    - VX2DLL When opening my computer (Windows ME) I am getting a message that says "Explorer has caused an error in VS2DLL." I am not able to open any of my files or use any desktop icons to get to anything. I am able to use instant messanger and that's about all. Could anyone give me some help? What do I need to do to correct this problem and what does it mean? Thanks. Tag: problem on registry Tag: 228232

    - Unknown Errors Every time my brother opens an application in windows ME this message appears; Explorer has caused an error in (unknown). Explorer will now quit. You can replace Explorer with any application name. We can't figure out why this is happening. He recently had some hardware installation problems but thought he had solved them. It was immediately after starting back up the computer that the errors started. If anyone has any advice for us it would be very much appreciated. Thanks Scott Tag: problem on registry Tag: 228229

    - Autorun error 193 Don't know what I did or someone else in my family, haha, but when I install disk I get a message that says something like autorun could not open the disk, if you removed the disc, replace it. The error message is autorun 193. When I put in a game disc in for instance, the game screen will open where it lets you install, but after I hit install, I get this error. I even tried my recovery disc and nothing at all comes up or happens. Marty Tag: problem on registry Tag: 228224

    - Problems with Norton Speed Disk For some reason I cannot use Norton Speed Disk on my laptop. It used to work fine but now it seems to get stuck. I have a Sony VAIO notebook running Windows Me, and a hard drive of 10 Gb that is partitioned in two drives, a C drive of about 4 Gb containing the operating system and program files and a D drive of about 6 Gb containing data files. The C drive contains about 2.5 Gb of data. When I try to defragment this drive a certain sequence occurs: Speed disk is first "optimizing folders", then does some "sorting" and finally goes on to the task of "optimizing". At first all seems to go fine, but then at some point the program gets stuck by just endlessly repeating the first two phases of "optimizing folders" and "sorting". This can go on for hours, but often the program just crashes and shuts down. I've tried to defragment in safe mode but Speed Disk won't run in this mode. I've checked disk integrity and all but cannot find anything wrong. Does anyone know what may be causing this behavior and how I can correct it? Thanks, Paul -- This is my tagline; make me an offer and it's yours! Tag: problem on registry Tag: 228223

    - Memory space I need to delete some things to open up the memory on my hard drive. I recently had to re-install Windows because of a virus problem. When going through the re-install process, I was asked if I wanted to keep my old version of Windows. I answered yes and now my computer is running slower than ever. I can not figure out how to delete the original Windows or what else I can do to speed my system up. I intend to buy more RAM but in the meantime, my digital internet connection is as slow as my dial-up used to be. Can anyone suggest something that will help? Tag: problem on registry Tag: 228213

    - Windows hanging on 1st start up Hi all - Windows has started to hang on the first startup since day before yesterday. I thought at first it was just a 'thing', but, it is doing it with every new startup. After I turn it off with the power button, it then restart it comes up and works fine. I am not getting any error messages, it just freezes up It seems to load ok, I have my active desktop displayed, but, once that happens it just seems to hang, lock up, and I have to turn it off with the power button and then restart. . It stops processing at the same place each time, before the AV and then Zone Alarm loads. I recall seeing a few other posts about a same or similar event, but, can't nail them down, or remember the solution. I would truly appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a KB article or Help file that will address this. I found a couple of KB articles, but, they did not address this problem. Best regards, Jan :) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

    - Deleting AOL files. I have inherited my kids HP computer now that they are off to college. I have deleted the main AOL program using Add/Remove but am left with 25 or so associated AOL files. All sorts of stuff. The os is Win ME. 1. Can I delete these files from the Search program or print them off and track them down with Windows Explorer or My Computer and still end up with a properly operating Win ME ? 2. With information from this newsgroup I fixed the logon password problem and the problem with it starting in Selective startup instead of Normal startup. Thanks gang. Now when it boots up I get an Internet Explorer main window popping up without being connected to the Internet. Could not find any reference to this in the Startup section of MSCONFIG. Thoughts ? Thanks in advance. Des Tag: problem on registry Tag: 228183

    - DVD Playback I've just added a DVD player to a rebuilt Windows ME machine. The drivers came with the drive unit, so I'm assuming it is setup OK... I can use the drive as a CD without any problems, but I'm cant seem to get DVDs going. On my XP Pro machine, I can view DVDs in windows media player, but not on the ME machine. Buried in the options are file associations; my XP machine has an option for DVDs, but the ME machine doesnt... What do I need to do to play DVDs on this unit?

    - Start Menu Help Dear One And All, When I click "Help" from the start menu I am lately getting the notice that "windows cannot find "helpctr.exe" " despite the fact that it is right where it is supposed to be. This is not a problem when "Help" is accessed through "Accessories>System Restore>Help" nor when accessed while in "Safe Mode". Anyone any idea why this would be and what one can do to restore the proper linkage to "Start>Help"? Sincerely, Mr. David Oltmann Tag: problem on registry Tag: 228167
