Even though I've only got Norton Anti-Virus and no other programs loading at boot, the boot time seems a bit slow -- between 40-50 seconds before...
Okay, thanks again. And another quick question, if I might: An icon for Windows Messenger keeps reappearing in my system tray every few days...
I just yesterday installed from Windows Update the NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420 driver 5.2.1.6. I may be having some problems with it and I'd like to...
Thanks again, Dennis. Actually my question was more about Word (or any other application) itself than about the files it works on. IOTW, if Word...
Okay, I think I know what happened but I could still use your advice on one issue. What happened was, I first tried to copy over my old .pst...
Wow, thank you Dennis and r.leale! I did it, and it took only half an hour to backup a 30GB system. I bought a second internal HDD and as soon...

Thanks, Steve. Could you explain how it's done? And why it's better than just copying the .pst -- for example, does one approach recreate your...
My hard drive failed and my backup software does less than it promised in recreating my system on a new hard drive. Terrific. So I have to...
Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder. First I'll diagnose the drive, and unless that tells me to chuck it, then I'll do an XP repair. Btw, do you...
Gracias! I'll pick it up tomorrow morning -- I've been dealing with this now since 3 AM, and I am fried. Just so you know, I ran chkdsk /p and...
