No, pressing the CTRL button with the T key in Firefox opens up another tab within the same window ("tabbed browsing").
So you can surf to a different site in each tab, but all within one window.
(I've found XP to crash a lot less than 98SE)
Master of the obvious here, but what I've found is the more system resources you have the happier you'll be with any Windows product.For example I have one system with a Pentium 3 500mz and 256 megs of ram. This system will run XP but it's slow and somewhat unstable but running 98 SE it's rock solid stable and quite fast.
What kind of business are you in that can be moved to Juarez? I wasn't really too impressed with it.
Hardware/Software support desk for Delphi Automotive.
Ahhhhh. IC
THANKS.
will try that.
BTW, I get the blue screen of death still with XP-P every 5-12 days or so. Supposedly due to a driver. Not sure how to find out what driver. And, can't find any updates for any of my drivers--supposedly all are updated--have tried going down that option as well as I know how. Realllll annoying when I've just typed a long doc!
Any suggestions? And, I usually wait for the 99 sectors to be copied. I assume that's better, right!?
By which they mean better default security settings. I've been testing SP2 internally here for months, and there are a "multitude of issues" which are all positive things for the average user. The OS is made more secure, it's harder to do stupid things that leave you vulnerable etc...
For some corporate customers, these things will be issues that need to be addressed.
Personally, I think this is the most important OS upgrade/Service Pack that we have ever released...
Thanks....we have a hard wired firewall, so I wonder what good this would do....(I'm not a computer geek, as you can tell.)
>>The download does a number of things, the main one the user will notice is that it enables the included firewall in XP.
Not if you're running ZoneAlarm. SP2 sees it, and leaves XP's new firewall stuff turned off.
>>Before you install SP2, set a safe point in system restore. If you don't like it, you can resore your system to pre SP2.
The install does that for you.
Go ahead. I put off getting/upgrading to XP for a while, fearing problems versus Win98, but when I finally took the plunge, I was sorry I hadn't done it a lot sooner. XP is by far the most stable, solid operating system Microsoft has ever made.
go to the control panel, performance and maintenance, system, automatic updates tab. Make sure you just have it set to notify you when you can update without downloading/installing by itself or turn automatic updates off completely.
I was freaking out a bit about this becasue we have to install updates before we are allowed on the computer network at college. Sp2 comes out two weeks after we move in, so I was worried they would force us to install it. Luckily, they said no.
I have not heard many major problems with it, but I want to wait and see before installing something which may severely damage my computer due to software that is not compatible.
I will want to download software updates that will make anything which isn't compatible compatible.
Firefox is a lot faster to. I am just blown away at how much faster pages load.
I believe Symantec has an update to fix that....check their site.
