Me too! Actually I had two 'W' drives showing in WinExplorer. I
deleted them, but I also have a number of other odd things going on. 5
previously unseen folders have appeared, they are: Cpqdos, Datafire,
Dell, Mww and Uninstal.ooo. Each one contains nothing. In C:\Windows, I
have StartMenu and StartMen. Also I am seizing up - mouse pointer will
move, but nothing else, and a restart is necessary.
I am taking the box to the 'Doctor' tomorrow, for a drench. I suspect a
worm!
Cheers.
