Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Recovery Drive (D)

    When I switch on my Windows XP I get a message telling me that my Recovery Drive (D) is full and I need to delete some files. It gives me the option to free up some space, but when I try to do this, zero bytes are saved. Is it possible to format this drive without causing any problems, or is there some other way around this? I can't access the Internet as things stand. I'd appreciate any suggestions

    do you have the option to burn your recovery drive to DVD? If you did you would have recovery disks much better than recovery drive as the drive itself can fail. If you burnt disks you could possibly delete all the D but I am not sure

    You may clear the backup files. So try disc cleanup wizard.

    The recovery drive is normally set aside with an image of the computer as it left the factory. It doesn't normally increment itself. Have you been using it as a source of storage for your own files?
