IE6's font size always reverts to medium

noms

Has anyone been having a problem with WinXP's IE6 always defaulting to medium as the text size? I prefer mine to be smaller, and when I change it to that size. . . it stays only for that session. As soon as I restart the PC, it goes right back to medium.

Nero Buffer Underuns

Darmok

Hey all, I have Nero 5. 5. 4. 0 installed and I cannot seem to get a reliable burn out of it in XP(RTM). I have a Plextor 12/10/32A on IDE and a UltraPlex40 on my Adaptec 29160. Even with burn proof, I get toasted cd's as it uses it from 3% in, and I just get coasters.

IE6 isn't overly bloated is it ???

reversing_drive

How does IE6 measure up, speed-wise on slower machines (PII 400mhz, 128mb PC100 RAM). I know when i tried Netscape6 it was very slow on startup, and it had a whole lot of other programs & sh!t included which i didn't want.

Shutdown troubles

Mooxooh

Hey, I run WinXP 2600 and it is impossible for me to shut it down. When I hit Turn Off or Restart it lasts very long until the shutdown screen (saving your settings etc. ) appears, and after a while the screen freezes (not possible to move the cursor).

Star Office 5.2 for Windows

Devildog

Has anyone been able to install Sun's Star Office 5. 2 under WinXP? I attempt to run the setup file and BOOM - the program dies immediately and asks if I want to send an error report. . Sounds like MS put in some SPF 50 SUN-block.

Burning/SCSI/Antivirus Advices for WinXP Users

Arkos Reed

if when using Nero to burn you have repeated buffer underruns (with burners not supporting BurnProof/JustLink), make sure you install the Adaptec ASPI driver 4. 60 build 1021 or later. The build 1017 and earlier versions have a bug that make Nero's ram buffer feature gobble up ALL your ram.
