INSTALLING ME PROBLEM
Please help. I tried to change the cd drive to a different
one because the one on the pc wasn't reading well. When I
changed it, I didn't have the correct software so it
didn't work. Then, I tried to install the old one back on,
but I don't have the software that came with it anymore. I
thought that reformatting the C drive might help but it
didn't. Now I can't install ME because it cannot read ME
from the CD drive. I don't know what else to do. HELP!
thanks. Tag: Error Msg Tag: 240830
Weird message on startup
Every time I reboot I get the same little window stating
that There is insufficient memory to perform the requested
task (or something to that effect). I close the window and
keep going fine. However, since this window does not allow
me to verify anything (as far as the message and what
program is trying to run) I have no idea of 1)what is
causing this and 2)How to get rid of the message.
Any ideas?
Thanks all. Tag: Error Msg Tag: 240828
File folder opening problem
When I double click on any folder, the "open with" menu comes up. When I
check the open sequence by right clicking on any folder, it shows 2 "open"
options plus explore. The first open links to 'open with' and the second
open does the normal thing and opens the file folder.
The file associations show an open and explore option for file folders, not
2 open options. Default restore does not help probably because the normal
associations are there plus the one extra 'open' that sits on top of the
right click menu.
How can I edit out the offending 'open'? Is there a place in the registry I
need to address?

Norton AntiVirus 2004 Problem
I recently had McAfee AntiVirus but the signatures expired.
I switched to Norton AntiVirus 2004 but have been having multiple of
problems.
First, setup completed successfully but I could not run a Manual Virus Scan.
AutoProtect, however, would load.
Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now Norton AntiVirus 2004 Autoprotect
will not work.
I did a virus scan using Symantec's website and no viruses were found.
Any help would be appreciated.

cluttered desktop
My desktop is cluttered with icons. Would it be less stressful on my system
if I created folders on my toolbar and moved programs to a designated
folder. ie I created a folder called 'security programs' and moved all my
security related links(9) to this folder. I created other folders and did
the same. I vaguely remember that desktop icons take up extra memory. If
I'm incorrect please advise. If it has no significant differerence then
I'll go back to my original desktop. It doesn't bother me to have all the
icons on my desktop, but if it helps my system to have them in folders, I'll
go the extra click. system: 320megs memory tia Richard

ME's startup doesn't go further than the green screen
All:
A few days ago I lost the use of Win-ME, as my primary OS, the other being
Windows 2000. When I startup, ME goes through the normal routine up to the
green screen of Windows -- but there are no programs to chose from, no
system tray, no start buttons. Something must have gotten wiped out and I
just can't figure which. I can't start any program because there are no
icons and control-alt-del doesn't have anything to close.

REPOST: need help Please!!!
I have a ScanOffix Pro InnoScan MAG DTS-6060 Scanner.
I haven't used it in a couple months and today I was
trying to scan something and all I got were these lines.
It would not scan my picture. It would show the square
outline of where the picture was supposed to be and a
faint outline of the person in the picture but the rest
was all these lines. I tried scanning in black and white
and got black and white lines. I just kept trying to scan
and everytime I hit "Preview" it would come up a different
pattern of lines and squares. It has never done this
before. I uninstalled it then reinstalled it but it didn't
help. It has two lights on the front and orange one and a
green one the orange stays on constantly I think its the
power light but the green one only comes on when you are
scanning something. Well now it will start to scan (you
can hear it and see the internal light start to move up)
then in the middle of trying to scan all the lights both
internal and external go off and then come back on but it
can't scan. Maybe one out of every six times you try to
scan it will actually do a full scan but all you get are
teh lines that cover the entire page they are all
different colors like a rainbow but you cant see anything
as there are no spaces in between the lines. I scanned a
photo with it a couple months ago and it
looked perfect. Well I decided to take apart the scanner
and see if there was anything wrong internally. I just
cleaned off the glass both inside and out and then I
checked the belt and it is really tight and hard to move.
I figure it might be the motor not allowing the belt to
turn. What do you think could be wrong? Is
there anything I can do? Thank you in advance.

Explorer has caused an error in <unknown>
Running WinME (OEM) on a Compaq Presario. Get "Explorer has caused an
error in <unknown>" as soon as desktop appears after boot. Don't know
what triggered this (helping a friend debug this) but the error keeps
coming up repeatedly if I close the error dialog. I tried reinstall by
booting from startup disk and running setup from Windows/options/cabs
but the error is still there after reinstall.
I tried doing windows update but get "IE has caused an error in
<unknown>". Netscape says it couldn't open a socket. However I do have a
good tcp/ip connection, I can ping my Linksys router with no problem and
got IP address from DHCP server.
So bottom line is I'm stuck with IE 5.x which won't work and since
windows update is based on IE I can't bring down IE 6.
What puzzles me is that I thought the reinstall would replace
broken/missing files but I still get the same desktop and errors after
the reinstall.
Unfortunately this system did not come with a CD so I can't wipe the HD
and just reinstall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NIS-Was unable to access Internet and Outlook
I have Norton IS. I have made it a habit to use LiveUpdate daily before
doing anything else on the computer. Did a download at the end of last week
and didn't pay attention to exactly what it was. I know it wasn't a virus
definition. It may have been something called "Sym. Redirector." I've been
fairly lucky with Norton until now. Whatever this was caused problems with
Outlook Express and Internet Explorer. My mouse would also not move around
the screen. All my other basic programs worked (Word etc.). Couldn't get
to the newsgroup to ask questions (my first thought) nor to the Symantec
website.
I used System Restore today (which I have never had to use before) and
Outlook and IE are now working. The problem now is that parts of NIS do not
work. I did a virus scan just in case there were some critters lurking
around. Nothing there.
Before I give any more details, I have called Symantec (they don't service
my version via phone anymore) and have worked my way through their articles
and instructions. I have stopped for the moment before I go on with their
last 2 options
(the others didn't work) I wanted to see what people at the newsgroup
thought or might be able to add and if anyone has had this experience.
Also,maybe there is a more specific group that would be helpful
I found through Sym's articles that it is not unusual to have problems with
Norton after doing a SR. Great!
One of the things they had me do was to use something called the "Hawking
Tool". Didn't work. The next suggestion is to 1) Download the latest virus
definitions using "Intelligent Updater." (It looks like I can still
download via Live Update.) I don't know what to do about this because it
looks like I may end up downloading the same darn thing that caused the
problems in the first place.
2)Uninstall and reinstall all Symantec programs that use virus definitions.
I won't be surprised if you tell me that this is what I will have to do.
I've never done a Uninstall/Reinstall of a program before, but that's ok.
My version is 2002 so will I have to Update everything from that time till
now? Goofy question I know. Can I avoid the problem causing download?
I apologize for the length of this. If there are any more questions, I can
probably supply the answer. I wrote down most everything I did and what
showed up on the screen when I did this today!!
Thanks!
