I have recently upgraded my Win98 to WinXP. I was running with only the Windows Firewall so I probably picked up some computer social disease, but multiple scans with multiple products have not picked up anything. However, I can no longer click on File in any folder window or in Windows Explorer, nor can I right-click on the folders or the Windows desktop. Is this going to relatively easy to fix or should I just go back to Win98 which I understand?
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(I need to not spend valuable work time making up merit badge requirements for the Geek Scouts.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The requirements for the actual BSA Computers badge include:
8. Is it permissible to accept a free copy of a computer game or program from a friend? Why or why not?
I want to know if "Duh - all my software is open source!" is an official BSA acceptable answer. (or, really, I probably don't...)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Connie, have you tried rebooting the machine yet? I've never had that exact problem, but once in a while I've seen similar weirdness that vanished upon restarting.

Multiple times. This has been going on for a couple of days, and I don't leave it on all the time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I forget if there are folks here who use SQL Server / Enterprise Manager....
Anyway, I gotta create this huge script (based on our development database) to create a bunch of tables, views, stored procedures, etc. The problem is that when the script is run on our client's servers, it errors whenever it encounters a view or stored procedure that uses a view that has not been created yet. As a result, we spend hours rearranging the order that things get created to prevent this.
Is there a better way?
