@Jools:
You could also try setting the bios for fail safe defaults, then setting the boot order with the CD-ROm first.
If it "freezes" try pressing the caps key to see if the computer has infact frozen or if its just old and slow  |

@cyco or anyone who knows, I have had a problem with my internet for about a week now, i have not changed any settings. Since a week ago i cannot connect to the esato website when i am at home... The page either doesnt load or i get the lil x boxes where all the pics or banners are.... But when im in work (like now) it works fine??? im puzzled, i had the same prob a few years back with another site and a windows reinstall solved the prob but i really want to avoid that at all costs as i dont have the time to do it...
Anyone shine any light on this lil bugger?
As ive said i have not chnaged any settings so it shoule be nothing to do with anything i could potentially manually change...
By the way im on NTL (i know theyre poo, but they are all i can have  )...
Thanks everyone!

Is it just esato or does it happen with other sites as well?
If you've already cleared the cache and it hasn't helped, you can try these two fixes:
Winsock fix: http://www.webattack.com/get/winsockxpfix.html
IEFix: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm

Looks exactly the same as my 'My Documents' folder! That's the default windows xp icon for the standard XP style theme, isn't it 
Windows sees it as a special shortcut, like 'My Computer' and the Recycle Bin and as such it gets it's own icon. Unlike ordinary shortcuts, I don't think you can change the icon for My Docs without using a registry hack or a XP theming application, but don't quote me on that
If you don't mind, P900, I'll take this oportunity to say my goodbyes. I'm off to Goa again for a month so take care all and I'll 'see' you all soon

I would say try and upgrade the RAM to 1GB if you want 2 be doing lots of multi-tasking and if ur going to be saving lots of dats 80GB might not be enought |
