    - diagnostic programs? I have had my HP with ME for a couple years. It has been acting up. It will suddenly go back to the HP INVENT screen for no apparent reason. Also the screen will freeze occasionally and I have to reboot. I am thinking maybe the drivers are starting to corrupt? Is there a diagnostic program I can download that checks this and other problems that might be causing the problems. I have had zippo luck with HP eventhough I paid for an extra 3 years warranty.

    - Error message on bootup Windows ME Hello all, you're looking good today! I have a problem. I recently wiped an old Pentium 3 Hewlett-Packard with its recovery disk, and it has been working great ... until... just this morning, on bootup (after it asks for password but BEFORE the desktop appears), I received the Blue Screen O' Death. It wasn't a fatal crash, as I could hit enter and be taken into Windows, but none of my startup programs (Norton Anti- Virus, ZoneAlarm, et. al.) had loaded. The error message was as follows: SYMEvent(01) + 00010925 Error: OE : 0028 : C007FC3D Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    - ME major problem. I'm COMATOSE. I am trying to fix a peoplepc IBM based computer for a friend. I seriously suspect this computer is virus laden. I was told it was slowing and hanging before it was brought to me. At first boot, I could not get past the loader 'dots'. I tried the F11 command to start the computer to the partitioned clean drive. I then selected the fdisk choice to fdisk and reinstall all files. Probably my first mistake. The fdisk utility got to about 3 percent and then warned me of stack issues. I was told to restart as the fdisk action was halted. I restarted. Now I can't even get the computer past the IBM logo. This computer has no boot disk, so getting to an A:/ prompt is not possible. Is this PC doomed? In permenant coma? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tag: Windows startup partition drives C:\ , D:\ and E:\ opens upon startup Tag: 251943

    - Loss of free disk space due to .cab files on WinME My mother has WindowsME on her machine. Her hard disk is more than half full with cabinet (.cab) files. This is really bogging the machine down. The only definition I can find for these files says that they are system restore files created by WinME. It seems to me that something is wrong here. I have read on WinME support websites that the System Restore feature should only allow a max of 12% of you hard disk to be used for Restore Points. Will disabling System Restore delete these files? Is it safe to delete these files manually and will Windows let me do so? Could .cab files be created by applications other than System Restore?

    - Mouse pointer drifting I wonder whether anyone can advise me. Over recent weeks I have been getting increasing problems with the mouse pointer drifting to the top or bottom of the screen, and more recently there being a delay of about 2 secs. in responding to mouse movements. This is intermittent and does not seem to coincide with other specific and obvious programs or processes. I have a Toshiba 3000 Satellite laptop running WindowsME, 128 + 256mb RAM, Pentium PIII, Belkin Mini Optical Scroll Mouse connected by USB. I have done the following to try to correct the problem: cleaned mouse lenses tried mouse on different mats and surfaces tried a standard mouse (still occurs) updated display and mouse drivers from manufacturers websites reduced hardware acceleration adjusted mouse speed settings in control panel rebooted frequently (problem still there after reboot) I have the feeling that this is something to do with the OS or drivers but any advice on what else to consider, or how else to diagnose this problem would be very welcome!
