Win Media Player 9 and Codecs
I downloaded a movie with an .avi extension and tried to play it in WMP9. It
started looking for codecs and came back in error stating: "Class not
registered" I sought help here and got a response with two links to go to
that should help. I tried the first link which told me to identify the codec
that's missing. This info isn't listed anywhere in my error box. So I tried
the second link. O.K.....I did what I was told to do and everything listed
at the site I was directed to. The second link said to reinstall WMP9 over
existing one. I reinstalled WMP9 and nothing happened, It also said to open
the file in "mplayer.exe" to find out what codec is missing instead, it gave
me a message stating: "MMSYSTEM006 There is no driver installed on this
system". What does this mean and where
is this driver it speaks about? Thanks!
So in my response to this question....I was told to look in my DXDIAG file.
But I wasn't told what to look for. So I am asking what am I to look for in
the DXDIAG file? Tag: Start Menu Tag: 201532
photos/imaging
I used to open Image Preview by double-clicking a picture.
Since I re-formatted, it opens Picture It instead. Is
there a way to reset the computer to open Image Preview
automatically? It's annoying to have to use "open with"
every time.
Thanks to anyone. Tag: Start Menu Tag: 201531

Log Files in Windows ME
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is any time

comes up and as far as I know, there isn't any. I am just

Not being able to open attachments
I am running windows ME on a laptop that has OE 6.0 and
have been unable to open attachements on a regular basis.
Some are opened OK and others show OE message that it has
not allowed the opening of the attachment due the
possbility of a virus. When I forward the e-mail to my
desktop (running WIndows 95 and OE 5.5 I am able to open
the attachments, usually .doc or .eml files).
How can I change the settings on OE 6.0 to give me more
flexibility to open these types of attachments?
I am running Norton Virus and Grisoft virus for protection
and am thinking that this should be enough security.
Please help. It is very frustration.

On a couple of occasions recently I have tried to use System Restore

not sure what the problem is
I have Internet Explorer 6 on my computer. It is
difficult to connect if my computer has been inactive for
a while. You have to either shut down the computer and
wait a minute or two and then try to connect or restart
the computer. Then you can keep an internet connection
for about 30 minutes sometimes more sometimes less. I
have had my phone lines tested and they are fine. I have
called my ISP for tech support and they say it's not them
with the problem maybe its me. What would be causing
this? I can only get a good fast internet connection if I
shut down or restart my computer. Then if it slows down
and bumps me off if I restart/shut down my computer and
reconnect I get a good connection. What would cause that?

What is MPREXE.exe ?
I just installed Norton Personal Firewall on PC with Windows ME and have
RoadRunner internet service (cable modem).
A security alert has popped up about 20 times now for MPREXE.exe trying to
access IP addresses on the internet on port 137. Each time I set a rule to
block access to that specific program and IP address. After about 20 times
of blocking access, each to a different IP address, I set a rule to block
all access to all IP addresses and all ports.
I did a reverse IP address lookup for some of the addresses and found some
in the U.S. and one in Korea (I didn't recognize any of the site names and
didn't go to any of them).
MPREXE.exe is a small (28k) program file in the c:\windows\system32 folder.
Does anyone know what it is and why it wants so much access to the internet?

Modem for distinctive ring
I am running Windows ME and have WinFaxPro 10.0. WinFax

The easiest solution is to replace the Lucent Win Modem
with one that will support distinctive ring for
WinFaxPro. Symantic gave me a list of modems that don't
work, but not a list of those that do. My question: how
can I know, before buying and installing, that
the modem will work, i.e., that WinFax Pro, in a system
running Windows ME, will support distinctive ring on the
new modem?

Use of Shift Keys with Internet Explorer
Aloha,
This is my 3rd post to the board trying to find some help
with this small problem I have been having with my
computer for about 2 1/2 weeks. It never happened before,
but now, when I have Internet Explorer open and am viewing
a web page, and then I open another window, such as this
window I am typing into now, an email message or just a
simple microsoft word document, as soon as I hit the shift
key, the window minimizes and I am returned to the
Internet Explorer page as my view. So for example, I
opened up the Microsoft newsgroup message board and then
clicked the "post" key to post this message. As soon as I
hit the shift key to try and capitalize a word in this
document, this window minimized and then returned back to
the newsgroup page. If I hit shift again, it does not
bring this window back on top. I have been told to try
cleaning my old keyboard and then to replace my keyboard.
I just purchased a new one today and I still have the same
problem. I was also told to simply reboot my computer to
fix the problem, but that has not helped either. Is there
such a thing as a "hot key" that I am unaware of? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time and Aloha,
