| 145038 | 2003-05-17 06:48:00 | Hi there people, Been a while since I was last here, but need a little help on an annoying problem. I think I have described it propaly, geez my spelling is bad, sorry bout that. When I hoover the mouse over a icon on the taskbar a popup would appear, telling me what the program was. Or when I click on Start/Programs the menu would pop out side ways with the other programs showing. Now that does not work any more. Have tried to to a system restore, no good, it probaly is a simple little thing, but. Trouble is it was working the other day now it's not and for the life of me I don't know what I done, if anything. Its damn annoying. Does system restore ever work propally. Thanks for any help. cheers for now carol ;-) |

| 145044 | 2003-05-17 12:47:00 | pffft. Who needs system restore :P. It's one of the first things I disable when I install Windows along with disabling the auto-updates. I just make a point of either not screwing up my OS and I make sure I have back ups when I think I might screw it up. "*goes off to reformat for the hell of it*" |
