    - System Restore doesn't work! When I try to launch system restore, I can get past the first two screens where I tell it I want to set a restore point, give it a name, and after that it tells me that I need to shut down and restart the computer in order to use system restore. I have done that several times but it does not solve the problem. Thanks. JJ Tag: Mouse/Sound card? Tag: 201538

    - Win Media Player 9 and Codecs I downloaded a movie with an .avi extension and tried to play it in WMP9. It started looking for codecs and came back in error stating: "Class not registered" I sought help here and got a response with two links to go to that should help. I tried the first link which told me to identify the codec that's missing. This info isn't listed anywhere in my error box. So I tried the second link. O.K.....I did what I was told to do and everything listed at the site I was directed to. The second link said to reinstall WMP9 over existing one. I reinstalled WMP9 and nothing happened, It also said to open the file in "mplayer.exe" to find out what codec is missing instead, it gave me a message stating: "MMSYSTEM006 There is no driver installed on this system". What does this mean and where is this driver it speaks about? Thanks! So in my response to this question....I was told to look in my DXDIAG file. But I wasn't told what to look for. So I am asking what am I to look for in the DXDIAG file? Tag: Mouse/Sound card? Tag: 201532

    - Not being able to open attachments I am running windows ME on a laptop that has OE 6.0 and have been unable to open attachements on a regular basis. Some are opened OK and others show OE message that it has not allowed the opening of the attachment due the possbility of a virus. When I forward the e-mail to my desktop (running WIndows 95 and OE 5.5 I am able to open the attachments, usually .doc or .eml files). How can I change the settings on OE 6.0 to give me more flexibility to open these types of attachments? I am running Norton Virus and Grisoft virus for protection and am thinking that this should be enough security. Please help. It is very frustration. Mike Tag: Mouse/Sound card? Tag: 201491

    - System Restore Failed On a couple of occasions recently I have tried to use System Restore when three or four restore points are shown to be available. The restores have failed with the message "System restore failed to restore your computer. Please try another Restore point" (wording may not be exact). Choosing a different point had no effect. I have Norton System Utilities which has a known problem in this area, but I have checked the Norton feature which causes the problem and it was disabled anyway (Disk Health sensor in System Doctor).

    - not sure what the problem is I have Internet Explorer 6 on my computer. It is difficult to connect if my computer has been inactive for a while. You have to either shut down the computer and wait a minute or two and then try to connect or restart the computer. Then you can keep an internet connection for about 30 minutes sometimes more sometimes less. I have had my phone lines tested and they are fine. I have called my ISP for tech support and they say it's not them with the problem maybe its me. What would be causing this? I can only get a good fast internet connection if I shut down or restart my computer. Then if it slows down and bumps me off if I restart/shut down my computer and reconnect I get a good connection. What would cause that? Thank you very much. If you need anymore info feel free to ask. Thanks again for your help. Tag: Mouse/Sound card? Tag: 201453

The only reference I can finsd so far is related to this happening when a program may be running.

    - Msimn has caused an error in directdb.dll I keep getting the error message listed in the subject line whenever I start Outlook Express 6. I have not added any new hardware or software. System is virus free. If I reboot my system 5 or 6 times, I can eventually get my email to download before the error message comes up. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? It's not in the Knowledge Base. All I found was "msimn has caused a page fault in direcdb.dll" which only deals with Outlook 5 beta and importing mail. Not any help. Thanks!

    - What is MPREXE.exe ? I just installed Norton Personal Firewall on PC with Windows ME and have RoadRunner internet service (cable modem). A security alert has popped up about 20 times now for MPREXE.exe trying to access IP addresses on the internet on port 137. Each time I set a rule to block access to that specific program and IP address. After about 20 times of blocking access, each to a different IP address, I set a rule to block all access to all IP addresses and all ports. I did a reverse IP address lookup for some of the addresses and found some in the U.S. and one in Korea (I didn't recognize any of the site names and didn't go to any of them). MPREXE.exe is a small (28k) program file in the c:\windows\system32 folder. Does anyone know what it is and why it wants so much access to the internet?

    - REINSTALLING WINDOWS ME I reinstalled Windows Me and followed the instructions. After a few tries, it reinstalled clean. On the WINDOWS ME CD Disk I followed instructions and recommendations. The part where it said: Install into Windows? or Windows.000, I reinstalled it into WINDOWS. Success finally. But now I have two huge files WINDOWS and WINDOWS.000? The WINDOWS.000 works fine, as far as I can See! But the WINDOWS file is taking up over a Gig of space. Can I safely delte the original WINDOWS File to pick up space? And how do I delte it, if I can, without disturbing the new WINDOWS.000? DELL was no help at all. Thanks. Tag: Mouse/Sound card? Tag: 201389

    - Modem for distinctive ring I am running Windows ME and have WinFaxPro 10.0. WinFax Pro does not support the distinctive ring feature for some modems, including the Lucent Win modem that came installed in my HP 7940. The easiest solution is to replace the Lucent Win Modem with one that will support distinctive ring for WinFaxPro. Symantic gave me a list of modems that don't work, but not a list of those that do. My question: how can I know, before buying and installing, that the modem will work, i.e., that WinFax Pro, in a system running Windows ME, will support distinctive ring on the new modem? .

    - Use of Shift Keys with Internet Explorer Aloha, This is my 3rd post to the board trying to find some help with this small problem I have been having with my computer for about 2 1/2 weeks. It never happened before, but now, when I have Internet Explorer open and am viewing a web page, and then I open another window, such as this window I am typing into now, an email message or just a simple microsoft word document, as soon as I hit the shift key, the window minimizes and I am returned to the Internet Explorer page as my view. So for example, I opened up the Microsoft newsgroup message board and then clicked the "post" key to post this message. As soon as I hit the shift key to try and capitalize a word in this document, this window minimized and then returned back to the newsgroup page. If I hit shift again, it does not bring this window back on top. I have been told to try cleaning my old keyboard and then to replace my keyboard. I just purchased a new one today and I still have the same problem. I was also told to simply reboot my computer to fix the problem, but that has not helped either. Is there such a thing as a "hot key" that I am unaware of? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and Aloha, Todd Constantino Tag: Mouse/Sound card? Tag: 201375

    - Email to Ukraine Email I send to the Ukraine, either in English or in Cyrillic, does not arrive and neither does mail to me from the Ukraine. This started happening about 2/2001. How can I get through? Tag: Mouse/Sound card? Tag: 201333

I am having problems with my mouse disappearing. I was
told that I needed to reinstall my sound card from the CD
that came with my computer -- or download an updated one.

I am wondering if I heard this right...can a mouse act up
because of a malfunctioning sound card?

I just wanted an opinion if anyone had ever heard of
this. If so, then I know I am on the right track.

Thanks. Gale
