I can right click on the E:/ and go into properties and Tools and ruhj the fix the icon is then returned but when I come of the page and then go back to it it reverts back to the stupid little webpage thingy. please help as it is **** annoying cheers LLoyd
Maybe Vista is sharing your "E" drive as webpage drive? You know. The web service my M$. It is possible to disable the service, just as on XP?
follow up to your reply Hiya trodas thanks for reply can you tell me how to disable this as you said in your reply. again thank you lmortiss
follow up to your reply Hello trodas your sent mw services webpage but which one do I delete I am rather confused cheers lmortiss
Okay, try looking for one that says something like "Web client". I'm sort of unsure there, because I have Czech windows and also Win2k or XP on folding machines. Not and never Vista, so I would quess you have to search a bit there. You can't damage your system by disabling service. Bot delete, you can only set it to start automatically each boot time, then to start manual (preferable) - when need/asked and then you can choose the disable / forbid starting. That is just like it says - the service cannot start. That it is. No delete
follow on Hi trodas thanks for useful information but BT my ISP as solved it for me sometimes when another person uses your PC/ they sometimes connect to the internet thro a webpage and forget to cancel the connection the culprit my son left a notepad intro on his drive E: and of course it was causing conflict all we had to do was to delete it and al is working fine now again thanks for all you time and trouble. your a star cheers lmortiss
You have to reformat the drive first before your os(vista) can recognized or make an icon for your drive....if you go to the driver manager,you can see that its there but when you go to my computer,theres no icon...this happend to me so i just reformat and wala!..the icon of the drive appeared.Hope this helps.
