problems with defraging
Hi,
I'm having problems with my computer. It won't let me
defrag or check scan disk for errors. I let it run over
night thinking it would take a long time and it still said
0% complete this morning. I haven't done any updates on my
windows me since I downloaded it sometime back. I would
like to see if I download windows 98 back on there, and
deleted me if that would help? I don't know what to do.
And if it sits to long it will lock up and won't do
anything. You have to do a hard shut down in order to use
it again. I hope somebody can help me, as in telling me
what I should do, and what to do first.
Thank you Tag: Dll errors Tag: 214089
WindowsME Installation History
In "Microsoft Windows Update" there is a link to "View Installation
History". The list that appears there is also stored in "My Computer"
somewhere in my C: drive. Will someone please inform me where it is located?

Outlook Express 6 and Windows ME
I can't get Outlook Express to connect. My ISP helpline

Errors in Win ME
I'm having no luck adding a printer to my Windows ME
machine. When I double-click on the "Add Printer" icon in
the Printers folder, absolutely NOTHING happens.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start? I've
done basic system maintenance, removed unnecessary
programs, killed all unnecessary processes, and it still
won't go.
Also, I don't know if this might be related (it only
happens in Outlook 2002): When I start Outlook, I get
this error: "The add-in "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MOCIEXT.DLL"
could not be found or loaded.". Has anyone ever seen this
before? I find no reference to this error in the MS
Knowledge Bases articles.
Maybe the two problems are related. If anyone has any
ideas I would appreciate it if you could share them with
me!
Thanks in advance,

Quicken Deluxe 2004 causes general protection fault
Just upgraded from Quicken 2003 Basic to Quicken 2004
Deluxe. When in Planning report mode, every time I
click 'Done' my computer crashes with "Windows An error
has occurred.... Error:0E:016F:BFF8E64B" The fault log
varies from "QW has caused a general protection fault in
module KRNL386.EXE at 0002:000031a0" to "QW caused a
general protection fault in module USER.EXE at
000a:00002009 or 001f:00002ff6a". I have run thorough
ScanDisk, Run thorough virus check, uninstalled Quicken
and re-installed in Safe Mode, created a new test file -
still experience the problem every time - also a couple
other random operations within Quicken have caused crash,
such as printing a report.
Any help? Quicken website is useless. Wish I'd bought

Slow IE 5.5
Recently, without any notice or warning,
my IE 5.5 (running on WinME) has become as slow as a sloth.
If I type something in a form or address bar,
it takes forever for a single letter to come out.
I downloaded IE 5.5 service pack 2 from MicroSquish,
and successfully installed it, but it didn't help at all.
NO OTHER PROGRAM HAS THIS PROBLEM!!!
While I'm on the net,
I can use ANY other program (Eudora, Free Agent, Word, etc, etc, etc),
with NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER!!!!
I've cleaned up my temp files, cookies, etc,
run scandisk and defrag,
run thorough anti-virus scans,
and rebooted just before hooking up to the net
(i.e., IE is the 2nd thing that comes up
after the connection is made).
I tried download IE 6.0,
but I kept getting interrupted (this was at 3 in the morning!),
and when it finally completed after numerous attempts,
it failed to setup properly!
I like IE 5.5 (until now!),
and am wondering if anyone has had the same problem
and knows of a solution.
Thanks for your time!

get a message stating "Cannot delete ***(the file).

Conflict: Classical Solitaire & NSW 2004 Pro
I have just installed Norton SystemWorks 2004 Professional and Norton
Personal Firewall 2004 over their corresponding 2003 versions (according
to Symantec's instructions).
All seemingly went well. However, I find that ME's Classical Solitaire
no longer functions (other games seem OK). Using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to
remove the program "Csinject" allows Classical Solitaire to function
normally. Although Csinject existed in previous NSW versions, this
problem did not occur.
Symantec recommends disabling Csinject whenever I wish to play
solitaire!!!

I was attempting to use the address book that comes with

I attempted that manuever and was told I could not use it

entire "contacts" directory was somehow lost. When I quit
word and simply went to the address book, it showed an old
contacts list which I was sure I deleted.
I thought maybe my valid list was somehow tossed into the

SEARCH- For Files and Folders
Windows ME.
There were several postings (including mine) from people for whom
Start -Search- For Files and Folders does not work.
Goggle search I did this morning produced this:
http://www.assistivecomputers.com/helpfiles/Search%20for%20Files.htm
Well. It works.
I further found that you can go to ANY folder in Windows Explorer (Does not
have to be MY Documents) , press F3 and Search dialogue comes on. You can
also go to MyComputer ( icon on Desktop) - press F3 and the search dialogue
comes on (and works). The only place F3 does not work for me is Desktop.
Question to the experts: what stops it from working from Start- Search?
Note : Several responses suggested to tick Tweak UI - Desktop- Search
Results.
It does not work for me. Are there different versions of Twaek UI?
