    - compressing files I have created a web project in microsoft greetings. When I try to email it Nortons Antivirus comes up with a message that it recommends that I compress the file. I went into windows help to find out how to compress a file and it suggested that I go into My Computer and select the drive I want to create a compression folder in. Then it says to choose new from the file menu and then click compression folder. When I get to this menu there is no option to choose compression folder, only Folder and Shortcut. Is there some other way that I can compress a file. Tag: Configuration Warning Tag: 215166

    - May Be OT Problem, But I'm Going To Try Anyway. (I'm only posting this after a number of unsatisfactory emails from NTI support; those kind of emails that treat users like idiots and don't address the questions asked.) I'm running Windows ME with NTI CD Maker Software. Since I began using this burning software, it has been bullet proof. Over the past year, they've had several updates, all of which have worked without problems. And now, their latest update gives me this message after install and won't run. 'The CDMkr32.exe is linked to missing export SKINDIALOG.DLL:SetSkinIniFile.' First, the file mentioned above is not 'missing'; it is in the folder where it should be. NTI sent me another copy of the file, but this didn't change anything. This file is also present (same version) in all previous versions of NTI CD Maker. I've even tried installing the software in C:, rather than the Program Files Folder, but the second update doesn't give an option as to where you want it installed and goes ahead and uninstalls the program in C: and puts it in Program Files, so, that didn't work. I've gone through several install cycles, including disabling all running programs. My suspicion is that it is an NTI problem, (given how reluctant software producers are to admit they have a problem) but if anyone has an idea that the problem could reside in Windows, or my system, I'm wide open for suggestions. Thanks for taking the time to read this rather long post, but I would really appreciate any suggestions, no matter how wild they may be. (I can run the program without the update, but the problem is NTI has not been forthcoming as to the reason for the update.) Tag: Configuration Warning Tag: 215160

    - Hibernation My computer doesn't seem to want to go into hibernation. The screen goes black but the computer itself never completely goes off. I think it might have something to do with my mouse. It's a "IntelliMouse" from Microsoft. The red light stays on, as does the computer. When you move the mouse and the screen reapears from black, the cursor is very slow and whatever programs you click load slow as well. I can't shut down or restart my computer anymore either. The screen makes the noise it has always done when clicking restart/shut down, but then the cursor and computer freeze when it gets to the light blue screen, and you have to just turn off the monitor. Is it indeed my mouse that is causing the trouble or something else? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Tag: Configuration Warning Tag: 215152

    - Startup Problem Please Help When I boot up my computer, it doesn't get past the title screen for Windows ME. It does not even get to the desktop. I have tried switching it to safe mode and the same thing happens. It says "Windows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2 %1: %2" What can I do? Is there a way I can get to a dos prompt or to my desktop? Tag: Configuration Warning Tag: 215151

    - windows me errors Hi, my wife and I recently upgraded from our emachines 600is to a much newer model. When I went to get some files off our old computer, it won't boot up anymore when it worked ok before it sat idle for a week. When I try to turn it on, it starts booting, but then I get a message that reads 'cmdninst has caused an error in sysdm.cpl'. After I hit close, I get an error that reads 'msgsrv32 has caused an error in setupx.dll'. After that, it just stops booting and stays in the wallpaper screen. Anyone have any ideas?

    - Regedit/SysEdit/MSconfig Here's what's happening. I am trying to troubleshoot my pc, but I can't troubleshoot when I can't access any programs. The Issue: Whenever I go to to the "run" command under the start menu and type in any of the following, "regedit", "sysedit" or "msconfig" the computer acts like it is about to open them up and then simply doesn't open it, or opens one of them up but closes it immediately. I can't gain access to any of these tools. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be deeply appreciated. Tag: Configuration Warning Tag: 215145

    - MyDocs.dll Anybody have an idea why all my net apps are trying to use the above file for accessing the internet? Info goes off to a site seemingly owned in Canada (Alberta) although the address info is hokey when I looked it up: it listed a suite in the CN tower, which is in Toronto last time I looked, and houses no businesses I'm aware of. This happens with Xnews, Outlook, Opera, Mozilla. Did full scans with AVG, Spybot, AdAware, And online scanners at Symantec and Panda, and a DOS disk. Nothing, all clean. Outgoing ports are 1294, 1296, 1298 TCP. This doesn't happen on the 2k or BSD boxes here. I googled it to death but no usable info. -- "Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor." Horace (65 - 8 BC); Roman poet.

    - slow context menu - registry entries? I've been having a problem with slow system response to right mouse clicks: sometimes takes two or three tries for the system to provide the context menu sometimes it might take 10 seconds or so to respond sometimes it responds immediately So far I've tried using a different mouse (with its different drivers), running the Dell diagnostics on all the hardware, using TWEAKUI to rebuild the system files, preventing my anti-virus program from loading (Norton), dinking with all the mouse options, decreasing the graphics board's hardware acceleration (via device manager), etc, etc. I googled and noticed that many people have had this problem, but nothing I read indicated a reliable fix ...So I thought I'd post another more cry for help - has anyone discovered a fix for this problem?

It sounds like an error usually generated at system boot when there is an
error in config.sys. The only confusing thing is that it occurs in "line
67".
