    - Can't boot up Me I was downloading "critical updates" from the windowsupdate.com page. then all of a sudden, i got this message, that popped up: Explorer has caused an error in Browseui.dll It told me to try restarting, which I did - same result. I hit enter and all there is, is a black screen (not white like this page says: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=289799) This is running on an emachines etower 600is, so there was no Windows Me emergency startup disk included, just their own "restore cd". Nothing on that disk helps fix this problem. Anyone can try and help me get my computer back to normal? Thanks much... Tag: Windows button Tag: 223088

    - Wintrim.P virus Got a problem with AVG/Windows/Something... Ran the virus programme mid afternoon today and two virus detected. They were 'Downloader.Wintrim.P' in the C:\windows\system\egdhtm~1.dll file and 'Dialer' in the C:\windows\system\egdial.dll. They were both successfully healed. Ran the virus checker again and came across 'Downloader.Wintrim.P' in the C:\_restore\temp\A0014142.cpy file and 'Dialer' in the C:\_restore\temp\A0014143.cpy. These files were not healed and remain on the system. Tried deleting these files manually to no avail. They did not even show up in Explorer and when I tried to remove the _restore file by changing the attributes it would not let me. Looked on the net and came across how to disable system restore and checked the box in Mycomputer\Properties\Performance\File System. ran AVG again and now I do not appear to have the virus but it did not check the C:\_restore file. I run Windows Me What can I do? Is there a cure? Or a fix somewhere? Cliff --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

    - Windows ME performance problem this is a huge problem that i simply cannot fix. Basically, whenver the computer feels like it, it begins to freeze for a few seconds and then unfreeze, continuing to do this over and over until shutdown. Shutdown at this point becomes difficult because you can't really use the mouse when this happens. If im typing, it does the same thing. it pauses and pause in like 2-3 second intervals. After restart, the problem goes away but will shortly return. It doesn't matter if i'm connected to the internet or not. Does this make any sense? please respond with your suggestions. I would greatly appreciate it. Mike Tag: Windows button Tag: 223050

    - Shutting down and restarting computer Hi everyone, I have in the past, received some pretty good suggestions on how to go about fixing problems on my computer from this site. Well,I am now having another problem which is very anoying. Most of the time, when I try to perform a restart on my computer, the system freezes up and I am forced to perform a forced shutdown holding the power switch button untill it shuts down. However,If and when there is a need to perform a re-start, I have discovered that if instead of giving my computer the command to restart, I command it to shut down and then manually restart it, it reboot okay most of the time, but not all the time. In attempting to fix this problem I have re-instaled windows and this has not made any difference. My computer is an 8765C HP and my microsoft updates are up to date. I also seem to be having problems with my modem.It seems to connect only when it feels like it(dial-up connection)and hangs up quite freequently. I wonder if the modem problem could perhaps be associated with the re-start problem? Can somesone help me with this problem? Any suggestions would be greatly aprecated. Thank you in advance, Richard Tag: Windows button Tag: 223040

    - user permissions and networking ME I'm running XP home edition on my main computer, and I set up a Linksys wireless network to link 2 pc's to it. One of the PCs is old and has Windows Milennium on it. I've got it so that it can access the internet through the wireless connection, but I can't seem to get it to file share. The Linksys site says file/printer sharing between an ME computer and XP can be a problem and that you need to set up user permissions to do so. It refers you to the MS web site to learn how to set the permissions. But I don't see it. Can anybody give me a hand with it?

Run System Restore and roll-back to the last time it was working OK.
