Thanks for your help. I had already contacted him by e-mail; nothing that he was aware of was happening that would cause my problem: no site...
My problem is that most of the time (at least 80%), I cannot maintain a usable connection to one specific site (it is 'Juza Nature Photography');...
Thank you!. I just ran GPEdit and prohibited Messenger from running (and undid my startups-stopper). Will post back with the results. Edit:...
Ever since I clicked on what turned out to be a link to a newsgroup, at which time Outlook Express opened (I closed it immediately), whenever I...
Matt-- Thanks for that info about hard disks wearing out mechanically. The ones that died were both 3 years old, and I use the computer every...
Yeah... I just bought a discounted copy of a runs-on-XP game collection because I used to love an old, DOS, Sierra card-games program that I...
I thought I was being virtuous. I run chkdsk regularly now because both the hard drives that were in my computer six months ago failed, and I just...
Thank you both! My curiosity is satisfied, and I even learned something(s). I dismounted I: and ran chkdsk just now, and the screen showed...
Thanks for the links. I read, but they don't answer my question; they tell what chkdsk does, which chkdsk (normal or autocheck) runs under which...

I run ChkDsk regularly ( "ChkDsk C: /f," "ChkDsk J: /f," and then respond "Y" to have Windows do it at next system start); when I look at the...
Thanks, Mailman! Turns out my workaround doesn't always work (clock just reappeared!) I had looked at Kellys-Korner, hoping, but I didn't see...
The taskbar (notification area) clock does not want to stay hidden. I tried GPEdit, enabled "Remove Clock from Notification Area," and the...
Then I don't know... Sorry! (You may want to re-post in case other people think I've answered your question.) D_Spider
Griff-- My guess is that you're triggering the computer switch with static electricity. Try this: hold the metal end of your USB Pen or the...
Thanks, Charles, Marty, & Pete, I'll go and get the file. Sorry I didn't respond sooner--my email address is new and I forgot to change it...
And there is a freeware "Folder Icon Changer v5.1" that works on everything but the C:\Windows folder. I've changed the icons on my C: drive and...
Every time I shut down or reboot my system (XPproSP2), the event log shows a warning for event ID 1517: "Windows saved user's registry while an...
Thanks very much, Arie! I thought the "in C:\Documents" part of that first message wasn't right, but I didn't know how and why it wasn't, and...
Six months ago, I registered a shareware program with a registry-file "key" and had no problem. Now, when I double-click on another program's...
