    - WINDOWS ME - MULTIPLE ISSUES Hi. I have a Pentium III with WIndows ME. The pc is about 2 years old and my kids use it heavily. Lately, we're getting a ton of "missing dll" errors, and the "blue screen of death". And more annoying - we cannot print from Internet Explorer (version 6). Most of the internet pages won't even load - error says page not found. There's 256mb memory - but when I check system resources it says that only 35% of that is free - and that's with no other packages open. Can anyone recommend how to even start troubleshooting? Not sure if AOL 8.0 caused any problems - but that won't even work now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it won't run - I had to go back to 7.0. ANY input whatsoever to get me on some sort of a path would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! Tag: BOOT UP Tag: 199601

    - windows not running I am using windows me and it has stopped running for some reason. I only have access to the internet thru my instant access button on keyboard. I have no start button or toolbar at bottom of screen. The only thing that is on my screen is my screensaver. I can't even get to properties by right clicking on screensaver. This started about 2 days ago. I thought it was my monitor because the colors on monitor went haywire. But now monitor is fine but still no windows. Can someone please help me. I would re-install windows me but the disk has been lost. I would appreciate any help at all. Merry Tag: BOOT UP Tag: 199581

    - windows not restarting The Ctrl+Alt+Del function no longer restarts Windows, just crashes it; a reset is then necessary. The "Restart" option in the Start menu also fails; this simply causes a standby-like state in which the hard disks remain on. The "Wake-up" button on the keyboard is needed to start Windows from this point. A most strange problem! Advice would be appreciated. AP Tag: BOOT UP Tag: 199565

    - Add/Remove program For some reason my windows stopped keeping track of newly installed programs! As a result, I am not able to remove/uninstall many of unneeded programs from my computer - they do not show up in the Add/Remove programs window and they do not have an uninstaller file themselves either. Does anyone out there know 1) How to make windows start keeping track of programs when they are being installed? 2) Is there any way I can retrieve uninstallation data for the programs which already have been installed?

    - display and freeze problems I have two problems :- The first is that anything which appears on the screen has a dark line or ghosting across the full width of the screen. This occurs on desktop and in all programs. I am running ME with XP installed in a separate partition. This happens in both. I tried the monitor, using my own leads, on a different PC and everything was OK. I have deleted and re-installed the monitor and display driver but that didn't help. The second problem, which seemed to start at the same time, is the PC freezing randomly and the only way to correct it is switching off/back on. System restore didn't cure either problem. I had installed XP to try to cure the problem, since it didn't I decided to delete this using partition magic. The computer locked up part way through and I have now lost D drive ( system restore ) completely. Before I resort to using the restore disks to start afresh I would be grateful if anyone had any ideas or advice on the problems. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - How to password protect folders locally I want to be able to password protect the 'my documents' folder so that if anyone else uses the computer, they won't have access to them. I haven't been able to find a way to do this on a local level. I know that in XP, all you have to do is create multiple users and they are limited to viewing their own "my documents" folder unless they have admin privileges. Is there a way to do this in ME? I did set up another user, and when using the "my documents" icon, I cant see anything, but if I view the "my documents" folder in explorer, then I can see the other users documents. I'd be willing to do this any way that would work. I'm not attached to having a multiple user setup because I am the main person who uses the pc. Occasionally, however, I have people do some work on the pc and I don't want them to have access to sensitive information. Any help would be great. Charisma Tag: BOOT UP Tag: 199473

    - .vbs script file problem I have a bunch of .vbs script files from Billsway and Doug Knox which I use on occasion and I have just discovered that almost all of them don't work anymore. When I try to run one now I get one of two error messages: Script: C:\Windows\Desktop\Shutdown Timer.vbs Line: 7 Char: 1 Error: ActiveX component cannot create object "WScriptShell" Code: 800A01AD Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error or Script: C:\Windows\Desktop\DUN MENU.VBS Line: 13 Char: 10 Error: Could not create object named "WScript.Shell" Code: 80040154 Source: WScript CreateObject The one file I have used most often (random password generator from Billsway) works fine, but the others do not. I have downloaded fresh copies and the results are the same. Updated NAV and Ad-aware scans show nothing. All the other programs on my computer are running fine, including those which require Visual Basic Runtime files. No other apparent problems. I occasionally write little .vbs scripts for reminders and these work fine as well. I have done some searching in the KB and haven't really found anything that pertains specifically to my problem and what I have found is pretty much beyond me. I have discovered that the error "80040154" apparently refers to "class not registered" and I have found that a newer version of WindowsScriptingHost 5.6 (published 06/09/03) is available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0A8A18F6-249C-4A72- BFCF-FC6AF26DC390&displaylang=en I was thinking of reinstalling the version of WindowsScriptingHost 5.6 that I have installed now (downloaded and installed 08/02) or installing the newer version. Before I tried anything though, I thought I'd see if anyone had any suggestions or comments as I don't really have a clue. Thanks.
