Pikey 0 Posted December 2, 2000 Ok, After the NT4/Win2000 debacle I am on a roll here, might as well get it out of my system (no PC puns included) But, hell, Windows 2000 runs beautifully on my system but for the life of me i cannot come to terms with the 'disk cleanup' utility. It takes bloody ages to do anything! In fact it gets stuck (nothing like technical terms here) at the "Compress Old Files" stage and remains aimlessly thrashing away ad infinitum. I have always cancelled after 10mins at this point. By the way i am background running Norton Utilities 2001/Anti-Virus 2001 at the same time. What gives? Share this post Link to post
CUViper 0 Posted December 2, 2000 start troubleshooting.... I'm ***uming that you realize that norton could be the problem, since you mentioned that you were running it. try disabling the norton stuff and see if it works better then. if it does, you've found your problem...

CUViper 0 Posted December 2, 2000 umm, admins? could you please turn off the astericks replacement on any word with a-s-s in it? there are plenty of non-offensive words with that combination (a-s-sume, embara-s-s, etc.) Share this post Link to post
jdulmage 0 Posted December 2, 2000 I've already mentioned that before, but to no avail.. I was just ***uming that they would try to ***ociate the word "***" by itself, there must be a way.. hehe, I tried to use the word a$$ as much as possible there Share this post Link to post
