| 401747 | 2005-11-04 03:12:00 | Hi, :confused: In cleaning up any useless data- I see in "My Documents" a folder headed drivers. In that are three icons 1 HPdj516en self extractor: 2 sis530_vga 9X_106: 3 ESS solo1>ess_AP and win 31 inside seeing they are in "My Docs"- I assume they were stored there -in one case in 2002 Surely I can delete them ? I am now using XP and have long ceased to recognise the above- as I say probably put there in case I acxcidently deleted them elsewhere effie c |

| 401749 | 2005-11-04 03:45:00 | Thank you Phoenix, After so many years learning - I can panic very easily - laugh at my expense- I started out using an Amiga - just before the W386 came in - and I formatted the hardrive when I pressed the wrong button- and to make matters worse the miseable sods who taught me as school kids still rag me about it and at 73 years of age my confidence still takes a dive :badpc: :blush: effie c |

| 401752 | 2005-11-04 07:04:00 | Hi Susan, No luckily- the HP driver pertained to a 670C HP that packed a sad and in desperation I tracked down an Epsom C45,at $99 -only to find even that price at DSE was $68 a few weeks later :o And the other two files, now deleted also, went back year or so, so no harm done- certainly not as when I formatted the h/d on an Amiga, and it ate itself to death- hence my panic if I did similar- and those two brats ( now grown up) still give me a hard time- talk about the younger generation- in fact I have grandkids older now than they were when that happened-- talk about cheek :D Ed |
