Linney - Thanks for the info on the View as Web Page... As for the icons - yes, I mix & match the Thumbnails and Details views - my gripe is: if I Thumbnail view a folder with many files, and also many sub-folders, the folders get the preview skins, which among other things makes my HD grind...

Hi - got a couple of quick XP Home questions: 1.) How do I get rid of the content icons on folders in Windows Explorer? 2.) Is there a way to make Explorer view files as Web Page, a la Win98? I deal with tons of graphics files, and the View as Web Page was one of the best features of 98...

Hi... I posted a reply to your question in the Win forum, and this is a follow-up - all the Asus A7V's I've seen have VIA controllers; I think the -R suffixes are the only boards that have the Promise chipset, and yet you're not using RAID - maybe a conflict going on? May pay you to grab the...

Hi... I know you touched on it already, but I've seen some WEIRD problems from IDE cables - if you're still foundering, replace the ribbon cable, and check out the pwr supply cable, too (another source of funky symptoms)... John http://robofactory.mybravenet.com/ "A Mind Is A Terrible...

Hi... One thing you guys might try is putting your systems on a good UPS with a regulator - often I've had these UI or ghost problems, and it turned out to be spikes or a ground loop...one key symptom to look for in a power supply problem is Occam's Razor: "Eliminate the Impossible, and...

Reply to DellComputerUser: Agree with you about ME, but, seeing as how this is a "Win95/98 Forum", I was referring to Win95/98 - IMHO, WinME is the worst thing Gates has done for quite a while...

Hi... I've noticed a lot of users are unaware of a very easy and safe solution to a multitude of Windows problems - just re-install Windows! Layering Windows on top of itself (by inserting your Windows CD and clicking 'Setup') gives you a fresh install, without the hassle of formatting your...

Hi... You might try a Google search for DirectX uninstallers - there was one named DirectXUninst, but I think it only worked for Win95 - there may be newer versions available... Also - don't understand why you can't reinstall Windows - in BIOS, change your boot sequence to CDRom as the first...

Hi... First thing to try is: open Display Properties (right-click on any empty portion of your desktop), click on Settings, then Alt-D will open the "Advanced" dialog, where you should be able to change your resolution...if this doesn't work, re-post the results and we'll try...

Hi... Perused all of your questions / answers, and it seems everyone forgets about the simplest solution - just re-install Windows! I re-install constantly, because I test a lot of free programs, and one invariably causes a mess...I just layer Win98SE on top of itself, and have never had any...
