I'm afraid I shut off my PC after it refused to shut down after more than 3 hours. I suffered through a lot of corrupted files, but was finally able to get it to bootup and repair some of the damage that occurred. Now my only issues are; my D drive shows up in blue font in MY COMPUTER and the first two files on it are blue as well. Under properties of both C and D drives the defrag is not available. Under Device Manager D drive's properties DEVICE USAGE block is grayed out and can't be changed. Worst of all is that when I try to run the XP CD I get the message that the version of Windows on the PC is newer than the CD and all files will be erased. Another biggie …

Edit tags in Windows Explorer

I have a flash drive that I'm editing the MP3 tags using Windows Explorer(Windows XP Home edition w/SP2). Everything goes along well for awhile for a number of the files and then the popup window to edit the tag doesn't show anymore. Repeated attempts are to no avail. I then have to restart. But before Windows shuts down, the Edit tag window will appear but too late - shutdown and restart. Anyone have any ideas what's happening in Windows explorere.
