LaCie USB External HD Problem
I recently purchased the above product, but when I try to format it in
NTFS on my desktop (Windows XP SP2) I get the error, "The operation
did not complete because the partition or volume is not enabled. To
enable the partition or volume, restart the computer." It still
doesn't work when I restart the computer. It DOES work on my wife's
laptop, so I know the drive works.

can't see usb memory key
I have lost the ability to see my usb memory key when I am logged in under my
network ID. If I log into the machine only I can see it. I believe it may
have something to do with norton internet security. I have removed the
program but I still can not see the key. Is there something that could
affect one profile but not another?...

Quick Basic V4.5 in Windows XP home edition
When I run Microsoft Quick Basic V4.5 (a DOS application) from within Windows

Windows Task Manager - performance tab) and the fan runs almost continuously
in my Compaq Presario V2000 laptop. Any other open Windows applications are
EXTREMELY sluggish. Just shutting down Quick Basic returns CPU usage to the

Just when do you know when the computer is ready to work with after startup

Setting environment varibale with output from a program

Usable RAM
XP Pro, SP2
I have 4GB RAM. XP says not. I have read the Service Note that says why, but
that doesn't help much. I want to assign 2GB to Photoshop, however, PS says
that there is less than 2 available and suggest assigning no more than 1.232
Should I simply ignore this and assign 2 to PS? If not, how do I fix this?...

If I run the following script in a directory with two files named test1.txt &

Instead it has the value of "Test2.Txt;NOFILES". Can any one tell me why? Or
how to get it to work correctly?
