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.

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.
