    - Defragmentizing I have had my computer for three years and only recently have heard about degragmentizing. I have stopped my screen saver as has been suggested. I Have the computer running constantly for forty eight hours and according to the menu I have completed 2% for the disc. IS THIS NORMAL? Can I ruin anything by having the desktop on constantly without a screen saver. How vital is it to degragmentize? I would appreciate some information on this. Thank you.

    - Gnarly error at boot up Hello: Hoping someone can help me diagnose this error and offer a fix. When I boot my Sony VAIO notebook running WinME, part way through boot up the Windows ME splash screen goes black, then I get a blue screen saying an error has occurred. The error message is: File Name: Ds1(01) + 0000D9C2 Error: 0E : 0028 : FF0A8AE2 At this point, my machine is hung and CTRL+ALT+DEL does not work. If I do a hard reboot at this point, I can load into Safe Mode, but my USB port appears dead, so my USB CDROM and floppy drives don't work. Any ideas on source of problem &/or how to fix this? I'd really appreciate a reply to my email (crm0627@yahoo.com) as well as to the newsgroup. Thanks a lot, -Craig Tag: Folder view option not saved... Tag: 209661

    - Out of Memory In fact this problem is the same under WINDOWS95, WINDOWS88SE and WINDOWSME. I have three locally networked systems running under each of these OSs in my little home office. They are connected in a TCP/IP network on an ETHERNET hub with DHCP services provided by an ADSL router on the same hub (this LAN works fine, so does the DSL link). On each system I have a problem running any additional programs when OUTLOOK and IE have been started. It takes different forms, among which: - program does not load citing "insufficient memory" - program refuses to go into specific routines citing "insufficient memory" - program or computer stops responding - the system bluescreens on me - system asks to close tasks because of low memory - in WORD the spell checker does not want to run due to insufficient memory - monitoring software shows very low or zero available memory Physical memory is 320M on W95, 256M on W98SE and 128M on WME (so sufficient in each instance). On top of that I have fixed but VERY LIBERAL virtual memory settings on each system, and I thought this extension would be exploited whenever RAM runs low (of course to the detriment of speed, but without problems). The same software shows very low virtual memory usage (typically far below 10%) I do have some background tasks always active (NORTON AntiVirus AutoProtect, SYGATE FireWall), but again, if in doubt I thought virtual memory would take the burden. I even have a very small program I would like to stay resident (CHRONOGRAPH, picking up an atomic clock signal every hour), but have taken out because it disables the running of more immediate and important tasks. Anybody out there who can - explain this behaviour - possibly suggest a fix Actually I thought MS would be the right source, but they insist on a paid support contract before wanting to speak to me at all and the knowledge base does not help me either. Looking forward to your responses, with my best regards and gratitude for your trouble, Willem Tag: Folder view option not saved... Tag: 209657

    - No middle ground. I have a program that will only display in the Maximized setting even though it used to display the re-sizable windows. I can Minimize it, but when I right-click the icon, Restore is no longer an option, only Maximize. Conversely, when it is Maximized, the Restore button (mid upper-right windows button) no longer works, only Minimize. I was told that this is a known glitch and there is a fix (adjusting something in the registry) but I could not locate it in the Knowledge Base. Can anyone help? Tag: Folder view option not saved...

    - Windows Explorer - Folder Pane Missing I recently had a problem starting Windows ME so used scandisk to detect and fix some problems. Then I restored my system back to the previous day. When I was done all of that I was able to successfully start ME. However, since then, when I open up Windows Explorer I don't get the folders displayed on the left hand side of the window. An empty pane is displyed with just an X in the top right hand corner of the pane, which allows me to close the left pane. Then the window just looks like the "My Computer" window. I tried the Menu options, i.e., View, Explorer Bar, Folders. That didn't change anything. Any tips or tricks on how to recover the folder pane in Windows Explorer?

    - Explorer has caused an error in kernel32.dll Whenever I am on Internet Explorer for a little while, I get an error message that reads "Explorer has caused an error in Kernel32.dll. This program will now close." Once I attempt to close Internet Explorer, the computer freezes and the only way I can exit IE is to end task in the close program box. It usually happens when I click on the Favorites option in the toolbar or when I click on the address bar, and once when I right clicked on something. This only occurs when I am online through Internet Explorer. I have searched and read several forums, but people have too many varying solutions, therefore I am unsure as to which one I should attempt. I hope someone has a solution to this most irritating problem, and thank you in advance. PS- I tried updating all of the ActiveX controls and Internet Explore itself, didn't help.

I set all my folders to standard view which I don't necessarily like but to fix the immediate problem it helped. But then while surfing the internet today. I got two Runtime errors, I didn't see a common issue between the two sites. Is there a fix for this?

    - Lost icons after installing download from Man U pages I had a call from a friend who has a computer running WindowsME. While she was out her son visited Man U. web site and downloaded and installed something. From what she says it sounds like it would have been a wallpaper. Now whenever she starts the PC she cannot see all her icons. From what she describes part of the screen is taken up by a picture (or part of a picture) of a Man U shirt. The "Start" button does nothing at all. When she tries to open "My documents" or "My computer", icons for which are still visible, she gets an error message which goes something like "Security settings prohibit running Active X". This is making it difficult for her to track down the problem. Sorry to be so vague but I haven't seen this myself, she's hundereds of miles away and I'm finding it difficult to get really clear descriptions from her. Also I'm not very familiar with ME as all my PCs are on Windows 2000. I'm hoping someone else out there has seen this sort of problem and can tell us how to fix it...

    - Explorer has caused an error in MSHTML.DLL (after load AdAware) Running Win ME on Dell Dimension system. Last night I downloaded, installed, & ran free version of AdAware which was available through AOL. When it completed, there was an error message in pop-up window which ties up the system. The error recurs when I reboot. The error window says: "Explorer has caused an error in MSHTML.DLL. Explorer will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer." When I click "close" button in the pop-up error message window, the window disappears, then reappears in about a second. I can't do anything else but repeatedly close the error window which then reappears. If I'm quick with my fingers I can Ctrl-Alt-Del before the error recurs, and from there power down. When system reboots, same error recurs, after ScanDisk completes its run. I searched Microsoft WinME support site and Lavasoft (maker of AdAware) site for help but couldn't find anything relevant.
