HELP! Desktop disappears when I click on it, can't click on icons
I've searched on the internet for an answer as to why I can no longer
click and open the icons on my desktop, but I haven't found an answer.
The icons don't move or anything, but the whole desktop disappears and
all you see is the wallpaper, then it goes back to normal. However, I
am able to access programs using my keyboard, but programs will
randomly close, and they give no warning.
I've scanned for trojans and viruses, and I did find one called
bluebot, but I was able to get rid of it, and it seems that that
wasn't the problem. I even did a second scan, and nothing came up.
Restarting the computer doesn't fix it, not even temporarily. Tag: Ad-Aware Update Tag: 287573

registry went nuts
Greetings,
Had an odd one this evening.
restarted the machine after a AV scan (AVG)
machine started asking me for a win password (I don't use one)
machine lost all memory of the video driver (ATI)
machine would only start in safe mode.
repeated diskscan showed no problems
did a registry scan using PCTools Registry Mech. (no new problems)
tried a restore but only had 1 point showing in the history record
(date time showed it to be the same time I had restarted after the AV scan)
so
I did a floppy disk restart and a scanreg/restore
(had a few dates from yesterday, picked the closest one to today)
System restarted normally..
Anyone got any ideas what the h&&& happened.?
Tks,

MI5 Persecution: Surveillance methods 5/8/95 (5958)

it does go on, although it's an open question who does it.
Some time ago there were press reports of an Army intelligence person
called Jones who claimed Diana and Hewitt had been photographed in a
compromising position... he said he'd been doing this as part of an
Army unit which had previously operated in Northern Ireland.
Then Hewitt said he'd been told the same thing by some Army people,
and that they were threatening to release the tapes unless they
curtailed their liaison... as per usual everyone denied everything,
painted Jones as the "Jones twins" - not very original in how
they deal with their perceived enemies, are they?
You have to wonder how they manage to achieve this sort of
surveillance though. Audio you can understand, it's possible to put
a microphone through the wall, and apparently there exist devices
which will retrieve sound from a laser beam bounced off a window -
sounds sci-fi, but there's a well known surveillance electronics
company in London which sells these things.
But how would you get video out of a room, unless you had actual
physical access in order to plant a device for pickup? We're not
talking about looking in from afar, but an actual device within
the room. You could either drill through the wall and shove a
pickup through; or you could supply a trojan device with a hidden
pickup inside; but most likely, you would have to physically break
into your target room to plant a camera. That's not an infeasible
option; all it means is having your target(s) watched to make sure
they're not in the vicinity, then you negotiate any locks on the
property and find a suitable receptacle for your device.
The next question is how they defeat the usual methods of counter-
surveillance. We had private detectives carry out a "sweep" of
every room and the telephone line. They found nothing. That
indicates at least four possibilities that I can think of;
(this is all guesswork BTW, and probably fanciful guesswork
at that!)
1) no bugs (pull the other one)
2) radio-transmitting devices which can be controlled from an
external source, ie you can instruct them to switch off
when you detect a counter-surveillance sweep taking place
3) hard-wired devices; probe microphones or whatever they're
called, things you poke through the wall
4) passive surveillance devices; so you bounce laser or
radio waves off a suitable reflecting surface (again,
sounds far-fetched but such things may apparently exist).
5) there is a fifth possibility, that the PI's didn't detect
an actual transmitting device; there are technologies
specifically designed to avoid detection, eg frequency hopping
and suchlike. But how much sophistication could you build in
to a device which would have to be small enough to be
physically concealable?
I guess the real question is to find out who is ultimately
behind these "goings on". And if the "great and good" (or
the better known, at any rate) can't protect themselves,
what hope is there for the rest of us?

Anyone got any ideas of where else I can look to make a pair of speakers

The speakers that were in use on the machine no longer work (guinea pig
chewed the connecting wire) I had a set of speakers that came with Johns
machine that we don't use as our Monitors have speakers built in.
Connected these speakers but only get very faint sound, I've been through

USB 2.0
Haven't had the need for USB 2.0 for our Win Me laptop until recently so had
never really paid much attention to it. Evidently we need USB 2.0 to have
the ability to charge an MP3 player. If I understand it correctly, for Win
98SE, one needs to buy software but for Win Me and later O/S's, the software
may be downloaded by way of updating from the Microsoft website. If so, I
can't seem to find that at the Microsoft download site. Would appreciate
guidance at your convenience.

Re: Alias/Ubuntu
Hopefully the address is correct, Alias.
If I am not mistaken, a couple of weeks ago you asked for my notification
in this case and here it is:
My CD from "Ubuntu" has arrived and earlier as they projected, but as you
already had suggested.
Will have to decide the best way to install it on my machine with an 80BG
HD, partitioned into C,D,E and F, with C=20, D=15, E=15 and F=30 GB's. E&F
are completely free right now.
Maybe you or someone else here has a profitable idea.
The CD with "Linux" OS on it was mailed to me for free all the way from
Africa and to everyone's information here, I would like to mention the
meaning of the word "Ubuntu", it is: "Humanity To Others". In addition I am
free to edit, copy or distribute the CD as I would wish. What an enormous
generosity.
Thanks for pointing me to it, Alias.

SATA HDD and letter mash
yep, finally got it installed, BUT!
I boot into windows. PATA is three partitions. SATA is one, newly formatted
with SG tools. I show 2 of the SATA in Explorer. It grabbed D: and G:
Looks OK in device manager, and drive at G shown there. (no duplicates or
anything related to D), except that the properties page is for a CD/DVD. It
has auto-insert available. And removable checked.
The G, in explorer, shows up as a removable.
Changing that, or removing drive, from device manager causes system to lock
during restart. Reset causes it to reinstall with those defaults.
Except for auto-insert which seems changable.
An aside, maybe related, system has refused to do proper "shut down",
noticed maybe day after clean install. I had not pursued that, but was not
choosing shut down except on rare occaisons.
Everything else seems to be working fine, including sleep, if I shut down
Multpass server. Will pop out of sleep first time, with Multipass
initialization error, but it still works. Maybe order of sequence and it
gets restarted, however after the first sleep cycle it will stop coming out
of sleep. Solution, after getting error message, manually shut down server
and restart as necessary.
I found at SG site where they seem to abandon their tools when installing 9x
to SATA, or adding SATA for storage. The latter calls for fdisk once into
windows. No hint on what partitioning to do.
Looking for advice to overcome?
Advice on fdisk, maybe set up without primary partition?
Setting with extended/logical only, will that create other problems? Or
limitations?
Are there tools such as PartMagic that will work with disks having no
primary?
I was considering doing similar to a USB HDD that if plugged during boot
also creates a "letter mash". I have been on hold for a long time with that
idea because drive was already loaded with data. Slow transfer to clear it.
Thought of using PM7 I had on deck, but apparently didn't solve problem,
maybe limited to PM7 & USB HDD's. Now have PM8 on deck. Was loaded before
meltdown of MOBO swap, add drives issue. I didn't like the way it was
resizing partitions, that is not actually doing it but creating hidden
folders that it showed as increases and decreases of partitions. And became
leery that making, creating, hiding, etc. primary partitions was of the same
type of voodoo.
Does PM8 or any other utility do it in a manner analogous to fdisk?
(question because with commercial and free utilities claiming better, why is
fdisk still the blood of HDD setup?)

reasons for no longer believing in a law passed here some years ago now,
allusions to which I've made before. The question is: who would censor it?
Because these days it wouldn't necessarily be MS and such is precisely why I

HDD issues
I am in serious need of help or advice.
Major problems started before Christmas when I simultaneously tried a MOBO
swap, all other parts same, except attempting to add a SG-160 PATA and
SG-160 SATA simultaneously.
First lesson learned is not to attempt so many changes at one time.
SATA drive not recognized on first port in BIOS, but was on second. Perhaps
a bad MOBO? Well that was the thought and I continued.
PATA drive was set on secondary master with a CDRW.
To get MOBO functioning properly, I blew away everything in device manager
and attempted reinstall. Numerous problems, mostly system stops during the
hardware detection phase. (multiple attempts at reinstalling OS)
Finally got up and seemed OK, for a short while. Except I then found that
all drives were running in MSDOS compatibility mode after the first complete
reinstall of OS. (No wonder it seemed like the slowest machine I have ever
seen)
No updates at that point so no system restore, or maybe it was the added
drives. But unable to get it working normally and finally discovering that
it had something to do with CDRW and SG-160 on same channel, Could not see
CDRW in Explorer or device manager with both hooked up. (Everything was
manually jumpered at this point, because the original MOBO manual said to do
it that way and didn't even mention cable select)
Not knowing what level of corruption or type of problem or how to even undo
any of this mess, I blew away the drives. Data backed up, I proceded with
format and clean install. Hardware detection went a little better. Gave up
on hooking up the SATA drive at that time as couldn't get into windows with
it hooked up even though it looked fine in BIOS on second channel.
Somewhere in setting up the new PATA, to the best of my recollection, on
boot I got a screen saying one of the drives was operating in MSDOS
compatibility. System halted to avoid corruption ___something, etc. All
drives would be set to MSDOS mode. etc.
No restore points. I eventually did get that MOBO up and operating without
the added drives. But the MOBO didn't seem to be all that hot and since I'd
rather have the added drives, I switched back to the previous MOBO. And of
course install to get it working.
Not part of the problem, but part of the tale. After installing some
utilities and all updates from MS and a few other things to satisfy myself
that I had something stable, I turned the machine over to daughter who said
she had a report to work on. I was tired and unsuspecting. Experience had
taught me to avoid online land mines, but she apparently went straight to
myspace and caught something. Within seconds the whole system sank to a
crawl. Restores had no effect. Could not get on line at all. Each successive
boot was worse until I could not even get task bar.
Lesson number two!!! Don't let someone else touch machine until security
suite is loaded. Splat! like mushy cow flop hitting concrete. A few days of
careful work down the drain. This time, once I reached that point of
installing, I made a copy to a second HDD and unhooked it. And I'm at the
point I want to do the same with all the stuff that has been added, so I
have a point of quick install and only need to add data plus changes.
BUT!!!!!!!!!
Now running the SG-160 PATA on primary master and CDRW on secondary master.
BTW, found other MOBO was cable select compatible, so is this one, and that
is the config I'm using.
I have found out that the SATA drive behaves the same way on this MOBO, no
show channel one, looks good in BIOS on channel two, problems beyond that,
so have set it aside again, but at least it isn't the MOBO, I'm guessing.
Tried to install a second SG-160 and set it up as a copy of the first.
Seagates disk wizard (ontrack tools). First I noticed that manually setting
partition sizes with slider, I could not get the same size partitions.
Something wrong with their tool I suspect. Also noted that doing it as a
copy of primary master it kept telling me second partition was 16K clusters.
BS. Originally set up with 32K and size of 33,585MB, a point on the slider.
Also went back into windows and moved a 1KB file to that partition and
checked properties of it which showed it 32KB space used. Obviously a fault
in SG disk wizard.
It copied the C partition as expected, but not the other two, which only had
data on dsk1 partition3, but I wanted it on my back up drive as well. Why
not? Wouldn't hurt to have another backup of it on a drive that would soon
be unplugged?
Is there something wrong with that thinking?
BTW, copying takes a lot of time, especially the tool copying the C
partition from one drive to the other.
Having gotten all copied to the new drive, I was looking to find an
explanation as to why the slider would not stop on the same increments of
partition size and see if I had missed anything I wanted backed up on that
HDD. Guessing, it was 4-6 reboots when that darned blue screen of MSDOS
compatibility mode stuff reared its ugly head again. Booted into windows,
restore points are gone.
Ugly point one?
Unplugging that added drive, into safe, did scanreg /restore. So the setting
that bars normal operation is somewhere in the registry. I would like to
know what it is, if known. On one occaison I had no good registry restore
points which led to another reinstall.
Ugly point two, what in the registry is it?
Determined to get me a good copy on a second HDD, I have pressed forward.
And somehow, disk wizard I think, I started getting message about
unsupported configuration. I have no idea why it had not popped up before.
It gives option to ignore. It is not liking that second HDD is slave to CDRW
master on secondary. Figure best not to ignore with the trouble I have.
2nd HDD is now slave on primary channel. And again I've had issues with blue
screen, MSDOS compatibility thing. I just laid aside concerns that something
may be done to MBR to original drive with choice of copy and make new drive
boot drive, either leaving old drive in or removing. He told me the change
is strictly by cable or position designation. Is there something wrong with
having a complete usuable partition as primary partition on two drives
simultaneously hooked up?
Ugly point three, above?
For what reasons may I be getting that blue screen message? Is there a good
list related to such issues?
Ugly point four?
End of quarter and hoping the wind will be more favorable.

A quick check at the Spybot website shows that they are working on it

System Error - File Access ERROR
I am trying to fix a friend's PC which is a Windows ME Celeron based PC.
The computer has AVG and Zone Alarm running.
The problem is an error message that appears at startup referring to
access to a file because another program is using the file - I do not
know what the "file" being accessed is.
This computer is running PC Tattletale, a parental controls program. The
friend wants to continue using PC Tattletale to protect her children.
The program uses winload32.exe which will show up as a spyware program
if you check it using Google. That's partly true as the software does,
in fact, monitor activity (on the web, keyboard, sites visited, IM
chats, etc). This program, however, is NOT the nasty program that comes
up in the Google search. I have been assured by the software tech
support staff of this fact. They are also working on this problem but so
far no useful info has developed on this problem.
The problem is that an explorer error is received at start up. This
error appears ONLY if winload32.exe is called out in the HKLM run key.
If I uncheck that file using msconfig, the system starts fine and no
errors are present. But after the program runs and resets the winload32
file back in the startup, the error appears again at the next startup.
The error is as follows:
*********************************************
Run-time error '-21479024882(8007000e)'
System Error &H80070020(-2147024864) The process cannot access the file
because it is being used by another process.
*********************************************
This error appears with Zone Alarm and AVG antivirus not installed, and
not running as well as when running - so they do not appear to play a role.
The error doesn't seem to be more than an annoyance as clicking on the
popup "OK" eliminates the error message with no issues until the next
startup when it appears again.
I would appreciate any comments and/or suggestions.

4) Reviewed Microsoft's security bulletin MS06-020 about the vulnerabilities

Questions are: a) how do I download Adobe Flash Player? 2) what are process
steps I should take?
Would appreciate a response.

does not appear in the welcome box of users to choose from when booting. If I
press escape, the original user loads.
Any help would be appreciated!

Keeping it Going
To the previous poster who was worrying about lack of activity in this
NG, and so posted about a handgun of some kind, I have this to say....
I'M CURRENTLY INSTALLING WIN ME AS I TYPE
I'm a great believer in properly licenced S/W, and since I'm bringing a
3rd PC to life the only O/S I have a legal copy of is Win ME, so voila,
an brand new install of some ancient O/S.
And believe me, I'll be posting here for help pretty soon I'm sure, or
at least searching the archived topics !

Security Issues
I am currently in school and one of my task is to find one or two security
issues/security updates for Windows ME. My problem is I am not very good at
understanding the computer language and when I read the security updates I do
not understand. Can you help me to understand one or two security
issues/security updates for Windows ME?
Thank you Tag: Ad-Aware Update Tag: 287078
Should I buy upgrade or full version of Win XP?
I was told by Microsoft support that I have a "developers edition" of Win
ME. I need to upgrade to XP. (I bought a Creative Zen
Microphoto MP3 player that I can't get to work with ME) Is a developer's
edition considered an
"evaluation version" and therefore I would not be able to use the upgrade
version of XP Home? I would like to avoid re-installing all my applications
in
hopes that they will still work with XP. If upgrade version won't work, will
the full version allow me to keep my programs intact or do I have to
re-install everything? Thanks for any advice.

Bang bang kapow blat blat blat
The question I'd like answered - and I bet there's *someone* here who can -
is does Les Baer 1911s differ internally? He seems to be regarded as a
manufacturer in his own right but, pretty as though his product is, it looks
like a tarted up 1911 to me. Or is he simply considered a customiser, say
like an engraver?
Incidentally if anyone thought I was anti-gun, what I am anti is people who
defend gun ownership with such vehemence that they're clearly the sort who
shouldn't be allowed to touch one. They are emotionally unstable and
probably barely suppressing the urge to shoot anyone who disagrees with
them. The kind who make up lynch mobs. The kind who think if children shoot
themselves it serves them right.
Not being allowed to collect firearms is one of the main reasons I seriously
want to quit Britain. Another Blairism, another failure. I've been looking
at antique Winchesters lately and they are beautiful examples of
craftsmanship and not being letting me buy one is bordering on insanity. I
was also - until some kid smashed my hand - a damn good shot and prize
shooting for the hand-eye coordination honing it enables.
Those Ed Brown 1911s look tasty. Only wasn't he one of Ironside's team?

how to reformat NTFS drive to FAT32
My wife's pc has WinME. Also a FAT32 formatted hard drive. I want to
re-format a NTFS formatted external USB hard drive to FAT32, and need
instruction on how to do that.
I know that WinME can't read and write to NTFS, so want to reformat the
external USB drive to FAT32.
How do I do it? Tag: Ad-Aware Update Tag: 287040

This just in Shane:
David Beckenham and Posh Spice are coming to America, with Beckenham getting
the most lucrative contract for a player in this category ever.
You may know this already, but in case you don't, you might want to.
This isn't exactly WinME related, but still news to some.
Let me (us?) know what you think.
A little discursion can't hurt, can it?
