Out of the box file browse worked fine. Now nothing happens when I click file browse. Can’t find any preferences that would affect this. Resource should not be an issue, I have 3Gig processor and 1 Gig memory.
Any help appreciated. Oh, reinstalling did not help.
Sorry, but this sounded kind of like Goldilocks and the Three Bears: "Mine’s behind the Toolbar; mine’s at the bottom of the screen; and mine is just right." 🙂
Beth – Glad yours works, but the question is why do Lorace, Chuck and I have the problem, and you don’t?
By the way, using a combination of both techniques above, I found the browse window. I am a beginner, and I never knew the task bar at the left even existed [it was so far to the left it was not visible] until I read the response from Lorace.
My File Browser keeps crawling off the bottom of the screen, too…
I haven’t found any specific cause (i.e. "heavy" editing session, long interval between uses), so just think of it as a mildly-annoying, yet endearing, quirk of an otherwise predictable app.

Dick, I’ve found the crashes in XP to be much fewer and farther between, but they’re more of the stealth variety; had one a couple days ago where I wasn’t even touching the keyboard…
Jodi, do you leave well enough alone on your PC? Somehow or another I just can’t seem to. It’s so clogged up I’m always amazed anything works.
Chuck — yes XP is far more stable than 98 ever was, at least for me. I do however tend to get program lockups but I think that is because there isn’t enough headroom on this PC. But it’s like a garage or a basement, don’t ‘ya know, the more room the more stuff!
These crashes often occured when XP is installed over a previous Windows version. Cure: reinstall from scratch 🙁

I agree totally with you. My friend wants to buy me a new Palm (handheld device) for Christmas. Mine is showing sign of advanced wearing and I can’t turn it on from the first press on the power switch. But having to reconfigure every piece of software that I have for it made me say "Please, don’t do that to me, I’ve been a good boy..!" Although color and increase memory is tempting, the headaches associated with the reconfiguration is just too much.
I had heard a lot about problems doing an upgarde from 98 to XP. So, I solved that one, went out, bought a new harddrive, installed XP from scratch on that drive and then made it the boot drive. I bought a switch from Tiger Direct that lets me choose which drive I want to boot from. Tho, I haven’t booted it in 98 for many months.

EDIT: Chuck, is that a documented problem with the Palm Zire? I was considering getting one but…..
Dick, I don’t know – I’m more inclined to blame my overlay installation of XP and some old Palm software that behaves strangely on the 71. I probably should look at the Palm website, huh? The built-in camera is a toy, by the way – not worth whatever it adds to the price of the PDA. Good conversation piece, though…
Dick, not sure what I’m doing right but I’m like this with everything I own…I baby things. I don’t open more than one app at a time and I houseclean on a regular basis. Running 1.5ghz 60GB HD P4 with 896 DRam XP Home. Compaq Presario
Hey, Dick! Tell me more about that switch, please! I’ve been running two drives/two systems for over a year now. When the computer is already booted, swapping is easy, but when the computer is shut down I have to boot on the last drive used first and then switch to the other one. Do you suppose that gizmo you’ve got would work on a Mac, and would it let me select a boot drive from "cold"?
I don’t know why it wouldn’t work on a MAC. Seems to me to be simply a switch. There was no software with it at all. It has a twin cable that plugs into the jumper block on each drive. When the switch is one way it boots from disk "a" and from disk "b" in the other.
I found it in the Tiger Direct printed catalog last year and then found it on line as well. To be sure about the MAC you’d have to call them. The actual device fits into a 3 1/2 inch drive bay, don’t know how that is done on a MAC.
That doesn’t work on mine, probably because they both run from an IDE controller card instead of off the mobo. Which means, after I thought about it more, that a switch may not do the job either.
