balo....sorry to say, your suggestion didn't work. About every 36 hours, several of the active icons get covered up by the <<, and a single click...
balo....verrrrry interesting, I've just implemented it and will post here if it worked or not (at least my machine didn't crash after the reboot)....
Chas....thanks, now I know it's not just me that thinks it's "buggy ".
Jim... "hide when inactive" is "unhide when active" in my jargon....same thing. I've found the whole Notification Area to be a strange mess, it...
Steve...no, that's how I ordinarily set them up. But they won't unhide (altho they're set to unhide when active) until I left click 'em. And...
The SP2 install went well, except that the Notification Area (the old Systray) has some weird behavior. Every couple of days, apparently at...
Jim....just noticed you were from ABQ, I'm just up the road at the City Different. HP said not all scanners had a problem, maybe 15-20%. Mine is...

I know many scanners won't work off a USB hub....but how about printers?
Chas....sfc scannow seems to work now, it just wouldn't work (in safe mode) when the machine crashed.
Newt, Jim....your comments are very interesting. From Newt's comment, rightly or wrongly, I deduce that M/S hadn't thought about this problem....

I've been operating under the assumption that the XP defrag software is pretty much OK and I should just use it, it's tailored to XP (whatever...
PeteC.........I guess my question isn't clear...I realize that SS is big collection of stuff, but when would I want to use SS and not just do a...
There appears to be two levels of Registry Backup...one can backup (1) just the Registry Keys or (2) the entire Registry ( "System State "). I do...
Seems like a good suggestion......
Steve....my HD is in pretty good "shape ", and ordinarily would not need a defrag. Why would/should I defrag before installing SP2? Thnx
JohnB...yep, that's what happens.......you get "user" and "u ", I get "ChrisW" and "C ". If I got "user ", that would be OK. ChrisW is my...
JohnB, I appreciate your input, with your good instructions I finally figured out what normal.dot is! I find the whole thing very perplexing...
