Hi...this bizarre activity happens while I'm in any application.
I've got 512 meg RAM, run anti-keylogger and anti-spy/trojan software frequently, and use McAfee for anti virus.
I have a USB keyboard and a USB mouse daisy-chaining off the keyboard.
In an hour's time, I might experience...
Hi, bcastner:
I wrote another thank-you, but it didn't appear, so wanted to say that deleting temp files from IE6 was successful in releasing the download capability. I tried it on a 7 meg file that before would only download 1 meg before a stall.
Many thanks...I'll be trying the RWIN tweak...
Hi, bcastner:
Bingo! Your cache clean suggestion, via IE6 tools, re-enabled my downloads! Great work! I'm going to do the tweak of RWIN suggested by the web site also, but I feel progress has been made! I've been using the XP diskclean function but apparently it misses this directory...
Hi...I have FAT32 on two 80-gig drives, one of which I dedicate to Drive Image backups, which I do every other day. I've never had any messages about FAT32 so far, and I use other file-level backup software too, like BackupNow. I back these up to DVD.
DriveImage works like a charm for me...I...
Hi, Gurus:
To bcastner...no, I don't have Pc-illan, but use McAfee which seems to be more benign than Norton in my experience. Good idea to check though. Thanks.

Thanks for this info...seems that the content of these two MS KB articles is much the same. I alrealdy did the System...
Thanks...I've downloaded a MS Knowledge Base item called "How to Reinstall or Repair IE6 or Outlook Express in XP" and it gives a series of steps, including a registry edit to allow the reinstall. I was hoping something really simple that I missed might come up from this board that would make...
Hi...which disk cleaner were you using? A third party's or the XP utility you can invoke from "properties"?
I would guess there might be either a corrupt file, some viral activity, or imcompatible software if 3rd party. But you say you tried to delete from Explorer directly, so probably it's...
Hi, IE6 gurus!
A couple of weeks ago, suddenly I could not complete downloads of files using IE6. It would download the first few meg, then stall. The file types I was downloading were .exe, .avi and .mpg mostly. Often there was no "progress indicator" where normally one would show, but...
I'm a new user of XP Pro, about 4 months, and have a cable modem connection (Roadrunner) with ZoneAlarm firewall, and McAfee antivirus. I also use Ad-Aware and Spybot several times a week, always finding the same cookies and removing them. It seems that these datamining cookies return upon...
