    - Windows ME hangs up during startup My Windows ME freezes in the middle of startup. I usually get a black screen with the blinking cursor or it freezes on the ME screen. If I shut down and reboot, it will get me to the black screen where I can choose Safe Mode. Then it boots all the way to the Help screen. I shut down properly and then reboot again. It will start up all the way and then do it's scan disk for improper shutdown. If I shut down right away again again, it will boot with no problems. If I'm off the computer for a long time, it freezes Every time. Any ideas??? Thank you. Tag: too many parameters Tag: 227288

    - HP Pavilion / Windows ME Memory Issue I have and HP Pavilion 8705 (a or i - can't tell?) w/Win ME. I have had difficulty loading anything extra on this PC due to low resources. I started with 128M of ram (factory), and then subsequently added another 128M, then ultimately another 512M - totalling 768M of RAM. I would expect that this would be sufficient to have several apps running at the same time. Heck, when I run just Quicken 2003 and AOL 9.0, I'm down to 35% in system resources. I've attempted to cut down on the # of things running in the background (using msconfig), yet I shouldn't have to do this, or should I? Is ME (using automatic memory settings, instead of me setting the virtual mem settings) that much of a memory hog? Do you know if I have not properly xn'd my memory? A jumper? It does acknowledge the entire memory at start up, and in the system screen. I just don't know what else to do, other than use this as a boat anchor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - enter network password prompt for WindowsMe I am a computer novice. This weekend I spent countless hours reloading my entire OS. Once done, I now get a prompt every time I log on that says the following: "enter your network password for Microsoft networking" Although I can clearly just click on the "cancel" option, I would like some way of disabling this prompt so I don't have to deal w/it every time I turn on my computer.

    - Upgrading from Windows 98SE Should I upgrade my operating system to Windows Me? I've been using Win98SE (2nd edition) for about 4 years now and it has served me well on what would be considered a Pentium II class computer (AMD K6-2 500mhz CPU). I have another system which I acquired as a hand me down. The OS in it is Windows Me. This system is a Pentium III class computer (600mhz CPU). So far, both systems are stable. My only complaint is having to adjust to the different graphical interface whenever I use one or the other. How is one OS better than the other? Am I correct to assume that Windows Me will operate as well as if not better than Win98 on the older Pentium II class system? I use the older system to do basic computing (word processing, financial record keeping, digital photo editing, etc.) and the other system for web browsing. I am not yet ready to upgrade to a faster computer until the end of this year. Thanks in advance Tag: too many parameters Tag: 227221

    - Warning Message From Dan Gookin This was brought to my attention this morning, but by this evening it's become apparent that this latest virus threat is making too much progress to be ignored. The virus is known as w32.Beagle. It arrives on your computer as an EXE file attachment. As you well know from reading my books and the newsletter, EXE files are NOT to be opened. Yet many folks (who don't read my stuff) do so, and the infection spreads. * If the subject line of the message is "Hi!" and there is an EXE file attachment, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. Delete the message instantly. * If you're using anti-virus software, it should catch this sucker; most anti-virus programs are geared to warn you about EXE file attachments anyway. Even so, do consider updating your anti-virus software with the latest virus definitions to be safe. * A firewall will NOT stop this virus from infecting your computer. * Macintosh and Linux computers are not affected. * Vital links confirming that this is not a hoax and that I'm not wasting your time: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_857408.html http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.beagle.a@mm.html http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=581&ncid=581&e=1&u=/nm/20040119/tc_nm/tech_internet_virus_dc Best, DAN -- --- Weekly Wambooli Salad #*******************************************************************# If you like this newsletter, please tell your friends! #*******************************************************************# For more information, visit this newsletter's InfoPage: http://www.wambooli.com/newsletter/weekly/info/ Copyright (C)2004 by Quantum Particle Bottling Company, Inc.
