Having Serious Problem - PLEASE HELP!!
I recently am facing a SEVERE problem with my Windows.
I run Windows ME on a Compaq PC, have been for the last
2.5 years. My problem is that whenever I try to install a
program, the following is said:
"(Program) has caused an error in <unknown>.
(Program) will now close.
If you have any problems, please restart your computer"
I became aware of this problem about a week ago when I
tried to update my MSN messenger. And not only that, but
NONE of any new programs will install. Always, there is an
error in "<unknown>" . I am desperate, as I do not want to
format my harddrive (have lots of important files there)
and I have done everything in my power to correct it. I
just simply cannot seem to correct that problem.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help Me, as I am SEVERELY
Desperate!! :( ANY HELP would be HIGHLY appreciated!
P.S. When I tried to install MSN Messenger 6.1, it said
that "BOOTSTRAP has caused an error in <unknown>" .. I
tried lookingfor 'Bootstrap' all over my computer, but
can't seem to find anything like that. Please, help! :( Tag: Outlook Express Tag: 237706

AOL
Hi, I posted a question concerning aol on the 16th of this
month, saying that I was having problems with aol
broadband.
I am still unable to connect to the internet via my aol
broadband modem, (the modem is a BT Voyager 100).
I have contacted aol helpline numerous times with regards
to this issue, and following todays conversation with
them, I have now been told that there may be a problem
with my windows installer, and that I should repair this.
Unfortunatly, the person I was speaking to was not very
clear on how I should go about doing this.
What I would like to know is, how do I repair this, I am a
complete novice when it comes to computers, and would
really appreciate any help.

I had to run the restored disk and the restore installed

Best Registry Cleaner?
My computer has been in constant use for over 3 years. I know that the
registry **has** to be bloated.
I have read that some registry cleaners end up deleted needed entries, and
you end up with unwanted problems. At the same time, I have read that the
current crop of registry cleaners are better at doing their intended job of
routing out duplicated and outdated entries. Yet, I don't know which one
is really considered as being the "best."
I know that I should first back up the registry before running the utility,
and also to create a fresh restore point just prior to the sweep.
Main Question-- which of the registry cleaners do YOU think is best ??
Thanks for any further input and ideas !!

removing persistent virus damage
test posted to help group
microsoft.public.windowsme.general:
I have a pc with damage from viruses. I have Norton
Antivirus with
current definitions, but it does not detect the viruses
sdware.ncase
and adware.bookedspace. I printed the instructions from
Symantec,
and manually removed these viruses, but they keep
recurring. My
Windows version is ME, and my IE version is
6.0.2800.1106. When I
first restart the system, I get an error "rundll has
caused an error
in mmsystem.dll. rundll will now close. if you continue
to experience
problems, try restarting your computer." Also, I cannot
print to a
network printer from any programs or to print a test page.
When I try
to go to start/setting/printers, and select the printer, I
get the same
error I did on startup ["rundll has caused an error in
mmsystem.dll.
rundll will now close. if you continue to experience
problems, try
restarting your computer."] if I try a second time, then I
get the
properties box, where I can click to print a test page,
and then I get
an error, "Windows was unable to print the test page.
Would you like
to begin troubleshooting now?" Troubleshooter is unable to
resolve the
problem.
Also, in IE, I keep getting an unwated search bar poping
up. I can
turn it off by going to view, and toolbars, but there is
no name for
it. I just click to uncheck the blank space, and this
searchbar goes
away. Also, my default home page keeps resetting to
http://www.i-lookup.com, no matter how many times I reset
it. Also,

_restore file

23 are in the file \_restore on my computer. It cannot
eliminate these files because as you all know, they
are 'system' files which cannot be deleted. The only way I
can see to delete these files is to delete the entire
file. Is there a way to do this? I've tried everything I

.tmp files NOT in Windows\TEMP Folder....OK to Delete?
When I do a search for files on my PC by entering .tmp or .TMP , the search
brings up over 3,600 files with the extension .tmp or .TMP. Most of these
are in C:\\Windows. Othere are in C:\\Windows\System
They are not in C:Windows\TEMP folder, however.
So I'm wondering how safe it is to delete ALL of these?
Many of them have long odd filenames such as :
fffe73e9_{A3D4287C-53F7-4745-A98A-3C3C6D2317A3}.tmp
Aside form the practical question about deleting all these, I'm also curious
as to what they are.

problems since upgrading to outlook express 6.0
I recently upgraded to outlook express 6.0. and the new
version of microsoft internet explorer. Since then, when
I close this program I get an eror message "Msimn has

The error message box does not close when I click the
close button.
Despite this, I can still use other programs and re-open

Additionally, I have not been able to open text file e-

Attn Mike M or others
Ok Mike,
It seemed as though my computer problems started around a
month or so ago after I deleted some Java system files.
The problem seemed to get much worse over the past week or
so.
My biggest problem at this point is that my computer
continually freezes up while I am online. It usually
happens when I am trying to move to a new location.
I get many error "boxes".
1. "WJ view "system could not find file"
This pops up every time I start my computer.
2. "DW caused an error in DW.EXE. DW will now close"
Also every time I start up.
3. "/explore error in USER.EXE."
I ran updated virus check and my computer looks clean??
Noel recommended I download adaware.
I did that and quarintened many files, but without change
after restarting computer.
What do you guys recommend I do???
