Shutdown causes a Restart
The BIOS is at the most current version.
PowerManagement has been disabled in the BIOS and OS.
All of the hardware drivers are up to date.
All MS patches have been applied.
I have discovered that unplugging my cable modem from the
USB port allows for a normal shutdown. (It's not the
cable modem, because I changed the modem with another
brand.)
When I select "SHUT DOWN" the system appears to shutdown,
but then it restarts.

system slow down
I don't know if anyone can help or can offer any
suggestions as to why the following problems might be
happening.
1. I have a broadband connection but have found things
haven't been working anywhere near as efficiently over the
past week or so. It's most noticeable when I'm using
services like eBay or search engines where I have to type
something into the writeable field. Firstly there seems to
be a delay between what I type and what comes up and also
when I try and select the text with a mouse drag it
doesn't really react and if it does there's a very
noticeable delay. Also the pages seem to be taking their
time loading. I've run a thorough scandisk check as well
having an up to date virus protection prog (Norton) which
I've tried running manually as well as automatically.
Neither program reports any faults though, which is
leaving me none the wiser. Any suggestions what it could
be or how to solve it? I did run Spybot a while ago to get
rid of any annoying stuff like Gator, but I'm not sure if
this would have caused the problem. I also disabled a
program that suddenly appeared called diskman.exe via the
run > msconfig > Startup sequence.
2. My Epson color 740 just started printing in magenta
only - lovely colour but everything's mauve! I wonder if
it's a related problem or not? Can't be the cartidge as I
just replaced it.
Could a rogue virus have crept in somehow when I disabled
Norton to run a scandisk check? If so, why does it show up
and why isn't Norton fixing the problem?
Anyhow, any ideas/help would be much appreciated as I
don't want to spend the money on an engineer if it's
something fairly straightforward. Also, as it's a 450Mhz
Pentium 3, I don't want to waste money before I upgrade.
Thanks in advance,

$6 into $60,000 in 90 days, GUARANTEED
Postal lottery: Turn $6 into $60,000 in 90 days, GUARANTEED
A little while back, I was browsing through news groups, just like you are
now and came
across a message just like this, that said you could make thousands of
dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!!!
So I thought yeah right, this must be a scam!!! But like most of us, I
was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to
each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the message. You then
place
your own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6 and post the
message in at least 200 news groups. (There are thousands). No catch,
that was it.
So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first. I
thought
about trying it. I figured, what have I got to lose except 6 stamps
and
$6.00, right? So I invested the measly $6.00!!! Guess what? Within 7
days I started getting money in the mail!!! I was shocked!!! I figured
it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in!!! In my first
week, I had made about $25.00. By the end of the second week, I had
made
a total of over $1,000.00!!! In the third week, I had over $10,000.00
and it is still growing!!! This is now my fourth week and I have made
a
total of just over $42,000.00 and it is still coming in rapidly!!!
It's
certanly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps!!! I have spent more than that on
the
lottery!!!
Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works!!!
Also, make sure you
print a copy of this message now. So you can get the information off
of
it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions
exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought
possible
by doing something so easy!!!
Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully!!! (Print it out or
download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
in!!! It's easy!!! It's legal!!! Your investment is only $6.00 (plus
postage).
IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off!!! It is not
illegal!!! ? It is almost entirely risk free and it really works!!! If
all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will recieve
extraordinary dividends!!!
Please note: Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $60,000.00 or more
can
be yours in 20 to 90 days!!! This program remains successful because
of
the honesty and the integrity of the participants!!! Please continue
its
success by carefully adhering to the instructions.
You will now become part of the mail order business. In this business
your product is not solid or tangible, it is a service. You are in the
business of developing mailing lists. Many large corporations are
happy
to pay big bucks for
quality lists. However, the money made from a mailing list is
secondary
to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be
included on your mailing list!!!
Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
Step 1: Get 6 seperate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper.
PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST
Now get 6 U.S. dollar bills and place ONE inside each of the 6 pieces
of
paper so the bills will not be seen through the envelopes (to prevent
mail theft). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
them, you should now have 6 sealed envelopes. Each with a piece of
paper
stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!! YOU ARE REQUESTING A LEGITIMATE SERVICE
AND
YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT!!!
Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about
the
legal aspect of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Postal
Service
and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!!
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
M. Lussier
3112 133A Ave NW
Edmonton, AB
T5A 2Z8
O. Kutnik
205-237 Auburn DR
Waterloo, Ontario
N2K 4G9
L. Keneston
7 Southbury Rd.
Clifton Park, NY
12065
M. Perfetti
3529 Greenglen Circle
Palm Harbor, FL 34684-3018
K. Waller
9343 Redhaven Dr.
Sandy, UT.
84094
J. Dagley
619 Northview
Greencastle, IN 46135
Step 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add your name as
number 6 on the list.
Step 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this message as
close to what you see as possible. Now, post your amended message to
at
least 200 news groups. I think there are close to 24,000 groups!!! All
you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make!!! This is perfectly legal!! If you have any doubts, refer to
Title18 sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of
these steps for yourself and whenever you need money, you can use it
again.
Please remember that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and the integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the directions!!!
Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will
continue
and the money that so many others have recieved will come your way!!!
Note: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
either
on your computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This
verifies that you are truely providing a service. Also, it might be a
good Idea to wrap the $1 bills in dark paper to reduce the risk of
mail
theft.
So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a list
developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position, you will
be receiving thousands of dollars in cash!!! What an opportunity for
only $6.00!!! ($1.00
for each of the first six people listed above).
Send it now, add your own name to the list and your in business!!!
DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO A NEWS GROUP!!!
Step 1: You do not need to re-type this entire message to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this message and
drag your cursor to the bottom of this message and select copy from
the
edit menu. This will copy the entire message into the computer memory.
Step 2: Open a blank note pad file and place your cursor at the top of
the blank page. From
the edit menu select paste. This will paste a copy of the message into
notepad so that you
can add your name to the list.
Step 3: Save your new notepad file as a txt file. If you want to do
your
posting in a different setting, you'll always have this file to go
back
to.
Step 4: Use netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for
various
news groups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions,
etc.)
Step 5: Visit these message boards and post this message as a new
message by highlighting the text of this message from your notepad and
selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the subject, this will be
the header that everybody sees as they scroll through the list of
postings in a particular group. Click the post message button. You've
done your first one! Congratulations!!! All You have to do is jump to
different news groups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it
will take about 30 seconds for each news group!
REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!!!! (But you have to post a minimum of 200).
Thats it!!! You will begin receiving money from around the world
within
days!!! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large
amount of mail you will receive. If you
wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the
postman will deliver it.
JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT!!!
Now the why part. Out of 200 postings, say you recieve only 5 replies
(a
very low example). So then you made $5.00 with your name at #6 on the
letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who sent you $1.00 make the minimum
200 postings, each with your name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to
each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for you. Now those 25
each make 200 MINIMUM posts with your name at #4 and only 5 replies
each, you will bring in an additional $125.00!!!! Now, those 125
persons
turn around and post the minimum 200 with your name at #3 and only
recieve 5 replies each, you will make an additonal $625.00!!! OK, now
here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a minimum 200
messages with your name at #2 and they each only recieve 5 replies,
that
just made you $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this
message to 200 news groups, If just 5 more reply you will receive
$15,625.00!!! All with an original investment of only $6.00!!! Amazing
isn't it!!!! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take
the
latest posting in the news groups and send out another $6.00 to the
names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again.
You must realize that thousands of people all over the world are
joining
the internet and reading these messages every day!!! Just like you are
now!!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works? I'm glad I
did!!! People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one
sends you the money?" So what!!! What are the chances of that
happening,
when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are
joining the internet and news groups everyday and are willing to give
it
a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day!!!
REMEMBER PLAY HONESTLY AND FAIRLY AND THIS WILL REALLY WORK!!!

can't move start button [that's only part of it...]
don't know how it happened, but the 'start' button is now
in the upper right, and when i go to it and get the double
arrow and click on it and hold to try and move it, it
won't move. in addition, when i try the same to move the
quick-launch toolbar over, it won't move, either. if i
move the address bar too far, it separates from the bar
into its own little window titled 'address bar'. the
right side bar, which now contains the 'start' button and
the time and running programs, can only be moved towards
the center, though not beyond. also, when i open IE, the
toolbar/taskbar at the bottom disappears and cannot be
retrieved onto the window. needless to say, i feel like a
total computard. can anyone assist??? i really
appreciate, and loads of thanks in advance...
not too happy right about now--

Scan Disk error
Everytime I boot up my computer the message comes that I
had not shut it down properly the last time. Scan Disk
then starts but does not complete the scan process. If I
hit the cancel button then it continues booting up
properly. Thanks for any help. Tag: Annclist Tag: 208090
32dll problems
I am at a loss here.. I am constantly getting dll error
messages, and they always contain the number 32. I have
searched the microsoft site, but can't seem to find exact
wordings, or "fixes" for my errors. My latest message was
Rundll32, and if problem persists, restart computer.
I have had regservr32, and I can't remember the others
offhand. Do I have a corruption on my hard drive?
We have just reinstalled Windows Me, and I am still
getting 32dll errors... Tell me where to start!
Thanks, Dawn Tag: Annclist Tag: 208087
ME Update=mission impossible
How to initiate update engine, please ? ( Win ME upgrade loaded over W98,
W98 files not saved). ME works like a dream, so fast vs W98, but ...
Problem - MS update centre "search for updates" (click) - I do that, it
starts to interrogate PC for installed but stops at 0 % (bottom bar says
"Done")
Followed instns in knowledge database (turned off firewall etc, reduced
internet security to below Medium, downloaded and manually installed
IUCTLL.INF exactly as per instns, still no joy after 5+ hours and several
re-boots.
Has anyone got solution or workaround, please ? Tag: Annclist Tag: 208086
winword.exe
I installed MS Office service pack 3 over the weekend and
somehow I believe that it affected Wordpad. Since i
installed the service pack, I am unable open wordpad and
get a message that it is not a valid win32 application.
Is there some way to easily reinstall wordpad--I have been
unable to locate in my Windows ME cd. Or do I have to to
a complete reinstall of Windows ME??
Thanks,

Error loading Explorer.exe in ME
After running "live update" in Norton Systemworks, then
downloading critical updates from Windows Update, my HP
Pavilion notebook running Windows Me will not boot.
After the Me banner screen and the usual beeps and
clicks, the HP desktop shows for a couple of second then
I get "Error loading Explorer.exe. You must reinstall
Windows." I have followed the procedures in Knowledge
Base article 299313 and after extracting and overwriting
Explorer.exe, I get the same message.
Following a suggestion on another website, I tried
editing the Windows/system/ini. to make
shell=progman.exe., then running System Restore.
However, at the same point in the boot sequence I
receive "Error loading Progman.exe. You must reinstall
Windows." Can anyone help? Tag: Annclist Tag: 208078
RE: Firewall alerts!
My av software recently detected the virus W32.Sobig.f In my email.
Obviously I never opened the attachment and immediately binned it I then
received it again the following day. It seems to be getting spammed via a
ghost mail or some such software to me. Ok so I went and checked out some Av
sites to find out about this virus it tells me that its a high risk worm
worse apparently then the MSblast or lovsan worm, the sites also tell you
about how the system sends udp packets etc, etc. to a range of various IP
addresses and they in turn send you loads of shit back. however the virus
first must be activated manually. Which I didnt do. It also apparently sends
itself to all contacts in your mail list. I have an aardvark entry as an
untrue email address entered into my contacts list so that it stops this
behaviour happening with worms they see the fist entry in your list try to
send but cant because the email add is incorrect and the first entry in the
list so it cant continue.Straightforward but effective. Problem is no online
AV software is showing a problem and my own AV software is no longer showing
a prob but since contracting the worm My firewall has been taking a pounding
form loads of different IPS, some of which were listed as the ones the virus
sends the packets to. I am getting the warnings come on telling me about
subseven and backdoor trojan hack attempts which get autoblocked as its set
to do that on all ports but the ports are stealthed so technically shouldnt
even be visible. Does anyone know what would be a resolve to this. I am
getting at least 7 hack attempts daily now from all different IPS and have
tried reporting it to my ISP with very little help.
Any input at this point guys would be hellpful! Its Norton Internet Security
I use and is up to date! Does anyone know if I there is a section on the
software that I can see If I am being port scanned and how to block it?
Where would I go in ME to check my ports manually? Thanks and cya. Tag: Annclist Tag: 208077
