Help! Scandisk/Defrag now runs only in safe mode?
ME Guru's. Outta nowhere, I can't run through scandisk
unless I boot up from the safe mode. Even with everything
showing clear but "Explorer" and "Systray" in programs,
and with the PC booted with all the boxes checked in
the "General" category under "System Configuration
Utility", it won't complete. It just keeps bombing out
with messages that it restarted too many times. If I turn
off the warning and let it continue, it appears not to be
getting anywhere after an hour. xxx's oooo's

Slow IE 5.5
Recently, without any notice or warning,
my IE 5.5 (running on WinME) has become as slow as a sloth.
If I type something in a form or address bar,
it takes forever for a single letter to come out.
I downloaded IE 5.5 service pack 2 from MicroSquish,
and successfully installed it, but it didn't help at all.
NO OTHER PROGRAM HAS THIS PROBLEM!!!
While I'm on the net,
I can use ANY other program (Eudora, Free Agent, Word, etc, etc, etc),
with NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER!!!!
I've cleaned up my temp files, cookies, etc,
run scandisk and defrag,
run thorough anti-virus scans,
and rebooted just before hooking up to the net
(i.e., IE is the 2nd thing that comes up
after the connection is made).
I tried download IE 6.0,
but I kept getting interrupted (this was at 3 in the morning!),
and when it finally completed after numerous attempts,
it failed to setup properly!
I like IE 5.5 (until now!),
and am wondering if anyone has had the same problem
and knows of a solution.
Thanks for your time!

Conflict: Classical Solitaire & NSW 2004 Pro
I have just installed Norton SystemWorks 2004 Professional and Norton
Personal Firewall 2004 over their corresponding 2003 versions (according
to Symantec's instructions).
All seemingly went well. However, I find that ME's Classical Solitaire
no longer functions (other games seem OK). Using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to
remove the program "Csinject" allows Classical Solitaire to function
normally. Although Csinject existed in previous NSW versions, this
problem did not occur.
Symantec recommends disabling Csinject whenever I wish to play
solitaire!!!

SEARCH- For Files and Folders
Windows ME.
There were several postings (including mine) from people for whom
Start -Search- For Files and Folders does not work.
Goggle search I did this morning produced this:
http://www.assistivecomputers.com/helpfiles/Search%20for%20Files.htm
Well. It works.
I further found that you can go to ANY folder in Windows Explorer (Does not
have to be MY Documents) , press F3 and Search dialogue comes on. You can
also go to MyComputer ( icon on Desktop) - press F3 and the search dialogue
comes on (and works). The only place F3 does not work for me is Desktop.
Question to the experts: what stops it from working from Start- Search?
Note : Several responses suggested to tick Tweak UI - Desktop- Search
Results.
It does not work for me. Are there different versions of Twaek UI?

URGENT : Recycle Bin Problem
Hi there, can someone please help with a Recycle Bin problem ?
The problem is that when I send something to the Recycle Bin (as I
always have done), when I then look in the "Recucle Bin" either using
Windows Explorer or the Recycle Bin Icon on the Desktop nothing is
there !
The Recycle Bin Icon shows that there IS something in the bin (i.e.
"litter" is shown in it).
On the "Properties" for Recycle Bin I have the "Display delete
confirmation dialog" ticked.
Windows explorer sees file in all the other location as normal.
I have not altered anything lately but when I deleted by accident a
file last night I realised I could not retrieve it in the usual way.
I have been emptying the recycle bin from the Desktop icon, so I do
not know how long this problem has been there.
I really need to retrieve the file, so I dare not empty the recycle
bin now !
Please help me !
Many Thanks,

C-Nile virus.
Please is this a virus C-Nile sounds or just a hoax
Copy of
E-mail I received
For reasons I cannot fathom, Tim Coldwell, who lives in Le Touquet, has
sent the following virus warning. It is, apparently, untreatable even by
the most advanced software from Norton or McAfee and seems to strike
people born before 1970.
Symptoms include the following: It causes you to send the same e-mail
twice. It causes you to send a blank e-mail. It causes you to send
e-mail to the wrong person. It causes you to send it back to the person
who sent it to you. It causes you to forget to attach the attachment. It
causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. It causes you to hit
"DELETE" instead of "SEND". It causes you to hit "SEND" when you should
"DELETE". It's called the C-Nile virus.

Restore file infected
I have been plagued with that W32/Swen.A@mm virus, and Norton's can only

temporary file and not my REAL Restore file. I have disconnected the
Restore function, but eventually, I would like to have that program
available. I was interested that Norton's showed the words "you are still
