Delayed Write Failed

[Guest]

A few days ago I started getting an error message in a pop up balloon saying
"Delayed Write Failed....windows was unable to save all of the file to
......." I have changed nothing on my computer. What should I do?

Curious, When do you get this message ? Power blip/dip/surge 'might' cause
that if you don't use a battery back up.

I don't-know yours - but if mine maybe I would or might go into device
manager and look at properties for the hard drive, then look at policies -
if it has a delayed write check box or advanced catching change it from
enabled or not, to whatever is opposite and try that for a while.

It is just my internal harddrive on my laptop. It occurs when I go into
Internet Explorer but other times too.

There might be a problem with your hard drive (let's hope not). Backup all
your important stuff just in case. I had this problem with a hard drive,
turned out to be faulty.

How about turning off the write cache? In XP Home, the path to the
'Write Cache' settings is... My Computer / right click on drive /
properties / hardware / properties / policies / mark checkbox
appropriately. Note: This may cause the Hybernate function to slow
dramatically. Personally, I don't use Hybernate.

I tried that and it still continues to give me that error message. Any other
ideas?
