    - 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. Rob Tag: No Windows Tag: 243484

    - 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: No Windows 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? P.

    - 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: No Windows Tag: 243387

    - Dos Mode Hi to all, Recently our computer has crashed. I therefor wanted to restart in Ms-Dos mode so that i can format the hard drive. however, i can't find the option to do that. Yes, i know that i can go to the prompt window, but the c drive is running at the same time, therefore it can't be reformated. I know this may be a really stupid question, but for the life of me i can't figure it out. Thanks in advance. Peter P.S. In the windows 98 version, when you chose shut down it gave you the choice to restart in Ms-Dos, but with ME it isn't there. Tag: No Windows Tag: 243303

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

Neither of those programs should be loading in Safe Mode (they belong to
McAfee AntiVirus, IIRC)
what shows in Safe Mode?
What OS? - if There's no floppy and no CD, how do you load new
programs/data?
