msbug adv
I keep getting a pop up that must be a prank file that
says: "this page contains both secure and non secure
items...do you want to display the non secure items...with
a yes no or more info.....whatever you click, it does
nothing and keeps coming back.....then when I try to
restart the computer....I get this msbug adv screen that
say I cannot quit...it is so annoying.
Is there a site I can go to if no one knows of this
here...that lists pranks?
Thanks.

startup stops short of displaying desktop
Over X-mas I was downloading some windows updates for my
mom's computer. One of the updates was for explorer.
While it was downloading i left and came back to find an
error message for a "rundll.dll" file and now when it
boots it shows the desktop background but no icons or
taskbar. There is no sytem restore to go back to, nor was
there a startup disk ever made. Starting in safe mode has
the same results. changing the boot order so it boots
from the cd-rom drive with the ME cd in has the same
results as well. I need to get this system up and running
again asap. any help or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

THe Mirar toolbar installed itself
I am almost in tears because I have tired evey thing to
remove this tool bar can some one please hep!!
How do you remove the Mirar toolbar
I got these directions but I am scared to use them
Start the registry editor. This is done by clicking Start
then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.) Type regedit and
click OK. (The registry editor will open.)
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \
{8A0DCBDA-6E20-489C-9041-C1E8A0352E75}', if it exists.
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \
Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Browser Helper
Objects \ {8A0DCBDA-6E20-489C-9041-C1E8A0352E75}', if it
exists.
Browse to the key:
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet
Explorer \ Toolbar'
In the right pane, delete the value called {179E4B4A-76C3-

Dll errors/Explorer default page and win min
Someone suggested my computer may have been hit with
a "virus". I don't know. But whatever happened, except
for these problems I have isolated, everything seems to be
O.K. I am using Windows ME.
I get two rundll error windows when boots up:
C:\windows\system\msconfd.dll A dynamic link library
(dll) initialization routine failed.
C:\windows\system
msconfd.dll A dynamic link library (dll) initializiation
routine failed.
I think these two errors have to do with windows linking
to other programs I have on the computer, but this is just
a guess and I don't know what programs they are, or how to
correct this.
Also, in Windows Explorer, my default home page keeps
changing to http://just.finditnow.com/. The internet
options screen will let me change it to, for example,
Yahoo. But, when I exit explorer and reboot, it
automatically defaults back to http://just.finditnow.com/.
My third and final problem is when I close windows I get
the pop-up screen that win min is not responding; do I
want to wait, cancel, etc. What is win min and how can I
correct this.
All of this happened at the same time a couple of weeks
ago. Tag: SYMEvent Tag: 224076

setupx.dll fix for Win
I had a problem trying to fix the following error message and ended up
posting a request for help in the Win Me NG and subsequently in the Win 98
NG;
"Rundll32 has caused an error in setupx.dll"
Evidently a gal by the name of Krystyna offered the following fix a couple
of years ago, and it appears from the postings in Computing Net to have
resolved the problem many times. In case someone is interested for future
reference, I have copied her fix;
Copy and paste these lines exactly as they are, into Notepad, starting at
Regedit4, and including everything down to the last inverted commas.
Save it as SETUPX.REG in My Documents and then double click the file to run
it.
The registry entries will be edited and hopefully all will be well again.
Good luck.

Re-initalize Me upgrade of W98
Lately my computer is 'freezing up' and I am unable to regain control
with <ctl-alt-del>. Re-booting brings up Scandisk which reports that
lost file fragments have been recovered into memory.
I knew it was only a matter of time before a windows critical file would
be affected. That time appears to be now. Several USB functions NO
LONGER WORK, BSOD's appear frequently and lockups occur almost daily.
Windows Restore function does not correct the problem.
Part One
I have the Win ME upgrade installed over win 98. What options do I have
about reloading Windows? Must I reinstall on a clean drive, or can I
force Windows to reinstall over itself? Install Win 98 first?
Part Two
Do I have to 'force' the Microsoft update site to reinstall the security
updates, or will it automatically detect that they are no longer
installed on my machine, or are the files saved somewhere on my machine,
for reinstalling?
Part Three
What can I do BEFORE a reinstall which would save me from having to
download large files over a DIALUP connection? (e.g. I already have the
IE 5.5 installer files saved on a separate hard drive). Also, I have a
CD burner.
Computer is Pentium II - 350Mhz, 256Mb RAM, 2 x 6.4 GB HDD's, CD-RW,
Win ME over Win 98.
Windows and programs install to 'C:'(about 4GB used) but most program
user data files are stored on the separate 'D:' drive, including 'My
Documents' and Mozilla profile data.
Before I proceed, I'm going to get as much info as I can so that I can
make the reinstall smoothly. Thanks
