No idea what the windows items were, there was nothing to be seen in the recycle bin. My guess is they were hidden files but I have no idea how they got there. More importantly right now is that I have just experienced another problem occuring. Everything seemed to be working perfectly, but I just went to erase a CD. It got to 5sec remaining and it stayed at that. After some while, all else Failing, I pressed eject to remove the CD. However windows still appears to be using the wizard and will not allow it to be used. Going to see what happens when I shut down, though that will not be for awhile because of a download I'm in the middle of.
Wizard seems to have cleared itself and is working fine now. Crazy computer or what. This post has been edited by 1up2down: Aug 27 2004, 05:49 PM |

To see your hidden files in XP:
My Computer / Tools / Folder Options / View / in the Advanced Settings box, under Hidden Files and Folders, check "Show hidden files and folders" / Apply / OK -------------------- |

OK just have to adjust my mental watch. My guess is that it's the middle of the day there because it's nearly 4-30 am here. Been up all night again, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I can identify with the zzzzzzzz, 1up2down
 The timeline of what I'm doing should back me up on that. See:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ind...showtopic=2185# As encouragement to your effort I'll add, Keep Re-booting... sometimes the system will correct itself after a few. (my non-technical advice is based on having seen many inconsistancies over a period of time through 7 installs) Although the parallels are not exact, perhaps, the point of my "experimental" post (above link) is to offer a detailed look at what can happen with the OS & it's updates being installed and the user (me) not being a pro like some of the folks here are.  Hang in there !

Yep I know. The time over there is above each posting but my brains elsewhere at this time of the morning if I stay on the PC all night. Still what choice do I have when you lot have all the answers.
Reckon I ought to get a little sleep now. 2 hours at least. So I'll say good morning to the world outside and good night to the rest of you. bye for now. This post has been edited by 1up2down: Aug 27 2004, 11:22 PM |

Thanks very much Cowsgonemad. Thats a very handy link you gave me. But I am puzzled why it was that when I originally got Google to search for a translator, it did'nt come up with that one. Like I said, it is very handy because it translates a whole web page at a time. Will definitely give it a try very soon. Thought everyone had given up this topic as there had been no more postings on it for some while, so got to chatting to Phawgg by email instead. He's been quite helpful too, and as I said to him, I am extremely grateful to all you chaps who take the time out to help others like myself. Oh and before I get in deep trouble here, I will add that when I say chaps, I do mean females as well as males. Some of us older English, still use the old words like that. Thanks again, Tony.
