Please help before I panic. Startup problem.
Alright. I own a gateway, probably my real problem... but
anyway...
The computer starts up, then suddenly a black screen
appears. A dark blue rectangle appears in the center
about an inch in height and the width is somewhere around
3 1/2 inches. It asks "Enter Password" with a black text
box and a flashing white square. I have no idea what my
password is as I had never installed one onto the
computer before. I have tried to use the restoration
disks to clear my entire drive and start over but no
luck... same screen appears. HELP. Tag: error Tag: 212548
Windows Me Updates freeze system during start up -
In the middle of downloading Me Updates from Microsoft
website, my power supply crashed & powered off my PC. Now,
when trying to start up my PC, it freezes 1/2 way
into "Installing Windows Updates". Approximately where my
PC crashed while downloading. Cannot get past this stage.
Cannot "end task". Safe Mode is possible, but cannot
restore to previous date or undo installation of updates.
Also cannot access Internet to complete downloading
updates in Safe Mode.
Please offer alternate suggestions (very simple
instructions please) of how to correct this problem. I
would appreciate it.
Thank you! Tag: error Tag: 212546

Can't delete a folder from the recycle bin
The subject pretty well sums it up. The folder is a sub-folder I deleted
from the favorites folder, and inside of it was a defunct shortcut. Every
time I try to delete it it tells me the shortcut is not valid or something
to that effect. I have searched everywhere, even through the registry, for
the shortcut name and can't find it.
What do I need to do to be able to empty the recycle bin? Thanks in advance

Win ME Hangs
Windows ME sporadically hangs on start-up. When I select Ctrl/Alt/Delete it

selected the system loads normally. I have run Spy Bot S&D, AdAware, AVG,
EZ trust thinking that somehow a beastie had got into the system. Nothing
has been detected. I can't use System Restore as I don't know when it
started as is was only occasionally hanging but it is now becoming more
frequent. I have searched various sites for a solution but it is hard to
pinpoint because of it's randomness. Any suggestions as to where to look
would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Tag: error Tag: 212449

Can of Worms with shutdown and start up
Originally when performing shutdown the computer would
hang after all the icons and programs showed a normal
shutdown. In order to turn off the machine I would press
and hold the start button.
Upon starting I receive the new hardware wizard stating
that new hardware was found but not naming the device.
(No new installation took place) I would press next on the
wizard for it to search for software for the "new"
hardware. The wizard then states it was unable to locate
software. In order to proceed I would choose finish at
which time an error message about the SUReg key comes on.
Followed by a Kernel32.dll message when I clear the first
error message. The computer will continue to boot but I
do not have the sound device or modem. Any ideas on what
is going on and how to fix? (I hope it isn't a bad hard
drive) Tag: error Tag: 212414

System Restore
I just upgraded to a larger hard drive and copied my old

I discovered that stmgr is System Restore. I had to

Of course, system restore no longer works. I reloaded my
WindowsMe and it did not fix the problem. My questions is:
How do I remove the list of installed updates in Windows
Update because mine is no longer current? I can then
download the update to Windows Restore and hopefully fix
the problem. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Tough problem with Win ME
I am helping a friend with his computer. Working fine after I replaced the
power supply, but there is a problem.
Every time the computer boots up Windows ME boots up OK, and then the
Windows ME installer starts installing another copy of the OS. Ctrl-Alt-Del
and kill process or a Cancel will stop the installer and the computer works
fine until the next time it's booted up, when the Windows ME wants to
install itself again.
I was told that the installer is located in the MBR and that the only
solution is to reformat and reinstall, but that is too drastic, anyone have
a better solution?

Updates That Keep Telling me to Update
I cannot remember the patch number of the numerous
security patches for my Windows ME. I currently have one
that I have downloaded and installed a minimum of three
times. But the popup keeps coming back that I need to
download the same patch time after time. I've encountered
this problem with at least one previous patch.
Trying to get help from Microsoft is not successful and it
is less that a satisfactory experience. For this reason,
and other issues I have with Microsoft, I look forward to
the day that another company produces a good substitute
