    - Slow Startup with Windows ME My Dell Windows ME computer takes a long time (> 5 min) to startup. A scandisk window always pops up, with the message that windows did not properly shutdown during the previous session. Sometimes the computer will hang during the startup. Once I get through a successful start, the computer runs reasonably well as long as I have scanned for viruses and adware. Any suggestions? Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246768

    - Directx I recently got a webcam and software prompted me to download latest version of Directx. I downloaded from Microsoft.com but for some reason the download failed so I tried again. This time the download seemed to work but the installation failed and now has failed every single time I try. I can send video and audio through Netmeeting but I cannot receive video or audio. I think the two issues are related. I have Windows ME, my ISP is AOL and I use a dial up 56k modem. Please help!! Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246764

    - Sytem Tray Items I have many programs (and need to have them there) in system tray, which causes a shorter (annoying) taskbar. Is there any free program which will manage my tray items (as we can in Win XP). Hides the inactive items and places them in a clickable tool bar. Thanx in advance Farhan Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246762

    - Links in Browsers When we hover the mouse on a link in browsers (IE, Crazy Browser, MYIE) their URL address is shown in status bar of that browser. Problem is that some part of it hides behind other status bar item so we are not sure about the link's target (specially when downloading an item, whether this click will take us to this item's further details or it will start downloading). I know some pages mention it clearly but some pages specially free download site have this problem. If this is sorted out we can easily know whether this will be a item's detail page or we can add that link to our dl manager straight away. The problem persist in both Online and Offline In ONLINE when we click a download link it starts downloading through explorer while I always prefer dl manager (safer on DUN - no threats of disconnection etc). In OFFLINE we first paste that link to clipboard to verify for a legit downloadable link than add to dl manager. I use getright Any ideas/tips Farhan Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246760

    - windows me won't boot my son just returned from college with his computer which was running windows me. It won't boot with or without the startup disk. I tried to reinstall (it was an upgrade version}. Startup says it can't find windows 98 files on the computer (and of course he lost the old windows 98 disk). Any suggestions?

    - Cloning Hard Drive I've used Norton Ghost to clone my 32G Western Digital hard drive to a new 160G Samsung drive. I have several partitions for Windows ME, programmes and data. I've used Ghost successfully in the past to clone my drive to another 32G drive, but I thought I could use a larger drive to install different OS's, including XP. After removing the 32G drive and reconnecting the new one, I can sometimes boot into ME, but I get all sorts of intermittent DLL error messages and memory faults when I try to run several programmes, including Windows Explorer. Also, after rebooting, I've started to get a red screen telling me that the boot anti virus cannot initialise. I've wiped the disk clean and done a clean XP install, which works fine, so I know it's not the new drive. Can anyone tell me if there are known issues with cloning ME to larger hard drives? By the way, the Bios of my m/b (Aopen AX63Pro) only recognises 136G of the new drive. Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246743

    - Reformatting! Background: After frustrating but minor problems with a temp file, I foolishly deleted far more than I should have, including temporary files that I now realise were probably important. Then Windows wouldn't start properly, even in safe mode. (There's an invalid page fault in Shell32.dll, among other things.) System restore won't work because it doesn't get past loading up Windows. ScanDisk, run from DOS, kept finding things wrong, and fixing them, but it still won't let me reinstall Windows from the boot disk and CD-ROM because it says there are still errors on the hard disk. Two questions: Are there any options apart from reformatting the hard disk? Will anything bad happen if I reformat the hard disk? Thank you. Tim Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246712

    - Critical Updates I am trying to get critical updates to work on a computer running ME. It is a Compaq Presario 5000. First I am having a hard time just getting the udates page to load. I get a lot of this page is not advailable. But I keep trying, and finally get it. After scanning it says there is 21 critical updates to load. I can't get past the first install alone upgrade. "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service pack 1 for windows 98, windows me". I get to the set up part, and it gets to a certain point and then I get the message: Setup was unable to download the required components. Please make sure you are connected to the internet, or try to run set up later. I Have tried to do this half a dozen times. Getting the same result each time. How can I get the critical updates installed? Thank you! Tammie Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246697

    - Serial port virtualizer All, I'm looking for a windows and Linux driver that will support up to 128 virtual serial ports, but use TCP/IP to communicate between 2 computers. One box is Linux and will have a program that receives commands from the serial ports and sends data in response. This box simulates actual hardware. The other box is Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP and runs the client program that can communicate with up to 128 of these devices. It would have up to 128 virtual serial ports and connect to the simulator via TCP/IP. Anyone know of software that does this? Couldn't find any so far. An alternative approach is running everything on the Windows box (and adding a monitor to see both programs running). There are serial port virtualization programs for Windows, with a cost of $100 to about $250. I thought there was a freeware project to do this, but I can't find it either. Anyone know if it exists any longer? Thanks for any helpful on-topic information. Dave, Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246696

    - My cursor is still wandering Hi My cursor goes on a trip by itself. I end up with folders moving, applications closing, often the left mouse button brings up the desktop controls when the right button should. When I ran Search and Destroy I noticed a couple of references to ify sites and a dialer but can't find them using windows explorer. I have Hijack This. So what info do I need to give to help point me in the direction of solving this? Also does anyone know of a good site/book for learning about Windows ME (nothing too heavy!) so that I don't have to bother you lot so much and so I can understand some of the postings.

    - "svchost.exe" in Windows ME Hi, I just got rid of a Trojan horse, so every time I sit down at my computer, I check the start up files in msconfig to make sure the Trojan is gone for good. During one of these checks, I found a brand new file "svchost.exe" which according to the time stamp, was installed while my wife was viewing pictures she had received via email. She never installs anything intentionally - she leaves that to me. I began an info hunt and found that "svchost.exe" is a common file on Windows XP and is also a file installed by the "W32.Welchia.Worm." Searched the Microsoft web site and could not find any reference for "svchost.exe" on Windows ME - just on XP. Downloaded Symantec fix for "W32.Welchia.Worm" and ran it. However, it reported that the worm is not on my computer. To be on the safe side, I renamed "svchost.exe" and moved it. It is still on my msconfig start up list, but is deselected. My computer seems to be running quite well. So... I'd like to know how "svchost.exe" got on my system in the first place, do I need it or should I get rid of it completely? I'd appreciate any help.

    - System clock fix For the past month or so my system clock has been losing from 10 to 30 minutes per day. I replaced the CMOS battery but that did not fix the problem. I downloaded the new MS critical fixes yesterday and now my clock is once again accurate. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Also, my USB mouse no longer skips all over the place as a web page is loading. (or other similar tasks) I had a feeling the clock issue was not the battery because when I powered the system down and unplugged it the clock kept time. It was only when the system was running that the clock lost time. Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246671

    - Sysing a drive? (spelling?) I have an older laptop and tested some Windows XP setup disks on it before using them on a newer computer. However, now when I start the computer up, I have to choose which operating system I want to use. The choices are "Windows Millenium Edition" and "Windows XP Installation/Upgrade". I would like to get rid of the XP stuff and awhile ago a microsoft tech told me something about "sysing" my drive or something like that. He gave me a knowledge base article #, but I lost it. So, if somebody could give me some tips on removing the XP install so that my computer boots normally, I would greatly appreciate it! Tag: Scandisk gets interrupted Tag: 246656

    - Internet Explorer vs. Firefox? A general question: Several sources recommend on the internet to switch from Microsoft's Internet Explorer to Mozilla's Firefox, because of its much safer features, especially where hackers gaining access is concerned and Microsoft being slow in creating defensive software. What is the consensus in this NG? I did try Firefox without eliminating IE but didn't like it as much, besides incurring some minor problems. Therefore I uninstalled within days. Right now they are talking about something that hides itself from being detected, even though it doesn't seem to be very harmful or it even being beneficial. As of right now I am quite satisfied with the performance of my IE. Should I be concerned at all? Harry. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - Windows explorer trying to access internet - repost Sorry, a repost because of slight error in IP code. Lately when I start windows Me I get a request via ZoneAlarm to allow Windows Explorer to access the internet. The IP quoted is IP.239.255.255.250. Is this legit? Also AVG has started to crash out to the 'blue screen' before completing (a convenient way of avoiding reporting a virus). Is AVG (database 475) suspect? I've used google on the IP address and there are a number of people asking what this IP is all about. Unfortuneately most of the posts are not in English so I can only read a few and they are very technical. All I can make out is that the IP is based in California.

    - New HDD and OS I am fitting a new hard disk to my PC as a replacement for the original. I wish to run win ME. The PC is an HP Pavilion and came with a Win 98 'recovery' cd. Along the way I have upgraded to Win ME with a non-OEM Win ME 'upgrade' CD. I have all the necessary product keys and documentaion still with both cd's. The product ID for the 98 cd includes the string - OEM-. My question is .... can I load ME directly onto the new HDD, and use the 'recovery' cd as proof of purchase ? OR, do I have to load Win 98, then upgrade to Win ME, and will 98 load direct from the 'recovery' cd onto a completely bare HDD ? I could ghost an image of my current HDD and simply swap drives, but I would prefer a fresh start as the PC has already done 4 years on 98 without a reformat or reload and I keep hearing that Win98 registry will be in a dismal way.

    - What is this character...? What is this character and how do you type it in DOS...? >> £ << I downloaded a game tonite, didn't like it, and tried to delete it. It wasn't a standard install, and had no uninstall...you just delete the folder. (OK it was a cracked game with no install...just an unpack...please...no lectures...just help please...) While trying to empty the recycle bin, it said it couldn't find some weird named file, and wouldn't let me empty it. I went into the game folder, and started deleting folders one by one. I got to a folder with what appeared to be some sort of texture files, with a crapload of 'em in there. They looked like they had the same sort of name as what the recycle bin wouldn't delete. So I started deleting them, column by column...one by one... till I got to two of them that just won't delete. When I try to delete them, move them, rename them, change the properties...I get this error message... "Cannot Delete File Windows is unable to find the file. This item might have already been deleted or moved. Press F5 to refresh the view of this folder." I refreshed, rebooted, rebooted and tried in safemode... Ran my antivirus and adware/spyware progs... NOTHING makes these two files go away, and windows is saying it can find them... WTF...??? So I did some reaserch on the net, and I read that you need to delete it in DOS. I don't know DOS...but seem to remember this happening a few yrs. ago, and someone talking me thru a "deltree" (?) in DOS. So I got like C:>DEL Foldername\filename.extension... but the filename has that damned weird symbol/character typed above in it's name that I don't know how to type.

Use ScanDefrag, the log will list all running programs and
Restrictive Mode will make every effort to stop the ones
that should not be running,. See the ReadMe for info.
