    Hi

    I am backing up my files with NTI Backup Now 5, I found it already installed on my computer :D

    The EASEUS just didnt want to write on the small HDD?? I dont know whats wrong with it.

    My computer is really playing up after installing windows updates... I cant see my power on my laptop and the internet connection on the tray on the taskbar, so frustrating i feel like smashing the thing!

    Check (from memory, running Windows 7) ....

    Start > Network Connections > right click on your connection and ensure that the 'Show icon ...' box is checked.

    Control Panel > Power Options and on one of the tabs check the 'Show icon .... ' box

    Forgot you'running Vista - never used it regularly .....

    Somewhat different from XP - as this problem does not bear any relationship to the thread title please start a new thread on this.
