not much but fighting with these damn machines like you...been fught with a repair fix for my new printer that came in on friday...aand still couldnt beleive that that damn fix patch wouldnt take....a hp 1600 all in one and the damn thing came from new egg witha bad ink cartridge.....atleast cwill say this much Hp does stand behind there products..as they are shipping me four new ink cartridges to try and make up for the inconveince...
well dont know what to say as i do like my norton,,,,hehehe..but i got the full system package.....and use the hell out of my clean sweep....its an over write program ...you understand when you just delete ...all you really did was get rid of the pathway...and not the file itsself....and so far haven't found a file that norton clean sweep woul't overwrite.....or get rid of...let me guess that file your talking about just happens to be what... batman begins or maybe wedding crashers....?? had o couple of them that wouldnt open at all and wouldnt let me go into them and rename the file....as was being accessed by something else...when i get a file that wont play i rename it ,,,original name plus add either delete or wont open for me...then keep the file till i find one that does open or play...that way i dont Dl the same file again..
just a sugestion on explorer...sounds like you may have something in you explorer chache...or an add on running wild...try openning your mannange pluggins and see what all exploere has loaded..top tool bar ...tools and mannange add ons and see what all is loaded to run when you open explorer....try disableing some of them and see what happens....
glad your back kind of messed you....

I also just subscibed to this forum because my Limewire PRO 4.9.3.7 is constantly disconnecting after 10-20 mins. I am on Win XP by the way. Running web radio, iTunes or Windows Media Player with music has not helped it keeps on happeneing. I have even emailed support team for LW Pro and have not yet been contacted.

How many fire walls you useing....are you set to allow lime to run through them.... Nyself i only have norton AV and worm running,,,turned windows fire wall of many months ago...but check to make sure once in while windows doesnt try to be the one running my system and turn it back on...as it will first chance yit gets oryou have installed any fixes or patchs from micro..or upgraded your explorer.....

Hi there guys,
So glad to hear from you!
Hopper, I have LW off when I try to delete, because I don't want anyone trying to upload that file. And you're right, it's a batty file. But it won't let me rename it either, so I can't warn people off. I've tried to drag it out of my shared files, but it only makes another copy on my desktop. So frustrating. LW has never let me rename or delete from its library though it acts like it will. I go to the file through Win Explorer to delete or rename.
I have a Lexmark 4 in 1 printer and it works like a charm. I don't know much about HP, but four new black cartridges for free is not a bad deal!
I was sorry to hear that the workaround, having iTunes on 24/7, failed. But don't give up, IMHSN, try to find another program that will wake up the system regularly. Or maybe schedule a task, for every 15 minutes or so, anything that will cause your system to fire up.
I've never had anything but Norton for my firewall and virus scanner, but their file ccApp would not delete and really latched onto the memory. I'm always checking to make certain that the Window's firewall and scanner are off.
It was always a fight between ccApp and Windows Explorer, to see who got the cpu usage. Now if I could just keep Verizon's software from replicating svchost so I don't have six or more little 14 K executables running for no good reason, other than it might be a virus that's too new or too disguised for any of the virus scanners to catch. So far I've only run Norton's, Zone Alarm's and HouseCall. They all say my system is clean as a whistle, but it can't be. Too many little glitches happening.
I don't have the expertise to track down a virus myself. Since I'm heading to Baja this Thursday and coming back on Monday next. I'm debating on whether to take my system into Best Buy and have them give it try. It may take a new harddrive and a fresh Windows XP install. But I need my old files, so they could end up putting the virus right back on the new harddrive, if that truly is what I've got. Sigh.
Well, I bought a new computer desk, but I have to put it together, so I'm going to go play with that for awhile. I'll turn on LW and see what happens.
Bye for now!

Hello grandma....
not sure what to say,,,I take it you don't have the clean sweep on your norton then.....???? bring up the system works....then utilities ...then system maintaince.....then clean sweep....browse on the bottom right....find your file or folder...then open and then wipe.....check it out and if its not installed ....you might put your norton disk bac in and check and see if you got it....most people don;t even know it is there....and as long as you install norton the typcial way you dont get it ,,,,but do a custom install then you do.....that is if you got the norton system works package....then you got clean sweep ...you just got to install and do a custom install....doing that you get a lot of extras you wouldnt have other wise....
did you ever check out that CClean ...you might try it and see what it might find....

http://www.ccleaner.com/

then couple guys over at after dawn swears by this for virus...you might want to turn norton off and install and just run it and see if it comes up with anything...you can always uninstall it after you run it .....something else do you have live update turned on with your norton.....???

Life is just full of disappointments, isn't it? My latest was finding out the 3 year parts and labor service plan with Best Buy that I got for this computer doesn't in any way cover software. Not even Windows. I'll run the CClean, Hopper, and hope for the best, but this runs so deep, it may only be fixed by a complete wipe of Windows. Saving my files will cost more than the wipe and reinstall of Windows XP. Sigh. Best Buy is open till 10 tonight, so I'll take it in about 9:30. It'll be like leaving an arm or a leg with the Geek Squad.
At work the IT people ghost everyone's systems, copying whole Window's installs with every program the techs need to do their job. I just worry that if I have Window's reinstalled, then put all my stuff back on it, if this is a virus, I'll be right back where I started.
Hopper, I had already uninstalled Norton and installed Zone Alarm, when I last wrote. The software has a lot of people praising it to the heavens. I didn't get System Works when I got Norton Internet Security w/antivirus 2005. I had it on my 98 SE computer and it trashed it. I'd had no trouble whatsoever until I ran Norton's defrag. After that poor old 98 wanted to scan disk at every boot up, and kept coming up in safe mode. I ended up getting another harddrive, since the old one now had bad sectors all over the place. It probably wasn't Norton's fault, but you know who hard it is not to associate bad experiences with what came just before.
But the price shouldn't be too bad and I'll be so glad to have a system that works again. Of course, I'm still drooling all over the new computers. There's one that cost about the same as this one, $599 (after $600 in rebates, and I got every cent back) which has a gig of DDRAM, 200 gig harddrive, and 3600 AMD processor. Mine is 2600. It also comes with the new Windows Media Center. I just cannot justify buying one now, but oh how it tempts me.
imhsn, you're getting all the issues now that we've been fighting. I forgot to tell you that I wrote the LW Pro support about a month ago now and they never responded. That doesn't mean they won't respond to your queries, of course, but I don't want you to get your hopes too high. I had Pro from the beginning and it ran wonderfully until I upgraded to 30. But I've noticed LW is sitting at "excellent" connection when I leave the computer for a while, which isn't so bad. What was bad today was that it had disconnected while out I running errands. I've been trying to get a copy of a rather large file now for three days and it's just now hit 73%. I may lose all that if Best Buy has to get drastic.
Well, I need to finish packing for my trip and I want to check out the two links Hopper sent me, too. So I'll say goodnight from Santa Maria and wish you all a great week and an even better weekend. Talk to you next Monday, if my computer is back from the shop by then.
