    - Shutdown causes a Restart The BIOS is at the most current version. PowerManagement has been disabled in the BIOS and OS. All of the hardware drivers are up to date. All MS patches have been applied. I have discovered that unplugging my cable modem from the USB port allows for a normal shutdown. (It's not the cable modem, because I changed the modem with another brand.) When I select "SHUT DOWN" the system appears to shutdown, but then it restarts. I'm out of ideas, drivers and patches! Can anyone offer any new thoughts? Thanks Tag: opening folder Tag: 208196

If I go to my desktop or task bar I can open IE and it goes to my homepage, but, I don't know where this other IE screen is coming from, previously I did have a blank IE screen because I didn't use a home page, could this be a ghost of the original drive?

    - Automatic update problem I have my Sony pCG-FX120 laptop set up to automatically download Windows updates and then prompt me to install. Yesterday the system tray icon for automatic updates appeared, I double-clicked, told it to install the updates, and then after it installed them it prompted me to reboot. I did, and now my computer never boots past the Sony splash screen at startup. I cannot get my computer to boot from floppy or CD-ROM. I can enter setup by pressing F2, and I have tried disabling hard-disc boot from there and yet nothing works. The computer displays the Sony logo then goes black. What's the deal?

    - system slow down I don't know if anyone can help or can offer any suggestions as to why the following problems might be happening. 1. I have a broadband connection but have found things haven't been working anywhere near as efficiently over the past week or so. It's most noticeable when I'm using services like eBay or search engines where I have to type something into the writeable field. Firstly there seems to be a delay between what I type and what comes up and also when I try and select the text with a mouse drag it doesn't really react and if it does there's a very noticeable delay. Also the pages seem to be taking their time loading. I've run a thorough scandisk check as well having an up to date virus protection prog (Norton) which I've tried running manually as well as automatically. Neither program reports any faults though, which is leaving me none the wiser. Any suggestions what it could be or how to solve it? I did run Spybot a while ago to get rid of any annoying stuff like Gator, but I'm not sure if this would have caused the problem. I also disabled a program that suddenly appeared called diskman.exe via the run > msconfig > Startup sequence. 2. My Epson color 740 just started printing in magenta only - lovely colour but everything's mauve! I wonder if it's a related problem or not? Can't be the cartidge as I just replaced it. Could a rogue virus have crept in somehow when I disabled Norton to run a scandisk check? If so, why does it show up and why isn't Norton fixing the problem? Anyhow, any ideas/help would be much appreciated as I don't want to spend the money on an engineer if it's something fairly straightforward. Also, as it's a 450Mhz Pentium 3, I don't want to waste money before I upgrade. Thanks in advance, Tobe Tag: opening folder Tag: 208150

    - Access Denied - source file in use Whenever I try to delete any file I get "access denied, source file in use" error. I tried Microsoft's recommended solution (switch to classic folders view, then try to delete the large image file causing the problem), but it didn't work. Firstly, I'm not sure which image file is the problem, all I know is that it is most likely a temporary internet file. I have run virus scans, and no virus problems exist. No dll issues either.

    - Start up About every fourth time I start up the dial up box arrives in the middle of the sreen before norton or any programs have been loaded on the right bottom of screen. At this point the desk top stops loading, sometimes if I cancel the dial up every thing continues OK at other times it goes to the blue screen to say things are unstable and I have to shut down and start up again, which it then does with no problem. This fault with the unwanted dial up only started about 5 weeks ago. I have cleared all cookies and temp internet files in case it was that but no change.

    - $6 into $60,000 in 90 days, GUARANTEED Postal lottery: Turn $6 into $60,000 in 90 days, GUARANTEED A little while back, I was browsing through news groups, just like you are now and came across a message just like this, that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!!! So I thought yeah right, this must be a scam!!! But like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the message. You then place your own name and address at the bottom of the list at #6 and post the message in at least 200 news groups. (There are thousands). No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first. I thought about trying it. I figured, what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right? So I invested the measly $6.00!!! Guess what? Within 7 days I started getting money in the mail!!! I was shocked!!! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in!!! In my first week, I had made about $25.00. By the end of the second week, I had made a total of over $1,000.00!!! In the third week, I had over $10,000.00 and it is still growing!!! This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it is still coming in rapidly!!! It's certanly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps!!! I have spent more than that on the lottery!!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works!!! Also, make sure you print a copy of this message now. So you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!!! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully!!! (Print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!!! It's easy!!! It's legal!!! Your investment is only $6.00 (plus postage). IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off!!! It is not illegal!!! ? It is almost entirely risk free and it really works!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will recieve extraordinary dividends!!! Please note: Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $60,000.00 or more can be yours in 20 to 90 days!!! This program remains successful because of the honesty and the integrity of the participants!!! Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the mail order business. In this business your product is not solid or tangible, it is a service. You are in the business of developing mailing lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from a mailing list is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included on your mailing list!!! Here are the 4 easy steps to success: Step 1: Get 6 seperate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper. PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST Now get 6 U.S. dollar bills and place ONE inside each of the 6 pieces of paper so the bills will not be seen through the envelopes (to prevent mail theft). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them, you should now have 6 sealed envelopes. Each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!! YOU ARE REQUESTING A LEGITIMATE SERVICE AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT!!! Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspect of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Postal Service and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: M. Lussier 3112 133A Ave NW Edmonton, AB T5A 2Z8 O. Kutnik 205-237 Auburn DR Waterloo, Ontario N2K 4G9 L. Keneston 7 Southbury Rd. Clifton Park, NY 12065 M. Perfetti 3529 Greenglen Circle Palm Harbor, FL 34684-3018 K. Waller 9343 Redhaven Dr. Sandy, UT. 84094 J. Dagley 619 Northview Greencastle, IN 46135 Step 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) and add your name as number 6 on the list. Step 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this message as close to what you see as possible. Now, post your amended message to at least 200 news groups. I think there are close to 24,000 groups!!! All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!!! This is perfectly legal!! If you have any doubts, refer to Title18 sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and whenever you need money, you can use it again. Please remember that this program remains successful because of the honesty and the integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions!!! Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have recieved will come your way!!! Note: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on your computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This verifies that you are truely providing a service. Also, it might be a good Idea to wrap the $1 bills in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft. So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a list developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position, you will be receiving thousands of dollars in cash!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00!!! ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above). Send it now, add your own name to the list and your in business!!! DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO A NEWS GROUP!!! Step 1: You do not need to re-type this entire message to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this message and drag your cursor to the bottom of this message and select copy from the edit menu. This will copy the entire message into the computer memory. Step 2: Open a blank note pad file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the edit menu select paste. This will paste a copy of the message into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3: Save your new notepad file as a txt file. If you want to do your posting in a different setting, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4: Use netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various news groups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions, etc.) Step 5: Visit these message boards and post this message as a new message by highlighting the text of this message from your notepad and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the subject, this will be the header that everybody sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group. Click the post message button. You've done your first one! Congratulations!!! All You have to do is jump to different news groups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each news group! REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWS GROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!!! (But you have to post a minimum of 200). Thats it!!! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days!!! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT!!! Now the why part. Out of 200 postings, say you recieve only 5 replies (a very low example). So then you made $5.00 with your name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who sent you $1.00 make the minimum 200 postings, each with your name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for you. Now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with your name at #4 and only 5 replies each, you will bring in an additional $125.00!!!! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the minimum 200 with your name at #3 and only recieve 5 replies each, you will make an additonal $625.00!!! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a minimum 200 messages with your name at #2 and they each only recieve 5 replies, that just made you $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 news groups, If just 5 more reply you will receive $15,625.00!!! All with an original investment of only $6.00!!! Amazing isn't it!!!! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the news groups and send out another $6.00 to the names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. You must realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these messages every day!!! Just like you are now!!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works? I'm glad I did!!! People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money?" So what!!! What are the chances of that happening, when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and news groups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day!!!

    - Error loading Explorer.exe in ME After running "live update" in Norton Systemworks, then downloading critical updates from Windows Update, my HP Pavilion notebook running Windows Me will not boot. After the Me banner screen and the usual beeps and clicks, the HP desktop shows for a couple of second then I get "Error loading Explorer.exe. You must reinstall Windows." I have followed the procedures in Knowledge Base article 299313 and after extracting and overwriting Explorer.exe, I get the same message. Following a suggestion on another website, I tried editing the Windows/system/ini. to make shell=progman.exe., then running System Restore. However, at the same point in the boot sequence I receive "Error loading Progman.exe. You must reinstall Windows." Can anyone help? Tag: opening folder Tag: 208078

    - RE: Firewall alerts! My av software recently detected the virus W32.Sobig.f In my email. Obviously I never opened the attachment and immediately binned it I then received it again the following day. It seems to be getting spammed via a ghost mail or some such software to me. Ok so I went and checked out some Av sites to find out about this virus it tells me that its a high risk worm worse apparently then the MSblast or lovsan worm, the sites also tell you about how the system sends udp packets etc, etc. to a range of various IP addresses and they in turn send you loads of shit back. however the virus first must be activated manually. Which I didnt do. It also apparently sends itself to all contacts in your mail list. I have an aardvark entry as an untrue email address entered into my contacts list so that it stops this behaviour happening with worms they see the fist entry in your list try to send but cant because the email add is incorrect and the first entry in the list so it cant continue.Straightforward but effective. Problem is no online AV software is showing a problem and my own AV software is no longer showing a prob but since contracting the worm My firewall has been taking a pounding form loads of different IPS, some of which were listed as the ones the virus sends the packets to. I am getting the warnings come on telling me about subseven and backdoor trojan hack attempts which get autoblocked as its set to do that on all ports but the ports are stealthed so technically shouldnt even be visible. Does anyone know what would be a resolve to this. I am getting at least 7 hack attempts daily now from all different IPS and have tried reporting it to my ISP with very little help. Any input at this point guys would be hellpful! Its Norton Internet Security I use and is up to date! Does anyone know if I there is a section on the software that I can see If I am being port scanned and how to block it? Where would I go in ME to check my ports manually? Thanks and cya.

    - nvram + mmsystem.dll = bad Last night, my computer froze. I rebooted it, and the screen came up in 640x480 with 16 colors. I can't fix it. If I change the resolution, it defaults to 16 colors. If I change the colors, it defaults to 640x480. It also insists on rebooting everytime I make a change to the display properties, despite going into the 'advanced' tab and telling it not to reboot. After three or four reboots, I started getting this error message: nvram has caused an error in mmsystem.dll. What can I do? Thanks, Josh W Tag: opening folder Tag: 208071

    - Unmanageable Windows Explorer Errors After unsuccessfully attempting to install a wireless networking card on my Dell Laptop, I've begun a chain reaction of errors that center around, Explorer has caused an error in <unknown> and will shut down, if you experience this again restart computer... This error comes up every few seconds unless I leave it open and ignore it. I could fix it with a system restore, except that Netgar's wonderful tech support recommended a reinstall of the ME OS. Now I have no check points to restore to. Internet Explorer will not work, I cannot establish a connection on my LAN...I've spent hours and nothing has helped. There seems to be some corruption somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I've tried to reinstall IE v6, but it could not complete the install...I'm really stuck. Tag: opening folder Tag: 208061

I have a "My Briefcase" folder that I can't open. I click
on it and nothing happens. This is the only folder that
this happens to. It doesn't give me an error message or
anything. It just doesn't open.
