    - Starting problems I am having significant problems in running my computer, which has Windows Me installed and works on a Celeron chip. Every time I start my computer, the scan drive starts (probably because the last time the computer was not shut properly) but then it never completes the scanning even after 30-40 minutes. Finally, I cancel it and then it shows me the Windows screen. At this time, as the desktop screen is getting fully loaded, I can move my mouse but within 30-40 seconds, the mouse is immobile. I can't do anything either with the key board or the mouse. Even Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work, so I have to only take switch off the power to restart the computer. Can anyone tell me what I can do about this? I also ran Spybot and Adaware when I was once able to get to it very quickly before the mouse and keyboard hung up. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

    - folder icons A few years ago I changed an icon for the folders that use only default icons [in windows explorer (cdrive)]. I tried to change it to another icon that I liked better but I couldn't figure out how. Sometime later the default icon came back until yesterday when I changed the icon for my documents with display properties/effects. Now my icon is back which is great but I want to use a different icon. I don't know how I did it and I have even tried to search the pc for the icon that is being used thinking I could backtrack and find it but I can't find it. Any ideas?

    - Start + Documents = Empty When pressing Start + Documents the recently used documents come up empty. I'd like to be able to maintain some history again. Recently I posted the same problem and was given a response. I can't find either one. Could someone point me in the right direction? BTW, I have no idea what a "Group Policy" is. This is a single user machine if that is important. Thank you. /Tom Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269801

    - Fatal Exception Error OE 0028 C0030AEC I was not able to complete a Windows update and followed instructions to delete iuhist.xml, iuctl.dll and iuengine.dll from all windows folders. Since doing this I get random crashes with the 0028 error at c0030aec location. I have not found any reference to this error at MS support. I have reinstalled Win ME which has takken care of the windows update problem but still get the random crashes with the same error message. I think I have a registry problem.

    - network failure Today I notice that my WinME (ICS host) and WinXP (client) can't communicate (simple peer to peer setup). First clue was when I couldn't send a print job from my ME to the XP where the printer is connected. XP pc reports "network unplugged". A forced "disable" and then an "enable" doesn't help. I also notice that the little lights for the network cards are not lit up. I thought they would normally BE lit up if the computers are on, right? However.. the lights on the network cards/ports on BOTH machines are off. Could both network cards have failed simulateously? Any ideas on what to do? I've since rebooted both machines in various order. No difference. The network is dead. The lack of network card lights concerns me, and puzzles me. Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269744

    - How can I fix my Blue Screen? I have been getting some blue screens this past few weeks. Just as i think i have sorted it (by uninstalling software), it comes back again. They all seem pretty similar. The last one said at the top of the screen... FILE_SYSTEM and at the bottom the stop error was 0x00000022 (0x000202EF,0x8266C900,0x8266C848,0x82E11A48) I have installed and uninstalled several types of software and so have no idea which it could be especially as the blue screens are random on startup (not everytime but generally after the computer has been off a while). I'm not prepared to try a hit and miss approach with uninstalling software as that can create problems in itself it would seem. I'm not a computer techy but i'm i'm not a computer dummy either. Can anyone help me fix this using laymans terms, i haven't got a clue when it comes to system registry and dumo files and the like. I have looked on the microsoft knowledge base but can't find ny info that makes any sense to me. Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269701

    - Dialup problem I wonder if someone could give me a hand? My son's ME machine has been giving problems and I've just reinstalled Windows following difficulties with CWS trojans, but I don't think this is related because it predates that. When you try to dialup, it won't connect, reporting 'no dial tone.' The line is fine and I can hear a dial tone if I connect a phone. Once the computer has failed to connect, the line is dead and people dialling in hear an engaged tone. The only way to clear it is to pull out the phone plug and reboot the machine. Then, on the phone, I can hear dialling tones (but this might be something to do with the NTL box I have). I can stop this by pulling out the NTL plug. Any ideas? I've tried making a new dialup connection but no joy. -- David Brear Habitat http://www.habitat.org.uk/news1.htm Daily wildlife & environment news from the British Isles Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269688

    - Java Download--for Windows ME Hello: I presently have the Microsoft Version 1.1.4 of Java Technology. I'm told this is an older version. 1) How compatible is the 5.0 version from Java .com : http://www.java.com/en/download/download_the_latest.jsp with Windows ME? From there website, it seems it might be OK, but wondering how smoothly it would function with this OS.... 2) Is it necessary to uninstall anything prior to installing this? Or can it simply be installed on top of what's already there? I use Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 SP1 Thanks in advance: Ira Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269668

    - HELP : Can't make ".reg" file work ! Hi there, I had a problem with ActiveSync but managed to find an answer to the problem on the following Microsoft page :- http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;836152 I have followed the instructions on the Microsoft page to the letter ! I am using Windows ME and ActiveSync V3.8 Build 5004. The problem is when I click on the ".reg" file which I created, as it tells you to do in the instructions, (I called it "ActiveSync.reg") and say "Yes, add to registry", I then get the Error Message telling me :- "The specified file is not a registry file. You can only import registry files" The Icon for the file looks correct for a registry file (I have used this type of file before) ... any suggestions please as to what is the matter ?

    - comctl32.dll My WindowsME is behaving rather erratically, and I wonder if it hasn't got to do with the captioned DLL. When clicking properties, my computer tells me that my version, 5.81, is for Windows 2000. About 50% of the time my machine halts on the initial login, not letting me click past username and login. (as an aside, I was told that I should have a username and password, else my saved logins and passwords for web browsers won't work) One of the time that it halted, the DLL listed was the only file running. So, I can do some more research, just thought maybe this was a softball for someone.

    - WinMe Explorer grinds to a halt after many-many-many folder creations/deletions/renames Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night I am constantly having to reboot WinMe here due to a high level of maintenance (rearrangement) activity on my 3 HDD's. I'm moving/copying folders and folders and folders and folders (!) from one place to another [to split things between this and a second PC] but after doing a lot of folder maintenance (creation/rename/deletion) Explorer just takes in commands (like a double-click to open a folder) and just sits there for up to 5 minutes doing nothing (to the external eye). A three-finger shuffle shows the Explorer task (with the folder name) as "not responding". The only solution that works after this is a reboot. And sometimes this reboot has to be a one-finger push (the reset button). Do I just have TOO many folders and files for WinMe? Current situation is: C: 3235 folders, 72036 files 20GB, FAT32 16K clusters D: 1408 folders, 48184 files 40GB, FAT32 32K clusters E: 352 folders, 27069 files 10GB, FAT32 8K clusters Anyone seen anything like this before in WinMe?

    - Now it won't start ... I've been messing about with my son's machine and eventually managed to get rid of hundreds of trojans - it ran like a dream. Ha, thought I, now's the time to get rid of that silly password logon business - so I went to Control Panel and changed the password to blank. No problem. Now the bootup process stops when I see the desktop background - no icons, no taskbar. If I boot into Safe Mode, all I can see is the words Safe Mode in each corner - nothing to click on at all. So what can I do???? The other thing that's funny is that the internet dialup is weird - if I switch the machine on connected to the phone line, there's no dialling tone. The only way to get rid of this is to unplug the machine from the phone and reboot - which means I can't use the dialup. Hopefully these will be two separate problems and someone will be able to help with either or both. The first has got me foxed, I must say. -- David Brear Habitat http://www.habitat.org.uk/news1.htm Daily wildlife & environment news from the British Isles Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269529

    - Ping Mike M Mike This is a follow-up to a problem with SR. As background I sought help 3 weeks ago because although set at ~300 MB, SR was at 1.7 GB. You advised to blow away the entire archive and start over, which I did as per your detailed instructions on June 6, 2005. 3 weeks later and although set at 383 MB, SR is now up to 853 MB, encompassing 2067 files, 5 folders. It only indicates two restore dates; June 6 - Restore operation, Manual checkpoint, System checkpoint June 14 - Windows update. As a separate issue, I note that KB891711 is still listed in CLOSE PROGRAM. I assume it's not related but thought I should disclose. I don't mind blowing away the entire archive manually every once in a while if this can't be fixed but thought I should come back and ask for your opinion.

I've copied over the files that I want from the old hard drive to the new one-no problems there.

I've got the old hard drive and I know how to hook it up to the new computer, but I'm not sure how to get the program transfered and installed on the new drive.

    - Sound problem I just put a hard drive with ME already installed on it in a Gateway GP7-500. After several reboots to let the drivers all get installed, I wound up with a clean device manager. The sound card is Creative SoundBlaster Audio PCI (WDM). But no sound. If I go into Sound Properties under Audio there is no device present and everything is greyed out. I went under the Devices tab and confirmed that "Use Audio Features on this Device" was chosen. But still no joy. Of course in Device Manager it says "this device is working properly". I might point out that I put the original drive with Windows 98 on back in and the sound worked fine. I also went to the Gateway site and downloaded the specified drivers, uninstalled the card (drivers AND physically), put it back in a different slot and reinstalled it with the drivers from Gateway. Same exact results. Anyone got any ideas? I'm going to go Googling now, but I really don't know what to type in! -- --- A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother. --- Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269444

I get the message "tahoma already installed, delete old version first", and cannot delete the existing version. Nothing happens when I try to delete it - the "delete" is just ignored.

    - Kernel 32 Caused a General Protection Fault and also MSN Errors ME, IE 6, Dell 4100 series. 20 gigabytes hard drive, 256 mb ram. While on a "Scientific American" website and while SpyDoctor was scanning for "infections," I received the following message in black on a white background box: Kernel 32 caused a general protection fault in module KRNL386.EXE at 0001.000075a8. My puter was frozen and ctrl-alt-del did nothing, so I had to use the emergency reboot button. I suspect this was caused by SpyDoctor, but I don't know. Upon start up, I also receive the following messages: "Internet Explorer Script Error Line 20 Char 1 Error object expected Code 0 url: http://t.msn.com/en-us/default.aspx?ver=7.0.0777&did=1 Do you want to continue running script on this page?" I click No several times, but the message reappears, sometimes with Line 7 instead of 20. Last time this happened (after the puter loaded), I had to click 7 times. This appears related to an msn site. Before I was getting that message, I would receive an MSN newsflash box, together with my hotmail entries, which I did not want to appear. So, I downloaded "Startup Cop" and deleted the MSN site (msnmsgr.exe) from appearing at start up. However, in order to access my hotmail, when I clicked on the little pawn in the Systray, the site automatically undeleted itself from the startup cop menu. I can live with that, but now it doesn't appear, but these annoying messages do. Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269376

    - Frozen or slow OEM logo at boot Good morning, afternoon or evening (as the case may). I am currently running the following: Win Me 4.90.3000, IE 5.50.4807.2300 with my trusty Outlook Express 5.50.4807.1700. My startups are ZA 2.6.362, Spyblocker 5.0 and AVG 7.0.308. The hardware is a Dell 4100 933mhz 256mb ram and 20gb generic IDE disk drive (type 47). As my subject header implies when I first boot-up the OEM logo stays up for about 45 seconds. Normally it flashes by so quickly it is barely seen. I have to admit my first action was to reset my computer after about 10 seconds approx. 5 times in row. While reading a manual the computer was able to complete the boot. I "googled" this group with the query "slow start +WinME". I tried some of the suggestions, namely msconfig and restore point with no success. During the boot process I noticed the cd-rom drive light would come on but I couldn't hear the "A" drive. I placed my boot floppy in the "A" drive but the computer would not read it. At that point I goggled "can't access floopy drive" generally (Sadly, I have to admit I derived some pleasure from the number of linux people who had the same problem) and on this group. I thought the problems were related so I checked bios and the floppy was there and the boot order is correct. After sleeping on it, I decided to check to see if there was a cd in the player. Grasping at that straw, I found I wasn't able to get it to open. Looking in explorer, I don't see the CD or the CD-RW drive although the A and C drive are there. I'm going to stop here and ask for comments. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you in advance Rita Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269336

The story is this: I worked in a community centre, and we use to hire an IT company to fix the computer. However since we got them for the cheapest price for the job. They have not been the best. There is a computer running WinME, and few days ago, the IT company came and fixed the computer for some reasons. We knew they used the ME machine. Just not, it doesn't want to boot up at all. We have already elimate it is not hardware failure. That's why I want to know how can I find out when is the last time the computer was turned on. So we can prove to the company that it is their fault and have them fix the problem. I would highly appreciate for any help you give! Thank you! Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269332

    - TrendMicro Security Scan shows MS 02-065 and MS 03-023 exploit vulnerabilitities Hello: I ran the online spyware and security check at Trend Micro Housecall: The following two critical security exploits were noted: MS 02-065 MS 03-023 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS02-065.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-023.mspx I regularly install ALL critical updates for Windows ME and IE 6.0 at Windows Update, so I had assumed that I have all critical security patches installed. I am a bit perplexed as these patches go back to 2002-3. Other online security checks I have run show that all my ports are stealthed...But I guess this might be a different issue... My questions now are: 1) Could it be that I'm already protected against these exploits? Could that online reading be erroneous? 2) Are there any risks to my system by installing patches such as these? Can they be uninstalled if they create problems? Thanks in advance: -Ira ============== Windows ME with all critical updates IE 6.0 SP1 with all critical updates Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269320

    - OT: ZAPro + XP or Me? Just an FYI for those using ZAPro, especially on an XP box........this is just in case it is happening with Me, as well. There is a situation when using OE that the True Vector portion of ZAPro (vsmon.exe) will begin using up all your cpu cycles, causing the machine to bog down severely or even lock up. Zone Labs is aware and promises a fix on the next update. Until then, the workaround is to disable "Email Protection" (really not needed if your AV scans email, which may be part of the problem). I performed the workaround and have not had the problem since.....must admit that it only happened a couple of times before and was cured with a reboot, temporarily. Anyway, if you are using ZAPro, latest version, and your machine is bogging or freezing, use a process viewer to see if <vsmon.exe> in running away with the processor, 50+%..........if so, use the workaround.

    - TIF index.dat files I've been getting up to 12 TIF, Content.IEF subfolders with the usual random names. They each contain a single file named, index.dat, which resist manual deletion. I get a warning asking if I should delete the 'system files' and when I do delete them, Windows Explorer hangs for a couple minutes and then will close normally. Is this normal? I'm running IE6SP1 with broadband. All critical updates installed, malware highly unlikely. Any replies would be greatly appreciated. KB Tag: Spyware Blaster Update 07/07/05 Tag: 269300

You don't need NIS, Paul - if you can "divorce" it from NAV, I'd suggest
doing that. I've done it on a client's PC - depends on the build.
