setupx.dll fix for Win
I had a problem trying to fix the following error message and ended up
posting a request for help in the Win Me NG and subsequently in the Win 98
NG;
"Rundll32 has caused an error in setupx.dll"
Evidently a gal by the name of Krystyna offered the following fix a couple
of years ago, and it appears from the postings in Computing Net to have
resolved the problem many times. In case someone is interested for future
reference, I have copied her fix;
Copy and paste these lines exactly as they are, into Notepad, starting at
Regedit4, and including everything down to the last inverted commas.
Save it as SETUPX.REG in My Documents and then double click the file to run
it.
The registry entries will be edited and hopefully all will be well again.
Good luck.

Re-initalize Me upgrade of W98
Lately my computer is 'freezing up' and I am unable to regain control
with <ctl-alt-del>. Re-booting brings up Scandisk which reports that
lost file fragments have been recovered into memory.
I knew it was only a matter of time before a windows critical file would
be affected. That time appears to be now. Several USB functions NO
LONGER WORK, BSOD's appear frequently and lockups occur almost daily.
Windows Restore function does not correct the problem.
Part One
I have the Win ME upgrade installed over win 98. What options do I have
about reloading Windows? Must I reinstall on a clean drive, or can I
force Windows to reinstall over itself? Install Win 98 first?
Part Two
Do I have to 'force' the Microsoft update site to reinstall the security
updates, or will it automatically detect that they are no longer
installed on my machine, or are the files saved somewhere on my machine,
for reinstalling?
Part Three
What can I do BEFORE a reinstall which would save me from having to
download large files over a DIALUP connection? (e.g. I already have the
IE 5.5 installer files saved on a separate hard drive). Also, I have a
CD burner.
Computer is Pentium II - 350Mhz, 256Mb RAM, 2 x 6.4 GB HDD's, CD-RW,
Win ME over Win 98.
Windows and programs install to 'C:'(about 4GB used) but most program
user data files are stored on the separate 'D:' drive, including 'My
Documents' and Mozilla profile data.
Before I proceed, I'm going to get as much info as I can so that I can
make the reinstall smoothly. Thanks

script errors
I have been having serious problems with ME. The registry
has been getting scrambled. This was after doing security
updates. Have tried reinstalling win. tried fixing with NU
but it is getting worse. now Nu will not run because of
script errors line 154 and 261. Downloaded script-
SCR56EN.EXE . But all it does is install itself. and there
is no explanation on how to use it. Restore was not an
option, all restore points were gone after the box
crashed. GoBack is not installed.
ME has been giving me problems on this box since day one.
When I have tried to reinstall it the installation never
goes smoothly. There are always errors or blue screens.
Is it possible I have a bad CD from MS? it was a brand new
in the wrapper from MS disc. From what I am seeing and
hearing ME is not a very stable system. My XP laptop fixes
itself if there ever is a qlitch or I do something
stupid.
Should I get XP and rebuild the hard drive? Tag: Having trouble starting my comp Tag: 223958

Can't install Flash player
HI all -
I have been trying to install the Flash player, but, when I click the
Install icon on the website to install nothing happens.
I have followed the instructions on their troubleshooting list and done the
uninstall. When I run the uninstall, it says the uninstall of the Flash
player was successful. ??
I can't find anything to indicate that the Flash player has actually been
installed. When I try to view a Flash item I get the empty box with the red
X in the upper corner. I had the Flash player loaded before and it was
working perfectly, but, suddenly it's not there anymore, and I can't seem to
install it again.
Any suggestions as to what might be blocking it fro installing? I disabled
my AV and anything else I thought might throw up a read block, but, still no
go.

Windows ME Password
I have always had a password set up to enter Windows ME.
However, just recently the password login comes up but, if
I click on cancel (which I did inadvertently the first
time I noticed this), it will override the password and
let me in. I tried to go into "Settings/Control
Panel/Passwords" to rectify this matter; however, I do not
have a "Change Password" tab on my Password Properties
box.
Another thing - just recently upon booting up - just prior
to, or simultaneously with, the password login coming up,
I also get a message that "The IPHLPAPI.DLL file cannot
start". This does not happen every time I boot, but
sporadically. I am wondering if this is associated with

TEMP files?
Hi,
I've been out of the tech loop for a while now, so I'm not
clear on this anymore.
Used to be that in order to optimize performance one
deleted all found *.tmp files. However, trying to prepare
my ME edition pc today to scandisk, I found a few hundred
of these .tmp files, and was hesitant to delete them.
They were in the Windows folder:

Are these safe/advisable to delete?
