Windows ME
Win Me freezes up while on the internet. When I try to
move the mouse over an internet site it will just lock up.
Any suggestions???? I then have to push the power button
and go through all the dick scans and such. Tag: Thanks "war17" & "Mart"!!!!! Tag: 226223
My Windows
When I turn on my computer, and when it reaces the Windows
Me sign it will always freeze and my computer will make a
wistling type of noise. So I always reeboot my computer
and put it on normal mode because that is the only way it
will start any ideas how to prevent it from frezzing at
the windows me logo? Tag: Thanks "war17" & "Mart"!!!!! Tag: 226222
WinME freezes/locks up after idle.
My ME is configured as ICS dialup HOST for a P2P'd XP machine. I don't
have any screensavers, hibernation, or suspend enabled. The systems
are configured to also share files. Most of the time, this arrangement
works extremely well. However, sometimes when I don't need to work on
the ME machine and just leave it ON inorder that the XP machine can
get access to the dialup, and walk away, after a little while the ME
machine does not respond to mouse movement or other controls. The only
thing that responds is ctl-alt-del to pop-up the tasklist, but then
the arrow keys don't respond to make a selection. MEANWHILE, the
networked XP machine is acccessing the dialup just fine! What could be
causing this apparent lockup on ME? A reboot with ctl-alt-del seems to
be my only option at that point. Fortunately the system doesn't
trigger Scandisk - so I know there is no real corruption in the data
files. Anyone familiar with this scenario? I have heard from another
WinME user about a similar situation, but their ME machine was not
networked; however, they discovered that the problem was "DMA -
enabled" for the CD-R/RW device. Tag: Thanks "war17" & "Mart"!!!!! Tag: 226216
Error While installing Software
I am getting an error stating that I am missing WIndows ME

ME freezes @ start up
ME freezes frequently...upon restart the last time, it
goes thru scan disk and does not complete the process but
freezes the screen and mouse halfway through. I powered
down again and closed scan disk before it finished and
the screen is frozen at the startup page. The icons
appear, but screen is gray and mouse is frozen. I'm not
technically inclined, but could use help if anyone else
has experienced this. Thanks. Tag: Thanks "war17" & "Mart"!!!!! Tag: 226212
virtual memory
I have an Intel Pentium 450 Mhz. with 384 MB of RAM. My virtual memory is
set at 1152 MB.
When I go online, after about 5 minutes a message comes up "running out of

and it shuts me offline.
Any idea what the problem is?

JV16
I used to have the Registry Cleaner jv16 and it did alot of useful registry

Windows Updates
To recover from a system crash I had to reinstall Windows
ME. After reinstalling Windows ME I tried to update the OS
from the internet. The update installation failed. Each
time I restart the computer I receive a pop-up window
to "Resume Windows Update: Internet Explorer and Internet
Tools". The message further indicates that "...a previous
installation was not completed." I have tried several
times to complete this update installation without
success. When I again attempt to download the update from
the web I get a message about a pending update that must
be completed. How can I delete or remove the pending
update (the one that keeps failing) so that I can download
another update from the web? Tag: Thanks "war17" & "Mart"!!!!! Tag: 226194

Kinda Baffled
Presario 700 Pent 3, 64 mb's RAM, 10gb hard drive. WinME, 15 inch monitor.
This system is not connected to the internet.
Been running ok for a few years straight, and this weekend I decide to load
2 flight sims on it, Janes usnf97 and FS2002. It took a little playing but
both installed ok, had to patch the unsf97 game and all seemed ok. You
could tell that FS2002 was a strain on the system with only 64mb's of RAM.
But anyway, a day or so went by with the sims working ok, and then fs2002
started to slow down a little and get a bit jumpy so I decided to close the
program and reboot, Not the I think this is a flight sim issue, I don't,
but I wanted to give you little recent hstory.
I go to reboot and out of nowhere I get a password prompt, ( something I
haven't seen for a few years ) but it also booted into a different
resolution and color, it went from 800 x 600 to 640 x ???, and went from
32bit color to 16 bit color. Looked like it was in safe mode but wasn't.
And,, I lost the mouse. No icon on the screen and a yellow mark on it in
the device manager.
The password prompt was set to default and without a mouse, it took a few
tries to get the name box highlighted and change it to my name and then add
a new password using just the keyboard. And I know how to make it stop
popping up on bootup so no big deal there.
Reinstalling the graphics drivers took care of the resolution change and
that was back to normal.
The mouse I haven't been able to get to work, well, partly. It works in
safe mode but not normal mode. I've removed it from the device manager,
and let windows refind it, it sets up the ps2 port but still no mouse
icon.. I have reinstalled the drivers several times, no luck there either.
The mouse is ok, safe mode proves that, and the ps2 port is ok as safe
mode kinda proved that too, And in the device manager, I still have the
yellow mark over the PS2 mouse entry. It's not there in safe mode
Any clues on this one ? How do I get a mouse icon back and does anyone have
a clue as to why this might have happened ?
Thanks in advance

Unexpected automatic restart
My computer (ME) unexpectedly restarts after about 30-45
minutes from switching off. Sometimes Scandisk will also

that has anything to do with it. Thank you for any help,

italic font displayed instead of intended font. Why?
I can't figure this out. Have searched to no avail. This
problem occurs not only online but offline as well.
Instead of the intended font for certain applications,
installers and webpages, I get a default italic font. Most
commonly it is visible on the google search webpage as
well as the msn homepage. Not all pages display this font
however the majority do. It carries over to certain
program update installers as well.
Im not certain how else to describe this problem but its
driving me crazy! Any ideas as to how to correct or narrow
down where the problem occurs?

Opening Links
I asked this before, got an answer( It worked!), printed the answer but not
the reason why it does it.
Anyway, when I can't open links in Outlook Express is it because the default
browser isn't the same as when I installed Outlook Express. If so could I
just reinstall Outlook Express.
What I was told to do was change the settings in URL:HyperText Transfer
Protocol and URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy.
Thing is now I can't make my default browser Netscape, Avant or anything
without having this same problem.
Is there a way I can change my default browser and still be able to open
links in Outlook Express?

Problems Upgrading from ME to XP Pro
I've tried all-shapes to install XP Pro with no success
yet.
I run set-up.ex and act on the prompts etc. The system
tells me the various items not compatible with XP
etc,.There apear to be none that will cause a set-up
failure.
Anyway the system does all the anylising etc and downloads
the initialisation files, runs the automatic restart
cycle. The system reboots whereby the XP installation
screen reappears for a brief moment only to be replaced
with a screen that has the message :
Insert the CD labeled - Windows XP Professional CD.ROM
into your CD-Drive - Press enter when ready.
I dully press enter - nothing
I remove the CD from the Drive and re-insert etc - nothing
You name it I've tried it.
I've been on the Microsoft site and looked at all the
repoerted faults and fixes - perhaps I'm missing
something ?
When I start my PC the system asks me to choose between
continuing to run the XP set-up programme or to revert to
previous settings.
Any ideas ? Tag: Thanks "war17" & "Mart"!!!!! Tag: 226102
