    - Mouse/cursor is not communicating in ME Hi, all of a sudden, I turned on the pc and the screen looked different. It has the same look as when you go into safe mode. big pixels and icons. Also, for some reason, the mouse doesnt do anything. I tried to do everything by just using the keyboard but the fact remains that the cursor and mouse lost contact with my ME pc. can you give me some trouble shooting tips. I have restarted endless times and nothing helps. Like I said, the whole icons and look resemble as when you go into safe mode. ALSO, what can I do to "X" out of a page by using the keyboard in case a fix to this problem takes longer for me to get, thank you One more thing. I see the a little "hand" on one of the icons on the desk top and it is stuck on one of my programs. It is the same little hand to 'select' something as if grabbing. -- Thanks so very much for your help-! ! ! ! Tag: Spywareblaster Update, 10/29/07 Tag: 292189

    - Adaware problem,,,, again Hello to all,, Been a while,,, I have flipping well forgotton how to fix/repair/make-work the stupid adaware program. I keep forgetting to come in here and ask;; It is now showing 45 days out of date, (due to everytime I try to update, it does the "5% error thing". ) and then I go off and do something else... I have Asquared, and Spybot, and SpyBlaster and etc.... and now,, I really wonder if flipping adaware is worth all the hassle? I run the others like I normally would,, and havent had a problem... but,,, still have a soft-spot for adaware. Is this whole thing to do with adaware forcing people to update the whole thing? Anyway,,, was just going to bed, thought I'd do all my updates,, and remembered this. J Tag: Spywareblaster Update, 10/29/07 Tag: 292176

    - Help: Getting Files Off My WindowsMe PC I probably have the worst luck of anyone in history when it comes to anyhting associated with Microsoft. My first two computers when down taking everything with them. My secondary harddrives, my Jazz drives, my Zip drives, my other apps for transferring data between systems have all failed me when I needed them. I am now on my third internet pc and the warning signs are there. The pc is grossly outdated and I need another. Since my Zip drive no longer works with this pc either, I just picked up a 4.0G Sandisk Cruzer (since no other option is working), and I'm having difficulties getting my system to find and install it. I do not have "Add New Hardware" in my control panel and do not know why. There is an icon on the taskbar, but no other reference on my system to the drive that is plugged into my USB port. I'm experiencing a massive number of pc problems, so time is running short. Any ideas on what to do next would be appreciated. Thanks. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York.

    - Ugrading from Windows ME to XP I gave my stepmother an old computer. The computer originally had Windows 98 on it and upgraded it to XP Home addition. She recently passed away and we are disposing of the computer. This computer is actually older than my father's computer which has ME on it. Can I take my operating disks from the the computer that will be disposed of and install them on my Dad's computer which has Windows ME on it? The system was licensed to the old computer. If we can't do that, we probably will switch out the drives, but it will still be easier to upgrade my Dads than doing all the switching. When I upgraded the computer I gave to my mom, I put in a new hard drive. Because I had also replaced the monitor and the printer, we had a miserable time getting XP to be valid. We spent hours with Microsoft on the phone (It was free then). Will have this same problem if I try to upgrade my Dad's computer??? Remember . . .The other computer is too old to give away so we are getting rid of. Tag: Spywareblaster Update, 10/29/07 Tag: 292086

    - need installation disk We've got an hp pavilion 8775c computer that was in the trash. It was full of viruses, so I erased the harddrive (windows me). I installed win98 on it. I then purchased the recovery cds. The computer doesn't have the original sound card (I added a new one) and I added extra memory. The recovery cds (which install windows me) is not recognizing the computer although these cds are for this model. (The mainboard is the original one.) The computer has a sticker for windows me on it with the software key. I'm looking for a copy of an installation disk for windows me (upgrade or new) that I can use to reinstall windows me - or any suggestions on how to get these recovery cds to function. (They're original recovery cds from hp). Thanks for any help. Tag: Spywareblaster Update, 10/29/07 Tag: 292069

    - Explorer..Shell32.dll Explorer has cause an error in Shell32.dll. Explorer will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restating your computer. This error popped up first time while adding an MP3 file to Winamp 5.1. I clicked close. The mp3 file however got added and played normally. I noticed that Modem and Soundcard icons have dissppeared from the Quick Launch bar leaving Volume icon only. But both of them remained active. Restarting the computer made no change. I soon found out other players ( Total Recorder, Cooledit) are acting similarly. Scanreg... reports no error in registry. Reinstalled the windows and the players and still the same position.

    - Help: I Can Only Load Pages For Several Minutes My old Compaq pc with WindowsME only allows me to surf the internet for several minutes. It will then completely stop loading pages and in order to temporarily fix the problem I have to reboot. At first I thought it was Verizon(which had gone down a couple of days ago), but has hoping someone can give me advice on what to check and do next if it is my system itself. Sometimes I can't even save an image because the system "thinks" there is not enough room on my drive even though it is a 4g that has 6-700mb free. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    - Floppy disk, do I need it? I'm strongly considering a new desktop computer and notice that many (most?) of them no longer include a slot for floppy disks. I feel like I'd be losing something that might be necessary, even though I very rarely use that feature any longer. I believe there are accessory floppy disk readers/writers available, but are they worth the trouble and expense? What will I lose if I have no floppy disk ability at all?

    - Tab Issues Hi all, I am not sure which catagory this question belongs in, so pardon me if Im sending it to the wrong group... My problem is this: My TAB button on my keyboard will not move my cursor. For example, when signing into my Yahoo email, I'll input my username, and then press the tab button to move the cursor down so I can put in my password, but it will not move. Yet if I am on a regular webpage, the tab button will function just fine. I thought it was a keyboard problem, even though every other function worked just fine..I went and purchased a new keyboard anyway. But I am still having the same problem, so it cannot be the keyboard. I didnt always have this problem, it just started maybe 2 months ago or so...but its darn annoying. Anyone have any idea of why it's doing this? Any settings that I can alter or is there something I may have altered that I shouldnt have? Thanks in advance! .................................................... You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.

    - Have memory leaks? Hibernate... I'd mentioned a few days back that Hibernate seems to do an excellent job of cleaning up memory leaks altho my hibernations (only) averaged about 10 seconds. Like catnaps, these short hibernation sessions seemed to really revitalize the system performance. I'm sorry if I'm beating on a dead horse but I have seen no mention of a refreshing and memory cleansing associated with hibernate. A reboot has always been needed to get such a refreshing effect. I have to report a couple errata... First the (System Monitor) reported available memory after Hibernating is 366 MB, not 300 MB (on a 512 MB RAM system). Second, and probably more significant, the nature of my hibernate sessions has changed and I can't explain why. Today true hibernation occurs. The other day I said the extent of a hibernation session was about 10 seconds. After 10 seconds my computer resumed operation with the memory cleansed from (plus an increment from 244 MB max to 300 MB max). At first Start ->Shutdown->Hibernate was followed in a second or two by a black screen and the green Power On Led at the front of the monitor going off. Eight seconds after that the monitor would regain power and shows the usual desk top. That has changed and the monitor is NOT automatically returning to active status. Instead the computer appears to shutdown. The fans on the PSU and CPU turn off. The leds that I usually look at show the system is off go off. It stays that way even if I mouse or press keys on the keyboard including Ctrl-Alt-Del. When I press the Power-on button at the front of the chassis, hold it for a second or two, then it appears to do a normal restart except, after the usual boot-up messages appear on the screen, something like a white status bar appears at the bottom of the screen with a message about Hibernation is over. A few seconds everything appears to be better as I reported previously. Bottom line is my original report that System Monitor indicates Hibernate cleans up memory leaks plus adds another increment of memory for the Users space still seems valid. But, instead of taking just ten seconds and with no other user action, now it appears that one will go thru a true hibernation cycle and these take me at least a minute. Hope this helps, Bob Tag: Spywareblaster Update, 10/29/07 Tag: 291920

    - Spybot S&D Hello, I just upgraded from version 1.4 to 1.5 Problem(s): 1) It takes about 2 minutes to get the Spybot screen loaded before it shows on the computer screen. 2) I honestly don't know what settings I should have on/off. 3) Thinking of uninstalling version 1.5 & going back to version 1.4. Any ideas as of why the new version is such a hog on computer resources? Way too slow to load. Also, what's the best way to go back to the older version - without affecting any files that might be left over throughout the system/registry.

    - upgrading ME to XP HI, someone has an ad in the newspaper that is selling an older pc that she says she loaded it with XP and it runs good. However, in the event of a reinstall needed, the recovery disks will be reloaded with ME (which she will provide with the newly upgraded older pc) Just what kind of differences (physically and mechanically, etc) will there be if an older pc is upgraded from an ME, to an XP home edition. I have a 2 yr old laptop with XP home. WIll the windows, icons, prompts, etc look the same on both pcs with XP even though older pc had ME once? hope my question makes sense as I havent seen the older pc w/Xp Tag: Spywareblaster Update, 10/29/07 Tag: 291889

    - GOOD NEWS! Memory Leak Work Around -> Hibernate A couple days ago, while running the System Monitor, I tried Start -> Shutdown -> Hibernate again. Good news! It appears to have a very positive affect in cleaning up memory leaks. We've been using winME at our home ever since it came out in 2000 or whenever. I have been constantly amazed at the bad press it receives because it has worked so well for us. At first I really liked its Movie Maker (had some help from MS before it was dependable with our old Sony VX1000). Also the Sony Blue Ray worked altho Sony told us it wouldn't. Since Internet Explorer 6.0, it definitely got worse. I put IE6.0 on twice. The first time up the system was such a pain that I figured out how to get it off and went back to IE5.5 after a week. I think it was a couple years and possibly more before we were somewhat coerced into trying IE6 again. Probably because the Intuit tax software demanded it. The system tolerated IE6 much better this time but still not as well as IE5 or 5.5. Anyway, this summer, July I think, I became curious about the non- default abilities of the System Monitor, turned it on and went thru them again. This time it seemed to be a good predictor of when system performance was beginning to slide. So we now have it on autostart and keep it up 24/7 (drag most of it off the right side of the screen). I've been watching two graphs: the Memory Manager: Unused physical memory and the Kernel Processor Usage. That has been an eyeopening experience. Almost immediately, I could see what appear to be major memory leaks - something worth complaining about. But a little Googling quickly found this has been widely reported for a long time. So I didn't waste anybody's time. The Kernel Processor Usage also looks bizarre. But that might only be due to my not understanding what this graph is supposed to show. I have long used performance meters, most recently I've used the basic NT4 performance meters. With that experience, this ME graph seems to reflect the system cpu utilization. It has the word "kernel" in the title so perhaps there is a "non-kernel" component to cpu utilization. Even so, what it appears to show is not good. After an hour or so, the cpu resources are about 75% consumed even when "resting" - the user doing nothing. The main work would have to be Virus checking and network monitoring (monitoring a Cox Cable Modem and maybe Bluetooth?). As for Hibernate - I think it worked for us initially. But it (or Standby?) normally comes on automatically - the screen saver comes on first cycling thru My Pictures for about 10 minutes then the computer goes to sleep (Black screen) so I seldom go thru the Start Button to turn on Hibernate (Start->Shutdown->Hibernate). Nowdays, it doesn't really work. The system hibernates for about 10 seconds then wakes up! But System Monitor does show whatever the current memory leaks are, it fixes them in 10 seconds.

    - Update ME to XP My parents purchased a digital camera which did not support ME. I installed XP. Now it appears that my mothers files are there, but not the programs. It tries to open them in wordpad. Therefore it gives odd symbals. rather than what she had in her document. It also eliminated her address book in outlook express. I do not see her virus protection either. Please help to get this back. I have not installed anything since this happened. -- Joe Tag: Spywareblaster Update, 10/29/07 Tag: 291884

    - Copying WinME Feature to Win98SE I remember that, when the Recycle Bin first came out, it was useless for restoring files deleted from a floppy disk. So I copied Windows Undelete from the old install of Win3.1 to Win95, and it worked fine. I still use it with Win98 floppy disks. I want to do the opposite of that. I want to copy the following features of WinME to a CD before I uninstall WinME, and restore these feature after I restore Win98SE. C:\Windows\DVDPlay.exe Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Communications>Universal Plug and Play Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>System Tools>Compressed Folders Control Panel>Taskbar and StartMenu Windows Movie Maker Windows System Restore anything that I'm missing that you think would be useful in Win98SE Thanks for your help!

    - ME...DOS ERROR 4 I had been running a Clipper application successfully for the last 18 months. A few days ago I reinstalled ME after formating my hard-disk's C partition. I have 40 Gb HD, partitioned as C and D. The following statements used previously were duly incorporated: Autoexec.bat Clipper = F100 Windows\system.ini [386Enh] PerVMFiles=120 The application now does not run and gives a Dos Error 4. Increasing the Files statement upto 240 made no difference. Installed the application afresh but no success. Any ideas, hints, advise ?? Tag: Spywareblaster Update, 10/29/07 Tag: 291851

When doing so, it shows *twice* "" for open & close quotes & also twice for single quotes: '' How can be this be fixed. Looked at Control Panel | keyboard & didn't find a solution.

It was there yesterday, but perhaps you got it after midnight or some
such. I give up trying to figure out time zones (which I do know) and
when a product update comes out.

Figgs, always a day early!!

That's the correct date, Loom.
This time we all were 'a day late'.
