    - VMM(12) Error Help Please Hi my computer keeps switching off. It will boot up and after a certain time and doing nothing in particular it just turns off. The only error I have seen is this one VMM(12) + 00001E4C Error: 06:0028:C0280E4C. I haven't installed any new software or hardware. I have opened up the tower and checked all cables and checked that the cards and memory are all seated correctly. Sometimes the computer will boot and sometimes it wont. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Matt Tag: error Tag: 253537

    - System memory problem -- Because of large hard drive? I have 512 megabytes of memory on my Dell 8100 using Windows ME. I can't open more than one program at a time because I'll get error messages that say I'm out of memory. Norton Utilities says I have a system memory problem. I can't see that I have any programs hogging a huge amount of system memory. Could it be because I have a 160 gigabyte hard disk that's not partitioned? Are there any simple fixes? If I went to a controller card and used it's bios for the hard drive, would that free up memory? Thanks in advance for any help. -- "Illegitimis non carborundum" ® --General Joe Stilwell Tag: error Tag: 253530

    - Windows ME Uninstall I am trying to get Windows ME off of my cousins computer and I can't: I have tried to boot to a dos prompt and bios won't let me get to it. The floppy drive doesn't work to make a startup disk. When I go to Add/Remove Programs to Uninstall Windows Millenium Edition, the option to uninstall ME is not there. I'm stuck. I can't get into dos to just "format c:". Can anyone else give me some options on what to do to get rid of this OS? Tag: error Tag: 253526

    - Question for Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware users. I don=B4t have problems with spyware and that kind of stuff, but some people told me it was better to download Ad-Aware and Spybot softwares, to avoid problems in the future. I would like to know the opinion of some of you about these softwares. Did you have any problems using them? Did they affected Windows in any circunstances? I don=B4t mind doing the download of these two softwares, but I don=B4t want to have problems with my Windows Me. Thank you. Carla Portugal Tag: error Tag: 253521

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deleting all USB items from the Device Manager and doing a refresh? 2) Physically faulty USB hub on MB 3) Faulty or outdated BIOS program.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: error Tag: 253513

    - 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: error 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: error 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?

Is this replacing an old card, or upgrading from an on-board video?
if the latter, you will need to disable the onboard video from the BIOS/CMOS
Setup - see your manual for instructions.
