After Burning a number of files to a CD I find that the capacity has been reached. I write to inquire about the remaining files. Is there a way to use the operating system to 'compare' what has been copied and highlight what remains to be copied. Similarly, Is there some way to 'span' the files over a number of CDs through though XP professiona? Much thanks for any guidance

I'm having trouble connection to the internet from my laptop (running vista). I am connecting through a cable modem (no router). The modem is working correctly. I can access the internet through my desktop (running xp) and playstation. I've tried everything I can think of (I've disabled then enabled the local area connection). I've run diagnostics-- shut down and reset the modem--- rebooted the computer-- removed freeware that I installed that may cause an incompatibility problem. When I reboot I only have local access only-- if I configure my LAN it says the device is working properly (Broadcom 802.1 1b/g WLAN). When I try to repair the connection-- i rec…

All the sudden I get this message when trying to right click and drag a file to a directory on our network: Do you want to move or copy files from this zone? And it has the words Internet Explorer in the upper left hand corner of the dialouge box. Typically when I right click and drag a file to a directory, it gives me the option to copy or cut and so forth...And this is only happening on network drives. It works normally on my local drive. Did I set something that is causing this now? I've rebooted the machine. I'm running XP Pro SP3. I installed SP3 a couple of weeks ago and didn't have this problem then. Just started today. Thanks, Greg

Hi With XP, and I THINK when first using Vista, when I downloaded files I used to be prompted through a dialogue box for where I wanted to download to. I would usually choose C:\forcopy, and that would be there in the dialogue as the default, unless I had changed it the last time, in which case the last used location would be there as the default - BUT, I was ALWAYS asked. Now however, I don't get asked - when I want to download something, I'm not asked it just goes to the "downloads" folder in my user folders. In my registry, the Internet Explorer folder has (Default) REG_SZ (value not set) Download directory REG_SZ (C:\forcopy) How can I get…

Hi, Vista Business with SP1 Brand New Dell Latitude D531 with Dual Core Turion CPU and 4GB RAM Computer domain client under Win2003SP2 R2 domain controllers When opening the home folder in Explorer a few of its folders display immediately but folders with many subfolders or files takes several seconds to open and display. This is very annoying and it does not seem that Vista caches this information as it takes the equal amount of time when I do the same operation seconds later. XP does this immediately for the same user account. We have applied all the 'well known' netsh settings suggested as cures, but to no avail. Note that we are already runni…

Hi, I got source code (using winverifytrust API ) which detects whether the given file is signed or not. source code link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa382384.aspx I created an exe with that code and tested I faced one issue when I pass the "C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll" it is showing that this file is not signed. If I check the same file using "sigverif" ieframe.dll is signed. Please can any tell me what might be the reason for the above. I am trying to implement the SIgnedCode class in VC++ (MFC or Win32) I did not get any information on this in the web. Please can any suggest me how to proceed. Thanks, Manjunath.M
