    - Windows Media player My WMP (the one that came with WINME) got corrupted and stopped functioning. I removed the folder WMP, downloaded WMP 9 and installed the program. However, it is not functioning either (the program opens and then freezes the computer to the point that I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL twice and restart). Is it possible to reinstall the WMP that came with WINME (I still have the CD)? If so, how? How do I uninstall WMP 9. It is not listed on the Add/remove window. -- Luiz Carlos G Monteiro lcgmont@globo.com Tag: Red X Tag: 249115

    - C:\OLDREST\TEMP When I run mcafee it hits a hidden system file called c:\oldrest\temp. This file is almost 4 gigs and contains over 65,000 files with the file extension of .cpy, the earliest file creation date is 1997,which is older than my PC bought new in 2000 and the last entry is 2003. Mcafee spends the better part of an hour checking this file. My question is does anyone know what this is and what its for, can I delete it or shoould I just have mcafee exclude it?

    - dat file icon changed - how to change back All the DAT files have a Nero Multimedia icon against them. How do I change the icon back? Listing all the options under 'open with' does not give me the original DAT icon. In fact it warns me not to change it! Using Tweak UI, icons restore, does not cure the problem. It seems to have happened after I installed Nero 6 and did some critical updates from MS. AVG, XoftSpy, NoAdware, Spybot and CWShredder do not find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

    - RUNDLL Error Recently, I deleted some keys in the Windows Registry to remove all obnoxious Adware files on my Windows ME operating system. Shortly after, I started constantly receiving a RUNDLL window popping up with the message "Error loading winup.dll The system cannot find the file specified. I had made a back up copy of the Windows Registry before deleting the Adware keys. I tried reverting back to that back-up to solve the RUNDLL error messages, but to no avail. Can anyone help me before I cave in and have to pay Microsoft their $35 for help on this? Thanks! Joe Tag: Red X Tag: 249044

    - Internet connection problems Hi, I can connect to my ISP and update my virus guard files from the Mcafee tray icon, but when I try to check my e mail I get a message saying unknown host. When I try to surf the web I get "Page cannot be displayed." If I ping www.google.com, from a dos prompt, I just get timed out but if I ping myself 127.0.0.1 it gives four responses as you would expect. I have uninstalled internet explorer and then reinstalled it and upgraded it to ver 6.0 but still exactly the same. I did a Windows ME reinstall over my existing setup but no difference. It all started after someone inserted a disc to setup BT Connect as the ISP, unfortunately it was a very old disc and didn't work, just locked up the system. Has any one any ideas what I can do to remedy my problem. TIA Peter Tag: Red X Tag: 248983

    - Boot Problem Hi; Thanks in advane for listening. I am having problems booting from my hard disk. I can boot from an old version (win98) startup disk, but never made a WinME startup disk. can the system files be downloaded from the internet or can they be extracted from my winME CD? How do I go about this. I can't get the setup to complete because of a long filename conflict. When scandisk ends it says to run the windows version, which of course I can't do. I would prefer not to reformat my c drive if possible. At the moment I'm working on a separate laptop with Win98 installed.

I have put in Disks for installation, example.... Adaptec, which has data, and still nothing, is this what you mean? I also have a disk Called Streets (data) where I look up addresses, I have put that in , and nada,,,, will work in the DVD drive though. It used to work in the CD Drive.
