So yah, this is a couple of problems that all of a sudden started plaguing me. Nothin changed at all, no new programs, downloads, nada, my comp just started doing this stuff.
1) Sometimes my D drive (the 160GB) bugs up when I try to open folders in it. This happens mostly when I open up my music folder (~350 songs, ~1.7GB) and the folder window will just freeze, I usually end up opening task manager to get my pointer back, x it out, the my taskbar vanishes, and then is reappears. When I try to open the folder again, everything works perfectly.
2) Microsoft Messenger all of a sudden starts running in the background for no reason whatsoever. I stopped it form doing so in all the options menus etc., and it still wont listen to me. I use it now and then to talk to people from other countries, but is there another program that'll work well and allow you to talk to people using MSN messenger w/o having all that running in the background crap? Cause I thought MS tried to stop people from using those programs with its recent upgrade :?: .
3) I can't search through google through my address bar anymore. This just happened one day. I thought something went wrong, so I went through the relax - righteousness guide again just to make sure (great guide btw). So, now I have to open up the search bar or go through google.com.
Well, thats all that I can think of right now, thx for any info/help, I really appreciate it. : peace2: Mista K6
P.S. Found one more thing: All of a sudden my speakers switch from 6.1 to 2.1, again, for no reason. All I have to do is go back into the creative speaker settings, but nevertheless, its annoying. Thx!
