Weird problem with W2k SP2
Sometimes when using Netscape, when I close a window, it physically closes, but it leaves a blank box on the taskbar that disappears when I click on it. None of my video cards want to work together, or at least not the way I want them to (faster card primary, cheap extra card as secondary).

All you Linux haters, read this!
Personally I consider the way the taskbar pops up to be bad design. I often see Windows users pop up the taskbar when they try to click on a control near the bottom of the ....

Firefox Frustration
In other words, when I start the computer everything boots correctly, and when the Login box appears, I login or click cancel to get to the desktop. the CD burner in my new computer makes CD's which won't play in my 4 year old Pioneer car stereo - anybody have any input on that and know a way to work around it?

Peeking behind a window for some info requires two mouse clicks in MacOS; click to windowshade, take note of the info, click to un-windowshade and that's it.

AmigaOS vs Windows98
Many games work best only on a 640 by 480 (old-style VGA) desktop, using only 256 colors. If you normally set your desktop to a higher resolution using high-color or true-color modes, you’ll be able to click an icon in the System Tray on the Taskbar to switch instantly to the older mode.

FAT32 over FAT16, yes you can
If its already unchecked, check it and then click Customize. Here you can change which icons hide and when. If this doesn't work, post back.

General Rant from a Linux Newbie
Because then I would have to keep track in my head if the computer were in a locked condition or not. Or I would have to look at systray (and I keep the taskbar hidden) And I'd have to remember to unlock it periodically. I've watched every program that I have authorized, and they all seem trustworthy to me.

Trying to stay connected.... (Cassiopeia E-100)
Almost all of my real work is done in the xterms, as are main and Usenet.
