defrag errors
When I try to run defrag it keeps restarting saying "hard disk changed" or
something to that affect. This is the first time it has done that. I have
turned off all running programs before running defrag but I still get the
error. Any ideas?

in "kernel" or a 'long digit'.tmp and will now close, you
click "ok" and it just closes everything and has nothing
on the screen. it happens everytime. i have tried to
restore from a earlier date but still no luck. Tag: Outlook Express Tag: 242175
ran defrag - lost everything
Two days ago I ran disc defrag, then shut down the computer ... the next morning it started in safe mode only, most program files won't open. And when I click on 'my computer' the D and E drives don't appear, so I can't run my system restore discs. Can't get online with it, either. Last week I downloaded some critical updates from Microsoft, and I have a feeling this is related to the problem. Don't know which ones were downloaded. Happened to do a virus scan the same day this happened and nothing was found. Was able to run 'thorough' scandisk last night and no errors detected. Ran spybot this morning. I'm pretty computer illiterate, but somehow been able to muddle through problems before, but I can't think of anything else to do. Tag: Outlook Express Tag: 242172

Programs Not Responding During Boot Process
Starting last night, as I boot up the computer, certain
files that are listed in Msconfig Startup hang and refuse
to load and I have to CTL ALT DEL and end task to get the
process to continue. These usually include systray,
statemgr and vsmon. I have scanned the disk, run spybot
and adaware, I have latest mcaffee virus protection and
firewall and I just can't figure out what caused this.
Files (like systray.exe) seem to be there in
Windows/System as they shouldbe. It is not even the same
programs each time. ???????? Tag: Outlook Express Tag: 242170

Somewhere I read that, if you have broadband, you need a firewall. Is that a

And what about antivirus, spyware and trojans?
My OS is Windows ME and my total disk capacity is 9.7 GB.
The question here is:
What is a must in my case and which are the best and least troublesome
applications to use?
Being certain there are several different solutions, I am willing to make my

Norton AV
I am running ME. Have 2 HDs WD40g and WD80g. The 80 is a
copy of the 40 using Western Digital EZ-Install. When I
try to do a virus scan using NAV the 80g goes into a
seemingly endless loop finding multiple non existant
subfolders in Windows\Application Data\Earthlink\Media\.
The 40g drive does not do this. NAV scans and finds no
virus, etc. on it. Deleting this folder on the 80 and
copying it from the 40 yields the same problem. ???? I
find little or no enthusiasm for NAV scanning the
newsgroup. Must be a better answer.

I've been trying to solve this problem for months with no luck. Any help

Anytime I right-click (alternate-click) a file or icon, the right-click menu
takes 20 - 30 seconds to appear and I notice that the Internet is being
queried. This also happens when I have an Explorer window open and I
left-click on the "File" menu. I'm using a 56K dial-up connection that is
not always connected so this is extremely frustrating. I'm running Windows
ME. I have Zone Alarm Pro and Norton SystemWorks 2003 loaded but can't find
any info on their web sites to indicate that they may be the problem. My

Registry cleaners
Good afternoon:
I've had to delete (rather than uninstall) a program folder since the
uninstall file was missing, and I couldn't get it back by reinstalling the
application. The program is well represented in the registry. Would it be
appropriate to download a registry cleaner to try to get rid of all the
associated registry entries? Is there one that you guys trust? I haven't
seen registry cleaners discussed here for some time.

BackWeb info needed
Hi, I am having problems with my computer and downloaded
SpyHunter. After I ran it, it told me that BackWeb had
been installed on it. I identified the application file
and was wondering if it was safe to delete it and all the
other BackWeb components that were identified, some of
them date back a couple of years when I bought my
computer, some of the files are brand new, (like one
application is from 4/27/04). I have a 13 year old and no
matter what I tell him, he still downloads like crazy. I
have had to restore to factory settings three times in the
last 6 months. Is BackWeb a file that is installed with
Windows or is it safe to delete it? Tag: Outlook Express Tag: 242048

Cannot open Explorer (shell32.dll error)
Can anyone help? I am not able to open Explorer except in safe mode
for some reason. I sually get:

Or
"Explorer has caused an error in <Unknown>. Explorer will now close."
I have tried system restore, spyware checks, and the other Microsoft

All I can figure is that there is some sort of conflict between
shell32.dll and Explorer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problems, crashed again.....
Hi Guys......
I have been heavily using this computer for 2 days looking up hotels in
England (a lot of graphics).....so after the coincidental crash with
Heirloom's attachment, did a Safe Mode scandisk and defrag......it did take
quite a while.....90 minutes at least.
Rebooted and decided to plug in my new card reader for the digital
camera......got a few missing file or dll errors. I didn't write them down,
but they were USB ones....like the fellow had when trying to load the
software for his Pentax. So I clicked on Skip It.....got a couple more and
cancelled it.
I took the card reader out of the USB port.....and wham, the whole damn
thing went dead on me!! Ron said the screen just went black.....no
warning...nothing. Monitor and speaker lights were still on. Checked
everything and could not get the CPU to come on. Finally it did after maybe
10 or 15 minutes.
Seems to be working OK now. Icons were splattered all over the screen just
like when I came out of Safe Mode....and Scandisk ran. Perhaps I tried
putting the new card reader on too soon after the defrag? Has to be
something to do with that.
Only other thing I have put on in the past few days is the IconCache.
Screen was freezing on me last night and had to reboot a couple of times. I
put IconCache on because the icons were slow to 'fill in'.
I never could write a short post.....sorry about that. But want to make
sure this 'baby' is not having major problems. I probably need new video
drivers......and I am about ready to upgrade to XP!!! Scared the hell out
of me, it did.
As usual.....I get the weird problems. Not about to try the card reader
until tomorrow......and I did keep your post Mike about those USB files
being in BASE2.Cab Files and the website to download the ones you
need.....quote.....
>>>Alternatively you could visit
http://www.usb-drivers.com/drivers/63/63237.htm
and download usb-WinMe.exe which contains WinMe's usb related files.
Extract the files you want and put them in windows\system32\drivers.<<<<
It was asking that they be put in that System 32 folder. And for the WinME
CD which I don't have.
