    - Remove Win98 CAB folders ? Three weeks ago I upgraded Win98 to WinME using an upgrade disk. Everything went well and the PC is stable. I have now been to Control Panel/Add Remove and uninstalled the option to revert to Win98. The WinME upgrade has put its install files into c:\windows\options\install folder. I still have a c:\windows\options\cabs full of the Win98 install files, and taking up 141Mb. I presume that it is safe to just delete this folder ? I still have the original Win98 OEM install cd, and don't envision ever having to re-install Win98. The PC is getting near the end of its useful life (300Mhz P2 and just 3.2Gb hard drive) and HD space is at a premium now. Also, under the ..cabs folder are other folders that the 98 OEM install (HP) created, folders called CHANNELS, CONTENT, Money98, MSWorks, oldinf, OLS, PWS, TOUR and wininf. These are all features/programs that I do not use or have installed. All have files that pre-date the original installation. Safe to just delete these folders too ? Deleting the cabs folder and subfolders will free 302Mb of disk space, which I find I now need as I sometimes get low disk space warnings and have to run disk cleanup every few days. I am fairly certain that deleting these folders will be just fine and dandy, but would love a 2nd opinion or two.

    - AVG Disablility/Limitations I asked this question sometime ago: Which one is better----Norton, McAfee or PCCillin? After a long thread all the Gurus of this NG were agreed on AVG (Free Edition). :-(*) I did that after removing PCCillin (Which came with computer). 8-) Now I was struck with Chernobyl Virus with AVG real-time enabled. ;( All my EXEs (Also included in ZIPs) were infected on all partitions. AVGW.EXE itself was infected (My guardian needs a guardian :)). :-@ I used my old AV CD and Clean it. :-(*) What are the AVG limitations? Does it works on small viruses only and disable to locate big ones? If I start not to rely on it then what is the need of it? Why all these Gurus suggesting a less powerful tool leaving computer in danger? :-? Though I have survived but I am still using AVG because I really admire the suggestions/efforts of these Gurus and hope they will come with some strong logic. Don't even think my AVG was not updated, its quite an old virus. Farhan Tag: Explorer errror Tag: 245219

    - save data before reinstall help Hello, While running an online virus scanner my Norton Antivirus popped up a warning and I followed the prompts. After a few minutes the system became unstable and I had to shut it down. When I restarted some of my data was gone. For instance if I click on "favorites" some links are there, but many are not. If I click on my "casio" icon none of my digital photos are there. I ran a couple of data recovery programs and they found nothing. Somewhere along the way Windows ME became REALLY screwed up so I changed that drive over as a slave. I then went to "my computer" and did a search on the bad drive for "favorites" and "casio". Both searches found all of the missing data and what appears to be numerous duplicate folders with the same name. Some of them have the same data and others have only partial or no data at all. This affects more than just to two mentioned folders used as examples. What I need to do is make back ups of my data and then wipe the drive and start again. Is there a method to this or a program that I can run that will help me with this. I will be doing back ups to a cd burner and the drive is 100 gig at about 40% full. Some thoughts I had were to delete data as it is transfered to the cd to eliminate clutter. I also was concidering running a program that compares like files to eliminate duplicates and when everything is complete I was going to use the Western Digital site to "write zeros" to this drive so I can have a clean drive to start from. Any advice offered would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, jeff Tag: Explorer errror Tag: 245139

    - Windows ME Restore and Autorun glitches: any advice to solve? I have recently made several changes to my Compaq Presario 5000, running Windows ME. I now have a situation where System Restore Points are not being retained (I can create a restore point, but when I go back, they are not there.) The computer also does respond to Autorun when I insert CD-ROMS into my internal or external drive (Yes, I do have "Autorun Notification checked for both drives.) I did a Restore point set before making several modifications, and noted a previous restore point reflected at that time, but none since and all the old ones are gone. The modifications were that I installed an additional 256K RAM (to now total 384) plus a second (85GB) internal hard drive to the system. I encountered no real problems installing, formatting and having the system recognize these additions. I then tried to install and run Pinnacle Studio 8. While this software seemed to install properly, I have ongoing hangups in the process, it was not able to recognize my CD burner, etc. I have done several deinstall/reinstalls of Studio, downloaded a registry patch for this s/w, etc. Studio has continued to de-evolve in its ability to operate and I have picked up the restore point/autorun issue. Any sage advice for "nip and tuck" solutions, or am I facing the dreaded "system restore" option? I also have a Windows ME installation disk, so I could try to reinstall just the operating system, but do not know how that would impact programs already installed, data on the hard drive, MSIE 6, etc. I have backed up all of my data, including Outlook Express mail and address book, but I am concerned about the ability to run other software that I have installed. All ideas most gratefully accepted, Brian Tag: Explorer errror Tag: 245069

    - driver not loading. ntkern.vxd I just put win Me on an old win 95 computer that had crashed (I reformated the drive before upgrading). I previously had cable modem to the internet. after the upgrade, I cannot connect to the internet. When I look in device manager under the ethernet adaptor it gives me the message "the NDIS.VXD, NTKERN.VXD device loaders for this device could not load the device driver (code 2)." I searched my hard drive and I do not have ntkern.vxd. I do have ndis.vxd in c:/windows/system. I added it to c:/windows.system/vmm32. I looked over my old win 95 installation disc to see if I could extract ntkern from it, but it isn't there. I scanned my win Me disk, but it isn't there either. Apparently I need it for running the ethernet card. Any suggestions? Tag: Explorer errror Tag: 245018

After I got rid of the trojan with CWShredder....I no longer had a copy of notepad.exe on my ME computer, and no way of reinstalling it. Any ideas? Thanks! Tag: Explorer errror Tag: 245016

    - Opening Slowly I'm experiencing a weird "slowness" problem that manifests itself with documents and web sites. If I double-click on a Word document to open it, it takes forever (60-90 seconds) to open. If I start Word (which only takes a second or two), then go to File/Open and open the same document, it opens quickly. Similarly, if I click Start/Run and enter a website (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com) it takes forever to open. If I start Internet Explorer and type the same website address, it opens quickly. In both instances, the mouse pointer turns into the hourglass icon when the pointer is positioned over the taskbar. The machine is up-to-date on all Windows updates, is virus- free (according to NAV and McAfee) and spyware-free (according to Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D), and freshly defragged. Any ideas what might be causing this? Tag: Explorer errror Tag: 245014

    - minimal drivers on startup I'd like to boot up WinME with the absolute minimum amount of drivers and TSR's so that I can play my games (for example, Superbike 2001) running smoother without unnecessary programs running in the background. I figure running a selective startup through the System Configuration Utility would be the best way to go about that. My question is, which items do I absolutely need to keep checked in order for the games to run properly (ie., sound, video, mouse drivers, direct x, etc.). The names of some items aren't very descriptive, so unchecking them is uncertain what effect it will have on the system. I'd like to prevent Norton Antivirus from starting up at all, as well. Can I uncheck all static VxDs and startup items? How about any items in system.ini and win.ini? Tag: Explorer errror Tag: 244988

    - EXE files won't run! A friend of mine has a Windows ME system that developed a terrible problem after a reboot. No .EXE program will run. When she tries to launch an .EXE file, the unknown file type window opens to ask what program to open "EXPLORER.EXE" with (or whichever program is being opened). We can't get any program to open, EXCEPT through file association. For example, we can open a document after telling the system that .DOC files are opened with Word. Then Word will launch, strangely enough. But try to run Word by itself and the .EXE fault occurs. The System Restore program is an .EXE file, or we'd run that to restore the registry. Also, and I guess that this shows the deep-level file-type associations have been clobbered, all .EXE programs show up without their icons. Hoping someone can point me to a file or files that are probably missing. Thanks in advance, Martin Murray Tag: Explorer errror Tag: 244981

    - ~7583836889.TMP (Yes, people, another one....) Hi. Like so many in the weeks past, I am getting that God forsaken error message when I start up Windows...: "Explorer has caused an error in ~7583836889.TMP, Explorer will now close". And of course, by letting it do so, I am left with a blank desktop (no icons or anything) and a mouse pointer, forcing me to do an improper hard shut down, only to have the same problem when I reboot. I have seen a lot of the previous posts of this problem, the solutions do not work for me... 1. I ran Norton Anti-Virus (with updates and such), came up clean... 2. I ran an Anti-Spyware program from AOL (thats my ISP), that didnt solve it. 3. I ran a different Spyware/Adware detection program, something called X-Cleaner, or somthing from www.spywareguide.com , that didn't help... 4. I booted into Safe Mode and manually deleted the program, but when I reboot normally, it seems to re-create itself back in the C:\WINDOWS\TEMP folder... 5. When I just tried to do a regular delete, it says that the file is being used by Windows, and doesn't allow me to do so. If ANYONE has a suggestion or ANYTHING, one that WORKS, then darn it, let me know PLEASE!!! -Mitch Tag: Explorer errror Tag: 244972
