    - freezing & errors My computer "freezes" at least every other day--I get error messages often on a variety of things including "system resources dangerously low" and my MS Word program often has problems. I call my PC provider and get it back on track but it always ends up with trouble again. I have heard ME causes problems and XP or 2000 is better--any advice on if that could solve the problems?

    - Windows ME Hangs at Startup Help! I tried to start up Age of Empires and it said I needed Direct X 9. I went to Microsoft and downloaded it, at the end I got an error message on the blue screen of death. I re-boot the computer and it gets hung up on the "Microsoft ME" opening page. I tried to start in safe mode, but that doesn't work either. I don't know what to do because I even did a scanreg /restore on command prompt and that didn't work. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. PLEASE EMAIL ME AT TODDCEE@AOL.COM with Subject line DIRECT X. Tag: Java 2 SE, v1.2 & v1.3 vs Microsoft VM Tag: 243585

    - System configuration Does anyone know how to do a "cleanup" in the System Configuration Utility? I know you can unclick check-marks and click 'apply', then the system reboots. However, I have this nasty Kazaa thing that keeps coming up, even after unchecking it. There is a button that says "cleanup", but does it clean up the checked boxes??? Which is the proper way? I wonder if this is what is causing my Explorer errors? Thanks, Tina Tag: Java 2 SE, v1.2 & v1.3 vs Microsoft VM Tag: 243579

    - Startup Disks How do I create a startup disk for Windows Me? The instructions online lead me to this message: Windows needs the disk labeled 'Windows Millenium Edition' to continue. Which I don't have, and I can't create one manually as I don't have a Windows 98 Startup disk - how do I get hold of one of those? Any help apprieciated, thanks.

    - ScanDisk Lock-Up Saturday afternoon I was tooling along in Windows ME doing the little things I do everyday. I had a few programs open, was online (dial-up) and creating stationery in OE when suddenly everything froze up solid. CtlAltDel wouldn't work so I flipped the switch on the surge protector, waited half a minute, then flipped it back on. I expected to have a run through ScanDisk and when it came up it had all my drives in its list--the 20 GB C, the 8 GB D, and an external drive I keep backups on--an 80 GB Maxtor that I acquired new last year. ScanDisk went through the C and D drives with only a few restarts--but when it was half-way through the G it locked up, so I had to power off again and start over. The subsequent ScanDisk attempt locked the computer up promptly, so I powered off again and unplugged the G drive from its USB port. Once more I powered up and ScanDisk behaved normally--but now I can't have G plugged in at boot-up because ScanDisk loads to check it and before it or I can do anything ME is locked up again. However, if I plug the external in after boot-up, a single-pane Explorer window opens for it and I can double-click and view what's on it; I can also access its files from my graphics program! But if I close its initial window then try use to Windows Explorer or My Computer to browse it the 'puter locks up solid with the G drive busy light on. The external drive has about 10 GB of files on it. I don't run anything from it--not even installs--nor do I link to its files when I use them in stationery, etc.--but I'd saved a couple of jpgs with normal names to it that day. I've since played with the piece of stationery that seemed to be the troublemaker, but nothing's gone wrong--and both the C and D drives are behaving in WE and My Computer. I haven't installed any new programs since May 8. What can or should I do about this? I haven't tried a Restore although I have a choice of two available from Friday, because I wasn't sure if I should have the G drive plugged in to do that. Is there any way I can get ScanDisk to finish its job?? Any help much appreciated! carol Tag: Java 2 SE, v1.2 & v1.3 vs Microsoft VM Tag: 243558

    - No Windows - Noel I couldn't reply to the response you gave me on my first post. Nothing shows up on the Safe Mode other than those two files from McAfee. I'm using Microsoft ME and I've installed a 3rd party DVD using the USB connection and a D- Link Wi-Fi card (which was all working until...I tried to remove the kazaa icon in the tray). System crashed and only rebooted to the screen without any icons. I tried using the System Disk, but the DVD doesn't respond. I changed the sequence from Hard drive to CD in the bios but that didn't work either. I can use the F8 button to get to the normal, safe mode, or step by step. Here's step by step: process the sytem reistry? create a starup log file (bootlog.txt) enable SMARDRV disk cache loading and initializing IFSHLP.SYS sriver load all windows drivers vnetsup.vxd ndis.vxdjavasup.vxd vnetbios.vxd vredir.vxd dfs.vxd PELMOUSE.VXD MRTRATE.VXD C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VSHINIT.VXD TURBOVBF.VXD msmouse.vxd I then get the mainscreen, ms logo sound and the McAfee logo.

    - Explorer won't open After I downloaded a critical update for Windows ME a few days ago, I began getting the following error message "Explorer has caused an error in SHLWAPI.DLL. Explorer will now close." This now occurs every time I try to click on My Documents, My Computer, or access the Control Panel from the Start button. Explorer will no longer open so I can look at my files. I know it's there because it will still open up from the Explorer bar on Internet Explorer. IE works fine. Everything works fine, except for hot keys linking to Explorer to list files. I also get an error message similar to the one above but with SFG012B.DLL when I click on Start, Search for Files or Folders on my Desktop. I can access the Control Panel and Recycle Bin via the Explorer bar on Internet Explorer, but if I try clicking on the Recycle Bin icon or the Control Panel via the Start button, I get the same SHLWAPI.DLL error message. Any suggestions? This has been extremely disruptive. Rob Tag: Java 2 SE, v1.2 & v1.3 vs Microsoft VM Tag: 243484

This is the message I receive when I try to update, any ideas on how to rectify this situation would be most appreciated: To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.

To run as the local administrator in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003: Click Start, and then click All Programs (or right-click Windows Update if it is available). Right-click Windows Update. Click Run as on the menu that appears. Do one of the following: Enter the password for the administrator. Enter the user name, domain name, and password of a different user account that has administrative permissions on this computer. To run as the local administrator in Windows 2000: Click Start, right-click Windows Update, and then click Run As on the menu that appears. Do one of the following: Enter the password for the administrator. Enter the user name, domain name, and password of a different user account that has administrative permissions on this computer. If the option to run as the local administrator is not available: Click Start, right-click Windows Update, and then click Properties.

Java 2 SE, v1.2 & v1.3 vs. Microsoft VM: is there a difference between the
two besides an obvious version date? Does the Sun product replace the MVM?
I have the Java Web Start console on my desktop.

There are three Java entries in IE Tools/Internet Options/Advanced; should
they be checked or unchecked with this updated Java product? Or is the new
Java version only for developers? If so, I'm not one and have no need for
this program. Are both equally functional for surfers?
Thanks for clarifying this.
Bob
