Explorer and Explorer related programs
Every time i try to open explorer i get a hourglass mouse
cursor then, nothing happens. also whith anything that
trys to open explorer... control panel, printers, dialup
etc.
I can go into safe mode, and it works just fine, i can
open anything. I think it has to do with somthing that
runs in the start up, but i've cleared, mostly everything
out, but what i need. (3 items) but still doesnt work.
I have scanned for virus, nothing.
I have scanned for spyware, nothing.
Please help.

Applicatioins stall regularly
I am running ME on a PII 266 with 196Mg of RAM and I
regularly have applications (word, IE6 etc) stall for
about 30 seconds every 5 mins or so. I have cleaned out
all spyware/adware and updated everything but nothing
working. Any suggestions?
Also, how do I get the list of running processes to come
up? At least then I could see what is using the CPU when
the applications stall.
Thanks

DESPERATE-C & A drives assigned to use DOS
Today, while running a Windows version of a software I
have in DOS, too, I tried to open the DOS version and it
asked me which one do I want to use because they
conflict. I chose DOS.
Now, I can't get into my computer in Normal Mode. When I
try, I get the error message: Windows Protection Error.
System Halted.
If I go to Control Panel, System, Peformance tab, there
is a box telling me there is a compatibility paging
issue. It states that the C & A drives are both using an
MS-DOS compatibility mode file system. There is no
access to my computer except through the Safe mode.
I have tried everything from System Restore, to clean
booting, and even disabling the protection modes in the
advanced tab of my Systems. I don't know what else to
do. I have looked through the articles listed on
Microsoft, as well as Dell (it is a Dell comp.) and I am
desperate to try something to get my computer to
recognize it should be a Windows OS.
Please offer any suggestions. Thank you so much. Tag: error mesage Tag: 229361

Upgrading to a new operating system
I would like to uninstall Windows ME and install Windows

Resources/Mouse Question
When I start my Windows ME machine I am at the 80% resource level. I think
I have taken all I can out of startup using msconfig but I have a Logitech
optical mouse, Avast! anti-virus, Internet Call Waiting and Adaptec cd which
are so integral I need them there. And I have visited the normal sites for
help in minimizing start up programs.
After I have been on the web for two or three hours, using IE 5.5, my
resource level drops to the 60% area, with no programs running. At that
point the mouse cursor cannot quickly follow the mouse movement, to the
point where it is annoying. Below 60% resource level, say at the 55% level,
the cursor delay is really impossible, requiring a reboot. Is there
anything that can be done about this in Windows ME besides starting at a
higher resource level, by deleting more start-up auto-run programs and thus
prolonging the time to reboot? Tag: error mesage Tag: 229298
screen options
i have a problem when i try to modify the screen options (right clik on

a pop up window teels me that the "admisnistrator has deactivated the access

have not multiple users in this computer, and it never happened before. is
there a fast solution (delete the other users and work always as
administrator?)?? maybe it could be a virus? Tag: error mesage Tag: 229297

My computer freezes since uninstalling AVG 6.0 Please Help!
I downloaded AVG 6.0 (Anti-virus) several months ago, but after
downloading the latest update last week, and rebooting, a message
popped up saying something to the effect of "Couldn't upgrade 0% to
1%" "Press any key to attempt to load Windows".
And since then, my computer would sporadically freeze up while I was
using WindowsME.
Since it was basically useless without updating, I uninstalled AVG
today.
After I uninstalled, my computer rebooted automatically; an error
message popped up saying "Explorer has caused an error in GDI.exe,
Explorer will now close" then it crashed.
And now my computer freezes every time I use it!
Here are a few of the things that have led to my computer freezing
when I tried to use them since uninstalling AVG 6:
Winamp
AOL (4 times)
Spybot - Search and Destroy
GetRight (twice)
And when I click the button to restore my active Desktop wallpaper
it's an automatic freeze everytime.
AOL works roughly every 3 times I try it.
If nothing else causes it to freeze, shutting my computer down will.
I'm using a Compaq Presario 5WV271 with a 900MHz Athlon processor,
64MB memory, 40GB HD, and 8MB Nvidia TNT2 Graphics.
Does anyone know of anything that could help this problem? This is my
only computer, and I'm kind of desperate. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

IE 6.0 update not installing

Start up
Thank you for any help you might give.
When I start my WinMe it says that I have had an “improper=20

can=20
tell there was no improper shutdown. The Computer shut=20
down normally. It can take up to nine (9) hours for the=20
scan disk to run on C drive. If a problem is detected I=20
tell it to ‘fix problem’. At the next start up the same=20

Would reinstalling the program solve the problem?----

Cannot find wininit.ini

In addition I found my system restore has not had any
restore points for over 2 months, and I have no check mark

Ok so i got the two viruses which i posed about earlier
which is the iworm/ronoper.u and the iworm/sddrop. I
downloaded grisoft and it found the files that were

showed the infected files but when i went to the registry
and tryed to turn back what the worm had done it said
adminastrator wont let me or something like that. Said i
could not do it in other words. So i deleted norton
antivirus from my system and ran grisoft again and the

i go into my computer, the windows file that on the c
drive is gone. I cant locate it anywhere. I need some
