    - System Recovery discs available Hi, I'm in the process of cleaning out my files, and cam across my set of recovery discs for Windows Me that was for my HP Pavilion. I've upgraded to Windows XP Pro and no longer need (or can use) these CDs. So, if anyone in the US wants these, please contact me by responding to this post. I don't want to throw them out or sell them, but shipping costs will be the responsibility of anyone interested. Regards, Allan =] Tag: AdAware Update 5/26/07 Tag: 288620

    - System turned into crap Hi there. My computer just got busted somehow (for lack of a better expression), and I need some help to get it back on track, if that is even possible. What happened was that one day I rebooted it a few times in a row, because the ScanDisk program kept freezing, and when it came back on: - the display was in 16 colors; - the firewall I had installed refused to load, and it still does - I can't even uninstall it anymore; it tells me it cannot uninstall it and asks me if I want to remove it from the 'Add/Remove' list, even though the program can still be opened - the Internet cannot be accessed - I think it's because of the firewall, but I'm not sure Can anybody tell me how to fix it, without formatting the hard-drive and installing the operating system again? (If that's not possible, can anybody give me a tip on how to prevent this from happening again, if I am forced to re-install everything - but please keep in mind that with Windows ME oftentimes you are simply forced to reboot it, so just advising me not to use the 'Reset' button and always restart via the Start Menu is not exactly a good tip.) Thanks a million! I will be looking forward to some good advice from the smart people in these newsgroups. Cheers! Tag: AdAware Update 5/26/07 Tag: 288603

    - SYSTEM Connection Attempt Windows ME 4.9.3000 IE 6.00.2800.1123 AVG Antivirus Plus Firewall 7.5.448 Periodically a Dialog Box with the information below pops up after I have connected to the Internet. This will happen two or three times in a row and then I won't see it for about a month. I am guessing that it is some kind of upgrade attempt by Windows. My antivirus is active and scans regularly, the firewall is in place and functioning, I run Adaware and Spybot regularly and do not find any indication of a virus or malware. What is causing this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Application "SYSTEM" Is trying to establish connection with remote IP address 216.248.131.235. Do you want to allow this communication? Allow Deny This confirmation is related to a system communication and therefore a simple rule cannot be created in this case.

    - Open With uses wrong application My Windows ME Compaq computer came with a Microsoft Word 2000 CD that I never used. Thus, Word 2000 was never installed. I did install Microsoft Word for Windows 97 and changed the file association for .doc files so that if I left click on a .doc file it opens with Word 97. If I right click on a .doc file (or certain other file types) and select Open With, one of the choices that pops up is Microsoft Word for Windows 97. The problem is if I select Word 97 the file does not open but instead up pops a window that says "Preparing to install..." and then another window that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the 'Microsoft Word 2000' disk and click OK". At the very bottom of that second window is "Use feature from:", with the only choice being Microsoft Word 2000 or else Browse. How can I make the Open With selection of Word 97 actually use Word 97 to open the file? Tom Tag: AdAware Update 5/26/07 Tag: 288589

    - Gary S. Terhune - Removal of Winimage Gary Thank you very very much for advice and tips. These were exactly the Win.ini entries under Extension being restored in the registry. Folder references in Win.ini were not correct. The Win.ini Extension were created by the .EXE setup up file.The .ZIP ver does not create win.ini entries. I had the .ZIP version and accidently ran the .EXE version from a folder other than the main WinImage folder which created the incorrect path reference in win.ini and it automatically started appearing in the registry. Once again very many thanks and kind of you to go into invegate the cause. Thanks. Tag: AdAware Update 5/26/07 Tag: 288566

    - Color Profiles I am hoping someone has a better knowledge than me of the files in the color folder. It is my understanding that windows uses them to correct from a core point for color accuracy of your monitor, printer, scanner, etc. Just how, I have no idea, that is I don't know how the system calls them or what part of it uses them. They have been around since W95 to the best of my knowledge as I was having an issue back then and even talked to Kodak, maker of many of them, and they were of little help. They did offer to make me a custom ICC file, expensive. Sometime since then PRF files also get added to the folder. One of them belongs to my printer, but one is Compaq and I have nothing Compaq, so I wonder if it is default installed. And whether the profiles for the hardware get installed is an iffy situation. An old Sony monitor would not install them, even though they were present. They could be manually installed. Then Sony came out with an update that would install them. Same issue with printer, although I see the profiles in the folder this time, they are not associated to the printer if I check the properties, color management. The color profiles associated with this printer window is empty. Checking the profiles known for this printer, properties, associate device is empty. And as usual, it appears the profiles for my scanner did not get added to the folder. What prompted me to pursue this again is that I noticed no profile was associated with the monitor under the color management of my video card. Checking, the profile for the monitor was not in the folder. I installed it. Most of the files in the color folder are ICC or ICM, but one specifically, mpc5500.prf, name of my printer, seems to have a bad association by file extention. The ICC and ICM open with unknown application, which I suspect is correct, and have the proper icon. The .prf files have been stepped on by something and it might be the IE6 upgrade. Properties show that it opens with "Internet Ratings and Local Us" and it is a PICS Rules File. If I chose to open the file a "supervisor password required" pops up. It says that it will install the Rules file into the Content Advisor feature of Internet Explorer. (Cancel, glad it warned me). I'm really confused on these files and hoping someone can enlighten me.

    - Security Updates CD and Windows Update Can anyone explain to me why, on a fresh install of Windows ME, after installing the Security Updates CD (Feb. 2004), Windows Updates no longer functions? I get there OK, but when I click to scan for updates, it stalls at 0%... Forever. I've tried this twice, from clean install on, with the same results. I've also installed Scripting Engine 5.6 and Repaired IE as per instructions from Windows Update T-Shooter. Even installed Java runtimes and force reinstalled IE6 SP1. No luck. -- Gary S.

    - WinXP - or not? At the last computer show I was ready to get my WinXP CD, when someone next to me mentioned, that with all Windows Systems, except 'Win2000', there would be a refusal to reinstall in case of a crash. For that specific reason the Europeans (Germans) adopted the free Linux System instead and, happily so. Does this reflect reality? I already have the CD for the Linux System, to be installed on a single and seperate 80GB HD. Would or should I want more? Harry. Tag: AdAware Update 5/26/07 Tag: 288368

    - Problems After Running Defrag My laptop has been locking up after internet usage during shutdown. I finally decided to run defrag over the weekend.

Now when I open internet and try to type in e-mail certain letters such as D, F and G executes commands as if you were hitting control and then letter (ex. ctrl B=Bold). I cannot type because when I type the letter, the keyboard executes certain commands. I thought it was concentrated only in aol internet but then tried to type in Word and the same thing happened.

    - USB Mass Storage Device Hello, I'm experiencing the following problem: Scandisk reports the presence of mismatched FATs on a freshly formatted external USB HDD. When repaired Scandisk reports that it has fixed the problem. However, the problem persists on the next running of Scandisk. The same result is obtained for multiple HDDs. The following is known: Device Manager does not report any problems and has two relevant entries - Disk Drives: USB connected HDD is correctly identified and shown to be working properly & USB Controller: USB Mass Storage Device (usbstor.sys) is present and shown to be working properly. Windows Explorer lists the connected USB HDD (Drive F in my case) and allows full access to it. However, data transfer is pains-takenly slow (i.e. hours to run a thorough Scandisk on a small 2.5GB drive). Is this a known problem with a known solution? Tag: AdAware Update 5/26/07 Tag: 288269
