I just restored my computer last week and noticed a small amount of compressed old files. I couldn't determine what they were and now I'm worried that they could have been important. Every thing seems to be running just fine but I'm wondering if I need to do a system restore again. Thanks!

I have a Toshiba Tecra laptop running Windows 2000. It doesn't work with an external mouse so I am only using the one on the keyboard. Lately the cursor will only move left and right, which of course is no good. I have tried uninstalling the driver for the OS/2 mouse, Sometimes the mouse will work for a few minutes if I can the mouse setting in the BIOS from Auto to Simultaneuos. What can I do to fix this once and for all?

I've asked this b4, but new on this answer thing, so I think I closed it, like I'd solved it, but no :(

I asked - I'm using Win X, and I've got a 250g SATA hard drive installed and plugged in, when I look in computer management>disk management - I can see it in the list. It's unallocated though, against my other drive which shows allocated and has blue bar on it, so any ideas?

Sure I did it once long time back, but forgot what I did. I got reply - Either right click inside the unallocated area & choose format or alternatively choose that area by left clicking on it (puts diagonal stripes on it) then go to actions in the menu bar then tasks then format. - then to this I added - When I right click inside the unallocated area I do not get option to format. only New Partion, Properties, and Help. If I select Action in the menu I get Refresh, Rescan Disks, All Tasks>NewPartition, Properties, also Help. Have I missed something?

So thanks for the previous help ppl, but I'm still stuck ??:(
