    - Slow moving screen and memory problems I have a portable with Win ME. After nearly three years of use, and downloading numerous apps and deleting them, I find the screen is slow to work. Recently three large Word documents brought the machine to a halt through lack of sufficient memory to do any saving. I have tried freebie registry cleaners, but they seem to take out too much and I have to use restore to get the machine to work again. Any ideas how I can release memory? Thanks for any help.

    - IE5.5 won't remember temp history My IE5.5 SP2 doesn't seem to remember the temporary history (the one in the Address bar down-arrow selection) from session to session anymore. I would be entering sites manually from time to time and the feature would work then, but when I close down IE and reopen a new session, all the addresses are gone. This was never a problem for years.. and now all of a sudden the history is failing. What's the problem? The "regular" History (the one called up with the History button itself) works fine. When I check the Documents listing from the Start menu, I see about 15 recent documents (I seem to recall that the list used to be much longer in the past, but now there are only 15. Meanwhile... I have hunted for some more info about my original problem and find that there are discussions about the "TypedURLs" in the Registry. Well.. I cannot find such a Key value with regedit! Furthermore, I discovered that the usual drop-down list for the Start/Run command is also empty! I have not installed TweakUI. Tag: Transfer of Operating System Tag: 231661

    - No Scam, No tricks, Money making guide. Honest to goodness. MAKE MONEY, EASY, NO SCAM!!!!!!! Need Extra money to have more fun? ========================================================= PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS! Before you say "oh BULL" will you PLEASE spend your ONLY 2 minutes to READ this email.. ========================================================== Dear Friend: First of all my apology, secondly thanks for spending your time reading this email. I send this email to offer you an Internet BUSINESS opportunity that really works. Make a $200,0000 IN JUST 3 TO 21 weeks GUARANTEED!!!! WOULD YOU BELIEVE IF I TELL YOU THAT YOU JUST NEED US$6 TO START THIS BUSINESS! It's true my friend just $6 and you will have your own business at home all you have to do is spend at least 1 hour a day for it, and you will see thousands or hundred of thousands of dollars are coming on your mail box for 3 to 21 weeks. Tired of asking parents or working at the local burger place for petty cash to go out? Check it out! Make Money thru the Internet's best Kept Secret. Seriously, no scams! Lots of cash, fast and completely legal. This really works. This really can make you easy money. It works!! But you have to follow it to the letter to make it work. A little while back I was browsing through newsgroups just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this one that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00. So I thought, yeah, right, this must be a scam. But like most of us , I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6 and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are Thousands). No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking with a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to loose except 6 stamps and $6.00 right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it was indeed legal. Then I invested the measly $6.00, well GUESS WHAT?...within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!!! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money kept coming in. In my first week I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1000.00! In my third week I had over $10,000.00 and it is still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have a total of just over $42,000.00 and it is still coming in rapidly. Its certainly worth the $6.00 and 6 stamps. Let me tell you how this works and most importantly why it works.... also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. STEP 1 Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper. "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST". Now get US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside each of the 6 pieces of paper so that the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 sealed envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper, your name and address and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. Another possibility is to write your letters via e-mail, to electronic mailing lists, and then have the people send money! THIS IS COMPLETLY LEGAL. But you have do send the money, or else nobody else will send the money. Then you don't get any money. See, you lose 6 bucks, but gain thousands of dollars. So, mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: #1 John Teal 1 central park west New York, Ny 10023 #2 Mike Stephenson 951 Dyer Lake Rd. Traverse City MI 49684 #3 Chris Couture 101 Gables Point Way, Cary, NC 27513 . #4 Jassa sing 77-02 AA Roosevelt Ave. PMB # 025 Jackson Hts., NY 11372 #5 JB Brittain 11300 Peacock Hill Way, Great Falls, VA, 22066 #6 PJ Mancuso (Mike B.) 1 Parklawn Drive Brampton, Ontario, Canada L6Y-2H3 STEP 2 Now take #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4,etc..) and add your name to the #6 spot on the list. EX: #6 becomes #5 #5 becomes #4 #4 becomes #3 #3 becomes #2 #2 becomes #1 and put your name on #6 STEP 3 Now post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. I think there are close to 24,00 groups. All you need is 200, but remember, THE MORE YOU POST, THE MORE MONEY YOU MAKE. DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO POST NEWSGROUPS STEP 1 You do not need to retype this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor to the bottom of this document and select copy from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. STEP 2 Open a blank Notepad file under accessories in windows and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the edit menu select "paste" This will paste a copy of the letter into the notepad so that you can add your name to the list. STEP 3 Save your new Notepad as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in Different settings, you will always have this file to go back to. STEP 4 Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups, (on line forums, Message boards, chat sites, ect..) STEP 5 Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll down the lists of postings in a particular group, click the post message button You're done with your first one. CONGRATULTIONS, THAT'S IT... REMEMBER THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO POST NO LESS THAN 200. That's it. You will begin receiving money from around the world within days. You may eventually want to consider a Post Office Box due to the large amounts of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name that will be recognized by the place you are having it delivered. JUST MAKE SURE ALL ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT!! Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (A very low example). I then made 5 dollars with my name at #6 of the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make a minimum of 200 postings each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to the original 5. That is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 make 200 minimum posts with my name at #4 and only 5 reply each. I will bring an additional $125.00. Now those 125 persons turn around and post the minimum 200 letters with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each. I will make an additional $625.00. OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 people post a minimum of 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!! Amazing...It can go on and on ... When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups and send out another $6.00 to the names on the list. Putting your name at #6 again. Begin posting again. Very Easy and NO RISK AT ALL! Tag: Transfer of Operating System Tag: 231654

Probably not successfully Ken. Besides a new computer deserves a fresh load of
Windows. <g> You will be amazed at how much better it runs. If you're going
this far you might as well do it right.

might work if you deleted everything in Device Manager and Network
Properties before taking it out of the old machine, then let it try to
detect everything fresh in the new machine. [1]

Best bet though is to backup/format/install.

Either way back up your personal data first.

[1] probably just crash.
