Sometimes when there is a compile error the output window shows the error, but when I correct it, the build won't *start again* ! If I try to quit VC, it says "there is a build in progress, stop it first with Stop Build". Only Stop Build doesn't do anything. So my only recourse is to...

I just installed XP on a clean new system. I don't have automatic updates turned on (I checked it off), I don't have anything on this system, not even Office. When I dial up, the connection status shows a constant upload - no programs are running, the task list is empty, and still it keeps...

Visual C++ 6.0 installed without the help. When I click on Help it says &quot;A required component is missing.&quot; And I can't install it from the CD, it says it can't find MSDN. How can I get MSDN?

I crashed the system and after reset Windows decided to 'restore' the registry to a previous version, which messed up everything. I have this Network Neighborhood I can't get rid of, and the Volume control icon is gone from the tray. Help?

My PC won't start with the power button. I have to unplug the power cord, wait for a couple of seconds (mandatory) and then plug it back in. That's the only way it will start. It's a 4-year-old K6-II PC. Input or similar experience appreciated!
