    - Internet Explorer vs. Firefox? A general question: Several sources recommend on the internet to switch from Microsoft's Internet Explorer to Mozilla's Firefox, because of its much safer features, especially where hackers gaining access is concerned and Microsoft being slow in creating defensive software. What is the consensus in this NG? I did try Firefox without eliminating IE but didn't like it as much, besides incurring some minor problems. Therefore I uninstalled within days. Right now they are talking about something that hides itself from being detected, even though it doesn't seem to be very harmful or it even being beneficial. As of right now I am quite satisfied with the performance of my IE. Should I be concerned at all? Harry. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - Speaker Volume/uploading digital photos/shut down I have new speakers less than a year but I am getting no volume. When I went to check my computer I found that the tone for bass and treble was down to the lowest. But the slider would not move for me to adjust it. Also, my program opens for me to upload digital photos but it would not upload. I installed it again but it still did not work. I have ME and sometimes my screen looks like a zebra butterfly (yellow and black stripes) when I am ready to shut down. I have run scans for bugs and I went to system restore but the systom restore was unsuccessful. Can you help? Tag: internet connection wizard in winME Tag: 246604

    - Windows explorer trying to access internet - repost Sorry, a repost because of slight error in IP code. Lately when I start windows Me I get a request via ZoneAlarm to allow Windows Explorer to access the internet. The IP quoted is IP.239.255.255.250. Is this legit? Also AVG has started to crash out to the 'blue screen' before completing (a convenient way of avoiding reporting a virus). Is AVG (database 475) suspect? I've used google on the IP address and there are a number of people asking what this IP is all about. Unfortuneately most of the posts are not in English so I can only read a few and they are very technical. All I can make out is that the IP is based in California. Am I right in thinking that Windows Explorer is used basically to run my PC and has no need to connect to the outside world? Tag: internet connection wizard in winME Tag: 246598

    - New HDD and OS I am fitting a new hard disk to my PC as a replacement for the original. I wish to run win ME. The PC is an HP Pavilion and came with a Win 98 'recovery' cd. Along the way I have upgraded to Win ME with a non-OEM Win ME 'upgrade' CD. I have all the necessary product keys and documentaion still with both cd's. The product ID for the 98 cd includes the string - OEM-. My question is .... can I load ME directly onto the new HDD, and use the 'recovery' cd as proof of purchase ? OR, do I have to load Win 98, then upgrade to Win ME, and will 98 load direct from the 'recovery' cd onto a completely bare HDD ? I could ghost an image of my current HDD and simply swap drives, but I would prefer a fresh start as the PC has already done 4 years on 98 without a reformat or reload and I keep hearing that Win98 registry will be in a dismal way.

    - What is this character...? What is this character and how do you type it in DOS...? >> £ << I downloaded a game tonite, didn't like it, and tried to delete it. It wasn't a standard install, and had no uninstall...you just delete the folder. (OK it was a cracked game with no install...just an unpack...please...no lectures...just help please...) While trying to empty the recycle bin, it said it couldn't find some weird named file, and wouldn't let me empty it. I went into the game folder, and started deleting folders one by one. I got to a folder with what appeared to be some sort of texture files, with a crapload of 'em in there. They looked like they had the same sort of name as what the recycle bin wouldn't delete. So I started deleting them, column by column...one by one... till I got to two of them that just won't delete. When I try to delete them, move them, rename them, change the properties...I get this error message... "Cannot Delete File Windows is unable to find the file. This item might have already been deleted or moved. Press F5 to refresh the view of this folder." I refreshed, rebooted, rebooted and tried in safemode... Ran my antivirus and adware/spyware progs... NOTHING makes these two files go away, and windows is saying it can find them... WTF...??? So I did some reaserch on the net, and I read that you need to delete it in DOS. I don't know DOS...but seem to remember this happening a few yrs. ago, and someone talking me thru a "deltree" (?) in DOS. So I got like C:>DEL Foldername\filename.extension... but the filename has that damned weird symbol/character typed above in it's name that I don't know how to type. (I had to copy and paste t from the actual filename.) Anyone up and awake out there...? Please help...??? Thanks! The Magician Tag: internet connection wizard in winME Tag: 246575

    - kernel32.dll and blue screen problems I'm having three problems that might be related, and I hope someone can tell me what to do. First, I'm frequently getting a windows dialog box that says "Psinfo has caused an error in kernel32.dll. Psinfo will now close." That in itself doesn't seem to cause any other problem. Second, I am frequently getting a full-screen popup ad for Winantivirus. The only way to get rid of it is with Ctrl-Alt-Del. Third, I'm getting a dreaded blue screen more and more often with the following error message: "VWIN32(05) + 00002065 Error: 0E : 0028 : C0287E95". With that my computer freezes completely and I have to power off. The shutdown blows out my virus scan (McAfee) which I then have to download again in order to restore. In addition to McAfee Virus Scan I'm also running Panicware Popup Stopper (free edition) and Lavasoft Ad- Watch. But these problems occur whether or not I have the Popup Stopper or the Ad-Watch on. I've done complete Ad- Aware scans and Virus scans and everything seems to be clean. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks! Tag: internet connection wizard in winME Tag: 246478

Will the FaultLog help me to narrow down the cause, and how to go about fixing it? Tag: internet connection wizard in winME Tag: 246475
