Hmmm, this may be something to mention if the errors pop up again. I'm not sure if it's exactly what happened to our designer last time, but she did mention that she had just purchased and downloaded a photo from iStockphotos.

As GK mentioned above, really the easiest way of transferring data is by networking the computers together very simply and quickly and then it's just a matter of dragging and dropping files from one folder (from your laptop) to another folder (on your desktop.) No need for additional software...

We've had both Linksys and Netgear networking equipment (switches and routers) and had good luck with both, but in the end the Netgear was actually much more user-friendly, especially for beginners to networking. Their standard features all is up to what you are willing to spend. Linksys was...

There are a lot of hostilities about changing to Vista for many reasons, but the biggest reasons it seems is issues with support for older or rarer software and hardware (including printers and other peripherals,) and changed settings and features. The core of Vista itself may be a good...

You are correct that it comes down a lot to the type of work and files that they are handling, and most of them are relatively smaller jobs yes. But even with larger files they haven't had much noticeable problems. I am with you, however, in believing that these computers are definitely ready...

We have a few different setups, depending upon what the computers are being used for. Our general design computers are basically either dual-core Intel Core2Duo or dual-core AMD Opteron systems running 2 GB memory with nVidia Quadro FX570 video cards and single WD Raptor 150 GB 10,000rpm...

I've been curious about this program ever since seeing it was in-the-works about a year ago. I'm always a big fan of Open-Source! Perhaps I will just have to break down and try it out.

It seems a lot of people have always thought that Macs are somehow "immune" to viruses, it's not true. They are a computer and can get a virus just like a Windows or Linux machine can get a virus or malware. The difference is that not many people write viruses which affect Mac systems (which...

There's a lot of discussion about the capabilities of Mac running Windows XP as well, and while I'm not really complaining, I just don't see how this is all that efficient still. Running an OS within an OS is consuming even more system resources. Besides, if system virtualization is the answer...

If I am understanding what you want, this can actually be done quite easily. Do you have the Bookmarks Toolbar turned on and visible? There may not be any bookmarks saved to this special category initially other than your "Most Visited" folder. However, it's very easy to add bookmarks to this...

Depending upon the external enclosure, you may not be able to return it for replacement if you go opening it up. Just a word of caution. Then again, as stated above, it may be a way to test and see if it is the physical drive itself or just the enclosure that has caused these problems.

Many motherboards today come with the option in BIOS to boot from an external USB drive, such as an external hard drive. However, if the boot priority is set so a USB drive is booting before your internal root hard drive (or sometimes, even if the option to boot from USB is just enabled) then...

Well it seems now that it was just the one large file that she was trying to save that was giving her the error message. She was able to save smaller files without problems. And once she closed that large file that was giving her problems, she was able to open and save other large files...

nope, no disk quotas in use on any local drives really, just seemed like for some reason it didn't want to save that certain file. I don't even think that it was that there wasn't enough space on the hard drive or in the temp folder for that temporary file, just that for some reason it just...

Well, she did get to the temp folder and clear some files out. The strange thing is, she did this cleanup this morning, tried to save, and it gave her the error. But just this evening I had her do the same cleanup and try saving again (albeit, this was a different file as she had to close the...

Thanks everyone for your input, I will look into what I can do. Production Manager shouldn't be causing any problems with old jobs on this computer, as she never opens this program on her computer. All cutting and printing is done through a whole different computer. And it doesn't seem...

Well the problem is still persisting, because CCleaner didn't really do anything. She said after installing and scanning, all it did was tell her that there were over 230 files needing to be taken care of, but wouldn't actually fix anything. You have to upgrade for that. Apparently "free to...

Thanks for that fast response! I will have her try installing and running CCleaner and see what that does. I don't know the exact size of the file she was working with, but she said it was definitely one of her larger files, several hundred MB at least I am sure.

Greetings again all, I've got a problem here for you that perhaps your expertise may help solve! One of our designers is running Flexi 8.1 on Windows XP Professional (32-bit) and all of a sudden this afternoon has had problems being able to save a large file. This is the information that she...

Sounds like a pretty good system setup, and yes going with a standard ATX motherboard and single processors system can save you plenty of money as well (especially by avoiding the cost of overly expensive ECC memory!) I wonder if anyone now has tried out the newer Western Digital VelociRaptor...
