me, ie6,wd2000
1) notice sys res checkpoints appear back to January, many of them. Is this
correct?
2) how do i convert a wd2000 doc to a pdf file? Or a doc file of 7000kbs,
the most rapid way to send over the internet?
sorry for the dumb questions.

1. It's correct for past months to be seen. All bold "saves" were created,
but not necessarily available, depending on disc space allowed.
2. Copy content to clipboard and insert in Adobe. Other methods are
possible, but try this first.

In your second question, I guess you or your recipient has an ISP limited
file size. You can cut about 25% by using a free Zip (ie: Winzip) app.

System restore points will appear for as far back as there is space to
hold them - by default, SR creates a new point every 24hrs realtime,
when the computer has been idle for 2 minutes, even if there have been
no changes to the system. I'd limit the amount of space available to
SR to around 1GB or less (unless installing something large, like
Office) to free up space on the HD, as it will try to fill the 12% of
the C: drive that's reserved for it by default.

Sending Doc files over the Internet is best done in compressed format
(as a zip file). there's loads of 'dead' space in DOC files, which is
removed by zipping them. I suspect that 700KB will come down to less
than 70KB unless there's embedded jpegs.

Ooops! - yeah
(I'm sure I checked the numbers -but it was a hard day yesterday!)
Mind you - I have a hard time working out what sort of doc file might
get to 7MB without embedded jpegs!
At that - if there are embedded jpegs, it may be that just changing
the actual size of the pictures before embedding them will reduce the
file size - many get embedded at an unnecessarily high pixel-count,
either because the are resized after the embed, or because they use a
very high pixel/inch setting in the original, which is probably
unnecessary within the doc.

thanks for the responses and answers.
1) i periodically check sys restore to make sure it's enabled.
2) that was the problem with the doc file. i had an embedded picture in the
file, but NOT in jpeg format. Updating the file using a jpeg embedded pix
reduced the size from 7000Kbs to 500kbs. It transferred over the net much
faster.
told you i was dumb -

Not dumb at all - just unused to the requirements!

Glad we were able to point you in the right direction.
Good luck.
