    - Warning Message From Dan Gookin This was brought to my attention this morning, but by this evening it's become apparent that this latest virus threat is making too much progress to be ignored. The virus is known as w32.Beagle. It arrives on your computer as an EXE file attachment. As you well know from reading my books and the newsletter, EXE files are NOT to be opened. Yet many folks (who don't read my stuff) do so, and the infection spreads. * If the subject line of the message is "Hi!" and there is an EXE file attachment, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. Delete the message instantly. * If you're using anti-virus software, it should catch this sucker; most anti-virus programs are geared to warn you about EXE file attachments anyway. Even so, do consider updating your anti-virus software with the latest virus definitions to be safe. * A firewall will NOT stop this virus from infecting your computer. * Macintosh and Linux computers are not affected. * Vital links confirming that this is not a hoax and that I'm not wasting your time: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_857408.html http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.beagle.a@mm.html http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=581&ncid=581&e=1&u=/nm/20040119/tc_nm/tech_internet_virus_dc Best, DAN -- --- Weekly Wambooli Salad #*******************************************************************# If you like this newsletter, please tell your friends! #*******************************************************************# For more information, visit this newsletter's InfoPage: http://www.wambooli.com/newsletter/weekly/info/ Copyright (C)2004 by Quantum Particle Bottling Company, Inc.

    - Is there a way to stop memory leakage in Windows ME? I pirchased windows ME after purchasing my new computer with the Windows XP operating system which kept freezing up programs and I continually received fatal error messages. So I insytalled Windows ME and everything was working fine, for a while, but now I keep getting "close proogram dialog boxes and low system resources dialog boxes. I have 256 MB of RAM and only a very few programs loaded, I have almost no saved files which would require a lot of memory usage. I ran a program that detects memory leaks. Low and behold the program kept coming back that Windows ME has allowed large amounts of memory leakage. How can I stop this leakage once and for all. I can not afford to go out and purchase a new operating system at this time. HELP!!! Tag: Window ME upgrade Tag: 227179

    - Card reader assigned to drive D During the installation of my graphics tablet software, various *.dll files were identified as missing and I was prompted to insert the Windows ME disc into the drive. Doing so did not resolve the prompted of the missing files. To get around this, I copied the missing dll files from my notebook to the desktop. Now, whenever I insert a media card reader into the USB port, it is assigned drive D and my virtual D, E, and F drives are reassigned to E, F, and G. It makes no difference with brand of card reader I use, the D drive is assigned to the card reader. The 9 in 1 reader that I now am using used to be assigned the last 4 unused letters before since it has 4 slots for the different types of media. Now its assigned D and the next unused letter. Any suggestions on how to resolve this conflict? Device manager doesn't show the card reader as a device that can have its drive assignment changed. Tag: Window ME upgrade Tag: 227150

    - Is this a hardware problem? I have a spare computer (previously my son's) that appears to have gone onto standby or hibernation - when I switch on the power all I get is the power button flashing - I can't hear the fan or anything starting up - any ideas? What happened was: I switched it on the alter the settings so that I could remove the extra graphics card as I wished to sell this separately since the machine has an onboard graphics chip. I switched it on and it all loaded, albeit slowly I couldn't find a ps2 mouse so I used a usb mouse with an adaptor on but this didn't connect properly so didn't work when loading windows me so I had to use the keyboard, when the password box came up I pressed the enter/return key to cancel this however nothing seemed to happen so I pressed escape this resulted in the machine appearing to switch to standby. Is this a hardware problem or have I inadvertantly put it into standby or hibernation? (I never use these options as I can't remember how to turn them off). Any help would be appreciated.

    - What's Mr. Bill gonna do for us poor ME user's ? A few years ago I puchashed an HP Pavilion with factory installed ME on it. It frequently has problems and seldom runs smoothly. I have used 95,98 & XP without nearly the headaches! I've had a couple of computer "buffs" tell me; "get rid of ME, its junk". I've had IT people I work with say; ME is bad, dump it and load XP. I've even had my ISP tell me; "Trash ME, its garbage, microsoft should have never released it". So my question is; If everyone knows ME is "junk" why doesn't microsoft offer some form of compensation for their "Lemon"? Tag: Window ME upgrade Tag: 227136

    - Explorer has removeable drives C through Z After trying to install drivers for a Kanguru device (external hardrive comprising an adapter shell and a Dell Inspiron TravelStar warranty replacement drive - - which I am trying to use to back up the old drive before I am supposed to send it back) I am faced with Explorer's telling me that drives C through Z are present and are all removeable. The C drive seems to work just fine, but I have lost access to the optical D drive and also to the E Zip drive. I have no use for drives G through Z, but they currently seem to stand in the way when I try to connect the extrernal drive through the USB 2.0 port. I need to get rid of drives G through Z and need to get drives D and E back, and of course, convince Windows that drive C is really not removeable. Thanks. Tag: Window ME upgrade Tag: 227115

    - vmm32.vxd I have a HP with ME and received a error for the vmm32.vxd device driver that it could not be found and the computer shut down. Windows will not open and this message reappears. Safe mode functions occasionally but no fixes have worked. The system resotore will not work because there are no back up points nor will the scanreg as no registry is found. I have tried the back up disks and they will reformat successfully but when re-installing everything it gets caugt up on this driver and shuts down again. I also get the Kernell32.dll errors among some others. I deleted the OS from the hard drive and was able to re-install everything from the system disks and but cannot get all the way through the set up screens as the errors reappear. I have only removed the original 56K modem to use the ethernet port for my broadband connection, is this the problem? I don't have a scanner or any other equippment that is described in some of the fixes for the error messages posted. I have lived with the error messages regarding the missing device driver VMM32.VXD and KERNEL32.DLL for quite a while and just recently has the OS become completely non functional. Is it time to scrap the whole system? Tag: Window ME upgrade Tag: 227107

    - WIA - SDK and Scanning Hi all - I have two graphic programs, CorelDraw and PhotoPaint. Each has a capability to acquire images from the scanner. I have an HP G55 All-In-One printer/copier/scanner which is connected to my machine using an USB port. When I try to use the 'Acquire feature in either of these two programs I get an error message that says; 'Error in the Twain protocol resulting in a wrong state.' Some of the information has mentioned Networks. I'm a single user, and as far as I have been able to determine I have all the right stuff. So, could is be a matter of some specific software adjustment I need to make to allow the programs to acquire images via the scanner? There is an MS and HP update for WinME regarding the WIA, but, I am not sure if either of these are what I need, and would prefer to ask first. The information I have found for the HP is a Patch for the TWAIN for ME, and is supposed to provide for the Acquire of images from the scanner. However, I don't want to 'fix' something that might not actually be broken.....yet. ;-) http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/softwareDownloadIndex.jhtml?reg=&cc=us&softitem =oj569mu&prodId=officejetg19542&lc=en&plc=&sw_lang=en&pagetype=software I have checked the Scanners and Camera set up in the CP and the G55 Series is in the list, and when tested, was detected and communicating. I would really appreciate it if someone might have some information or suggestion as to whether or not the patch or update is needed, or just an adjustment within ME. It appears that all on each side is set properly, but, something is not working. Best regards, Jan :) Tag: Window ME upgrade Tag: 227087

I have a Dell computer with Window ME.

I would like to know if Microsoft sells an upgrade that
would allow me to upgrade to Windows XP without having to
reformat the hard drive?

Yes, Microsoft sells an upgrade, but you need to make sure you have all the
XP drivers available. Run this hardware compatibility program on your
computer.

An upgrade copy of XP can be used to either upgrade an existing Win Me system
to XP or to clean install XP if required although in the latter case you will
need to have a Win Me CD available to verify your eligibility to use an
upgrade version of XP.
