I have been trying every solution I can find(listed in
this and other newsgroups) to successfully install Direct
X9. I think I've tried it 20 different ways at this point
(and yes, disabling firewall, virus; renaming wininit
files; trying it in safe mode, on and on..)

What I did find, though, is that I have 60,000 .CPY files
in my _Restore TEMP folder that cannot be deleted, even if
I disable System restore and try to delete them in safe
mode.

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. I'm at wit's
end here... Thank you!

This problem is usually caused by Symantec software going awry, often
LiveUpdate. The fix is as follows:

If you can't find a wininit.ini file then I suspect your problem is due to the
C:\_RESTORE\TEMP folder having around 64K files in it which is the limit
(2**16) for the number of files that can be located in a folder using the
FAT32 filing system. This can also lead to the "Cannot upgrade file %1 from
%2.." message when booting. I suggest you try deleting the _RESTORE folder
with the loss of any system restore checkpoints you might have (not that I
think they are now usable) and see if that solves the problem. [BTW do you
have any Symantec applications installed? I ask because LiveUpdate is
implicated in this problem.] Delete the folder as follows:
a) Boot to DOS using a floppy. Do NOT choose "Minimal Boot" from the menu
when booting from a floppy but rather choose "Start computer with (or without)
CD-ROM support" otherwise the ATTRIB command will not be available.
b) At the DOS A:\> prompt, type:

ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\_RESTORE
REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST

c) Remove the floppy
d) Reboot your PC

Another problem though is that the update you were doing was probably never
completed so your system may still be unusable. If however it does manage to
boot then
e) Delete the folder C:\OLDREST
f) Check that an automatic system restore checkpoint was created.
g) Finally adjust the space allocated to the restore folder:
System | Performance | File System | Hard Disk and adjust the restore slider
to your preferred setting. A figure of 200MB is normally more than adequate
for day to day use allowing perhaps a week of checkpoints to be available
although increasing this to perhaps 400MB for a few days during periods of
large installs such Microsoft Office is advisable.

Three responses:

1) thanks for the detailed response. It might be over my
head however, and I should probably just bring it in to
the shop... I don't even know how to boot with a floppy,
I'm assuming this means with my backup disk which I
irresponsibly never created. I was hoping the solution was
simpler, but since my computer is not allowing me to
delete the remaining _restore files or the folder, it
obviously isn't... all of what you said makes sense and
sounds like it explains all my problems..

2) as to why I posted it here and started new thread -- I
did this after reading a criticism in a different thread
about not starting a new thread for a new problem. I
didn't know the three problems were necessarily related.
This is my second day using this newsgroup and still
trying to learn the protocol. what seems obvious to you,
is not to me. apologies...

3) don't know what Symantec software is, butI'll look it
up and see if I have it.

4) why do you and others here take your time to help/teach
the rest of us on here? It's a great forum. Thank you.

Carolyn

Okay. I did create the startup disk, followed your

another command I should use?

No, but about 820 files, most of which have 10 KB or
less...

No luck following Mike's detailed instructions. I couldn't
rename the file using the startup disk either...

No, the required command is REN. What error message did you see? Did you use
the ATTRIB command first?

To briefly recap:
a) Boot to DOS using a floppy. Do NOT choose "Minimal Boot" from the menu
when booting from a floppy but rather choose "Start computer with (or without)
CD-ROM support" otherwise the ATTRIB command will not be available.
b) At the DOS A:\> prompt, type:

ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\_RESTORE
REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST

c) Remove the floppy
d) Reboot your PC

Yes. That is exactly what I did, again and again, just in
case...

the message I got said that REN parameter value was not
allowed...

And yes, I did use the ATTRIB command first, I typed it in
exactly like this:

ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\_RESTORE REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST

Thanks, Mike.

Carolyn,

I think your problem is that you appear to be typing in the two distinct
commands, each of which should be on its own line just as I typed it in my
message, as a single line.

First type:
ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\_RESTORE
and then when the DOS prompt returns type:
REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST

Also forgot to add that yes, I did choose "start computer

The only thing I can think of is that possibly I
misintrepreted your spacings? Should they have been tabs
or more than one space...

Again this is exactly what I typed each time at the A
prompt:

ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\_RESTORE REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST

Thanks very much.

Why are you typing my two lines as one? They are two quite distinct commands
that each needs to be input separately. The first line changes the ATTRIButes
on the C:\_RESTORE folder so that you can see and change it and the second
RENames the folder.

This solution is only for deleting the Junk folders, like

-Restore


When trying to delete them in DOS Mode or DOS Command,
the user generally types in upper case while the folder name may
start with lower case. The Super Jerk Software programmers, who
create these folders know it very well.


The Solution is:


A: If You can boot to Windows Mode
=========================

1 Use Windows Explorer. Move to the target folder.

High-light it. >>>> Alternate Click

>>>>> Rename it to say Y4 (there are generally no folders
starting with Y,
eith from
Operating System
or other Softwares


2 High-light the renamed folder Y4 >>> Alternate Click

>>>> Delete Click Yes to Pop-Up Msg box



3 If the folder is not deleted, becuase some files are sticky and
in memory, then



4 Note down the exact location of the folder, for example

C:\ or C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM etc



5 Start >>>> Shut Down >>> Re-Start in MS DOS Mode


You will be at C:\Windows Prompt. If the target folder is
at: C:\, then type following



6 CD.. <enter>

deltree Y* <enter>

The command will start displaying folders * files, starting
with: Y

When it shows Y4, type Y (for yes)


Type Dir /p <enter> to check, if Y4 is gone



B: If Your Computer doesn't have Re-Start in MS DOS Mode

Boot from any floppy disk, any Windows or DOS Operating
system (even DOS 5.5)


At A: prompt, type C: <enter>, You will be at C:\
prompt, type


Deltree _* <enter> or Deltree Y* <enter>


follow balance of the instructions of para 6



In short, if a folder has idiotic name, try to rename it to
something
which you can easily remember, e.g. Doggie (instead of Y4)

and use Windows Explorer or Deltree Command DOS Prompt / Mode
to kill it with typing first letter + Wild Card (i.e.: *)

Because it wasn't obvious to me from the way you wrote it,
and I thought if I was supposed to hit return you would
have told me so. I don't speak your language -- but thank
you immensely for your help. It worked, as you said it
would. Have a great day and keep saving the world.

Carolyn,

I'm glad to read you've now solved your problem.

Whilst I understand your confusion about the two lines I feel that I would
have typed them as one or at least said they needed to be entered as one line
if that was how they were to be entered. An easy mistake by both of us. No
doubt one of us thinks of a cup as being half full whilst the other thinks of
it as being half empty. :-)
