    - HeelNrg and DMA People, And I know you are out there, I read the entire post from this chap about DMA and his PC. Now, he was the original poster, an he must have had 20 replies. Unfortunately not one of them was his, nor was I able to follow logically what happened. So, here goes: My DMA is *not* checked off. I *think* when I do that, something bad happens (been years). But, as I've been burning stuff on DVD, any speed increase I can get would be much appreciated. I read part of M$ knowledge base on this, but it took me somewhere else when I clicked, and pretty much gave up. So, knowing that DMA stands for Direct Memory Access, that sounds like something I want. Avoiding middlemen, that's true to my cheap heritage. But, maybe there is something intrinsically wrong about my ancient system board, bios, and chipset that will take 6 hours to fix if I do something wrong, again. Is there a simple answer to someone that understands this concept. Obviously the easiest is to just put that checkmark in, restart, and see what happens. But, this old dog has a sneaky suspicion that's a BAD idea. Anyone care to make a suggestion? Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272848

    - ME not loading Last night I installed software for Sony Walkman onto my home Vaio desktop, after installation I was instructed to re-boot system. System will only re-start to Windows ME initial screen. I assume my ME needs to be re-installed, but I do not have the original installation disk, is there someplace online to find it? Or is this some kind of complete system failure which will require repair from a professional? Any thoughts? Thanks so much! Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272840

    - kill stubborn processes - HOW? I need to kill some processes that seem to leave remnants of applications that have caused exception errors and closed on their own. When that happens, I can't seem to reload the main program. The application's process is nolonger listed in the TaskList (ctrl-alt-del), but programs such as PROCEXP.exe (Process Explorer 8.6, by SysInternals, and PROCESS.exe (ilProcessViewer) although list the offending process still running, FAIL to kill it! So.. does anyone have any other fool-proof methof to kill a process? Sofar, the only way to recover access to the program that I wish to relaunch is if I reboot the pc; that is not practical nor convenient. Thanks in advance! Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272801

    - ME and RAM I have seen it mentioned on this board that Windows ME can handle up to 2GB of RAM. I currently have 250 MB. When I tried to add an additional 250 MB, the computer would not boot up. I was told that ME cannot handle 500 MB of RAM and that I should buy XP. What is the truth? Many thanks in advance for any assistance, Peter. Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272785

    - System error At Problemsolving (via Configurationscreen-System-Performance-Filesystem-Problemsolving) (have Win in dutch, am not sure of the right appellations !!) the item "option to desactivate System recovery" is activated. After desactivation and restart of the pc, the item is again activated. This function never gave problems before, but lately, after a system-crash, I reformatted the HD and reloaded WinME. From then the problem occurred. What is curious too : the switch from "Performance" and "Filesystem" and further to "Problemsolving" take more time then usual. Has someone an explanation for this problem ? Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272719

    - a variety off apps suddenly die when trying to open data files - help! Just reinstalled WinME. Many applications die suddenly as soon as I try to open a file from within them. So far I notice this using all of the following: - Opera - WinAmp - Zinf - WMP - Sound Recorder and a few others. MS Office apps open files OK. Never seen anything so quasi-transversal across various apps. Notice that there is an antivirus installed (clamwin), but it does not have a general "desktop"protection, i.e. files are no all automatically inspected when being opened. It would have been a nice failure point, but it isn't! Where do I look for something rotting in my system? TIA Filippo Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272700

    - Operating System Problems Can anyone help me? I have Windows ME already installed as my operating system. Last year, I tried installing Windows XP on my computer but I wasn't successful. I have two harddisk in my computer (80 GB Master and 8 GB Slave) and 256 MB RAM. My computer has an Intel Celeron Processor. So basically what's happening is I have "two" operating system on my computer and I have to select one of them at startup. However, my real selection is only hte Windows ME as if I select the Windows XP, it basically freezes my computer. So I would like to do is any of the following (whichever may be easier): just run one operating system; either Windows ME or Windows XP only, whichever is easier. And can anyone here help me with a detailed instruction to do this. Thanks in advance. Thanks, VT Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272676

    - enable DMA After my recent problems with my CD RW drive I decided to invest in a new DVD writer as the old CD writer was just that - old. I have had nothing but trouble with it and Nero6 since (the details are not important at the moment). The PC store advised me to ensure that DMA was enabled on the new drive. So, not wanting to appear stupid, I went home and checked on the Internet as to how to do it. Everything I read says that, for WinMe you go device manager/CD rom and click on the +/double click the icon for that drive/settings and there is a box for DMA to check. Not on mine there isn't. There are boxes for disconnect/sync data transfer/auto insert on the left and two greyed-out ones for removable and Int13 unit on the right. Then below are the drive letter (E) and a space for reserved drive letters. Running the Nero Info Tool shows me that the standard D drive (CD Rom) is DMA enabled but shows a question mark next to my new drive. I have looked at every other item in device manager and can't find anything referring to DMA (I really am running WinMe). Can anyone help me find out how to do it please?

    - Can't open folders, run applications, internet...close to reformat I identified a minor trojan (trojan.startpage), and quarantened it. I also purged the systemrestore folder because the trojan was there as well. But I'm at the end of my rope with this machine; I'd love to get files off it and reformat, but I cannot access a network. Basically, it boots up, but it effectively freezes after bootup. The mouse will move, but most programs won't open, inlcuding folders and My Computer. (AIM will log on, but none of its features operate). Basically, anything that requires my intitiation will not work. I often have to Ctrl + alt + del to stop a non-responding program. Eventually there is nothing left running and it still won't operate. There seems to be something currupt in windows explorer. It will open in safemode, and operates fine, but of course operation is limited. There are very few startup programs (really only AIM and the defaults), and I've done Ad-Aware scans and Norton AV scans to no avail. What next? Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272609

    - Create date directory I need to get a text file listing of file names and creation dates for a folder. Basically, I want to be able to do something like DIR > X.TXT but have the dates be the creation dates rather than the modified dates. I find that I can open the folder and, after selecting Views -> Details, I can then select Views -> Choose Columns and get what I want, but I can't find any way, from there, to get a text file of the resultant listing. I thought I remembered a way to print these things (other than by graphics capture and printing that), but after looking around, I'm guessing it wasn't Windows I'm remembering it from. Any ideas? - Bill Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272602

    - W32.Licum worm over and over Hi: Running NAV 2005 with updated antiviral definitions. Norton successfully quarantines W32.Licum on an almost daily basis. SP1 is up-to-date. I run a few other programs to protect my system (Ad-Aware, Spyware Blaster, Spybot S & D, etc.) and everything else is clean. Symantec refers me to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026. When I try to download the patch, I get an error message telling me that Win Me does not require this patch! I do not have a firewall: can someone recommend a freeware firewall utility that will seamlessly work with NAV 2005? Lastly, is there another reason(s) W32.Licum keeps appearing on my system? Quarantine folders are deleted, as are temp folders with a Cleanup! dump before rebooting. I tried expanding my protection by upgrading to Symantec's Internet Security 2005, but I could not get a clean installation of LiveUpdate or some shared files and had to revert back to NAV 2005. Thanks. Adam Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272577

    - PC3000 What happens if you have a hard disk which spins erratically, or the heads are making clicking noises, or maybe everything seems fine but the disk is just not recognized by the PC or any other tool? Since you don't have access to the disk you may conclude that it is due to the controller board failure or some mechanical or physical damage, and whatever you try to do to fix the drive is then driven simply by your intuition because you have no information about the status of a drive that is simply not recognized by your utilities. But help is at hand, because the PC3000 is a unique tool that can communicate with the drive in such situations by using vendor specific commands to switch the drive into kernel mode - the one that is used by the manufacturer to provide read/write access to the firmware on the controller board and firmware modules, such as Microcode Overlays, HDD Configuration Tables, Defects Tables, SMART Attributes, Security Subsystem, Adaptives, etc., stored at the disk service area (maintenance track) at negative cylinders. When the drive is not recognized by the PC, it basically means that the HDD cannot boot up properly due to electrical failure, mechanical/physical damage or corruption of the firmware modules on the controller or the disk service area (maintenance track). By using PC3000 you can diagnose the drive and determine exactly what is causing the failure. Furthermore, in our experience more than 50% of such failures (and for some particular HDD models over 90%) are due to firmware related problems that can be resolved using PC3000. You can simply reload firmware modules onto the damaged drive or just use one of the PC3000 built-in fixes available for the most common failures of the particular HDD model, such as Fujitsu MPG's firmware damage, Maxtor's G-List/P-List corruption (e.g. 'Maxtor N40P' and 'Maxtor Athena' family), Western Digital's S.M.A.R.T. counters overflow and others. PC3000 supports 3.5" ATA/SATA Hard Disk Drives from the following manufacturers :- Maxtor/Quantum, Seagate, Western Digital, Fujitsu, IBM/Hitachi, Samsung, Conner, HP, Kalok, Teac, Daeyoung, and Xebec. www.pc3khrt.com Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272538

    - Apparently insoluble windows protection fault! Hi everyone, My windows ME pc has developed a 'Windows protection fault. Please restart your computer. System halted.' It was fine at 8pm Friday and Saturday morning, nothing. I have run through the troubleshooting article (273738) all to no avial. Safe mode works fine, my boot disk works fine and my install disk of windows ME also boots the PC up ready for a fresh install. 3 things I am a bit concerned about i) scanreg /restore tells me that no restore points exist!!??!! ii) The 'Launch System Restore' button in msconfig tells me 'System restore cannot protect your computer. Please restart your computer, and try system restore again.' iii) Periodically scandisk keeps telling me that the reported free space on my C and D HD's is incorrect. Even if I take it up on the offer to fix the problems they see to come back. Scandisk reveals no other problems on either drive. I am getting to the end of my tether with this now. If I have to reinstall windows ME it won't be a problem but I cannot understand why if safe mode works this should make any difference. Any advice would be welcome. Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272521

    - comctl32.dll My desktop running windows ME is not starting . It was running the best it had in months and then started freezing this week and I had to shut it down manually a few times. When I started it today, it went thru a scan and then showed a blue screen with error message: comctl32.dll file cannot start. check file to determine problem. then I had to shut it down manually. How do I get to that file and how do I check what's wrong. Is there something called an SFC with windows ME and will this help.

    - dear microsoft.public.windowsme.general readers -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's getting a bit tiresome seeing one misguided American after another with their cutsie little yellow or red-white-blue ribbons on their outsized SUVs. Yeah, I guess it's the thing to do; maybe part of that whole soccer-mom culture. Unfortunately, the only thing they demonstrate is that the person behind the wheel is a clueless, gullible, misguided, nitwit. If foreign invaders landed on our soil, as we have done in Iraq, I would be the first one to take up arms and repel them. (I suppose that would make me an 'insurgent' by OUR logic.) This, and other aggressive governments have always done their utmost to make it APPEAR as if committing yourself to kill in feuds on distant shores that have nothing to do with the welfare of the citizenry is somehow patriotic. It is not. Enlisting in the armed forces, in the absence of a real and impending foreign threat, is no different that hiring yourself as a paid assassin . . the only difference is, you're not getting paid enough. But let's take a realistic look at exactly WHO joins up in an all-volunteer army. The first group are those who join (during peacetime) for the benefits: to get an education, or because it seems a reasonable career path. Consider carefully! Realize that you are gambling with your humanity. Once you sign that form, you sign away your right to say: "No, that is an atrocity." You put your abilities, including the ability to kill, at the disposal of proven liars, psychopaths . . . enemies of humanity. Do you think that every German soldier in World War II who helped load Jews into cattle cars was a cold-blooded killer? Most were poor kids, just like you, who got caught up in the patriotic frenzy. Once you're in, you're IN. You lose the ability to stop killing until they tell you so. This not only makes you less than human, it makes you less than an animal, for even the animals retain their freedom of self determination. The second group are the simple minded, who fall for patriotic entreaties about defending democracy, Mom, apple pie; in other words, all the traditional government propaganda. Do you think Soviet lads subjugated their neighbors throughout the world because they thought the Soviet Union was an EVIL empire? No, they were fighting for MOM, and whatever passes for apple pie in Russia. Step back and examine the lies your government is handing you, and ask yourself if they have the ring of truth. Do you want to be one of the murderers in uniform who opened up on their fellow citizens at Kent State? When you put on that uniform, you give up all autonomy, and become nothing more than a weapon, to be used for whatever evil purposes the scoundrels in government demand (and, if you look carefully, you will discover that the only interests THEY serve are those of the big businesses that own them.) Finally, you have the hard-core psychopaths. These are the people who WANT to kill. Murder, torture, rape; THESE are the American values upon which THIS group is focused. The cause doesn't matter, they're after the thrill that only warfare can provide. Just remember: killing for George W. Bush, or for George H.W. Bush, or for Lyndon B. Johnson, or for Richard M. Nixon is not the same as defending yourself, your family, your friends, or your country. Don't be a dupe. Don't Enlist! Remember -- supporting the troops means supporting Bush aggression, profiteering, and war crimes. Here's an idea: why not take those ribbons, dip them in blood, and mail them to the White House? - -- Tom St.Denis 111 Banning Rd Kanata, Ontario K2L 1C3 Canada Home: (613)836-3160 Cell: (613)796-8220 tomstdenis@gmail.com KeyID: 0x40B640D5 Fingerprint: 53F9 307F F83E D52A 9E63 C2A5 B43F D952 40B6 40D5 http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x40B640D5 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.0.3 iQA/AwUBQxLVO7Q/2VJAtkDVEQJnnQCg1mRyNVgZ6Po6Xf7csn62Ph9rkC8AoMxZ Zo8jLvfr6bDGWZb/PhEpz3c8 =2NAY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272454

    - Windows Temp Files I am having some trouble and it's driving me batty. I use Windows ME I always keep the folder cleaned out daily. I tried to delete all files in my TEMP folder and there is one that it won't let me delete. The file is just a image file. It gives me an message "Can't delete file may be in use."

Then It won't let me just close the window I have to do the Alt Ctrl Del and end task. Then open it again. Then it will let me delete some more of the others. Until it stops again.

It's now 10:47 on the 30th and the automatic windows update has yet to notify me that I need to install 828026. I'm assuming that (a) one of the fixes you sent me worked and that (b) it was necessary (for some reason?) to let AWU do it's thing one more time before it decided I was really updated. Is there anything you'd like me to check and report on for post analysis purposes? - Bill Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272410

    - winme shutdown error in VxD SBCP9X2(01) I have been getting a message sporadically for the last 6 months or so that I cannot seem to remedy. Upon shutdown I get the usual "blue screen" with the message: An exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C1657881 iv VxD SBCP9X2(01) + 00003701. This was called from 0028:00000004 in VxD. What does this mean and how can I fix this problem. Chris Tag: Screen Savers Tag: 272395
