    - Keyboard Problems My PS/2 keyboard doesn't work at all. The only sign of it actually being connected is when the "Caps Lock", "Scroll Lock" , and "Num Lock" keys light up just as I turn on the computer. In Device Manager, there is no keyboard listed, but the keyboard worked once. I installed the software that came along with my keyboard, but it still doesn't work. If I have to install the Windows driver for the keyboard, I don't have it available, since my Windows ME cd is lost. Tag: Re: Spyware Blaster Update 20.02.06 Tag: 279080

    - Clogged Arteries??? Hi from Ohio, Running a Dell 4100, 40G, 11G used 28G remaining, 512 RAM, McAfee, Zone Alarm, Popup Stopper, Ad-Aware. I have Belarc, CW shredder, Spy Bot, Spyware Blaster, Registry Mechanic, all the Microsoft Office programs, etc. I have about 90/95 icons on my desktop. Some of these are folders with about 1300 MB of pictures in the various ones. On a reboot my resources are 69/72 and GDI is 91%. Sometimes these resourses seem to disappear even with very little open. Booting is slow as if every program is checking for updates at the same time. The mouse is erattic during this time. The icons all look the same like a dog eared sheet of paper with one red and one blue dot. Then they start putting on their costumes so I can recognize them without reading the subtitles. They pop out one at a time like the stars a night. I don't have a CD burner and it would be a little tough to get a lot of that stuff on a zip. Have run everything and have found no spyware. Last week McAfee reported a virus that could not be deleted or immunized.I finally had to disable system restore and restart it. It was acting a little strange anyway. Some of the old check points were not working. Ocassionally when I go back to my desktop my little icons have put their masks back on and I have to hit refresh. Yes Noel, I got rid of Norton a long time ago. Occasionally my mouse sputters or a game might slow down but I think that is Mailwasher checking the mail. Outlook is set to check only manually. Thanks guys and gals. Kelly Ohio Tag: Re: Spyware Blaster Update 20.02.06 Tag: 279072

    - SRDISKID.DAT I replaced my CD-ROM with a CD-DVD COMBO drive, made by Samsung and supported by german software, as I understand it. Installation was flawless and it works beautifully, with bountyful features, including backup. When I checked my SR, I had lost my System Check Points and the C_Restore folder's content was replaced with "SRDISKID.DAT", a 1KB Nero Show Time File. Is there a way to correct this situation and, if so, how? Harry. Tag: Re: Spyware Blaster Update 20.02.06 Tag: 279069

    - Winmt32 has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL I was trying to upgrade to Windows 2000 Professional and I know this is not a recommended path but Win2000 is much more sorted. It goes well until it starts checking the files for incompatibility and then I get the message above and I have to abort the process. I have not yet found what Wnmt32 is or what causes the problem. I am hosed because I recently installed broadband and Outlook Express now crashes before connecting so no e-mail. If someone has a cure for that, maybe I don't need Win 2000.

    - Sound Stutters My PC has developed a real problem with stuttering sound, even the windows start up music is distorted. The stuttering is there on both speakers and headphones. I can't pin it down to any specific action on my part. Device Manager shows no problems or conflicts. I have tried 3 different sound cards, including Audigy2NX which is an external USB device, but they all have exactly the same symptoms. I have replaced the drivers on my video card, Radeon 9800XT AGP, and have also tried running it as just a standard VGA device, but to no avail. I have also tried upgrading the chipset drivers (Intel 875P). The problem is still there with no background processes running except explorer, state mgr and systray. My system is MSI 875P Neo ICH5 mobo with pentium 4 2.8hz and 512MB DDR RAM. Increasing RAM to 1GB made no difference. Temperatures all seem ok. Antivirus, Spyware and Adware scans are all clear. Any advice would be much appreciated. Stephen Tag: Re: Spyware Blaster Update 20.02.06 Tag: 278963

    - Transferring Files and Settings - easy? I'm planning to migrate from one WinME PC to another. Googling for PC-migration tips takes you to MS who tell you how great XP is, with its 'Files and Settings Transfer Wizard'...but ME doesn't have any such wizard. Is there any straightforward way to transfer all the basics within ME? (The relevant XP bit mentions specifically Summary of migrated settings Migrated setting groups include: ? Internet Explorer settings ? Outlook Express settings and store ? Outlook settings and store ? Dial-Up connections ? Phone and modem options ? Accessibility ? Screen saver selection ? Fonts ? Folder options ? Taskbar settings ? Mouse and keyboard settings ? Sounds settings ? Regional options ? Office settings ? Network drives and printers ? Desktop folder ? My Documents folder ? My Pictures folder ? Favorites folder ? Cookies folder ? Common Office file types Which seems like a pretty good sweep. Is there any easy way to transfer all this stuff ME -> ME?

    - Deleted files don't show up in Recycle Bin I have found the Recycle Bin in W98SE and ME is very easily corrupted, so what caused the change in behavior this time, I don't recall. When I delete files, at shutdown each day, my cleaner utility shows the combined size of the files it cleans out of the Recycle bin, so I know the files are really there. But nothing shows. Past advice in W98 ng gave this advice to solve the problem: quote: ----- Here is how to Deltree the Recycle Bin. 1. Use ME boot disk, start in A prompt 2. Enter "deltree C:\recycled" 3. Repeat for each partition you may have with a Bin, for instance "Deltree D:\Recycled". 4. Shutoff, or EXIT to get back to Windows. 5. Create garbage.txt empty file. 6. Delete the file to recreate the Recycle Bin. ------ end quote It does not work in ME, it works fine in W98SE. Yes, I have checked "show all hidden files", etc. I have 75% free space on the hard drive. Check shows no virus or spyware. Advice? TIA MS Tag: Re: Spyware Blaster Update 20.02.06 Tag: 278794

    - Just Wanted to Say Thanks for All the Good Information I have a custom made PC that was built in late 98 and a few months ago I started getting the error "unable uo update ESCD" on boot but windows would go ahead and load. A look on the internet said it was the bios chip on the motherboard gone bad so I went to a couple of local PC builders and was told to junk the PC. I found another Asus P299 motherboard on eBay for $10.00 so I got it and swapped out the bios chip and then updated the bios to the latest version. I had always been afraid to try this before. Disabled things I don't use in bios, serial ports, parallel port, etc.and then decided to reformat and reinstall Windows. Downloaded all the various drivers and put them on a CD, did all the Windows updates. Next I installed Office XP only installing the features I actually use and then did the same thing with the rest of my software. It's amazing how stable WinMe can be and how fast it boots (6sec) and shuts down (3sec) when it's installed properly and and doesn't have a bunch of useless stuff loading at startup. Over the years I've printed many messages from this newsgroup and they were invaluable in configuring and eliminating glitches. A few things I remembered how to do like switching from APM which ME installed to ACPI but many of them I had completely forgotten. It might have been silly to put all this time into an old PC but It was a good project to focus on while awaiting surgery for prostate cancer and I learned a lot about PCs. Even got the nerve to do a bios update to my XP Pro machine. Again, thanks for taking the time to help people with their problems. Al Tag: Re: Spyware Blaster Update 20.02.06 Tag: 278696
