My outlook express when compacting files, keeps giving me an error "could not proceed because this folder is in use by outlook or another application." My inbox is huge and got 10,000 messages so I need to compact it to retrieve messages from months ago. Otherwise when I use Find and it finds...

I've recently reinstalled XP Pro on my Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop and then downloaded all the drivers from Dell CD. For some odd reason, the letters and words in the MS-Word or Palm Desktop are fainter than they used to be (gray as opposed to black). While desktop appears perfect as are names of...

If I shut down and close the cover of my laptop, sometimes it fully shuts down and other times, the light keeps flashing, and when I then open the cover, it completes the shut-down process. Is this a problem with laptop or windows? Thanks.

I was dumb enough to upgrade to 7.0 when windows asked me. But I really hate it and want to go back to 6.0. I tried to go to add/remove, but I don't see the Internet Explorer to remove (it's just not there). How can I downgrade IE to 6.0? Thanks.

Sometimes, smth happens and my wireless mouse starts scrolling very slowly and I have to click 5 times on smth to open or close. I tried to change batteries, restart the system, nothing helped. The mouse works great otherwise. What's the problem and how to fix it? Thanks.

I have all my files listing the program with which it opens, say, an image file "cats" says "cats.jpg" and as a result, I have to always type in the program after the dot. Is there a way to just have a file name without needing to indicate the program - every time I change the name, it tells me...

Ever since I installed the newest security patch from MS, I cannot access certain sites that I could before the patch. Like I can't access my university library loan system. And I can access this from other computers. What can I do to fix this? Thanks. DN

I have an educational program that I ran just fine until one day when I double-clicked the link and I've got an error Java virtual machine launcher: Could not find the main class. The program will exit. What's the problem? Should I restore the system or reinstall the program? Thanks.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for my posting. Please, tell me which one I should post it in. I downloaded an .iso file which has several e-texts that supposedly can be installed to PalmOS (and viewed by the iSilo program). How do I open this file? I tried IsoBuster which extracted it as...

I recently upgraded from 2000 to XP Pro and everything was going well for a couple of months until my folders started to display items in a random order. Every time I right click anywhere inside the folder and click on Arrange by Name, it sorts the files correctly by name but only until I close...

I have only one user account (mine i.e. administrator) and when I boot and the welcome screen comes up - for some reason the line where I input my password does not come up by itself and I have to click on it for it to appear. I know I need to do this when there are 2 or more accounts but with...

How can I place objects on the desktop in XP according to my needs as opposed to the preset system slots? For instance, when I move my winzip shortcut on the desktop, I don't want to only be able to place it into another slot preset by Windows 1 inch up, down, left or right. Why do I bother...

I'm trying to join a computer domain at the place where I work to create a local user account so that I could share the domain's resources such as store my files on our shared hard drive. However, I don't know how to do it in Win XP Home although in my previous computer with Win XP Pro, I could...

I recently bought a laptop that by description was supposed to have 30 GB hard disk but when I got it and went to Computer/C/Properties - it only lists 24.9 GB capacity with 18 GB available. Does Win XP take more than 5 GB of space? Why is it that the other almost 7 GB taken (I haven't installed...

I just bought a brand new Dell Inspiron 1150 and it's been working great. For some reason, there's that yellow download update sign on the right lower toolbar which stays forever without disappearing. Nothing happens when I double- or right-click on it. It only says "updates download 93%" when...
