Legacy Windows Archive ( Read Only )

Hi All, I am having trouble copying directories to my CD-R/W Drive for archival purposes. For example, if I right-click on a particular directory and select 'Send To' the CD-ROM Drive, the copy starts, but the time estimate for the process is many HOURS. The directory in question is 300MB in size. During the copy, which eventually finishes, the computer is essentially non-responsive. After the temporary files are created, the actual CD burn process is fairly quick. This is Windows XP-SP2. Any ideas why this process is Sooooooooooo Slow??? Thanks, John

When I got to Windows updates, it tells me I need to install SP3 and gives no other options for updates. I've heard of a lot of problems with SP3. Am I not going to be able to do any further updates to SP2? Is it SP3 or no further updates?

I've installed windows xp home onto a laptop that previously had fedora installed.

Using Windows Server Standard 2007 SP1. How can I PERMANENTLY map an FTP drive to a drive letter? I tried doing a Map Network Drive, but when I put ftp://ftp.myserver.com in the 'folder' it tells me that "Windows cannot access xxxxx". I am able to click on the "Connect to a web stie that you can use to store your documents and pictures." That will enable me to put in the ftp login info and see the files. BUT, I can't seem to map that connection to a drive letter. Can you help please???

On a windows 2003 TS. If a user logs into TS what printers should they see. I would think they would see shared printers that are configured on the TS plus any local (to their PC) printers that are dynamically created on the TS for use by that session (would not see other session printers). How wrong am I? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

I have been running Win98SE since 1998. I have a WinME Cd. I tried it in a spare harddrive. I saw no problems with it, but I only played around with the OS. Never ran any real applications. I have considered upgrading to WinME many times. I strongly dislike Win2000, and XP. Not to mention that my computer is likely too slow to run XP. I am fully satisfied with Win98, so I see no reason to upgrade. However, I know that ME has better USB support and a few other improvements. Yet, I have had many people tell me to avoid WinME. They say it's buggy. What is really wrong with ME? Where are the bugs? Thanks
