    - Critical update mystery Folks, EVERY time I visit the Windows Update site it tells me that my computer needs Windows Media Player Script Commands (KB828026) installed. I have installed this same update countless times as confirmed by the records on the site, but for some reason Microsoft still thinks it isn't there. What gives?

    - sluggish computer I seem to have too many programs running at all times. This makes my computer slow and sometimes freeze. I have plenty of memory, but if I hit 'ctrl, alt, and delete', it shows about 15 programs that are running. I know how to turn them off, but how do I keep them from starting? Thanks Tag: Tip for TweakUI users Tag: 253472

    - Cannot run Windows programs from DOS prompt All, I have Windows ME on my laptop (OEM) and older desktop (upgraded from win95 OSR2). On my desktop system, I can run "console" programs (the LAME MP3 encoder, etc.) and Windows GUI programs by typing the program name at the DOS prompt and hitting ENTER. On my laptop, however, the only programs I can run that way are DOS programs; when I type the names of Windows GUI programs or console programs at the DOS prompt and hit ENTER, absolutely nothing happens -- I remain at the DOS prompt. Does anyone know what factors control this behavior, and how I can eliminate the problem? Thanks, Ed Tag: Tip for TweakUI users Tag: 253471

    - Good AntiVirus Program ? I've had it with Norton AntiVirus and my WindowsMe. It is one conflict or issue after another with no real solutions provided. Does anyone have a recommendation for a maker or program that is truly compatible with WinME? And does it provide protection against viruses and scripting similar to Norton? Thanks Tag: Tip for TweakUI users Tag: 253462

    - What does Restore actually restore? Can someone pls advise exactly what system restore restores? I assume the old registry, but am uncertain as to program folders, files etc. 1. Is the registry that is restored, the exact previous one (ie: it no longer contain ANY of the additions or deletions of the one being replaced - that is contrasting to using the registry export/import which I was told will add back entries but will not delete any new additions that were made). 2. Sometimes I see program files taken away, some times they are still there. 3. Does it replace the complete system config files? Pls advise Thanks Tag: Tip for TweakUI users Tag: 253461

    - Menus open slowly after boot up Running WindowsMe and IE6Sp2. I recently did some old program file removal, ran scan disk (no errors) and defraged my hard drive. Now after initial boot up (everything loads OK), I noticed that upon clicking the Start button it takes 2-5 seconds to display the start menu, and upon opening the Windows Explorer, it takes 2-5 seconds to display all the folders. After one or two rounds of this, everything opens as quickly as it normally use to and is fine until shut down and a new boot up . Any ideas as to what is causing this and how to repair? Thanks in advance. Tag: Tip for TweakUI users Tag: 253460

    - windows disappear quickly. Hi, I'm troubleshooting someone else's pc. Here's the long of it: They bought a new printer. They installed the software on their pc - running Win ME. They try to print a document and get nothing. Uninstall/reinstall software several times... no luck -- after talking to their tech support decide it's a communication problem. Then they realize their may be additional problems with the pc. Here's a prime example - goto Run/regedit. The result is - the registry window pops-up for less than a second and closes. I cannot get into their registry?? Also come to find the same problem with Add/Remove Epson Software. I did 2 hours worth of MS critical downloads to get their pc up to date, but still no luck. Can someone suggest something? Please... Thanks, JC Tag: Tip for TweakUI users Tag: 253344

    - russian keyboard Hi This is on behalf of a client. I don't have ME myself, so I am a little unsure. The client needs a Russian Keyboard (virtual). It was there, but seems to have disappeared somehow after the last web update. When she tries to installk the keyboard again (controlpanel => keyboard => add) it tries to copy a file (no name given) which it doesn't find on the CD. What is the file's name, and where can I get it (I assume it would work to place a copy of that file locally somewhere and install it the keyboard from there, i.e. point to that folder instead of the CD). Is it a .dll or is it hidden in a .cab of some kind? Thanks, - Daniel Tag: Tip for TweakUI users Tag: 253325

    - System almost grinds to a halt After my PC has been on for a while, the system resources seem to run very low. Sometimes I try to start a new program and it tells me I need to shut something down, yet I have very little running. This is easily cured by doing a Restart, but it is really annoying. I have installed Process Explorer to try tracking down the problem and it seems to show STMGR.EXE as being the culprit, and the only thing using 90+% of the CPU. When things really grind slow, after several hours of running, P.E. shows % of System Idle CPU as a minus figure. This has been going on for a while, and all the usual virus scans and checks have been made on numerous occasions. I have an AMD 1200 processor and 512MB RAM. Any ideas please?

Do not change the default location of Start Menu in My Computer tab, using
TweakUI. Otherwise Keyboard Shortcuts (if created for start menu programs)
will not work.
