---Some Problems---

1. Installshield Doesn't Work - When I try to uninstall something that uses InstallShield, it just says uninstall complete, but it is still installed.

2. Nothing is Prefetching - The prefetch folder in WINDOWS is always empty. FIXED!

Other Problems [may be related to above]:

Front USB Ports Don't Work - Dell says I have to replace front I/O board

Right Clicking Desktop Freezes
- After I shut down, the right click menu appears

If anybody has any ideas about 1 and 2, please tell me!

Thanks,
Retrac1324

#2->Control Panel->Admin Tools->Services->Enable Task Scheduler that is required for prefetch to work.

Front USB Ports Don't Work - Dell says I have to replace front I/O board -> You're probably stuck doing that....

Right Clicking Desktop Freezes -> I think a recent MS Update might be causing this. I think a revised update file is ready or will be ready..
