    Single click open won't disengage


    I am helping a friend transfer her files from her old laptop to a new one. Everything is done but she changed it to one click opening. While helping her with the reinstallation of her programs and data I found the single click open being confusing so I went to control panel/folders/view and changed it to double-click to open. The problem is, it will not revert back to double-click to open. I can't stop the one click open, even though the computer indicates it is set to double-click opening. Please help, I'm starting to wonder if she got a "lemon."

    5800 Xpress, podcasting won´t open! Aaargh

    So it has happened twice, that the podcasting feature simply won´t open. No probs with radio or music player, but the podcaster just blinks and nothing more. I´ve done two hard resets (wich worked) but I don´t like to have to redo EVERYTHING when it happens.



    Why does my phone act this way?
