I sure, search bar is not the correct name but I don't know what else to call it. When I connected to the internet, up until now, a bar appearead at the bottom of my screen that show when the file was downloading and when it was done downloading. It is no longer there. Can anyone tell me how I can get it back?

Thanks
Daphne

Depending on your browser, if it's Internet Explorer or Netscape, click on VIEW then make sure that STATUS BAR is checked. It happens to me all the time.

Good Luck,
John

power cord

on Apr 25, 2000

My firewall software documentation claims that your computer can be accessed directly through your power cord making firewall software ineffective. Does anyone know how a cpu's power cord can transmit data over its power cord to another computer. Does it require a special outlet, power cord, etc??? I always assumed the telphone line, or radio signals were the only way to transmit data. The power cord is news to meRead More

MISSING HARD DRIVE SPACE

on Jul 05, 2000

Here's one I need ideas on: While running the LiveUpdate function of Norton AV2000 a couple of days ago, a window popped up saying my disk was full, delete some files, etc, etc. The stumper is that there is NO WAY I have that much on the drive. I upgraded from a 2.5 gb drive (partitioned 2.0/.5) about 6 monthes ago to a 13.0 gb (partitioned roughly 7.0/6.0). Since then I've maybe installed 1 gb of new stuff. Well, the C: side of the partition (about 7.0 gb capacity) says 415 mb free! Whoa, I have 6 1/2 gb of files in there? No way! Have tried defragging, scanning for errors/viruses, diagnostics and nothing indicates why what should be maybe 3gb of files (estimated; haven't manually gone through directories adding up used space) seems to be taking up about double that space on the drive!!! Unfortunately I can't say if the problem has been there since installing the hard drive or if it's something new (going from 2.5 gb to 13.0 gb hadn't really paid attention to the free space because should have been tons - only noticed the glitch or whatever when the low drive space warning came up). ScanDisk says there's about 6.8 gb in about 30,000 user files. Here's the system info: AMD K6-2/500 on ALI motherboard (supports large drives and setup is correct) Windows 98 second edition WD 13.0 gb ultra ata66 hardrive voodoo3 agp video HELP!!!!!!! j.w.
