WindowsME Hanging up
I have a problem with WinMe hanging up after I log on. I
have downloaded all sorts of info from Microsoft and have
a question. As long as I have the system set to Selective
System the system runs with no problem. Once I click on
normal settings and reboot, the system hangs up.
Is it ok to leave the system on selective settings while
trying to evaluate the problem? I think I have it limited
to a driver problem. Currently going through the process
of elimination.
Can anyone help? Advise? Would appreciate it. Tag: Millenium Edition-Computer does not shut down it restarts Tag: 225280
Need to click mouse many times to get it to respond
Hello
I am having a problem with using the mouse to navigate.
It seems that no matter what program I am using (Word, IE,
etc,), I have to click my mouse button many times (2-4x)
before it responds.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thank you Tag: Millenium Edition-Computer does not shut down it restarts Tag: 225279
Remove "Temporary Internet files" automagically
Hi.
1. Is there a way to clean the TIF on startup?
Something like the TweakUI "Paranoia" settings will be the best solution.
2nd best will be a utility that will do it and I could run from the Startup folder.
2. The same applies to \Windows\Temp
BTW, regedit is a valid option.

I have a clients computer running Me that whenever you
try to access anything through My Computer, or the
Control Panel, etc, the following message is displayed:
"Explorer has caused an error in FTAP.DLL. Explorer
will now close."
I can find nothing in the knowledge base even close, nor

corrupted drive
I've been using ME since it came out. I've never had any
serious problems at all until now. My C drive is an 80
GB drive on IDE1. My D and E drives are a 160 GB drive
split equally. All of a sudden following a lockup I
rebooted and scandisk ran and said like ten folders were
corrupted on the D drive and it fixed it automatically.
The folders are all garbage now... This keeps happening
with anything I install now. Western Digital's utilities
say the drive is fine. PLEASE HELP!!!! Tag: Millenium Edition-Computer does not shut down it restarts Tag: 225259
Utility to copy program to new computer
A correctly licensed CD is missing, and I would like to have a critical
program on the new computer (Win98SE to WinME). Is there a utility that
will let me do this so that WinME thinks it was correctly installed? So
far all the copy programs seem to deal with CD's DVD's, or images of an
entire hard drive.

MSVFW32.DLL problems
I cannot get my children's Digital Blue digital movie

Delay in Using Windows ME Explorer&My Computer
When using Explorer or My Computer there is a 30-45 sec. delay in gaining
access to the Drives or Directories. The OS seems to be in a waiting mode -
HourGlass Displayed during this delay. This happens everytime I attempt to
open Explorer or My Computer. I am running Windows ME using an asus
motherboard - IDE raid config as a boot up drive, an additional IDE drive
(non-raid) config as a slave, a DVD Burner and CDR burner, (two units) and a
6 in 1 digital card reader.
Any suggestions to correct this problem would be helpful.

CD ROM
I can't seem to find an answer for this one...and please,
not too technical or I'm lost. When putting a CD in, the
computer locks up, with the exception of the cursor. It
doesn't matter what type, whether audio or otherwise. At
times when I try to "trick" it into running the disc, and
initiating the start of a game, I'll get the "Insert the
disc now" message, although it's already in. Any ideas??

Defrag starts running on its own
Hi all -
I have been having a problem with the defrag starting to run all of a
sudden, seemingly on its own. The scandisk does not run first, only the
defrag starts up. It does not happen at any particular time of the day, or
day of the week, as if it is a scheduled activity. But, usually when it
starts to run, the machine has been idle for a while. I have gone into
another room for about 15-20 minutes, and when I come back, the defrag
program is running..?
I do not have it set to run on any particular schedule, or..at least not
intentionally. I run the scandisk manually at least every couple of days,
and the defrag every month or so, depending on my computer activities. I
have updated and run my SpyBot, Adaware, AV's, HijackThis and Stinger.
Perhaps a bit of
overkill, but, I seem to be hunting a ghost, so I called on all the
GhostBusters I could think of. ;-)
I'd truly appreciate any suggestions, information or input, in hopes it
might shed some light on what may be causing this odd behavior. Then
perhaps I might have an idea where else to start troubleshooting to find
what/where is causing the defrag to autorun.
Best regards,
Jan :) Tag: Millenium Edition-Computer does not shut down it restarts Tag: 225225

can't download windows updates
Hi,
I have been going into my windows updates that opens in
my start menu. When I click on it to search for updates to
my windows ME, it says I have 3 critical updates. I click
on "install now", then it looks like it's going to start
the upgrade but the progress stays a 0 and nothing
happens. When I go into my update history, it says they
all failed.
My computer has been acting weird for about 6 months now
but it's not too bad. I can still use it fine. I just have
a feeling that there is a problem pn my C drive. I have
run all virus scans and things to check your computer and
it doesn't find anything. There is some reason why I cand
download the updates and sometimes I cand do the
maintenance. When it gets to disc defrag, it stays on 0
also.
Ant suggestions? Is there some program I can run that
will check my hard drive for problems? There must be
something messed up somewhere.
Thanks for your time!

Security Update Downloads
Hi,
Is there any way a person can download all of the Windows Me and IE6

The reason is that I am planning to do a reformat of my system and
would like to download the security updates ahead of time. I am on
dial up and all the downloads take almost 1 day to download and
install.
