 - Booting up to Dos Anyone out there know the key(s) to press at boot up to dos command prompt without attempting to start windows. The DEL button will take you to Bios set up only. Tried F8, F1 etc etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (there is no boot disk to use to accomplish this). Thanks Ann Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218548

 - cd drive/ dvd-rom I have recently realized that my computer no longer recognizes that my DVD-ROM or CD Writer drives even exist. I have a small icon on the bottom right of my screen, next to the mouse icon, with a picture of a CD and a disk drive with a red circle and line through it saying Adaptec Direct CD Wizard, No supported CD-R/ CD-RW drive! In hindsight, it has been there for a long time (month or two?) but I never really thought much about it because I've not needed to use either of these drives until today. The DVD-Rom drive will at least open when the button is pressed, but the CD-Writer drive won't even open at all! The DVD-Rom drive does nothing when a disk is inserted into it. Further, when looking in the "My Computer" section, it no longer even shows the M: or N: drives as being there anymore. We have had this computer for several years and have been really happy with it and have had essentially no problems until now. It has had a few power outage type shut downs, but is on a power bar. The only thing I can think of that has recently happened is that we moved the computer to another room, but I think that small icon was there before that. Please help me as I'm frustrated and don't know what to do. My email is as above, yomcculloch@hotmail.com and my name is Mike McCulloch. I need to get these drives working again and would appreciate your help. Sincerely, Mike McCulloch Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218546

 - Me or XP? Should I upgrade to XP when I get my new HDD? I'm fairly happy with ME but XP is much more colorful... but is it better? I hear that there are more virus' and attacks made against XP, is this true? If so, should I be worried about it? Thanks for any help Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218539

 - scan disk Last time I scanned disk it found errors which were fixed. It also found some files that were unrelated and I had them store them in a folder so that I could check them out before deleting them. Now I can't find them to check them out. Could someone tell me where to look? Thanks, Eileen Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218536

 - ScanDisk Don't Work I have Windows Me. There was an error: the system froze and the hard drive made a repetitive noise for about 1 minute; afterwards the shutdown could be done. Upon restart, the "ScanDisk Thorough" started. After a few hours the system froze. I tried again with no success. For now, I disabled "ScanDisk" at start-up with "msgonfig", and the system seems fine. - What can I do to correct this situation? - Is the hard drive at fault, and have bad sectors, which cannot be repaired?

 - Shut Down Up until a few weeks ago when I shut down my computer using the shut down command on the drop down windows menu, my computer would close all programs and then the system would shut down and power off. In the last couple of weeks, with no change that I am aware of, the shut down command starts but then the system does not completely shut down and the screen goes black with a flashing cursor in left corner of the screen. The CPU will keep running and it cannot be turned off at the unit and we have to do a cold boot in order to get it back. Any assistance with the problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

 - Automatic Windows Updates Today for the first time I got a Windows Icon in my taskbar, clicked on it and it installed a Windows update that it had apparently down loaded previously at a time I was on the Internet. It instructed me to reboot and on reboot got message to wait while Windows was updated. I have always logged on to the Windows Update site and selected the critical updates I wanted, confirming that it was a valid MS update. Should this be reported as a possible virus?

 - Scan disk problem I have some program running in background that writes to hard disk continuously, even with all programs shut down except explorer and systray. Because of this, scandisk will not run, even on startup. Both scandisk and defrag must restart every few seconds. How can I find and eliminate this program? I tried restarting in "safe mode" and still get the error that scan disk restarted 10 times. I have McAffee virus and fire wall running. Nothing shows a virus. I don't know what else to try. Can anyone help. Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218512

 - control panel vanished HELP!! I was attempting to uninstall Internet Explorer to reinstall and I closed the control panel behind the add/remove programs box. When I did that, my control panel vanished. I have rebooted several times to no avail. I can open the control panel by the start button, from my computer, and from explorer, but when I open the control panel, nothing is there. It says at the bottom that the folder contains 31 items, but you can't see them nor can you right click inside the folder to get a menu. Inside the control panel is nothing. Absolutely nothing. I have Windows Millenium. Can anyone tell me how to get my control panel items back? I am desparate! Please email any help to me at <bookkeeper1705@earthlink.net>. Thank you!

 - Memory dump for data recovery Is there a way of dumping entire memory in WinME? What I'm really looking for is a data-recovery tool rather than debugging. There used to be a DOS utility which would search RAM (without dumping) for specific text and display surrounding areas. Anyone know of one for WinME? XP? Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218500

 - ActiveX error I am trying to "fix" a friends PC. On the desktop, going to start doesn't do anything. I can't get to any programs. When I try to browse the drive in windows explorer, I get the following message: "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page.

I went into safe mode to check things out, and nothing appears to be askew, but obviously there is. Does anyone have any ideas? Things to try? Thanks in advance for any help....

 - The data on the slave drive is changed? My slave drive has changed all it's folders and files to: Folders are listed as: DIR0000 DIR0001 DUIR0002 DIR0003...ETC Files are listed as: file00b7.chk file00b8.chk file00b9.chk...etc The type of files are listed as "Recovered File Fragments" I discovered all this when I tried a MS Back-up.It said so At one time I remember after a scan session it said errors could not be fixed because a log could not be written. Have done a full scan disk and seems ok. What happened? Can the files be retrieved? How? Thanks! Regards,. curtis Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218490

 - Iexplore error in URLMON.DLL and svchost quit program window I'm experiencing two problems that just appeared within the past week and may be virus connected. First, two unwanted websites have managed to display themselves, without my choosing them or ever having visited them before. They appear in both my desktop and in my Favorites list, each time I open the computer and one of them also appears, automatically, in my Internet Explorer Address window each time that I access the Internet Explorer function. Almost immediately after opening Internet Explorer, a window pops up saying that "Iexplore has caused an error in URLMON.DLL and Iexplore will now close." At that point, the entire Internet Explorer window closes automatically. The only way I can avoid this is to desktop the home page that I do prefer and open my IE window that way. I have no idea where these two sites have come from and how they can attach, automatically, to my desktop, my Favorites and become my home page, without my choosing them, as I've never accessed them, before. Second, starting four days ago, whenever I attempt to close my computer, a window appears that is identified as "svchosts" or "svchostc" and reads, "You must quit this program before you quit Windows. Click OK to quit the program and Windows or click Cancel to continue running the program and Windows." The problem is that when I click OK, after a few seconds, another window appears to the effect that the program is not responding, then gives me the usual three options of Wait, End Task or Cancel, none of which accomplishes anything. Meanwhile, my computer freezes and I cannot do anything except return to Start and commence the entire close down process, again, leading to the same svchost circular fiasco. Eventually, I only can close the computer by disconnecting the power cable. I cannot delete the "svchost" program because Windows uses it to run. Any suggestions or solutions would be welcome.

 - ME If I was to re-install Windows ME would it help or hurt anything that exist on my hard drive already? By this I mean installing on top of existing hard drive...not by re-formatting. I am just looking to clean up ME or replace any important files that have maybe been erased by accident. Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218440

 - microsoft works update detection Everytime i run microsoft works (v6)it adds MkDetect.exe to my registry, which is an update detection for works. the problem is that there is no such file on my computer so i cant delete it, and whenever i just delete the registry it comes back when i run works again. I also looked in all the microsoft works programs (database, spreadshead, task launcher, etc for menu options to disable but all i found was "Notify me of product updates from works" which i unclicked but it still shows up. any help would be greatful Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218439

 - HELP! Can anyone tell me how to fix the following HKLM\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\setup key does not have a drive letter Registry is corrupt Tag: Booting up to Dos Tag: 218424

Anyone out there know the key(s) to press at boot up to
dos command prompt without attempting to start windows.

The DEL button will take you to Bios set up only. Tried
F8, F1 etc etc. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. (there is no boot disk to use to accomplish
this).

Thanks
Ann
