~$ (1K) version & .tmp file appear upon opening documents
by Guest Enigma- 1 reply
- 229 views
??? Upon opening any document, a ~$ (1K) version of the document appears in the folder menu. When a document is saved, the document and a ~WRL3436.tmp file appear in the folder menu. When the original document is closed the ~$ and temporary file also disappear. This just started happening a few days ago. I have WinXP Student P4 with Word 2007. Is my PC infected or is this a program error? How can this be corrected or should it be left alone? Could this be caused by a recent automatic update installed? Has anyone else had this problem? Please help. -- Simone de Beauvoir (Enigma)

Windows Explorder refrsh rate
by Guest Steve Wright- 1 reply
- 191 views
Hi, Whenever I go into Windows Explorer the screen is refreshed every second. Imagine that someone is pressing the refresh button continuously. This means I can't scroll thru files, and can't select files because the screen is contunually refreshing. When this happens, you see the orginal Icons and then a second later they are replaced with the dedicate specialist ones. Then the screen refreshes to be replaced with the original ones. This is contunual every second. So what is going on here? PS I did put in a new graphics card a couple of weeks ago. Regards, Steve.

windows files messages
by Guest chief2000- 3 replies
- 242 views
Once in a while I keep getting messages saying that "files that are required for windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions." It then asks me to insert my Windows XP disc. I have XP home edition with SP1 and 2 installed along with all current updates. I have not experienced any major problems except that my joystick does not operate properly and is pretty new. Windows should recognize it without any software installation in the USB 2.0 port. It will not calibrate either. Don't know if this problem is even remotely connected with the "files" msg. Even if it isn't, I'd like to nip it in the bud before anything major occurs.

Folder and File Names Have Disappeared
by Guest Jim- 2 replies
- 228 views
I created a new folder on my desktop and moved some files into the folder. All went smoothly but now when I access the folder the names under the yellow folders and under the (for example) MS Word icons have disappeared. When I change view from "Thumbnails" to "Tiles" the folder names show up, but I prefer to use the "Thumbnails" view. This is only happening to one folder. All the other folders on my computer are fine. I ran my anti-virus, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, CWShredder, Spyware Blaster and refreshed my Zone Alarm. Everything comes back as clean. Can anyone help? Thanks. Jim

Aloha all. I posted this before, but missed the answers...sorry. I have a Card Reader in my computer. It reads 9 different types of memory cards. I use SD, 1GB cards. When I put them in they are read fine, but whenever I try to write to the card I am told the card is write protected. It is not. I have the tab in the correct position...have tried in both ways. Nothing I can do to get the system to see the card as unprotected. What can I do? Thanks!
