    - Slow IE 5.5 Recently, without any notice or warning, my IE 5.5 (running on WinME) has become as slow as a sloth. If I type something in a form or address bar, it takes forever for a single letter to come out. I downloaded IE 5.5 service pack 2 from MicroSquish, and successfully installed it, but it didn't help at all. NO OTHER PROGRAM HAS THIS PROBLEM!!! While I'm on the net, I can use ANY other program (Eudora, Free Agent, Word, etc, etc, etc), with NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER!!!! I've cleaned up my temp files, cookies, etc, run scandisk and defrag, run thorough anti-virus scans, and rebooted just before hooking up to the net (i.e., IE is the 2nd thing that comes up after the connection is made). I tried download IE 6.0, but I kept getting interrupted (this was at 3 in the morning!), and when it finally completed after numerous attempts, it failed to setup properly! I like IE 5.5 (until now!), and am wondering if anyone has had the same problem and knows of a solution. Thanks for your time! ----- Bond . . . James Bond Do not reply via e-mail.

    - Can't delete a file Greetings. I was transfering data files from my old computer to my new one via zip drive. When I loaded it, there was apparently only one file, a doc file, that lost its extention in the process. I want to delete it, but can't; every time I try to do so, I get this message: "Error Deleting File or Folder. Cannot delete file: Windows in unable to find the file. This item might have already been deleted or moved. Press F5 to refresh the view of this folder". I press F5. but nothing happened. I tried to do everything I could to delete it, but nothing works. I cannot even take it out of it's folder. I am able to put this folder in the Redycling Bin; however, when I then right click on it to empty it, I get a message stating "Cannot delete ***(the file). Cannot find the specified file." What can I do? Thank you. Ben Tag: Slow IE 5.5 [Part 2] Tag: 213927

    - winme and cmdninst Hi, I am new to ME. I changed my video adapter and when rebooting my firewall(kerio) was asking permision for cmdninst to access ip 81.52.249.46 port 80. I looked this IP up and see that it is owned by the RIPE Network. I have alway blocked this IP range in my spam filters for email as it is notorius for spam origins. Why would cmdnisnt be looking to converse with this server? Should I allow or disallow this conversation? why? Thanks, Paul Coleman Tag: Slow IE 5.5 [Part 2] Tag: 213905

    - Conflict: Classical Solitaire & NSW 2004 Pro I have just installed Norton SystemWorks 2004 Professional and Norton Personal Firewall 2004 over their corresponding 2003 versions (according to Symantec's instructions). All seemingly went well. However, I find that ME's Classical Solitaire no longer functions (other games seem OK). Using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to remove the program "Csinject" allows Classical Solitaire to function normally. Although Csinject existed in previous NSW versions, this problem did not occur. Symantec recommends disabling Csinject whenever I wish to play solitaire!!! Does anyone have a reasonable solution to this problem? Tag: Slow IE 5.5 [Part 2] Tag: 213904

    - Address Book I was attempting to use the address book that comes with the accesories group under windows ME. to do a mail merge. I attempted that manuever and was told I could not use it to do a mail merge. When I cancelled the transaction, my entire "contacts" directory was somehow lost. When I quit word and simply went to the address book, it showed an old contacts list which I was sure I deleted. I thought maybe my valid list was somehow tossed into the re-cycle bin, but no, it's not there either. HELP, any suggestions? Tag: Slow IE 5.5 [Part 2] Tag: 213891

    - SEARCH- For Files and Folders Windows ME. There were several postings (including mine) from people for whom Start -Search- For Files and Folders does not work. Goggle search I did this morning produced this: http://www.assistivecomputers.com/helpfiles/Search%20for%20Files.htm Well. It works. I further found that you can go to ANY folder in Windows Explorer (Does not have to be MY Documents) , press F3 and Search dialogue comes on. You can also go to MyComputer ( icon on Desktop) - press F3 and the search dialogue comes on (and works). The only place F3 does not work for me is Desktop. Question to the experts: what stops it from working from Start- Search? Note : Several responses suggested to tick Tweak UI - Desktop- Search Results. It does not work for me. Are there different versions of Twaek UI? MikeA Tag: Slow IE 5.5 [Part 2] Tag: 213889

    - URGENT : Recycle Bin Problem Hi there, can someone please help with a Recycle Bin problem ? The problem is that when I send something to the Recycle Bin (as I always have done), when I then look in the "Recucle Bin" either using Windows Explorer or the Recycle Bin Icon on the Desktop nothing is there ! The Recycle Bin Icon shows that there IS something in the bin (i.e. "litter" is shown in it). On the "Properties" for Recycle Bin I have the "Display delete confirmation dialog" ticked. Windows explorer sees file in all the other location as normal. I have not altered anything lately but when I deleted by accident a file last night I realised I could not retrieve it in the usual way. I have been emptying the recycle bin from the Desktop icon, so I do not know how long this problem has been there. I really need to retrieve the file, so I dare not empty the recycle bin now ! Please help me ! Many Thanks, Steve Tag: Slow IE 5.5 [Part 2] Tag: 213858

    - C-Nile virus. Please is this a virus C-Nile sounds or just a hoax Copy of E-mail I received For reasons I cannot fathom, Tim Coldwell, who lives in Le Touquet, has sent the following virus warning. It is, apparently, untreatable even by the most advanced software from Norton or McAfee and seems to strike people born before 1970. Symptoms include the following: It causes you to send the same e-mail twice. It causes you to send a blank e-mail. It causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. It causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. It causes you to forget to attach the attachment. It causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. It causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND". It causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE". It's called the C-Nile virus. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - Restore file infected I have been plagued with that W32/Swen.A@mm virus, and Norton's can only quarantine the infected files. One of the quarantined files is C:\-RESTORE\temp\A0000165.cpy. Does the word, temp, mean that it is just a temporary file and not my REAL Restore file. I have disconnected the Restore function, but eventually, I would like to have that program available. I was interested that Norton's showed the words "you are still infected" even tho the files are quarantine. I guess I just wait until a solution is found to Repair. Can't I just delete these files somehow? They all are SPAM to my Inbox that I didn't realize were not a legitimate Microsoft message. Tag: Slow IE 5.5 [Part 2] Tag: 213824

    - Security Update Having a problem with the Security Updates for Windows ME. I downloaded the Security Update -- the one that needed to be installed by itself. The file downloaded properly but when the system restarted, it gave a message that it didn't really install. I can't remember the exact message. I did it again and I got the same message. Did anyone ever get stuck like that? Would a hard boot fix this problem? I am not in the same location now as the computer I had this problem with. Just for background, I had just scanned the disk, defragmented, got rid of all the temp and temp Internet files, installed new Anti-Virus software. Everything was working well. That's when I decided to see if there were any critical updates....and then! Any help would be appreciated. Mary Tag: Slow IE 5.5 [Part 2] Tag: 213797
