explorer
I'm hoping someone can help me.
Evertime I start Windows, on my Desktop when I try to
open My Documents, My Computer...I get the
message:"Exlorer has caused error in <unknown>. Explorer
will now close. Try rebooting...." I reboot and then it
works. However, sometimes it won't.
Frustrated,

TMP Error Message
I am getting an error message when my computer boots up.
Says Explorer has caused an error in
669806868.TMP....Explorer will now close. I cannot delete
the file (I actually changed it to say hidden and then
deleted it, but, still have error message). If I close
the message, it basically shuts down everything on my

Changed file type
I had accidently changed a file to open with a different
program, which in turn changed all the related file types.
Unfortunately, these files must be recognized by an
internal program from the actual software program and
cannot find or open them. I've tried and re-installed the
program but all the files are shown again as what I
changed them to.

No Windows
I have this Sony Vaio PCG SR17 toy computer that has
neither a CD nor floppy drive. When I boot up I get as
far as the screensaver with nothing else - no start
button, no icons, no windows. I've tried f8 using the
back door to the Safe Mode, but it still does the same
thing. When I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to see what up, I only get
two programs loading: Vsstat and Vshwin32. Anybody have
any ideas?
Thanks

Explorer won't open
After I downloaded a critical update for Windows ME a few
days ago, I began getting the following error
message "Explorer has caused an error in SHLWAPI.DLL.
Explorer will now close." This now occurs every time I
try to click on My Documents, My Computer, or access the
Control Panel from the Start button. Explorer will no
longer open so I can look at my files. I know it's there
because it will still open up from the Explorer bar on
Internet Explorer. IE works fine. Everything works fine,
except for hot keys linking to Explorer to list files. I
also get an error message similar to the one above but
with SFG012B.DLL when I click on Start, Search for Files
or Folders on my Desktop.
I can access the Control Panel and Recycle Bin via the
Explorer bar on Internet Explorer, but if I try clicking
on the Recycle Bin icon or the Control Panel via the Start
button, I get the same SHLWAPI.DLL error message.
Any suggestions? This has been extremely disruptive.

Windows update problem
I recently had a run in with coolweb and have finally managed to remove the
little bugger. I am now having a problem running windows update. This is the
message I receive when I try to update, any ideas on how to rectify this
situation would be most appreciated:
To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged on as an
administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is
connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from
completing this procedure.
Note If you are running a Windows 2000 (except DataCenter), Windows XP, or
Windows Server 2003 operating system, you can run the local administrator
account on your computer without having to log off and then log on again.
To run as the local administrator in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003:
Click Start, and then click All Programs (or right-click Windows Update if
it is available).
Right-click Windows Update.
Click Run as on the menu that appears.
Do one of the following:
Enter the password for the administrator.
Enter the user name, domain name, and password of a different user account
that has administrative permissions on this computer.
To run as the local administrator in Windows 2000:
Click Start, right-click Windows Update, and then click Run As on the menu
that appears.
Do one of the following:
Enter the password for the administrator.
Enter the user name, domain name, and password of a different user account
that has administrative permissions on this computer.
If the option to run as the local administrator is not available:
Click Start, right-click Windows Update, and then click Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab, and then select the Run as different user check box. Tag: Uninstalling Windows ME on Mult. Operating System Tag: 243442

=?Windows-1252?Q?=93Minus_12_GB_Memory_on_the_Hard_Disk=94_says_System_Pe?=
My problem is a repeated response from Windows ME saying that my PC does not
have enough Conventional memory to open certain applications.
I have tried out two remedies proposed for this problem: the first mentioned
in a revised MS KB Q254953 article to ensure that the Property of the Hard
Disk is not selected to be ?removable? and the second to ensure that the
responsibility of managing the Virtual Memory is left to Windows in the
Control Panel System Performance Dialog. Neither has worked and I am still
unable to open applications requiring Virtual memory.
While working on the second remedy, I was shocked to find that Windows ME
says that I have minus 12034 MB free memory, even though the Property of the
Hard Disk shows 69 GB free space on the drive. Even if I leave it to Windows
to manage Virtual memory, what can it do if I have minus 12 GB of Virtual
Memory? Of course, the number is all greyed since I have selected the option
to let Windows manage Virtual Memory.
There are other remedies mentioned for Windows 98 but I have not come across
any other for ME. Could any expert or Microsoft suggest how to get Windows
ME to provide a Plus 15 GB Virtual Memory with a Hard Disk having 69 GB free
out of 75 GB so that I can start opening all applications?

Freezing on startup
This started showing up a couple of months ago. On startup, my Windows
ME often freezes before it finishes loading. Desktop is there, so are
hourglass and mouse arrow, but not all icons. CTL+ALT+DEL produces usual
blue screen, says "System is Busy." Message goes on to say "The system is
waiting for the Close Program box to be displayed. You can wait and see
if it appears or you can restart your computer." I don't know what the
Close Program box is, and waiting doesn't produce one. Pressing
CTL+ALT+DEL again re-starts the computer and Windows loads completely --
usually. But sometimes repeated pressing of CTL+ALT+DEL does not restart
the computer -- the blue screen and message just sit there. Only recourse
is to switch off power. Scandisk, anti-virus scan, online spyware scan
all negative. Running WinMe on IBM Netvista 700mhz, 64MB. Anyone know
what's going on here? Tag: Uninstalling Windows ME on Mult. Operating System Tag: 243387
