Hi again Ginny,
There is no way to see your mac files in windows unless you put them
on an
external drive.
you can disable the wireless in windows, go to settings, network,
wireless
network and you should be able to disable it in properties or right
click on
the icon in the taskbar and choose disable.
It is fine to run deffrag and disk check in windows, windows
defender is
also fine and your favorite antivirus software is recommended as
well as a
firewall if you need one windows firewall will do. When you are
running
windows in bootcamp, it's the same as on any other system except for
the
bettter hardware and different keyboard layout.
You sluggishness may have to do with any number of things though
from a
network issue to corrupt hardware/software. Maintainance doesn't
always fix
this.
God luck!

Subject: [macvoiceover] windows on the Mac
Hi there. I know many of you guys run Windows on your Macs. I've
been
doing this, too, for about a month now, and I have a few questions for
anyone who is willing to answer. By the way, I have a Macbook with
Leopard
and run windows xp via bootcamp.
1. In the last few days, Jaws has started stuttering as if the system
is sluggish-but I don't have lots of programs installed or running
on the
system at once. Is it OK for me to use system tools like disk clean-
up or
defragmenter to see if I could fix this problem? Or could I run
some type
of external "clean-up" software, or would this be dangerous since I'm
sharing space with another OS. (does that even make sense?)
2. 2. My airport can still connect to my secured wireless network,
but
my Windows cannot. It can connect to other networks-just not
security-enabled ones. I get an error about "the network might have
been
removed. Hit refresh.) or something like that. Has anyone else had
this
issue? To that end, is there a way to turn off the wireless feature
when in
windows since it's actually using the airport?
3. I'm sure this is a silly question, but is there a way to move files
into Mac folders while running Windows or vice versa? When I have
Windows
running, I can't seem to find my Mac files (such as music)
anywhere.I can't
get to the other drive. (Sorry; I know just enough to get myself in
lots of
trouble.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ginny
