when using file, save. On application re-open data was not
saved and is lost. Any ideas.
Thanks

Shut Down/Restart Hang
Hey, I just have a shut-down/restart problem. I operate a
Windows ME Intel Pentium III 800Mhz computer. This problem
has gradually grown in occurance over the past few weeks
until it now happens practically every time I shut down.
Basically, Upon selecting a shut down or restart option in
the Start > Shut Down menu, it proceeds to shut down and
then the display screen completely blacks out as though to
shut down/restart and display 'it Is Now Safe To Turn Off
Your Computer', but it doesn't, rather, just hangs on this
black screen. One thing that does happen, however, is a
small flashing bar displayed on the black screen
(sometimes in an irregular position, usually in the top-
left corner) as though I should start typing code or
something. However, pressing keys does nothing and it is
completely unresponsive. Therefore the only way I can
force my computer to shut down is with the power button
with it still running.
I had this problem last year (on the same computer) and
only solved it by completely wiping my computer.
I hope this is solvable.... Tag: error message Tag: 222252

documents unreadable
After burning files onto a cd for storage, the zip folders
became unreadable. The icons for the zip folders changed,
and some of the other folders changed in the titles. I am
a total novice with technical aspects and don't even know
where to go with this to get my documents back into a
readable format. The cd that was burned is also
unreadable. The person who burned the cd for me, says
there should not even be a connection between the two.

Modem problem persists
Noel-
I followed your recipe, but still no luck.
From the Install New Modem screen: "Windows will now try to detect your
modem"
Then- "Windows did not find any new modems attached to your computer"
"To select your modem from a list, click Next"
I selected, in turn, each of the listed 56K modems from the list, but none
would install
...Suggestions ?

Size of Windows folder
I am considering a backup scheme which involves partitioning and disk
imaging. I would like my C: partition to contain Windows ME and as
little else as possible. I would like to be able to burn a compressed
image of my C: partition to a single CD-R.
The size of my Windows Folder is 1.33 GB. I believe this size is quite
a bit larger than it should be. Can someone please help me figure out
why it is this large?
I got my PC in October 2000. It came with a load of preinstalled
applications, mainly Microsoft Works Suite 2000, NAV, and Roxio ECDC.
I've added very little (Acrobat Reader, Real Player, and a few other
things).
Here are sizes of the subfolders which I believe are most susceptible
to growth:
Application Data 27.7 MB
Cookies 10.8 MB
Temp 33.8 MB
TIF 298 MB
(Using the settings in IE6, I have TIF limited to 63 MB. I don't
understand why my TIF subfolder is 298 MB).
Microsoft Disk Cleanup sees only 74 MB which it can free.
My Recycle Bin has 97 MB space reserved (if this is pertinent).
My PC: 64 MB RAM; 10 GB HDD.
I believe it is possible for the Windows Folder in WinME to be as
small as 800 MB. Why is mine 1.33 GB? Tag: error message Tag: 222137
