    - Hibernation My computer doesn't seem to want to go into hibernation. The screen goes black but the computer itself never completely goes off. I think it might have something to do with my mouse. It's a "IntelliMouse" from Microsoft. The red light stays on, as does the computer. When you move the mouse and the screen reapears from black, the cursor is very slow and whatever programs you click load slow as well. I can't shut down or restart my computer anymore either. The screen makes the noise it has always done when clicking restart/shut down, but then the cursor and computer freeze when it gets to the light blue screen, and you have to just turn off the monitor. Is it indeed my mouse that is causing the trouble or something else? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Tag: Testing Tag: 215152

    - Startup Problem Please Help When I boot up my computer, it doesn't get past the title screen for Windows ME. It does not even get to the desktop. I have tried switching it to safe mode and the same thing happens. It says "Windows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2 %1: %2" What can I do? Is there a way I can get to a dos prompt or to my desktop? Tag: Testing Tag: 215151

    - windows me errors Hi, my wife and I recently upgraded from our emachines 600is to a much newer model. When I went to get some files off our old computer, it won't boot up anymore when it worked ok before it sat idle for a week. When I try to turn it on, it starts booting, but then I get a message that reads 'cmdninst has caused an error in sysdm.cpl'. After I hit close, I get an error that reads 'msgsrv32 has caused an error in setupx.dll'. After that, it just stops booting and stays in the wallpaper screen. Anyone have any ideas?

    - Regedit/SysEdit/MSconfig Here's what's happening. I am trying to troubleshoot my pc, but I can't troubleshoot when I can't access any programs. The Issue: Whenever I go to to the "run" command under the start menu and type in any of the following, "regedit", "sysedit" or "msconfig" the computer acts like it is about to open them up and then simply doesn't open it, or opens one of them up but closes it immediately. I can't gain access to any of these tools. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be deeply appreciated. Tag: Testing Tag: 215145

    - MyDocs.dll Anybody have an idea why all my net apps are trying to use the above file for accessing the internet? Info goes off to a site seemingly owned in Canada (Alberta) although the address info is hokey when I looked it up: it listed a suite in the CN tower, which is in Toronto last time I looked, and houses no businesses I'm aware of. This happens with Xnews, Outlook, Opera, Mozilla. Did full scans with AVG, Spybot, AdAware, And online scanners at Symantec and Panda, and a DOS disk. Nothing, all clean. Outgoing ports are 1294, 1296, 1298 TCP. This doesn't happen on the 2k or BSD boxes here. I googled it to death but no usable info. -- "Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor." Horace (65 - 8 BC); Roman poet.

    - slow context menu - registry entries? I've been having a problem with slow system response to right mouse clicks: sometimes takes two or three tries for the system to provide the context menu sometimes it might take 10 seconds or so to respond sometimes it responds immediately So far I've tried using a different mouse (with its different drivers), running the Dell diagnostics on all the hardware, using TWEAKUI to rebuild the system files, preventing my anti-virus program from loading (Norton), dinking with all the mouse options, decreasing the graphics board's hardware acceleration (via device manager), etc, etc. I googled and noticed that many people have had this problem, but nothing I read indicated a reliable fix ...So I thought I'd post another more cry for help - has anyone discovered a fix for this problem?

If I don't reboot my computer freezes up during several different operations. It is starting to freeze up alot. Tried to restore with the disk provided. When it was 80% complete it gave an error message about unable to read video or something and said shut off your computer. It did not complete the restore. Now Internet Explorer won't dial up - have to start at Outlook Express to dial up. I have a security device I forgot to remove before Restoring so that may have caused the restore failure.
