    - XP Failed Again!! Sigh!! Long story short, Willy ran into the same problems with XP on a second hard drive that I did with the upgrade. It was up for 20 minutes and then crashed repeatedly. So it wasn't user fault with the upgrade in February (G)....which I am glad to hear. Seems my motherboard is too old to support not only XP, but the installation of a second hard drive. He tried with an 80 gig, then a 40 and then a 20. I can't remember exactly all he told me, but he worked on it for a long time. He mentioned something about having a software (not hardware) modem in the motherboard?? Not sure if I have that right. But the end result is that I will be using WinME until this computer fails me.....or Willy builds me a new one for a reasonable price. He picked up a problem starting with the hard drive (not bad sectors) and just told me to make sure I keep everything backed up. It was disappointing.....but he says that this computer is in pretty darn good shape for 4 years old, and also the fastest WinME he has ever seen. He was quite amazed at how *clean* it was.....I guess he gets a lot of them with tons of cookies and *.tmp files, etc. Not to mention viruses. Two people brought theirs in while I was there and they both had viruses. No excuse for that in this day and age!! And the best part is he didn't charge me one cent!! But I knew he was a good guy. Plus he let me sit and watch him trying to get rid of multi viruses on an XP computer and then finally did a reinstall of XP because it had an MBR virus. Interesting.....and I learned quite a bit from him. As I have always said......I am that one in a 100 where really strange things go wrong. And it doesn't seem to be changing, lol. So if I win more than I did in the last lottery, I will buy a new computer from him. I just won a $200 Bugatti leather backpack in one of the hospital lotteries....just what I need!! Elayne now has her first Xmas present!! She is off to Scotland on June 5th and we are leaving June 7th for Quebec. So lots to do before that time. As we are going into the non-tourist regions, I had better include brushing up on my French!! Cheers...Heather Tag: freezes Tag: 266406

    - PC Anywhere Equivalent ? Dear ol' mother now has a computer, with WinXP. Me, still using WinME, would like to help her out on-line so to speak, using something like PC Anywhere. I say "something like", because I'd really like to find a freeware PC Anywhere equivalent. Q. If I'm using WinME, can I do this if she's using WinXP? Q. Would anyone know where I could find a freeware equivalent of PC Anywhere ? I'd Google for it but I don't know what these help-a-person-on-line programs are called in order to search for it.

    - System Restore Checkpoints Hi: Up until 5 weeks ago, if I wanted to set a System Restore Point I had to either do it manually or disable McAfee Firewall, wait 10-15 minutes and then enable McAfee again. Since then my system aautomatically sets anywhere from 2-5 checkpoints automatically every day. Why the change if I haven't reset the system? Does this indicate something is amiss, or was it always until 5 weeks ago? Thanks in advance. Vince -- vince Tag: freezes Tag: 266380

It tells me that files in C:\_restore\archive\FS44.cab\A003894.cpy and ...\FS47.cab\A004125.cpy have trojans but can't fix, remove, quarantine them.

    - can't disable system restore???? I have Adaware and Spybot and run them often. I also have a virus scanner. Problem seems to be virus/spyware/etc. in my "restore" folder, so they don't ever get really erased. When I try to turn off system restore to run the virus and spyware programs, it doesn't actually turn off. This is my personal computer and I am the original owner but apparently I am not the "administrator"???? Is there anyway to set myself up as the administrator so I can disable system restore temporarily to run these programs? Please help. Tag: freezes Tag: 266268

    - Networking Me and XP Hi all, The ol' Me box is now hooked to a Linksys BEFSR41 wired router to my cable modem, along with the new XP box. I have a new Lexmark P6250 printer directly connected to the Me box. Question: Is there a way to share files and printer between the two boxes without opening myself to the 'wilds' of the Net?? I have tried a number of things, to include the Networking Wizard in Me and XP. Me tells me that the networking will work with a Win95 or Win98 box and the XP Wizard warns me that opening file and printer sharing will allow the world to get into my computer/printer. Is this true, since I am behind the router?? Also, I am no longer getting auto System Restore points. I have checked for the presence of a <wininit.ini> file and reset System Restore. It did create a point upon rebooting, but, nothing since I did this two days ago. ZAPro was updated to version 5.5.094.000 about the same time the router and new printer was installed.....may have done too much, too fast, too soon.

    - ScanDisk and Bad Sectors After reformatting my HD and reinstalling WinMe with updates I ran ScanDisk. It would not run in the Normal Mode (after many hours it rpoerted that it tried 10 times but something started writing to the drive, according to the message). I then ran in in Safe Mode with a check mark for repairing errors--took well over 24 hours--and it gave me a mystifying report. If says it found no errors. It reported in round numbers 78,000,000 KB total disk space (I have an 80 GB disk) and 8,600,520 bytes in "bad sectors." What does this mean? Is my HD shot? Do I have to fix something? Call Dell?

    - Windows Update kills Roxio? I just tried to use my Roxio software to burn a CD. First time I've used it in a month or so. Upon starting Creator Classic I got: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program: ...LES\ROXIO\EASY CD CREATOR 6\EASY CD CREATOR\CREATORC.EXE abnormal program termination followed by: Creatorc Creatorc has caused an error in CREATOR.DLL Creatorc will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer. Of course, restarting doesn't help. But upon tracking down CREATOR.DLL I found files by that name in both: C:\Program Files\Adaptec Shared\CreatorAPI\ C:\Program Files\Roxio Shared\CreatorAPI\ The ones in "Adaptec Shared" dated 04\30\05, those in Roxio Shared dated (mostly) 11/26/04. When I saved the ones in "Adaptec Shared" and replaced them with those in "Roxio Shared" the program now starts and runs, though I get the second error above upon exit. Since I haven't run the Roxio update utility for months, I'm assuming the ones in Adaptec Shared came in via Windows Update or, perhaps, when I updated Media Player to version 9. The question is, has anyone else experienced this failure, and do you have a more reasonable, or maybe more complete, way around it than what I've done? I did save the 04/30/05 files, so I can put them back. - Bill Tag: freezes Tag: 266142

I did a search of files and folders for recycle bin and found nothing. I looked in the windows directory and could not find a folder marked recycle bin. I clicked on properties for the desktop and went to effects,highlited recycle bin full, then clicked on default still no shortcut on the desktop. I tried the same for the recycle bin empty...nothing. How do I find the short cut icon ? If it has been deleted how do I re install it? Is this a common glitch with Me? I didn't think windows would allow the shortcut for Recycle bin to be deleted. But mine sure is gone. Thanks, Dave Ohler Tag: freezes Tag: 266130

    - MSDOS.SYS file missing I'm using MS article Q258471 to troubleshoot a boot problem. The computer only boots into DOS mode, and only if I use a system startup disk. (I get an "Error while initializing device IFSMGR" screen when I boot into Windows.) However, I can't find an msdos.sys file anywhere on the disk, including the %RootDir%. I have a second WinMe computer that doesn't have an msdos.sys file either, all though that system boots fine. I read that msdos.sys is created during the Windows installation process. What would cause the msdos.sys file to be missing from both of my WinME systems? And, if it's necessary to boot into Windows, why does one of my computes boot without it? Can an msdos.sys file be created manually? If so, how? Is there some way to retrieve a copy from somewhere else, or extract it from the installation disk? Tag: freezes Tag: 266125

    - missing components in Windows Setup I've noticed when in the "windows setup" from the add\remove section that there are no components(empty) listed at all. I do get an error message stating "Rundll32 has caused an error in setupx.dll". What could have caused this, and how do I get these entries back? I have tried a varldid.reg installation and have also tried a system restore to no avail. Tag: freezes Tag: 266116

    - spool32 error I've looked at other methods to fix this, but they don't seem to apply or work. First off, I installed a new HP printer and shortly after that I would get error messages such as: Spool32 has caused an error in KERNEL.dll or Spool32 has caused an error in <unknown>. I uninstalled my old printers drivers, didn't help. Booted up in safe mood/clean boot and even then I would often get the spool32 error box to show up. I went into my spool folder and found nothing in the PRINTERS folder. I cleaned out the TEMP folder. Still getting the same error on startup. I can't print if I close the error box that shows up on startup. The error box shows up when I want to open my Printers folder in my Control Panel. I've tried printing directly to the printer. I've ran out or tried just about all the possible solutions I have seen. The error box shows up everytime I boot and am ready to use my PC. Thanks in advance for your help. Tag: freezes Tag: 266111

    - Comm port invalid or busy HELP! I've tried almost everything listed on these message boards to resolve my comm port problem. I have Windows XP. AOL 9.0. I use my modem for dial-up when away from home. It runs (or used to) on comm port 3. I use broadband at home. Until last week, both dial-up and broadband worked fine. Then, all of a sudden, I couldn't dial-out anymore...receiving the dreaded message "com port invalid or busy". I haven't added new hardware or software. Broadband still works fine. I've checked all my devices for conflicts and/or problems. All are fine. I've uninstalled the Toshiba modem, and reinstalled. Modem diagnostics say it's working fine. Changed serialkey settings. Didn't help. I've deleted, changed, updated the AOL Adapter. I'm ready to throw this laptop out the window!! Anybody have ideas for resolution? Tag: freezes Tag: 266090

    - Scandisk/defragmentation I did a scan disk in safe mode and it seems to stop 1/4 mark, so I decided I will do deframentration then, Initially, the defragmentation process is ok until it give this error message "Window cannot defrag this drive bcos it cannot access part of drive. To repair your drive, click scandisk (choose thorough option) and try defragmentation again. ID# Defrag005" So I try to do the scasndisk and it would even start. So I power off the button and restart. Since it did not shut down the proper manner, it usually try to scan the disk which it again did not start and give this message" Msgsrv32 has caused an error in KRNL.386.exe. Msgsrv32 will now close. If you continue to experience the problem, try restarting your pc." Hdd Masxtor 40 gb, model 34098H4. Any idea what can I do, dont tell me that the hdd is gone///// Tag: freezes Tag: 266089

    - Desktop has gone black I don't know if this was caused by a virus or not but my wallpaper has gone and my desktop is completely black. It still has icons and they work. When I right click on the desktop I no longer get the popup menu I used to get. I get a simple one allowing me to select a screensaver and size settings. I cannot select wallpaper and my active desktop options are gone. Does anyone know what files might be corrupt and need replacing? Any other ideas would be appreciated. Tag: freezes Tag: 266008

    - Problem with Floppy drive I'm having a problem my A:\ or my floppy drive. I am trying to access delindex via a floppy disk and when inserted into the drive on reboot, the computer disregards whatever is in the floppy drive and continues to boot into windows. Once in windows I would right click on floppy drive icon and then click onto explore, and an error message stating "A:\ is not accessible. The system cannot read from the specified device". I would then try to run scandisk on the A:\ drive with more errors stating "Scandisk detected an error while reading your drive. Scandisk detected an error while writing to your drive". The computer would then freeze. I've tried using different floppies and also tried to update the floppy disk controller from device manager to no avail. Can anyone offer some advice on troubleshooting this problem? The floppy is my only means to get into DOS on windows Me. Thanks. Tag: freezes Tag: 265990

    - New power supply needed Was in the process of installing wireless card to winME. System has been disconnected/no power for sometime due to office renovation. Plugged everything back up - guess what, no power. Took the cover off, no smell or scorch marks that I can see. My guess is a new power supply, but just want to be sure before I go out and buy one.

No, when I try to run three different programs, I am getting the error message, "A requrired DLL file, MFC42.dll, was not found." I know there are websites that will provide DLL files. Should I just try to dowload the MFD42.dll file? Or, does this error message indicate some other problem? If so, I will appreciate advice. Tag: freezes Tag: 265972

    - Dial-Up Connection using BY Yahoo! Anytime and BTBBroadband My internet connection on BT Yahoo Anytime unsing Connexant HSSF V92 56K RTAD Speakerphone Modem on COM3 was faultfree. When I tried to transfer to BT Basic Broadband sing BT Voyager 105 ADSL Modem my Standard Dialup was transferred to BT PayasyouGo Dial Up which I intended to use as a back-up of Broadband failed. On trying to install BT Broadband I continually found "Dial Up Modem not found". Whenever I tried to connect to Broadband the low speed dia; up mem was connected instead even thoughthe BT Broadband was "default". In the end I got BT Broadband connected by removing the Dial-Up from the Control Panel. The connection worked until the computer was shut down when the Broadband connection would fail and the only way to restore it was to insert the BT Broadband CD and run the dslsetup.exe and reinstall thje Voyager Drivers over the old ones. The powered up reboot could be used without trouble. I then restored the Dial-Up to the Control Panel after uninstalling the BT PayasyouGo. Once again the system worked correctly but I now lose the Broadband connection (if try to connect get "Dial-Up modem not found") and can only restore by rerunning dslsetup.exe. Please advise: 1. How to obtain connection which will maintain the computer on BT Basic Broadband after both rebooting and repowering computer. 2. How to still have a backup low speed connection of Broadband fails.

    - ID of C_Restore files Good morning, afternoon or evening (as the case may). After my last visit, as I mentioned at the time, I was able to recover 3GB of space. I know this is not a lot to those that have 100GB+ drive but when you have only 20GB, it's a big deal. Since then I have been watching this particular folder and I am wondering if I could get a bit of insight about the files. I am currently running the following: Win Me 4.90.3000, IE 5.50.4807.2300 with my trusty Outlook Express. My startups are ZA 2.6.362, Spyblocker 5.0 and AVG 7.0.308. In my restore/archive folder, as of 04/29/2005, I have FS1.cab through FS9.cab and RG42682079.cab through RG4272378c.cab. These files total 152MB. I flushed this folder 04/21/2005. My questions. 1. What do the FS and RG zip files represent? 2. Should I be generating these files in this way at this pace? 3. Do I need to reset some switches and if so which ones?

When does this error happen?.....is it random or are you performing a
particular task at the time?
Provide as much info as you can, i.e. running processes & system specs.
Heirloom, old and surely, someone can help

WINDOWS PROTECTION ERRORS
Last updated March 19, 2003
http://aumha.org/win4/kbewpe.php

Windows Protection Errors can occur due to many different causes, including:
virtual driver (VxD) problems, including conflicts between real-mode and
protected-mode drivers, or when a protected-mode driver already initialized
is loaded from SYSTEM.INI, or when a VxD file is damaged; a damaged
Registry; a virus; a damaged WIN.COM or COMMAND.COM file; CMOS settings
errors; Plug-and-Play malfunction; and hardware problems, including a
malfunctioning cache, malfunctioning RAM, or a damaged motherboard. The
articles and other links below should be quite helpful in identifying and
resolving these problems.

however, I have only had success by reverting to a previous time using
WinME System Restore.
