    - power problem I'm running my ME pc from a power buss that sometimes gets turned on and off. It powers other gear that may be on while my pc is off. The buss gets turned off periodically, too. The thing that's puzzling me, is that even if I turn my pc off, it magically comes back on once the buss power returns. As long as there's buss power, the pc will stay off. But, when the buss power is turned off then on again, the pc thinks it needs to power up without being commanded to via the power switch on the front of the pc. What's going on here? Something simple, I'm sure. Probably even an operator problem???? Tag: Shutdown message Tag: 252107

    - FYI, Noel Paton Greetings Noel. Just letting you know that not all problems on a ME computer are Symantec Norton A/V related.. The problems I was having with start-ups into the C:\root directory have been located. It was a conflict with Java. I disabled the Java and no more problems.. As for the random named files in the root directory, again it was found to be a movie viewer working with Java to leave a temp file in the root directory.. Sorry to disappoint you.. RTS Better luck next time.. :o) Tag: Shutdown message Tag: 252102

    - Numerous Windows errors I am unsure of what to do. Here are the symptoms. I tried to load the ie6 update but it could not finish loading. I got an error message stating that "setup could not continue due to a previous installation has pending work. You need to reboot your computer to complete that installation before completing Internet Explorer setup. Setup will now close." I read a post that seemed close to my problem that indicated that I should run wininit.exe but the file cannot be run from windows and the computer will not restart in DOS mode. I even tried to rename the file as suggested but all that did was create a message at startup that said the file wininit.exe could not be found. I then thought maybe my windows install is corrupted so I would reinstall the OS, but the intall fails about a third of the way through. I know that I could nuke my drive but that would prove to be catatrophic. You all have always been very good in helping me. Can you help me recover from this? Nothing will install untill I can resolve the pending installation of ie6 update Tag: Shutdown message Tag: 252084

    - 1603: Error installing Windows Installer Engine My hard drive was reloaded today (Windows ME). I have version 6.0.2800.1106 with SP 1. I've checked for Windows updates and it says that I have no updates or Service Packs needed (other than some foreign language stuff). When I attempt to load software, I get this message: 1603: Error installing windows installer engine. A file which needs to be replaced may be held in use. Close all applications and try again. I close all apps and restart and get the same message. When I press ok, I then get this message: The installation package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer Service. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. CK Tag: Shutdown message Tag: 252058

    - No Shut down button Hello all, I have a problem that makes no sense. I can no longer shutdown my ME box from the start bar. When I click start>shutdown....the pop up box only gives me the option of Log Off or Restart. My box is virus free, and I have removed all current traces of ad/spyware. Is there a registry key that's possibly messed up? Could this be corruption from the My Doom virus I had about a month ago? Any help would be great. Thanks, Brian Tag: Shutdown message Tag: 252035

    - Hibernate Mode Freeze Hi, I just reinstaled Windows Me on my Dell Dimension 4300. Everything was fine until I downloaded IE 6.x. After the restart it went into Hibernate Mode (by itself). I could not get out of Hibernate Mode so I restarted the machine and a message pops up saying "that the Hibernate Mode failed to exit correctly do I wish to disable the Hibernate Mode?" I said yes the screen goes blank and after multipal restarts the machine goes strait into Hibernate Mode. Why is this happening? What can I do to fix this? If I must reinstal the software again what can I do to avoid this from happening? Thank You in advance! Moti Tag: Shutdown message Tag: 252031

I have the latest F-Prot program and definitions on my hard drive and would like to copy them into the F- Prot.cab file on the floppy disk. WinZip and WinRar can both read the cab file, but neither seems to be able to write to it.

    - Combat Flight Simulator Loads Very Slow! I'm not sure where else to post this, but I know MS folks cruise it regularly so any help appreciated. Combat Flight Simulator CFS1 loads VERY slowly - especially when it says "Please wait while mission loads". Now, I'm running a Celeron 600 on a CUSL2 MOBO w/ 512 Meg ram & 32 meg GeForce 2 video card. I'm running WinME with all the latest video drivers, direct x 9, windows updates etc. I've scanned & defragged, run MSConfig & shut down all but Explorer to no avail. I've disabled the intro movie & edited the .exe file with a hex editor to not require the CD to run it, so the cdrom won;t be a choke point. I've monkey'd with the Swap file & system.ini file : here are the various snippets: [386Enh] ebios=*ebios woafont=dosapp.fon device=*dynapage device=*vcd device=*vpd device=*int13 display=*vdd,*vflatd mouse=*vmouse, msmouse.vxd EMMExclude=C000-CFFF,C000-CFFF,C000-CFFF PagingDrive=C: MinPagingFileSize=1024000 device=*enable MaxPagingFileSize=1024000 [vcache] MaxFileCache=524288 I also tried & removed this line: ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1 Nothing really seems to make any difference - except the vcache causes the menu screens to react much better. Is there some hardware or driver compatibility issue here? Is directx9 trying to emulate directx6 and takes a while to do some kind of conversions? The hard drive isn't going nuts while this is loading either. Tag: Shutdown message Tag: 252019
