    - Explorer has caused an error in kernel32.dll Whenever I am on Internet Explorer for a little while, I get an error message that reads "Explorer has caused an error in Kernel32.dll. This program will now close." Once I attempt to close Internet Explorer, the computer freezes and the only way I can exit IE is to end task in the close program box. It usually happens when I click on the Favorites option in the toolbar or when I click on the address bar, and once when I right clicked on something. This only occurs when I am online through Internet Explorer. I have searched and read several forums, but people have too many varying solutions, therefore I am unsure as to which one I should attempt. I hope someone has a solution to this most irritating problem, and thank you in advance. PS- I tried updating all of the ActiveX controls and Internet Explore itself, didn't help.

    - Runtime Error I've been getting Runtime Errors . The first time I recieved the error was when I opened a folder that had the picture preview custimization. I set all my folders to standard view which I don't necessarily like but to fix the immediate problem it helped. But then while surfing the internet today. I got two Runtime errors, I didn't see a common issue between the two sites. Is there a fix for this? There is a critical update available for WinME but I've installed it several times and it still appears. It installed successfully every time. Its the Q329414: Security Update (MDAC 2.1) update.

    - Lost icons after installing download from Man U pages I had a call from a friend who has a computer running WindowsME. While she was out her son visited Man U. web site and downloaded and installed something. From what she says it sounds like it would have been a wallpaper. Now whenever she starts the PC she cannot see all her icons. From what she describes part of the screen is taken up by a picture (or part of a picture) of a Man U shirt. The "Start" button does nothing at all. When she tries to open "My documents" or "My computer", icons for which are still visible, she gets an error message which goes something like "Security settings prohibit running Active X". This is making it difficult for her to track down the problem. Sorry to be so vague but I haven't seen this myself, she's hundereds of miles away and I'm finding it difficult to get really clear descriptions from her. Also I'm not very familiar with ME as all my PCs are on Windows 2000. I'm hoping someone else out there has seen this sort of problem and can tell us how to fix it...

    - Explorer has caused an error in MSHTML.DLL (after load AdAware) Running Win ME on Dell Dimension system. Last night I downloaded, installed, & ran free version of AdAware which was available through AOL. When it completed, there was an error message in pop-up window which ties up the system. The error recurs when I reboot. The error window says: "Explorer has caused an error in MSHTML.DLL. Explorer will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer." When I click "close" button in the pop-up error message window, the window disappears, then reappears in about a second. I can't do anything else but repeatedly close the error window which then reappears. If I'm quick with my fingers I can Ctrl-Alt-Del before the error recurs, and from there power down. When system reboots, same error recurs, after ScanDisk completes its run. I searched Microsoft WinME support site and Lavasoft (maker of AdAware) site for help but couldn't find anything relevant. Thanks for assistance in solving this, Bill Tag: Applet from Yahoo Games Tag: 209513

    - Using the Resident System Programs I have some systems in my office still on the Me OS and currently having an issue with some of the System Programs, most notably the defrag and disc checker. When we run them, they get to @ 2% and then stop running, but if I use Nortons defrag etc. they run fine. Is there areason that the resident programs would stop like this and does anyone know how I can fix it?

    - startup failing after install I've got a new to me but used HP running Windows ME. It didnt come with a disk for ME. I've been having various problems, like Windows Update will not work. It fails with error 0x800A138F, despite trying everything on this <a href=http://www.updatexp.com/0x800A138F.html target=_blank>page</a>. I tried downloading updates manually but some of them wont install. they start to and then need the computer to reboot before they can finsh. after reboot, but before windows starts, it errors out saying that it couldnt proceed from 1% to 2%. hitting return continues loading windows normally but the update never takes. I have also been unable to upgrade directx, it fails almost immmediately after unpacking the files saying Directx couldnt load a file (doesnt specify which)and the install will shutdown. So earlier tonight I found the CAB directory on ME and decided it would be a good idea to run Setup, thinking that whatever is causing the problem might be overwritten in the process. Windows started to install itself but on reboot got stuck with the same error about not being able to move on from 1% to 2%, push any key to continue. Only this time, after pushing a key, I get the same error message over and over, it doesnt load. I'm stuck at this point. I tried F8, step-by-step confirm, safe mode, etc. but I always get stuck at the same part. Right now i'm booting off my old drive (I can get to setup) which has 98 on it, so I'm able to get to the drive that has ME on it, I just cant boot from it. Anyone up? I'd really appreciate any suggestions anyone could offer. Tag: Applet from Yahoo Games Tag: 209470

    - Hackers Secret Weapons - Virtual Private Networks For one, if your on a Windows Platform and you didn't disable a number of services which are enabled by default, including file and print sharing, the chances of your computer being hacked/owned are very high. Also, if you haven?t secured your browser or e-mail programs this can cause your computer to be hacked/owned. Not disabling these services and not having a firewall or anti-virus program from the beginning of your computer going on the internet, is a loss cause. Backdoors and Trojan Horses disable your anti-virus and firewalls. So checking for open ports no matter where you go or how you test your ports will not give you accurate results. GRC shields-up has on one occasion showed my computer as having port 110 open. The reason for this is because a malicious hacker was using my e-mail application at the time my computer was checked for open ports. If your on a Windows Platform (minus XP and NT), select Start, Settings, Control Panel, Folder Options, View and make sure you select and have a dot in the circle where it says Show Hidden Files and Folders. Select Start, Control Panel, Network, and if you see two AOL adapters, two TCP/IP, two dial-up adapters, one or two Virtual Private Network adapters your computer has what hackers install called a Virtual Private Network, BEWARE! If you find your system re-boots itself from time to time, this is another sign that an Administrator (hacker) has to update your hacked system. Select Start, type regedit, select Registry, Export Registry, and in the box type say 3-12-02.txt and say OK. Then open this file with a text editor or word application and you might be "shocked" to find what really is installed on your system. Check the bottom of this file, since hackers love to install a bunch of their crap here. What these hackers do is disable your anti-virus program using Trojan Horses, which makes checking for viruses or trojans useless. If running a software firewall, the hackers install another version of what your running and program it so you aren't able to see their activities. Once these factors take into play, the best bet to keep the hackers out of your system is to perform the below. My suggestion would be to keep the hard drive (sent it to the FBI, minus your personal files). Or make a copy of your entire hard drive, this way if the hackers have destroyed any system using your computer, at least you have evidence if the FBI ever come knock on your door. The Trackers would like a copy, but that's another story in itself. You might want to format the hard drive, install from CD-ROM only and obtain a free port scanner for your operating system. You can download one from zdnet.com, and before you go online, port scan your own computer to check for any open ports. Backdoors, Trojan Horses and Viruses are not the consideration you need to be concerned with when your system is hacked. Your system can also be running a Proxy Server, NNTP Server, SMTP Server, Web Server, SQL Server and a Virtual Private Network. All of these factors need to be taken into consideration. Tracker The Best Kept Secrets of Backdoors, Cracking, Firewalls, Hacking, Proxies, The Internet, Trojan Horses, Virtual Private Networks, Virus, Windows and different types of Servers can be found at: http://geocities.com/secure2003222000 Tag: Applet from Yahoo Games Tag: 209469

    - intermittent sound About half the time after starting the computer, there is no sound. I have not found a way to get the sound working other than to reboot the computer. Sometimes it take 2 or 3 reboots before the sounds works. When it works it is just fine and continues to work untill shutdown. I don't know if the problem is the operating system (Windows ME), the computer ( a Dell L800 CXE i.e Celeron 800 MHZ) or possibly the sound card. Whatever it is , it's intermittent.

    - System Restore I'm on vacation again and this is usually when I make a point of learning "new stuff." I have never used my System Restore in 3 yrs and don't know much about it ( I haven't learned to back anything up either I'm embarrassed to say, but that's another vacation. Hopefully I won't suffer any consequences in the meantime). I read in an earlier post to Rob (and to others previous to that), that he should download an SR update. These are my starting questions: 1) I checked my installation history on the Windows Update site and don't see anything about a SR update in 2001. Would the update have been available on that site at some time? I just want to make sure I haven't already downloaded it before I go to the link you gave Rob. 2)Once I get the update and get SR going, do I just wait til something happens (Yikes!) with my computer to use SR or should I be doing some kind of regular checks, maintenance, etc or something in the meantime? I know this is one of those really silly basic questions, but your answers are always appreciated. Stella Tag: Applet from Yahoo Games Tag: 209345

Yahoo uses Java applets. you might have some corruption with Virtual Machine. Microsoft can no longer provide the Virtual Machine
but downloading and installing runtime files may fix this. http://java.com/en/index.jsp
