    - USB Causes Boot Execution to Halt On 2004-08-03 20:14:58 PST Mike Yates (myates5@nc.rr.com) wrote (in microsoft.public.windowsme.general):- > I recently upgraded my computer with a new motherboard, case, processor, > and memory.

Possibilities:- 1) A "remnant" USB hub driver on the hard disc, incompatible with the hub on the new motherboard. Have you tried deleting all USB items from the Device Manager and doing a refresh? 2) Physically faulty USB hub on MB 3) Faulty or outdated BIOS program. My main MB here often used to freeze on bootup into WinME, less often into WinXP and rarely into Linux until I upgraded (by "flashing") the BIOS for another reason. I had suspected USB but having various or no devices connected seemed to make no difference. It always booted OK on 2nd attempt, but had got far enough to offer "Safe Mode", which wasn't necessary. I thought it might be temperature, for that reason, but then had quite a few first-time boots when the room was freezing. When I'd flashed the BIOS, 3 sub-versions on, it suddenly prompted for different USB OHCI drivers in WinME, WinXP, Win2003, Mandrake Linux, SuSE Linux and Fedora Linux and now they all always go first time! (I use those multi-boots to different partitions to support various clients - oh and DOS6.22/Win3.11 too, but that knows nothing of USB!) You'd have thought MB manufacturers would flash the right program into the BIOS, wouldn't you? But then, who does get it right the first time? Have you tried installing a fresh WinXP? If you can spare about 4Gb of your disc, you could shrink your partition with Partition Magic and install a fresh XP in a second partition. It will automatically get a multi-boot so you can still run the old one, too. A second disc fitted as slave would do the same. That would prove if it was hardware/firmware or software (residual drivers) at fault. If the BIOS firmware needs upgrading, that would affect PCI USB hubs as well as the MB one because the BIOS is the central controller for any hub fitted. My own problem persisted after I fitted a PCI hub but cleared on BIOS upgrade. You need to be very sure you get the correct, genuine software, not some hacker's "clocked up" effort! Only the MB-maker's own website (Taiwan?) will do. If you've had the MB less than 12 months, push for a replacement under warrantee instead. -- Have fun, Mike -- http://fonehelp.co.uk - PC support, no fix, no fee! Tag: auto restart Tag: 253513

    - Re: Xcommsvr Error Getting rid of "BitDefender" resolved the error problem with "Xcommsvr". Apparently there is an issue concerning this error message when installing and/or using BitDefender. One probably could find a solution for it, given the time. I simply did not want to be burdened with it, even though the program is quite thorough with its scanning capabilities. Just wanted to let everyone interested know. Especially David H. Lipman. Harry, old and finished with this issue. Tag: auto restart Tag: 253491

    - Cannot run Windows programs from DOS prompt All, I have Windows ME on my laptop (OEM) and older desktop (upgraded from win95 OSR2). On my desktop system, I can run "console" programs (the LAME MP3 encoder, etc.) and Windows GUI programs by typing the program name at the DOS prompt and hitting ENTER. On my laptop, however, the only programs I can run that way are DOS programs; when I type the names of Windows GUI programs or console programs at the DOS prompt and hit ENTER, absolutely nothing happens -- I remain at the DOS prompt. Does anyone know what factors control this behavior, and how I can eliminate the problem? Thanks, Ed Tag: auto restart Tag: 253471

    - What does Restore actually restore? Can someone pls advise exactly what system restore restores? I assume the old registry, but am uncertain as to program folders, files etc. 1. Is the registry that is restored, the exact previous one (ie: it no longer contain ANY of the additions or deletions of the one being replaced - that is contrasting to using the registry export/import which I was told will add back entries but will not delete any new additions that were made). 2. Sometimes I see program files taken away, some times they are still there. 3. Does it replace the complete system config files? Pls advise Thanks Tag: auto restart Tag: 253461

    - Menus open slowly after boot up Running WindowsMe and IE6Sp2. I recently did some old program file removal, ran scan disk (no errors) and defraged my hard drive. Now after initial boot up (everything loads OK), I noticed that upon clicking the Start button it takes 2-5 seconds to display the start menu, and upon opening the Windows Explorer, it takes 2-5 seconds to display all the folders. After one or two rounds of this, everything opens as quickly as it normally use to and is fine until shut down and a new boot up . Any ideas as to what is causing this and how to repair? Thanks in advance. Tag: auto restart Tag: 253460

    - windows disappear quickly. Hi, I'm troubleshooting someone else's pc. Here's the long of it: They bought a new printer. They installed the software on their pc - running Win ME. They try to print a document and get nothing. Uninstall/reinstall software several times... no luck -- after talking to their tech support decide it's a communication problem. Then they realize their may be additional problems with the pc. Here's a prime example - goto Run/regedit. The result is - the registry window pops-up for less than a second and closes. I cannot get into their registry?? Also come to find the same problem with Add/Remove Epson Software. I did 2 hours worth of MS critical downloads to get their pc up to date, but still no luck. Can someone suggest something? Please... Thanks, JC Tag: auto restart Tag: 253344

Check the BIOS to make sure that you don't have Wake-on-LAN enabled.
