Hi,

I have 2 " documents"(same name) folders located in the same sub-directory. They are both located in C:\Documents and Settings\[user-name]\ directory. The duplicate folder gets automatically updated with the same file names when i add files to the original folder.It looks like a pointer for the original folder When I attempt to delete the duplicate directory. I get the following error message.

Cannot delete My Documents : It is being used by another person or program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.

Hi HG!

I've searched google with no avail so I thought I might ask in here! I found several websites saying different things, but none of them seem to be credible websites.

I've recently purchased a new hard drive to replace my C Drive. Instead of backing everything up from my old C Drive, installing the newly purchased drive and then restoring everything, I simply put the old C drive the secondary position, and the new drive in the primary position. This way I can install a fresh copy of Windows and still move all of the old files over as I please.

I have a Tiny computer on which I loaded XP Professional a while ago. Ages ago it started to run the "checking file system on C" on start up occaisonally for no particular reason that I could see. Now it does it all of the time and freezes at random percentage progress levels. I can only run this computer by skipping the check. Now it is getting worse and the system occaisonally crashes to a blue screen and physical memory dump. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello everyone! :)
I recently set up a Windows-based home video surveillance system and have it working perfectly (so far). I have an option in the software to send images to a free remote FTP server, just in case the video server itself was ever stolen the last images to arrive at the FTP server may help identify the offender. However, with the video server constantly sending images to the FTP server, eventually the alloted 250MB of disk space quickly runs out and no new images can be received.

I seem to have an enormous amount of programs listed in the control panel. Is there any way that I can get rid of some? I don't know what they do, or are for. How can I tell if they are vital to my system?

Hi.

My Windows Vista Ultimate has gone mad and recognises my hard disk space and file sizes as they were 100 or 1000 times larger or bigger.

I run windows xp and I was recently attempting to install the video game Neverwinter Nights 2. During installation, my computer shut off through a seperate issue that has since been fixed. Now the game is not installed properly and any attempts to uninstall give me a long error message followed by error code -5001. Since then the folder in program files has been deleted. Is there any way to uninstall this useless program from my computer? The fact that it is still there prevents me from trying to reinstall the game too.

Hi!

It has been some time now I'm noticing this problem. When I delete files with Windows Explorer, the dialog displaying the progress of deleting stays open even if the files are already deleted. This caused no major problem since now, but now I started using other tools that delete files and the tools halt (W.Explorer doesen't really halt, seems to be multithread).

Does anyone know what this is about? I noticed this problem on many computers so far.

Thanks!

Tonique

My Computer seems to clear the Run history i.e. every time I go to the Run menu it's memory is blank, as far as it is concerned I've never used it before. How do I stop this,i.e. how do i get it to remember what I've run before?
