    - Ifshlp.sys Hi Good Folks, I've just been through the MS Knowledge base looking for info on a boot error I got this morning that said I was missing Ifshlp.sys. I have the file now (I checked) because I used my boot disk to get to System Restore. In the MS article there was no explanation of what might cause this file to vanish. I had Ifshlp.sys yesterday for sure: Windows loaded without a glitch, 'puter ran like a top (no blue screens, no errors, no lock-ups), and shut down perfectly at the end of the day. I've had one lock-up/poweroff today since the restore--caused by MailWasher (it occasionally throws me a blue screen, but it's one I can actually use "enter" to get out of most of the time). Anyone know what might have happened with Ifshlp.sys?--I'd like to avoid having a problem with it again. Norton AV has found nothing, and the computer is shut off every night (I have a dial-up connection). carol Tag: Addresses Tag: 228281

    - Where does my memory go? I've got a 900MHz Athalon with 384M memory installed. I can be doing nothing but editing a small document with Microsoft Word and my memory will drift from 170M available to 0M - then the system locks up. I don't even have to be physically editing anything. It's not only with Word either - I can have no apps open on this machine, just the operating system and watch the memory just dissapear to 0M and then either the system locks up or I get a BSOD - WHERE IS MY MEMORY GOING TO? Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I need one of those memory defragmenters? What can I test? I'm baffled... Tag: Addresses Tag: 228270

    - Registry Checker error I have a problem similar to Paul Johnson's previous post although I don't know exactly what caused it. I was attempting to add this Me system to our router for internet access and suddenly when I re-booted I got the same message from the Registry Checker. I pressed OK and the system re-booted and when it came up the next time (just when it appeared to be finished loading the desktop, etc.) it jumped to a blue screen with the following error message: Filename:VMM(12)+00001A77 Error:0E:0028:C0280A77 I re-booted again and was back to the desktop with the Registry Checker error again. This cycle repeated with additional re-boots. So I ended the Registry Checker task, used the Symantec system scan to fix the registry (found and fixed 23 errors) and still I get the same Registry Checker error. Ran Symantec again and it found no registry errors and the machine seems to run fine. Still getting the Registry Checker error message every time I boot. What might be going on here and what should I do to (as safely as possible) fix this problem? Thanks, Lee Tag: Addresses Tag: 228269

    - Hide when minimized This may not be a Millinium specific question but the system has Millinium on it so I'll start with that as the OS. Taskbar is visisble. When I open up applications, for example Excel, and if I need to minimize one to get to something else. When I minimize the application item disappers from the Taskbar so I can't click on the item to restore it to full size. The only way I can bring it back is to use the Alt-Tab keystroke so the application is still open but i can't restore it to full size. The taskbar is visible the whole time. It is similiar to what occurs if you bring up the Task Manager and go to Options menu and check 'Hide when Minimized'. I must have set the same type of setting for all applications by accident because I can't find that setting for anything in looking through all the functions so far. Can anyone provide any suggestions. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tag: Addresses Tag: 228268

    - Problems with Norton Speed Disk For some reason I cannot use Norton Speed Disk on my laptop. It used to work fine but now it seems to get stuck. I have a Sony VAIO notebook running Windows Me, and a hard drive of 10 Gb that is partitioned in two drives, a C drive of about 4 Gb containing the operating system and program files and a D drive of about 6 Gb containing data files. The C drive contains about 2.5 Gb of data. When I try to defragment this drive a certain sequence occurs: Speed disk is first "optimizing folders", then does some "sorting" and finally goes on to the task of "optimizing". At first all seems to go fine, but then at some point the program gets stuck by just endlessly repeating the first two phases of "optimizing folders" and "sorting". This can go on for hours, but often the program just crashes and shuts down. I've tried to defragment in safe mode but Speed Disk won't run in this mode. I've checked disk integrity and all but cannot find anything wrong. Does anyone know what may be causing this behavior and how I can correct it?

    - Windows hanging on 1st start up Hi all - Windows has started to hang on the first startup since day before yesterday. I thought at first it was just a 'thing', but, it is doing it with every new startup. After I turn it off with the power button, it then restart it comes up and works fine. I am not getting any error messages, it just freezes up It seems to load ok, I have my active desktop displayed, but, once that happens it just seems to hang, lock up, and I have to turn it off with the power button and then restart. . It stops processing at the same place each time, before the AV and then Zone Alarm loads. I recall seeing a few other posts about a same or similar event, but, can't nail them down, or remember the solution. I would truly appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a KB article or Help file that will address this. I found a couple of KB articles, but, they did not address this problem.
