    - Kidnapped "Accessories" Programs. When I booted up today, I went to the 'Accessories' Folder in 'Programs' and there was nothing there. Scandisk, Defrag, Dos Prompt etc are all gone. No problem in rebuilding (except I can't find the Dos Prompt in any windows folders) but what the heck would cause this? Is there a way for full recovery without too much playing around? (That sometimes annoying MsOffice 2000 program ran at boot-up, you know, the one that says it will make your programs run better; could it be the culprit?) Tag: Shut Down Tag: 216398

    - ME Automatic Update I have Automatic Update enabled. When I turn my PC on each day Windows ME accesses the net to check for updates about 10 mins after switch on. Then it always happens again about 5 mins later. Is this correct and I'm missing something? I've looked at Automatic Update settings and Scheduled Tasks, and there's nothing obvious wrong. But there is an item called "PCHealth Scheduler for Data Collection" in Scheduled Tasks. Might this be anything to do with it and is it necessary / worth having? TIA...

    - scanpm.exe Today, my computer starting running scan disk over and over again. A tool bar appeared out of nowhere that shows a "scanpm" and scanpm.exe file. I can't seem to get rid of it and my computer keeps crashing. I ran scandisk standard check in safemode. When I tried to run a thorough check, it said that it keeps restarting because a program is running in the background. I can't figure out what is running. I also ran McAfee in safemode to check for viruses. It found no infected files. Then,I tried to do a system restore, but it said there was insufficient space. I don't know what this scanpm is or where it came from. It seems to be a dos program. Can anyone help. Tag: Shut Down Tag: 216326

    - Programs take long time to start When I startup the computer, and after WinMe starts, sometimes it takes like 30 sec. for ZoneAlarm, and then my internet connection s/w to start.

It seems to always be the same few programs, and I've tried reinstalling them. Any ideas? Thx. Tag: Shut Down Tag: 216324

    - Problem with e-mail I am hoping someone can help me. I did a virus scan on my computer the other day and had a win32.Benny.6382. Mcafee was little help but now my scan is coming up clean EXCEPT when I do a free one on line. But now when I go to my outlook express I get a message that says MSIMN has caused an error in kernel32.dll. Msimn will now close. I can't send e-mails and i don't have anytime to read e-mails before that message comes up. I went through my HP help icon but I get an error that says HTTP error 404 and my virus scan icon comes on about suspious activity. Mcafee is no longer helping me because htey say I have no virus, HP I can't get in touck with and Verizon had me reinstall my outlook and I got no where. Now they say the virus may have done some damage and they suggested I come here. PLease keep in my that I know little about the computers except how to check my e-mail.
