0x0508fc89" referenced memory at "0x00000044". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate Click CANCEL to DEBUG But when I press CANCEL it doesn't DEBUG at all, and when I press OK it shuts down explorer. I hope someone can help me and tell me how to fix these problems. I hav…
