  1. ...the results will be the same. the file will be deleted.
    ...Files are being... deleted?

    First when i'm trying to save an edited version of a word document, the dialog box of 'file permission bla bla bla' will be prompted into the screen, then when i open up browsing the usb flash drive, the file is gone.

    then something weird happen, i open up the 'affected' flash drive on my winxp, a tmp file existed, renaming that file to *.doc and i'll have the original file back. hmm...

  2. Thanks for replying.

    I did some googling and found out about this : http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/.../05/108205.aspx

    its seem that if i want to format the usb flash drive to NTFS (using win xp), the quick removal feature must be disabled first right ? is this true for win vista too ?

    and i also found out that, if i did that, i'll no longer have the feature to quick remove the usb flash drive anymore.. is this true ?

  3. Well, I'm asking this question on behalf of my friend. He's using Windows Vista Ultimate and MS Office Word 2003. (I'm on XPSP2 anyway, don't have that luxury to upgrade anytime soon..)

    The problem was that my friend has this one word document in his usb flash drive. After he has done some editing with his word document and try to save it, the error messages "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error" prompted into his screen. He soon discovered that the file was deleted from the flash drive whenever he try to save the file directly to flash drive.

    He also tried to duplicate the scenario and he got the same problem over and over again. His word documents keep on disappearing or deleted for that 'file permission error' reason.

    The only workaround that i've found for this problem was, do the editing in the harddrive first and then 'move-and-paste' the file to the thumbdrive afterward. Now, this somehow works for him.

    There is no other security related apps installed in his machine beside Avast! Antivirus Home Edition.

    Any ideas ?

  4. My laptop got this weird problem. Whenever i start my laptop (WinXP OS btw), the desktop icons and the start menu won't show up as always.

    Everytime that happens, i have to kill the explorer.exe process and start it over again (Task Manager > End Process Explorer.exe > New Task Explorer.exe) and only then the desktop icons and start menu appears.

    I've already scan my computer for any infection regarding malware, but nothing came up.

    Any solutions is highly appreciate..

  5. Well, one of my staff's computer at the office has this weird problem. We found out that, somehow we can't open My Computers, My Documents, Control Panel and to make it short, we cannot open any folders at all.

    I've scanned the computer with SpyBot, Ad-aware, Symantec AV 10, About:Blaster and Spyware Doctor, but it seem that the problem still persists.

    Whenever we double click or right-click>'open' on any of the folders, we can only see a few second of hourglass and then no response or whatsoever from the system. It just went completely.. errr.. nothing. Please help us.

    Oh, i've googled the forum and unfortunately, found nothing that might be relevant to my case.

  6. check out the "review date"

    Yes, the review date is January 26,2006.

    The first wave of this non-genuine notification took place in Norway and Sweden. And as only today the 26 of April, the second wave took place in all five countries stated in the articles i posted earlier which is the US, New Zealand, Britain, Australia and my country, Malaysia.

    EDIT : The review date has change to April 26,2006 as we speak.

    I'm more concerned about what Microsoft knows about its users

    Yup :}

  7. "heard a click from the Hard Drive"

    dude, you need to backup your hdd as soon as possible. there is a possible physical damage to your hdd.

    backup and check for bad sectors or hdd errors that might affected your windows.

    yes, i agreed; use BartPE to investigate and backup as much data as you can.

  8. try this. i dunno if this help btw.

    1)open task manager.

    2)end the process named "explorer.exe"

    3)then, the task manager again, click the File > New Task (Run...)

    4)key in "explorer.exe" without the quote

    the taskbar should be restarted by doing this. unstable taskbar often leads to this sort of problem.
