OK. Using two drive panels. At the left top corner of the

does not change nor does the drive info under to the right

Paul? John? Anyone know what could suddenly make this file
manager
fail to be able to change the drives properly? XP problem?
Some other
software? (This occurs when I first turn on computer before
loading
browser or other applications.) This occurs with either of
two
versions of this file manager. The manager worked fine for
many years
previous to this problem.
TIA
Obviously, the file manager doesn't think the partition
you're trying to flip to, is present.
Why does it think that ?
I'm out of guesses.
Remember, I'm the guy, that it took me more than one year
of debugging, to figure out that some real weird
symptoms on this computer, was *actually* caused by
bad RAM. You wouldn't believe the weird **** File
Explorer was doing. I was forced to fix it, when WinXP
started crashing after reading any more than 15GB of
hard drive data. That really made me sit up and take notice.
And it was actually a Windows Memory Tester that found
the bad RAM. I was just goofing around, and decided to
try the Windows Memory Tester because I was bored.

Where did you find the Windows Memory Tester? I've searched with
Control Panel and looked on Google and there seems to be nothing
built-in I can find on my system. DLing stuff all seems to be
disk images and seems more complicated than I'd prefer to get
into. I can't seem to find a simple XP memory tester to run from
the web site or DL. I seem to remember when I was running DOS
they were all over the place. I have a couple of old floppies
from magazines with maintenance utilities but I have no way to
run a floppy. The utilities probably wouldn't work on XP anyhow.
Suggestions?
