@LLXX i tried to find a relevant package with m$, and came up with this one m$ link . i installed it, but it made no difference, thanks for the suggestion

i've found with all the laptops i've had, that the batteries have a life time of between one and two years. my present laptop, which i've used on mains power most of the time, is doing the same thing after two years...i'm sure it's your battery and not your laptop

thanks for the replies @cluberti it seems the itss.dll and itircl.dll are missing from my system... @TAIN i tried the xCHM you suggested, and i can now, at least manually, open the .chm files. thank you. this will work until i get around to digging out my XP disk and trying to repair.

if i try to open any Help file from within program i get the following error: "there was a problem starting help" if i try to manually start the .chm file by double-clicking it i get the following error "Cannot open the file mk:@MSITStore:c:\program files\whatever the application is\nameofhelpfile.chm" i have checked the registry entries (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.chm key is "chm.file" and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\chm.file\shell\open\command is set to HH.exe) i've made sure it's registered properly (regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx) i have XP Home, SP2 and it used to work, but just not for a while does any one any ideas? thanks

how did you burn the CD? you can't just burn the Photoshop directory from a PC onto a CD...

here's a list of the extensions i have installed: my favourties are All-in-One Gestures- mouse gestures just make life so much easier Tab Mix Plus though all of them go together to ensure i maximise my browsing experience...i couldn't live happily without any of them

another way to take a snapshot is to move the current time indicator to the frame you want in the timeline, then File/Export/Frame (Ctrl-Shift-M) i'm not sure about your second question, but it should be possible to use motion and scale to zoom in/out on the exported frame..just set it's duration to however many seconds you wish for and use keyframes with motion and scale to zoom around

once you have firefox setup the way you want it, with all the extensions installed, you can then backup firefox using a free prog called Mozbackup link . you can then use the backup created to re-install firefox with all the extensions already installed. when using the program, it doesn't backup the extensions by default, and gives a warning about some problems with backing up some extensions, but i have 20+ installed and it backups and restores them all with no problems

are you unplugging your drives using the 'safely remove hardware', or just pulling out the usb cable? you could always run Process Explorer (link) and search for F: to see if any process is holding on to your drive

for me, adobe premier pro 2 is a fantastic video editor... quotes from the Adobe Premier Pro 2 FAQs hope this helps

you can use an extension to firefox called Menu Editor which lets you completely customise the menus and their options...it even lets you edit the right click context sensitive menus..a very cool extension Menu Editor link hope this helps

yes but unfortunately there is a small but significant chance that the world will naturally come to an end before my uploads finish at a max of 12kb/s i love living where i do because it is where it is, but from a tech point of view, i'm in the dark ages here..this island is called 'the nature island', and it is beautiful, but i'm constantly amazed i even have electricity most days, let alone my wireless connection to the internet (unprotected, of course, as no-one has a computer within five miles of me) etc etc... i will cross my fingers that it holds out a few more months and see if i can get another 300GB disk somehow, then transfer the data, re-format and see how it goes... another, probably very silly, thought occured to me...could i do a 'quick format' then recover the data on the disk after, using data recovery tools? i found some software from Runtime Software called GetDataBack for NTFS...any ideas about whether this is any good? again, thanks for the input LLXX and oioldman

@oioldman yes, i'm using most of it all up...i take alot of underwater DV, and use the disks to store the footage....takes up alot of space, approx 13GB of space for every hour of video (uncompressed AVI, which it needs to be)....looks like i may have to stop using that disk until i can get another....bummer does the error suggest that the disk may fail at any time? thanks for the suggestions

yes, my problem is that's it's a 300GB drive attached to my laptop...i live on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere, and there just isn't another 300GB drive available ... there is also no way to buy a drive on-line, and get it here soon, without paying huge amounts of freight and then customs... i was rather hoping there was a 'better' tool than chkdsk to attempt to repair the disk, if that's what it needs...as i said earlier, i can use the drive as normal, but i am concerned that it might crash completely...

hello, i have a 300GB external firewire drive attached to my laptop...i've had it a while, and it's worked mostly ok...i using Windows XP Home, SP2 when running chkdsk /f g: from the command prompt i'm getting the following error : The typr of the file system is NTFS. Volume label is phat git CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)... File verification completed. Correcting cross-link for file 8. An unspecified error occurred. then the command prompt returns... i get the same error message when running chkdsk on this drive on startup.. i can access the data on the disk, but i am rather concerned about this error...does anyone have any advice on how i can troubleshoot this further, or fix it? thank you

why not just install Mozilla Thunderbird and forget about OE? i much prefer it as a email client and it has built in junk mail filtering Thunderbird is free

sorry, that was a bit of a generalisation. i used IE for many years until a friend introduced me to, about three years ago, firefox. at first i was a little sceptical, but after using it for a day or so i really thought that it loaded pages faster...then i discovered the extensions and i never looked back....and on top of that, i stopped getting spyware, annoying popups etc recently i did try Opera for a while, when it became free...i like to try software, especially software that alot of people say is good...Opera was good, but the extensions just don't measure up to the huge amount available to firefox users (not to mention greasemonkey, mozbackup etc)...i have a reasonably powerful system, lots of ram, i don't mind that firefox uses a fair bit, and firefox does exactly what I want it to do...i wouldn't like to get into a discussion about whether Opera or Firefox was better...suffice it say say that both of them, for me, are better than IE...and for me Firefox works better than Opera.....each to his own... The Firefox Myths website, however, is full of biased s&!t and should not be used by IE users to justify why IE is 'better'...yes, some of the statements in the Nanobox link are bold, but nothing that compares to the unfounded ones in 'Firefox Myths'

If you have read the Firefox myths website, you should read the following link, which gives the 'other' view, i.e. that IE is not the best browser (which all firefox users know). It answers all the points raised in the incredibly biased 'Firefox myths' website Nanobox Link there are at least two sides to every argument
