    - Can't boot up in safe mode Hi, To solve another problem, it's been suggested that I try to boot up in 'safe mode'. When I try the Start, Restart and press CTRL, or F8 or F5 or Shift F5 I can't seem to get the computer (Dell Dimension 4100 Pentium III) to begin life in the 'safe mode'. I'm somewhat chary of trying to deal with registry editing. Any constructive advice on dealing with other approaches to entering into 'safe mode' would be gratefully received. aloha, David C.

    - Control Panel Problems Whenever I click on any icon in my control panel an error message reading "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access this item." pops up. I cannot delete unwanted files or change anything on my computer due to this. I tried the tech support but I cannot get my ID # for the computer because the error message pops up when I follow the steps listed. If you could help me then I'd greatly appreciate it.

    - Random lockups My computer randomly freezes when trying to start programs. Could this be a hardware problem? when the computer freezes explorer stops responding and when trying to end task it I get a blue screen saying the system is busy. Could this be a hard drive error? it seems my computer takes longer to shut down all of a sudden. could a "dirty" reinstallation of Windows ME fix this? I've scanned with Norton 2003 Pro, Adaware 6, Spybot, CWShredder, and stinger, all upgrades installed and have found no sign of viruses or spyware. I have to restart like 10 times a day and its extremely annoying. Tag: Error messages in WINL.DLL Tag: 236037

    - URGENT - big problem Ok, this is going to take a while to explain, but basically my dad deleted windows. Using MS-DOS he ran the 'del *.*' command (or something similar) accidentaly in the C:\WINDOWS directory. Obviously not everything was deleted as some file are protected I think. After a while the computer began to hang and eventually it crashed. OK. When we tried booting up normally, we got a message saying something like 'Cannot find SYSTEM.INI. Bott with Emergengy Boot Disk and type SCANREG /RESTORE'. In safe mode we would get a message about a file called 'IFSHLP.SYS' missing. Next I created a boot disk (downloaded from the internet through my 98SE) for WinME, and used this to do the 'SCANREG /RESTORE' This did not affect the way safe mode failed but when the computer booted up normally we would get a message not only complaining about IFSHLP.SYS but also DISPLAY.SYS. Using the boot disk again I copied the IFSHLP.SYS from my Win98SE to the ME as a guess. This worked! The computer would now boot up in safe mode and in normal mode (but in normal mode it would still complain about DISPLAY.SYS). I did try copying DISPLAY.SYS from the 98, but the ME didnt like this. (something about an old version of ms- dos i think) But there are more problems, some big, some small. Our sound no longer works, the mouse drivers don't work, important stuff like RUNDLL32.EXE is missing (and to my sister's dispair their is no minesweeper). There are many files like RUNDLL32.EXE that I would think of as important, but obviously not protected. There is no way I can copy all of these files (from the 98) and hope that they work. We do not have a Windows ME CD apparently to reinstall windows, all we have is a 'Recovery Disk' (floppy disk) (this works as a boot disk, wipes hard drive clean and reinstalls windows to factory settings from a hidden partion on the HD) The good thing is our wireless network is working so we can back thing up to our other PC, but as I wasnt the one who set up the network I dont think I can repeat it when we reset the pc using the recovery disk. One thing I did think of, but I'm not so sure about is System Restore. Just before my dad messed up i installed WMP9Series which said it was creating a system restore point. I'm not quite sure how it works but i don't think it will recover the lost files. What I did think was that maybe because it recovers the settings of your PC (im not sure about this) maybe I can backup the system restore point, do a Recovery, reinstall software, and then use the System Restore to reconfigure the network. As I said I'm not sure how that works, so anyone who can help with a way of reinstalling WinME without a CD and without wiping HD clean using a recovery is appreciated. Or anyways to backup my network settings before wiping hardrive clean and then recovering these settings (I have a CD/RW drive if it is big to back up). Also maybe you know how to just re-extract the stuff from the CAB files in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS but this might not fix everything (esp. cos the only way I can get my sound drivers is from the recovery disk). Or maybe you know something else that will help. Any help is greatly appreciated. Tag: Error messages in WINL.DLL Tag: 236004

It keeps saying "Internet Mail is not registered properly. Please reinstall and try again... Error Number: 0x80040154." It used to work fine and started this problem when I got infected with adware.

    - Thanks! Over the past week or so, I have seen postings complaining about the "advice" given through this forum. I, for one, have posted a few times over the past year and your advice has been extremely helpful. I also periodically scan the postings and have picked-up a lot of valuable information. I used to be a computer user who "knew enough to be dangerous." Through this forum, I now know a lot more and have become less dangerous! Thanks for all your FREE (emphasis added) advice. It is truly appreciated. I do have one question. The main desktop P/C my wife and I use runs ME. I do have a laptop I use occasionally that runs Windows 98. Is there a specific newsgroup for Windows 98 users? Thanks, Tag: Error messages in WINL.DLL Tag: 235992

    - need good XP info site - MVP's only please Before I order my new computer, I wish to research some sites which would help me to decide how I want the store tech to initially setup the new system. (Some system features listed below) Can any MVP's recommend sites with easy to understand, accurate, up-to-date information on the subject, that can help address my concerns in the following areas? On-board memory - ideal size? - maximum? Recommendations for partition sizes for 120 to 160 GB hard drive? Suggestions for setting up XP supervisor controls (never used a NT based system before) Recommendations on use of XP with older programs such as MS Office Pro 97, Corel WordPerfect Suite 8, Corel Draw 8. How to configure computer to access programs on second computer via wireless link. New computer will be P4 - 2.6+Ghz with WinXP home and a hard drive of 120 to 160 GB. Suggested RAM - 512Mb. New computer will use dialup modem and will soon use ExpressVu's satellite internet service (one way high speed service that still requires a phone line for uplink but uses satellite for downlinks). Tech suggests using wireless link (802.11g) to allow old computer to access internet through new computer, and to allow both to share files (and programs?). Old computer is P2 - 350Mhz with Win ME, and cabling it to new computer is impractical. Thanks in advance for all assistance. -- Gil. If you get the facts first, You may not need to reconstruct your hard drive later! Please reply to the group. ----- Tag: Error messages in WINL.DLL Tag: 235991

    - Graphics card driver installation Hello: I have a Compaq Deskpro with a Rage ProTurbo AGP 2X graphics card. I installed an "alternate" driver provided by ATI that is supposed to add OpenGL functionality to this old graphics card, but Starry Night Pro, the only application I have that uses OpenGL, still reports that "OpenGL failed to initialize." I see no other indication that I have it at all. I understand that OpenGL itself is part of Windows; is that true? I was unable to uninstall the original driver as it didn't show up in the Add/Remove Programs list and I couldn't find any associated 63-character registry entries as discussed in the MS support article on the subject; but I installed the new driver anyway. Now everything seems to work right, and I have features I didn't before; I just didn't get OpenGL. And I have a mixture of the two drivers appearing in the registry. Is that likely to be the reason I'm missing OpenGL? If I uninstall this new driver and reinstall the original one, could I then get it unstalled properly? Could I go in the registry and delete references to the original files instead? Any ideas? Thanks. Regards, Joe Tag: Error messages in WINL.DLL Tag: 235950

    - How do I use a caddy? Recently my laptop had to be replaced because the problem was un-fixable. The repair shop was very accomodating and returned my old HDD with my new laptop, as half of my degree is on it. Unfortunately I was unable to perform a neat exchange of the old for the new HDD, so had to invest in a 'caddy'. This is where my problem lies: I have thus far been unable to find how to open the old HDD through the USB system. I'm not sure I'm making myself clear, but if you could help me I would be most grateful. A CD was included in the caddy pack, but proves unnecessary as the software is apparently already installed in ME and XP [OSs]. I was told a programme should open and run immediately after connection - but nothing happens. If it would be possible, please could you let me know, step by step, how to open my HDD? Thank you.

Run an up to date virus scan.
Here is a bit on your Wjview problem.

WINL.DLL is possibly a DownloaderTrojan.
