I could not figure out how it happened. When I click Control Panel, I see Classic View.I am unable to switch to "Category View" because the left side panel disappeared. Please tell me how to recover the left side panel which allows me to choose between Classic/category view.

In windows 2000, explorer to the left of the folders view, their was a panel that would contain folder/file detail information. This was always displayed even when Folders view was selected to show the folder tree. In XP i can not figure how to get this panel or left side detail view to show. If I close the folders view then I get a left panel that has tasks/places/details tabs. The details tab contains what ai want for info but i also like to have the folders tree viewing also, but it does not display. When I click on folders viiew this window/panel/whatever witht the details in it disappears.

View 7 Replies View RelatedOn the left hand side of my desktop is a big blue bar. It is about 2 and a half inches wide ( from left to right) and goes from the top of my screen to the bottom where the start menu is.

Something has happened, and now I actually have to close everything on one user's side and log the user off to be able to get to my user account. Is there a way to get it back to being able to share the computer?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn the last few days, I installed a game I download from Downloads.com.During installation, this product installed SecuRom's copy-protection files to my C:Documents and Settings<User>Application Data folder,creating a folder there (SecuRomData).After uninstalling any downloaded games, and during a routine
inspection of the <User>Application, I noticed the SecuRom folder.Since I have never had any such folder after doing a fresh install of XP, I began to wonder what this was. So I attempted to delete the folder, after using JV16 powertools to search the Registry for any SecuRom entries, and removing them.
In a previous thread, XP was scanning on boot. I worked the problem to death, converted all partitions to NTFS, and we finally gave up. We formated 120G C: and re-partitioned...went from approx. three 40G parts to one 50G (C:) and remainder approx 65G (E:). This install was done yesterday, and this morning, on first boot, it froze at a black screen (desktop is black), with a solid drive action light. Re-boots do not evoke a scandisk, but give a good boot to the desktop. I've tried to view the error log, but it won't show any of those tools...."not found", sys info, etc.
