    - Reformatting! Background: After frustrating but minor problems with a temp file, I foolishly deleted far more than I should have, including temporary files that I now realise were probably important. Then Windows wouldn't start properly, even in safe mode. (There's an invalid page fault in Shell32.dll, among other things.) System restore won't work because it doesn't get past loading up Windows. ScanDisk, run from DOS, kept finding things wrong, and fixing them, but it still won't let me reinstall Windows from the boot disk and CD-ROM because it says there are still errors on the hard disk. Two questions: Are there any options apart from reformatting the hard disk? Will anything bad happen if I reformat the hard disk? Thank you. Tim Tag: Autorun Fails Tag: 246712

    - Critical Updates I am trying to get critical updates to work on a computer running ME. It is a Compaq Presario 5000. First I am having a hard time just getting the udates page to load. I get a lot of this page is not advailable. But I keep trying, and finally get it. After scanning it says there is 21 critical updates to load. I can't get past the first install alone upgrade. "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service pack 1 for windows 98, windows me". I get to the set up part, and it gets to a certain point and then I get the message: Setup was unable to download the required components. Please make sure you are connected to the internet, or try to run set up later. I Have tried to do this half a dozen times. Getting the same result each time. How can I get the critical updates installed? Thank you! Tammie Tag: Autorun Fails Tag: 246697

    - Serial port virtualizer All, I'm looking for a windows and Linux driver that will support up to 128 virtual serial ports, but use TCP/IP to communicate between 2 computers. One box is Linux and will have a program that receives commands from the serial ports and sends data in response. This box simulates actual hardware. The other box is Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP and runs the client program that can communicate with up to 128 of these devices. It would have up to 128 virtual serial ports and connect to the simulator via TCP/IP. Anyone know of software that does this? Couldn't find any so far. An alternative approach is running everything on the Windows box (and adding a monitor to see both programs running). There are serial port virtualization programs for Windows, with a cost of $100 to about $250. I thought there was a freeware project to do this, but I can't find it either. Anyone know if it exists any longer? Thanks for any helpful on-topic information. Dave, Tag: Autorun Fails Tag: 246696

    - My cursor is still wandering Hi My cursor goes on a trip by itself. I end up with folders moving, applications closing, often the left mouse button brings up the desktop controls when the right button should. When I ran Search and Destroy I noticed a couple of references to ify sites and a dialer but can't find them using windows explorer. I have Hijack This. So what info do I need to give to help point me in the direction of solving this? Also does anyone know of a good site/book for learning about Windows ME (nothing too heavy!) so that I don't have to bother you lot so much and so I can understand some of the postings.

    - "svchost.exe" in Windows ME Hi, I just got rid of a Trojan horse, so every time I sit down at my computer, I check the start up files in msconfig to make sure the Trojan is gone for good. During one of these checks, I found a brand new file "svchost.exe" which according to the time stamp, was installed while my wife was viewing pictures she had received via email. She never installs anything intentionally - she leaves that to me. I began an info hunt and found that "svchost.exe" is a common file on Windows XP and is also a file installed by the "W32.Welchia.Worm." Searched the Microsoft web site and could not find any reference for "svchost.exe" on Windows ME - just on XP. Downloaded Symantec fix for "W32.Welchia.Worm" and ran it. However, it reported that the worm is not on my computer. To be on the safe side, I renamed "svchost.exe" and moved it. It is still on my msconfig start up list, but is deselected. My computer seems to be running quite well. So... I'd like to know how "svchost.exe" got on my system in the first place, do I need it or should I get rid of it completely? I'd appreciate any help.

    - System clock fix For the past month or so my system clock has been losing from 10 to 30 minutes per day. I replaced the CMOS battery but that did not fix the problem. I downloaded the new MS critical fixes yesterday and now my clock is once again accurate. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Also, my USB mouse no longer skips all over the place as a web page is loading. (or other similar tasks) I had a feeling the clock issue was not the battery because when I powered the system down and unplugged it the clock kept time. It was only when the system was running that the clock lost time. Tag: Autorun Fails Tag: 246671

    - Sysing a drive? (spelling?) I have an older laptop and tested some Windows XP setup disks on it before using them on a newer computer. However, now when I start the computer up, I have to choose which operating system I want to use. The choices are "Windows Millenium Edition" and "Windows XP Installation/Upgrade". I would like to get rid of the XP stuff and awhile ago a microsoft tech told me something about "sysing" my drive or something like that. He gave me a knowledge base article #, but I lost it. So, if somebody could give me some tips on removing the XP install so that my computer boots normally, I would greatly appreciate it! Tag: Autorun Fails Tag: 246656

    - Internet Explorer vs. Firefox? A general question: Several sources recommend on the internet to switch from Microsoft's Internet Explorer to Mozilla's Firefox, because of its much safer features, especially where hackers gaining access is concerned and Microsoft being slow in creating defensive software. What is the consensus in this NG? I did try Firefox without eliminating IE but didn't like it as much, besides incurring some minor problems. Therefore I uninstalled within days. Right now they are talking about something that hides itself from being detected, even though it doesn't seem to be very harmful or it even being beneficial. As of right now I am quite satisfied with the performance of my IE. Should I be concerned at all? Harry. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - Windows explorer trying to access internet - repost Sorry, a repost because of slight error in IP code. Lately when I start windows Me I get a request via ZoneAlarm to allow Windows Explorer to access the internet. The IP quoted is IP.239.255.255.250. Is this legit? Also AVG has started to crash out to the 'blue screen' before completing (a convenient way of avoiding reporting a virus). Is AVG (database 475) suspect? I've used google on the IP address and there are a number of people asking what this IP is all about. Unfortuneately most of the posts are not in English so I can only read a few and they are very technical. All I can make out is that the IP is based in California. Am I right in thinking that Windows Explorer is used basically to run my PC and has no need to connect to the outside world? Tag: Autorun Fails Tag: 246598

    - New HDD and OS I am fitting a new hard disk to my PC as a replacement for the original. I wish to run win ME. The PC is an HP Pavilion and came with a Win 98 'recovery' cd. Along the way I have upgraded to Win ME with a non-OEM Win ME 'upgrade' CD. I have all the necessary product keys and documentaion still with both cd's. The product ID for the 98 cd includes the string - OEM-. My question is .... can I load ME directly onto the new HDD, and use the 'recovery' cd as proof of purchase ? OR, do I have to load Win 98, then upgrade to Win ME, and will 98 load direct from the 'recovery' cd onto a completely bare HDD ? I could ghost an image of my current HDD and simply swap drives, but I would prefer a fresh start as the PC has already done 4 years on 98 without a reformat or reload and I keep hearing that Win98 registry will be in a dismal way.

    - What is this character...? What is this character and how do you type it in DOS...? >> £ << I downloaded a game tonite, didn't like it, and tried to delete it. It wasn't a standard install, and had no uninstall...you just delete the folder. (OK it was a cracked game with no install...just an unpack...please...no lectures...just help please...) While trying to empty the recycle bin, it said it couldn't find some weird named file, and wouldn't let me empty it. I went into the game folder, and started deleting folders one by one. I got to a folder with what appeared to be some sort of texture files, with a crapload of 'em in there. They looked like they had the same sort of name as what the recycle bin wouldn't delete. So I started deleting them, column by column...one by one... till I got to two of them that just won't delete. When I try to delete them, move them, rename them, change the properties...I get this error message... "Cannot Delete File Windows is unable to find the file. This item might have already been deleted or moved. Press F5 to refresh the view of this folder." I refreshed, rebooted, rebooted and tried in safemode... Ran my antivirus and adware/spyware progs... NOTHING makes these two files go away, and windows is saying it can find them... WTF...??? So I did some reaserch on the net, and I read that you need to delete it in DOS. I don't know DOS...but seem to remember this happening a few yrs. ago, and someone talking me thru a "deltree" (?) in DOS. So I got like C:>DEL Foldername\filename.extension... but the filename has that damned weird symbol/character typed above in it's name that I don't know how to type. (I had to copy and paste t from the actual filename.) Anyone up and awake out there...? Please help...??? Thanks! The Magician Tag: Autorun Fails Tag: 246575

Is your Auto Insert Notification enabled?

Right click on your my computer icon. Choose properties.
Double-click the CDROM branch on the Device Manager tab,
and then double-click the entry for your CD-ROM drive.
On the Settings tab is the Auto Insert Notification box
checked?
