CHKDSK question by
MZB
I ran CHKDSK/F from the command line. I had to schedule it to run upon
reboot. I did that and it started running.
Anyway, I had other things to do so I left and came back in 4 hours and the
regular home screen was on.
I expected some kind of report but saw none.
Can I assume that all went well?

I tried booting into the Bios with F2 -
and the initial screen comes up -...

Xp Pro keeps dropping `off-line´ by
[email protected]
I've recently installed Xp Pro on a Dell 670 and it seems to drop
off-line after so many minutes of wide-area inactivity. There are
pop-up boxes that advise to "go online" or "try again" but not
sure if these are official Windows messages. Is this behavior
normal? If not, then now to remedy?

click problem by

wearing out of some

However, I have a new problem. The left click is getting difficult. By
that I mean the spot
just below the keypad (there is a left and right click, equivalent to
the left and right click
on a mouse)....

We have cable tV (with HBO/Cinemax), internet, and phone. Our cost with our
current ISP is $108 (after all taxes).
