I'm w/ Bman. 3 columns = sloppy. 1 'short' column = easy to navigate.

Get FireFox or Opera web browser(s)... they have built-in download managers that allow you do stop/start downloads.

I Googled "Windows was unable to save all the data for the file \Device\HarddiskVolume1\$Mft," and came up with a page full of results. I suggest you do the same (Google the error message) and read up on it... it's all pretty much in geek speak over my head. The gist of it, that I do...

Try launching Folder Crypto Password 2.0 and opening the archive from there. Hopefully it's just a problem with incorrect file association and something else is giving you the damaged archive message. If that 'Folder Crypto' program won't open what it encrypted I guess it gets a major thumbs...

Have you checked the bios to see if usb is enabled there?

This is what I do when I have a stubborn file/folder that Windows won't let go of for deletion. From Task Manager stop the service 'explorer.exe,' this will kill your shell. Then from the pull down menus run a new task (File> New Task (Run...)) and type in 'explorer' which will re-launch your...

Jump supernodes in Kazaa until you find all the users... started it w/ 72k users... jumped supernodes and found 2.8mil.

good advise Maveric169. I'd take it even further... reduce the computer to pieces... disassemble it completely, clean every piece with a damp rag and an old toothbrush in those hard to reach areas like fan blades. While you're at it inspect everything very well. I'd go as far as pulling the...

If we had more pc users like this, we'd have less pc users like this. ;)
