http://pub7.ezboard.com/f37211pcusersgroupproblemsandsolutions
The below two problems have been posted in the 37211 EZ-board Problems and Solutions forum:
- I have a problem with Windows Explorer. I am currently using Win98SE. I open Explorer and all appears normal, but as I move deeper into the sub-directories, the opening of each become slower and slower in displaying all of the folders and files. Also, when I click on a folder to open, it is high lighted in blue, then while the hour glass is up, it will re-high light the folder I just came from, and a couple of seconds later it will switch back to the one I selected and finally open up. Any ideas or fixes to this anomaly?
- Is there a little known utility out there that can run behind (just about) any software program that can do auto save (without having to save manually). Either on a auto timed backup or when you close a program, again without doing it manually, (DO WANT TO SAVE THE CHANGES YOU MADE TO...?) into a pre-designated folder/drive. FileMakerPro 5 questions the user at the opening of a new database where one would like to save it to and does it automatically, continously. I'm searching for a utility that will work on it's own.
