Programs running in background
I have a program running in background that writes to hard
disk continuously, even with all programs shut down except
explorer and systray. Because of this, scandisk will not
run, even on startup. Both scandisk and defrag must

this program? Tag: What are these file for? Tag: 218443

If I was to re-install Windows ME would it help or hurt
anything that exist on my hard drive already?
By this I mean installing on top of existing hard
drive...not by re-formatting.
I am just looking to clean up ME or replace any important

microsoft works update detection
Everytime i run microsoft works (v6)it adds MkDetect.exe
to my registry, which is an update detection for works.

so i cant delete it, and whenever i just delete the
registry it comes back when i run works again. I also
looked in all the microsoft works programs (database,
spreadshead, task launcher, etc for menu options to
disable but all i found was "Notify me of product updates
from works" which i unclicked but it still shows up.

Runtime Error 424: Object Required
Help! I recently am getting a pop up explorer window with

WindowsUpdate repeatedly demands October IE 6.0 SP1 Patch-already installed
Hello
I am told by Windows Update scan that i critically need : October 2003,
Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB828750)
My Installation History there shows several successful installations.
I tried installing it manually by downloading the file to disc. My PC
refused to install it saying that I need to have IE 6.0 installed first.
The Control Panel on the PC shows IE 6.0 SP 1 already installed. At the IE
Help--->About it shows IE 6.0 SP1.
How can I determine which version of IE I really have?
Any suggestions as to what is causing these contradictory messages and how
to resolve this without too much reconfiguration?
Thanks

System Info Missing
I have just noticed that System Information
(start/programs/accessories/etc) is missing from my menu. I haven't used it
for a while so I am not aware when it has disappeared or why?.
I know I can access it from RUN msinfo32.exe, but why has it vanished off my
menus as it is much easier to access from there? Any ideas on how to get it
back onto my menu. I do sometimes use selective startup, could there be
something in here which I should have checked (ticked).

Loading USB Drivers
Hi,
I added a US Logic external disk drive that requires its own
USB drivers from a CD. So far, I can't get one of the two ME
machines to load these drivers. Fiddling around got one to
work.
The drive documentation says ME should go through a
series of prompts when the drive is turned on but it doesn't.
The correct drivers are not loaded.
ME recognizes the drive but crashes at random during
transfers. The other computer behaved the same until
I got the correct drivers installed. On that one I
uninstalled the USB drivers then installed the drive ones.
Either I don't remember how I did it or this machine
doesn't like that procedure.
How do I get the proper drivers installed?
This is a homebuilt AMD K6-2 500. I believe the OS is
up to date.
Thanks,
Gary Tag: What are these file for? Tag: 218318
