Can't delete a folder from the recycle bin
The subject pretty well sums it up. The folder is a sub-folder I deleted
from the favorites folder, and inside of it was a defunct shortcut. Every
time I try to delete it it tells me the shortcut is not valid or something
to that effect. I have searched everywhere, even through the registry, for
the shortcut name and can't find it.
What do I need to do to be able to empty the recycle bin? Thanks in advance
for your help.

Cannot drag and drop in Windows Explorer
I have Windows ME. After upgrading my browser to Internet

Computer and my drives are on the right. I used to be able
to see all my drives on both sides of the split screen. I
was able to drag and drop files among drives using Windows

cannot drag and drop anymore. How can I get back to the

Win ME Hangs
Windows ME sporadically hangs on start-up. When I select Ctrl/Alt/Delete it
indicates that some random program is "not responding" when cancel is
selected the system loads normally. I have run Spy Bot S&D, AdAware, AVG,
EZ trust thinking that somehow a beastie had got into the system. Nothing
has been detected. I can't use System Restore as I don't know when it
started as is was only occasionally hanging but it is now becoming more
frequent. I have searched various sites for a solution but it is hard to
pinpoint because of it's randomness. Any suggestions as to where to look
would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tag: IE Proxy Tag: 212449

"Explorer has caused an error in <unknown>. Explorer will now close".
I recently installed a wireless adapter, namely NetGear

The same wording I receive with Rundll32.dll. That
is, "Rundll32.dll has caused an error in <unknown>" .
How do I resolve this?

Can of Worms with shutdown and start up
Originally when performing shutdown the computer would
hang after all the icons and programs showed a normal
shutdown. In order to turn off the machine I would press
and hold the start button.
Upon starting I receive the new hardware wizard stating
that new hardware was found but not naming the device.
(No new installation took place) I would press next on the
wizard for it to search for software for the "new"
hardware. The wizard then states it was unable to locate
software. In order to proceed I would choose finish at
which time an error message about the SUReg key comes on.
Followed by a Kernel32.dll message when I clear the first
error message. The computer will continue to boot but I
do not have the sound device or modem. Any ideas on what
is going on and how to fix? (I hope it isn't a bad hard
drive) Tag: IE Proxy Tag: 212414
error in kernal32.dll
Everytime I click on my desktop icons I get the following
error "Explorer has caused an error in Kernel32.dll". My

deleteing the shelliconcache file did not help. Tag: IE Proxy Tag: 212409
System Restore
I just upgraded to a larger hard drive and copied my old
drive to my new. I received an error message when I booted
with the new hard drive that stmgr was causing a conflict.
I discovered that stmgr is System Restore. I had to
disable system restore in msconfig to eliminate the error.
Of course, system restore no longer works. I reloaded my
WindowsMe and it did not fix the problem. My questions is:
How do I remove the list of installed updates in Windows
Update because mine is no longer current? I can then
download the update to Windows Restore and hopefully fix
the problem. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Failed Security Update #823559
Up until now, I have had no problem obtaining and
installing regular automatic Windows Me Security
Updates.......until now. I am unable to install #829355. I
have tried 30+ times to do this to no avail. I have
attempted installations both automatically and manually.
Each time I receive a notice informing me that the
installation failed and to try again. I continue to
receive a reminder on the bottom of my desktop each time I
boot up. Does anyone have any clues on how I can over come
this problem? I am concerned that I won't receive anyother
updates until this one is successfully installed. Thanks
in advance for your suggestions. Tag: IE Proxy Tag: 212400
Tough problem with Win ME
I am helping a friend with his computer. Working fine after I replaced the
power supply, but there is a problem.
Every time the computer boots up Windows ME boots up OK, and then the
Windows ME installer starts installing another copy of the OS. Ctrl-Alt-Del
and kill process or a Cancel will stop the installer and the computer works
fine until the next time it's booted up, when the Windows ME wants to
install itself again.
I was told that the installer is located in the MBR and that the only
solution is to reformat and reinstall, but that is too drastic, anyone have
a better solution?
Thanks in advance,

Updates That Keep Telling me to Update
I cannot remember the patch number of the numerous
security patches for my Windows ME. I currently have one
that I have downloaded and installed a minimum of three
times. But the popup keeps coming back that I need to
download the same patch time after time. I've encountered
this problem with at least one previous patch.
Trying to get help from Microsoft is not successful and it
is less that a satisfactory experience. For this reason,
and other issues I have with Microsoft, I look forward to
the day that another company produces a good substitute
O.S. to replace the Microsoft Beauracracy/Money Making
Machine.
I would appreciate any help offered to clear up this
problem, and if somebody passes this message on to Bill
Gates, tell him I'd love to talk to him if he has concerns
about my negative attitude about Microsoft. Might be time
for a wakeup call. Tag: IE Proxy Tag: 212371
