    - SOS All of a sudden I am unable to connect to the internet. My modem is working all right, but when dialing I get this message: "The computer you dialed did not answer". It seems to me that this happened after I fixed some problems with Spybot S&D. I already used the restore feature and reinstalled Windows ME, all to no avail. On the other hand, I did experiment with my sound card options and at one time or another (don't remember exactly when, possibly when I tried to install 'Audio HQ' or even when I uninstalled and reinstalled the whole thing) I encountered three o four dialog boxes asking me whether I would like to keep or delete certain files. It told me that some programs may not work properly if I did delete, but they were not critical and it would do no harm to delete them and, click 'yes' to delete. So I did, even though I didn't really want to ( and never will again, for that matter) and my problem was 'de facto'. Is there any way to fix this situation without formatting the whole drive? I really hope there will be. Harry, old and desperate. Tag: Error Starting Program dialog box Tag: 249330

    - Copy Icon from One Application to Another I'm trying to copy an Icon from one application shortcut to another on the Desk Top and in the Start Menu. Can't drag & drop the Icon from one Properties>Shortcut>Change Icon window to another. And, can't find the Icon's file location. I've looked through the Icons in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SHELL32.DLL and searched the disks *.ico files and couldn't find the particular icon anywhere. Are there applications that come with their own unique sets of Icons that are NOT in *.ico files? So that they can only be used with their application?

    - Hide A: drive? I've spent half a day trying to make an Addonics Ultra DigiDrive Reader co- exist with the floppy drive on a Dell Dimension 4100. The short of it is that the floppy drive uninstalls itself in BIOS. It doesn't really make sense, since the reader is an IDE device. After calls and emails to Addonics, a bios upgrade and different combinations of master and slave, I've given up. The floppy works fine when the Reader is not attached. I hooked the thing up to one of my computers and had no problem. So the customer decides he can live without the floppy. I physically removed it, disabled it in bios. Computer boots fine, device manager does not show a FDD controller or a drive. BUT, A: drive still shows up in My Computer and Windows Explorer. If you click it in either one it locks the computer up tighter than a drum. His Panda Antivirus locks it up trying to check A: drive. It locked up trying to find my "default monitor" (looking for drivers on disk). So the obvious answer would be "don't click on it" and set Panda not to check it (if you can), make sure "floppy disk" is unchecked on any hardware installation. But sooner or later something is going to call for it and lock it up. So my question is... how do I get A drive to go away totally? The operating system is Millenium, so that's why I'm posting this here. -- -- What happens if you get scared half to death twice? -- Tag: Error Starting Program dialog box Tag: 249315

    - Compaq Quick Restore for Win ME I have a compaq computer that I've upgraded from an Athalon 1200Mhz to an Athlon64 3000+. I have all hardware setup correctly but when I start the computer it will not boot. I get CMOS and POST but the system freezes with "OS not found" message. The hard drive came with the computer and has ME on it and I know it was bootable before. In addition I tried using my compaq quick restore disks and they tell me the computer is not a compaq (presumably because of the motherboard is new). The restore will not work. I'm kinda mad a compaq. I should have a full version of ME. I have a license for it!! Where can I get a replacement Win ME CD set? Tag: Error Starting Program dialog box Tag: 249302

    - KB836528 - Texas fertilizer? Windows Update offers KB836528 (Mydoom, Zindos, and Doomjuice Worm Removal Tool) as a critical update with the following ominous message: The appearance of this update means that your machine is likely infected with one or more of these worms. How do they come to this conclusion? My up-to-date anti-virus product does not agree and gives the machine a clean bill of health. What are MS playing at?

    - Can't reduce size of Restore/Archive Whilst doing a virus check on my wife's machine I realised that the contents of C:_Restore/Archive has grown to 1.87gb with data going back to January! I changed the setting in Control Panel>System>Performance>File System to 414mb and restarted the system (several times) but the archive is stuck at 1.87gb. What can I do?

    - TAP132.DLL error message after installing SBCYahoo! Dail-Up CD Software After installing SBCYahoo! Dial-Up from a CD Rom sent by the company, I have had a very annoying Connectionmanager error message which pops up when I turn on my computer and when I try to connect to the internet with SBC Yahoo!. It says that connectionmanager has caused an error on TAP132.DLL. Connectionmanager will now close. This message repeats itself many times. I click on close, and the message reappears. Eventually it does not reappear...eventually. After calling tech support for SBCYahoo! Dial-Up, the technitian and I tried to create a new network icon as a shortcut to bypass that part of the internet connection on their software. When we did that I noticed that neither of the phone access numbers for SBC dial-up had hyphens listed on the Network window which pops up after clicking on Network on the lower left part of the My Computer window screen. I have a working AOL account which I am having no trouble with. That number has a hyphen listed, so we corrected all the numbers to include hyphens in both SBC dial up listings. When we tried to connect online with the new bypass link, I received a new error message reading Rundll32 has just caused an error on TAP132.DLL. So, I'm getting the same error now, from two different sources. The tech person said that this was not something they could help me with. That apparently there is a corrupted file somewhere. Is this something that can be fixed by uninstalling the SBC software and re-installing the program from another source, or is this fix going to be more involved... Thanks...SW Tag: Error Starting Program dialog box Tag: 249279

    - Scandisk Hangs - Among other things I'm working on rehabilitating a friend's computer. At the moment I'm in a deep hole in that I can't even get the poor thing to start up. Scan disk runs because I had to force the shut down - but it just hangs. I'll try starting in safe mode when I get home from work tonight but I thought I would drop this posting in case someone has an idea that will keep me from making things even worse than they already are. Assuming that is possible. It's a Dell machine - lower end Dimension L800r. It's been running about 4 years. AntiVirus running but probably never updated. Clearly loaded with spyware. Possibly virus infected (obviously). May be suffering from some ill advised repair attempts of their own as well as of mine - to be honest. Symptoms are extremely slow response and other types of bizarre behavior. They recently downloaded and installed a program called WinAntiVirus 2004. That was my biggest going in problem because - they reported that it pushed them over the edge on response - unfortunately I can't stop the program because the only thing that it is willing to run is the activation program - I couldn't get to the internet to do it - and I'm not sure I want to do that. I unchecked it in the msconfig startup tab - but I'm concerned that some of the little processes that are running may also be associated with it - so I hesitated from simply uninstalling it from add/remove programs. Does anyone know of this program and whether or not it is reputable. It looks shakey to me. Regardless though - can't do much now that scan disk hangs and I can't get a start. I was in the process of investigating each thing in msconfig-startup and unchecking the ones that looked safe. The last thing that I did was to uninstall a thing called Webenhancer. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated before I continue my journey. Tag: Error Starting Program dialog box Tag: 249209

    - what's this qki.exe file doing? I am tuning up my father's system (HP Pavilion with 1 GHz Athlon, 128 MB RAM 40GB HD) and boy did he have some serious adware! I've been going through Registry and carefully deleting the junk that placed itself on his system, and am curious about qki.exe. It keeps perpetuating itself into the Programs/ Startup folder. I've deleted it, and still can't kill the little (49.5kb) bugger. I had a hunch it might have something to do with C:\Windows\Applog cos there is a file there, qki.lgc, which I am guessing is related in some way, and I'm interested in learning how. I renamed the lgc file, deleted qki.exe but it still came back after restarting. What's more, a search on google, cnet, et al shows nothing. Could it be something Microsoft (nothing on their site) or HP (or some other OEM) in fact provided? I've used a couple of programs to assist with the cleanup and none of them show it is as a known quantity. Besides wanting to know if it is something I should keep or kill, how/when would something re-create itself- on power down or power up? During Msconfig.exe selective startup, if I uncheck it, it adds another version of itself! Hope it's not a bug! Thanks, -- Glenn G. Tag: Error Starting Program dialog box Tag: 249195

    - Long Wait-Time to Connect to Internet ? We have a vacation cabin in a very rural area. We have a dialup connection, and the speed varies, but is usually around 28k. Based on some research and in talking with others in the county, it appears there is no cure for this, as our home is very far away from the telephone central office or connection point. What we cannot understand is that it takes so very long to **initially connect** to the isp. It sometimes takes 10 or up to 15 minutes to connect. Every now and then, it will connect in 1 or 2 minutes, but it is never fast. I wondered is there are some modem settings that we could check and/or if there is a webpage that might discuss this. I have done many Google searches, but ALL of them talk about the overall speed of the connection itself, which is not what I am asking about. I am trying to improve the amount of time that it takes to make the **initial** connect to the isp. Any help on this one ??

Yes. You type EZTEXT.DLL in Google.

But to save you that, I imagine this would be the most helpful result:

I also got rid of the "EZTEXT.DLL" error. All I did was uninstall the IBM
Rapid Keyboard software.
