Sony Vaio VGN-FE550G image?

danleff

Well, I violated my own policy. . . I agreed to look at this laptop for a co-worker's son. I usually only work on my family's systems. The system originally had Windows Media Center installed on it. The youngster decided that he wanted to put Windows XP on the system, so he truely wiped the hard drive clean.

I have a WinXP x64 computer with multiples shares on it, all my other computers are WinXP 32-bit. They used to be able to browse the shares on my computer just fine but I screwed something up in the Access Control section with TweakUI and I cant seem to fix it.

What's the name for the blinking line that locates where your typing? I can't see it in word and some other programs since I changed my theme colors. Since I don't know what it's called I can't find any info.
