    - ME 06:0000:00002c44 blue screen I am reading that a lot of ME users are having a *known* issue following a Microsoft update, in the past few days. I am helping out a lady with a sudden error 06:0000:00002c47. Can someone give me some help with what to do about this? Will someone post a link to a fix here? I can download it for her but her problem is it causes constant Blue Screens and errors when she connects to the Internet. Unfortunately, her system restore was not turned on.

    - Help! Accidentally disconnected D: drive! I am a buffoon (I am!) In Windows Explorer I was clicking around too quickly and must have hit "disconnect network drive" or whatever, well I assume I did, because since then my D: drive (CD player) has disappeared! It goes from C: to E: (CD writer). I clicked on "map network drive" to see how to get it back. It asks me to fill an a screen (pre-filled with D:) and asks for a "path"......? I looked at the Windows Help facility, and it advised me to put in:- \\computername\foldername, or something? Huh......?! There isn't any folder that was on D: drive before...... I just used to use it for playing CDs! Have I cocked up big time or is there any easy solution? Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

    - Can't Change Window Text Seems like when I think everything's fixed, I find something else. I wanted to make changes in my desktop settings. Right clicked on desktop > properties >appearance. Made some changes, didn't like them and attempted to go back to settings I had before. Chose "windows standard" scheme and applied. Every thing came back the way it was except the text was much larger than before. Clicked on "window text" and nothing hapened. Opened the "Item" pull down menu. Window text is not listed. I made a system restore point yesterday after all my other problem were fixed. Used system restore to go back to that point and my desk top looks right but "window text" is still missing from the menu. Any suggestions? Thanks Euell Tag: #2 question " documents" Tag: 262799

    - KB891711 trouble seems to be graphic issue On the one hand, I am reluctant to start a new thread, with so many already scattered about. On the other hand, I have something concrete that I discovered, and it seems to warrant a new thread. As a background, I found that the "Kb891711.exe" patch caused problems on one of my computers. Poking around the groups I found a scattered list of possible causes. Broswers. AV programs. Software firewalls. Processors. In every case, somebody had a counter example to the claim. My solution to avoid the crashes was to stop the process with the Close Programs list; the computer running Windows ME. Then use Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel to remove it from the system. This deletes four registry keys, and two system files; leaving only the folder to which the system files were written. So there is no need to take super drastic steps; like System Restore rollback, or Format & Reinstall. Worst case is that you would have to boot in Safe Mode, I should think. However, I was curious. Because of the counter examples, I decided to install the patch on a second, identical computer. Both computers are HP Pavilion 6745Cs. Intel Celeron 700MHz processors. Intel 82810 graphics chip set. Windows ME. Kb891711 crashes one computer ("Megumi"), but not the other computer ("Naomi"). Differences? A few programs in startup; but none on Megumi that are definitively problematic on every computer with crashes; I can find a counter example for each program on Megumi, which doesn't cause crashes on some other computer. When I checked the driver versions, I notice that I hadn't updated the graphics drivers on Naomi. As things stood, I had the following: Megumi: ------- Intel Celeron 700MHZ processor Intel 82810 graphics chip set (driver version: 4.13.01.3196) Windows ME Naomi: ------ Intel Celeron 700MHZ processor Intel 82810 graphics chip set (driver version: 4.13.01.3004) Windows ME Kb891711 causes all browsers to blue screen on Megumi, but causes no problems on Naomi. So I just rolled back the driver update on Megumi; it is now, like Naomi, on Intel driver version 4.13.01.3004. I just reinstalled the Kb891711 "patch". Tested launch on all browsers which crashed Megumi before. MSIE6 SP1, Firefox 1.0.1, Mozilla 1.7.5, Netscape 7.2. No crashes. It looks, to me, like a graphics driver issue. I don't know if the onus should be on Intel to provide an updated graphics driver for the 82810 graphics chip set, but I suspect not. Kb891711 is a "kludge", not a "patch". It does not patch system files, it runs resident from the RunServices key. The vulnerability that it "fixes" is still present. In my opinion, this "kludge" needs to be fixed with a true patch; one that won't break the OS when current graphics drivers are installed. Now to review the MSFT write up on the vulnerability. It may be that I don't need to run kb891711.exe; if my default browser, Firefox 1.0.1, isn't vulnerable, I will just restore things. On Megumi, anyway. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint Tag: #2 question " documents" Tag: 262784

    - MSN Messenger Why is it that after removing Msn Messenger from Add/Remove and diabling it in startup, the program is still hanging around as if nothing happened? It may turn out that I will be needing it for OE to work properly, but I wanted to delete everything in order to find out. I was amazed to discover how many files were still present on my machine, even after the removal of the program. Any ideas on accomplishing my goal? Harry. Tag: #2 question " documents" Tag: 262768

    - List Of Problems HP (OEM) Win ME, I use AdAware, Spybot, SpywareBlaster, Tauscan and AVG. These happen consistently 1. If rundll32 is in the tasklist, using endtask on it produces an error message, clicking OK produces a new error message for another item in the tasklist until empty and then will not restart/shutdown unless powered off. 2. If rundll32 is in the tasklist and I Ctrl-Alt-Del twice, system restarts, gets to startup menu but if/when I select 1 or 2 it hangs with a blinking cursor, keyboard does not respond (capslock, numlock inop). Cold boot works after that but windows does not detect an improper shutdown. 3. Acrord32 does not unload when terminated, using endtask puts rundll32 in the tasklist and back to problem #1.(6.0.1 installed, d/l update now). 4. Scandisk is set to append to log, it does append but only for 3-4 sessions then it overwrites the existing log (oldest of unfixed problems). Consistent but less frequent 1. Windows starts or restarts in a state where things do not respond to cursor hover, taskbar will not popup unless clicked, start menu items do not expand unless clicked, no baloon help/info. 2. Installed Netscape ISP this a.m. and now many of the desktop icons periodically relocate as if the screen resolution were reduced/lowered but display > advanced still indicates 800x600x16bit (only happened 3-4 times so far). Going to get the cwshredder now. Help with any of these is appreciated. Thanks in advance Tag: #2 question " documents" Tag: 262759

    - System Restore Restore I'm geting several bits of problems: Malware; trojan; one virus. Before tackling them I looked at the system Restore and it does not seem right. I can get the C:\_Restore\Temp file on Start|Search which gives me 28 folders with about 1.8 Mb. My slider is around 400 Mb. However I cant get the file directly on "C" (my hidden files are shown), just the \_Restore file = 4 files 64 Kb. Just in case, I created a new restore point yesterday, hasnt changed the restore file (may be too soon). Appreciate any suggestion; SR broken?

    - Startup Disk From a different thread I needed to boot up from a startup disk and, naturally, couldn't find it. I went to control panel - add/remove - create startup disk, clicked on "create disk" and nothing happened! The ok and cancel buttons flicked to the grey for a second and that's all. Fair enough, I can get a startup disk form other sources (and have) but why can't I make one on my own PC? Is there something I have to run (possibly unchecked from startup) to use this facility? I haven't been able to find anything about this on the Internet. Thanks, Hillneerg I thought I had better post this as a new thread. Thanks Tag: #2 question " documents" Tag: 262726

    - Re-install ME I have an older PC which came with 98,2ED. Subsequently I upgraded to Windows ME. The CD is the upgrade version which will search for an earlier version of Windows before installing. I would like to have a totally clean install of ME as I attempt to track down the source of some problems. Is there any way I can perform a clean install of ME to a re-formatted drive without first installing 98,2ED? Peter. Tag: #2 question " documents" Tag: 262718

Upon pressing it returns to desktop and most things seem to run OK. It then occurs when I try to start Internet Explorer and also when I try to view certain folders using Windows Explorer.

    - Boot up problems please help!! "Hi people, I?m new here! Hopefully you can help, here goes:- My PC is running Windows ME on a PIII 750 with 256 ram & 30gb hard disk with plenty space free. Booting this machine is becoming something of a nightmare! I?m pulling my hair out!!! Its frequently taking numerous attempts to get a successful bootup. Keep getting blue screens saying "an excetion OE has occurred at VxD VMM(01) then a couple of strings of numbers (which I think maybe are locations on the HD) it also says "it may be possible to continue press any key to continue" then after that happens usually the same thing will repeatedly occur several times then the PC will either stabilize or automatically reboot. When this reboot thing occurs the same thing often follows untill eventually I get a sucessful boot. It can take 10 attempts to get the PC up and running! By the way these blue screens seem to occur right at the very end of the boot up attempt, as all the icons in the sytem tray have finally appeared. My knowledge of computers is scarce, thats why I?ve been searching for help and eventually found here! What I have tried so far is to run a full scan of my PC with both AVG and Mc Afee anti virus(both fully upto date) - to no avail - I had initially suspected some sort of boot virus but it seems not to be the case. Since then I?ve downloaded a program called Windows Registry Repair, which has cost me a few £?s and that didn?t sort my problem as I?d hoped it would. It has made the PC run a lot faster - like it used to when it was new. That on its first scan of my registry found 511 errors! Which as I said has made a world of difference in the speed of my PC and crashes are less frequent, but the boot up problem remains. I?m desperately hoping you guys can help! I don?t want to have to reformat if at all possible but soon I think if I don?t find some answers that will be the only choice. Oh yes also please could you tell me how to clear out some of the unwanted icons in the system tray? Its getting rather full with 8 or 9 icons in there at start up! I usually end up closing them once the PC has finally booted up." -- Posted using the http://www.windowsforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.windowsforumz.com/General-Discussion-Boot-problems-help-ftopict344158.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

    - Explorer does not display files for C:\ Hi A friend of mines PC is running ME and for some reason, when looking at the root of C: drive in Explorer, the right hand pane does not display any icons or file details. This is ONLY happening in the root of C: drive and the contents of any sub-folders, suchas as c:\windows or c:\program files displays ok. When C:\ is selected in the left-hand tree-view, the status bar at the bottom will display "58 objects" and if I press Ctrl + A, it'll say "58 items selected", so I know there are files there. When viewing c:\ with a command prompt, "dir" will display all files as expected. I've tried changing the view in Explorer from Icons, List, Details etc but this doesn't have any effect. Is this known behaviour of any known virus? I've heard that desktop.ini can be used to force Explorer to not display files in a given folder but cannot find any documentation regarding this on MSDN. Any ideas gratefully received. Ben Tag: #2 question " documents" Tag: 262551

    - Dial-Up network adaptor problem. Hello, my Toshiba satellite 2800-S201 laptop is having dial-up network software problems. When I try to dial into my ISP I am be able to log on and get past the userID and password authentication process, but right after the dial up window would minimize I would get a "this page cannot be displayed" message." I know I was connected to the ISP server because the network connection status shows a small number of bytes (429 sent, 645 received) as being transferred and received. Anyway I asked someone what might be causing this problem and their suggestion was to delete the TCP/IP protocol and the dial up adaptor because either might be corrupt. I followed these directions found in the troubleshooter help guide of Windows ME under Error 645: To delete all connections On the desktop, double-click My Computer, and then double-click Dial-Up Networking. Right-click a connection, and then click Properties. Make a note of all of the settings on the various tabs, and then click OK. Right-click the connection, and then click Delete. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each connection. To remove all dial-up adapters Open Network properties in Control Panel. In the 'The following network components are installed list', double-click a dial-up adapter, make a note of all of the settings on the various tabs, and then click Cancel. Click the dial-up adapter, and then click Remove. Click OK to confirm the removal. If the list includes additional dial-up adapters, don't restart your computer until you repeat steps 2 through 4 for each adapter. If there are no more dial-up adapters in the list, restart your computer when you are prompted to do so. To remove Dial-Up Networking Open Add Remove Software in Control Panel Click the Windows Setup tab. In the Components list, double-click Communications. In the Components list, clear the Dial-Up Networking check box. Click Yes, click OK, and then click OK again. When your computer finishes copying files, restart it. Then I reinstalled Dial-up networking by following the troubleshooter help guide again. (All of the ME CAB files are located on the laptop's hard drive in the C:\windows\options folder): To reinstall Dial-Up Networking Open Add Remove Software in Control Panel. Click the Windows Setup tab. In the Components list, double-click Communications. In the Components list, select the Dial-Up Networking check box. Click OK, and then click OK again. When your computer finishes copying files, restart it. Then I re-made the network connection to my ISP in the Dial-Up networking - Make a new connection section. When I went to launch IE 5.5 the modem dialed and connected to the ISP, the dial up window minimized when the ISP authenticated my userID and password but Internet Explorer again reported that 'this page cannot be displayed'. I am keying in the correct url - www.yahoo.com so I'm at a loss to understand why the software won't complete the task of loading a web page. Sorry for such a drawn out question but I've spent several hours fiddling with this and hope you can guide me to a positive outcome. Any help with this problem would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Tag: #2 question " documents" Tag: 262503

    - A Question About Reinstalling Win ME From The Hard Drive I loaned my PC to my 15 year old nephew for several weeks while I was out of town. When I returned, I found that he decided to "do surgery" on some of the system files and utilities. Specs: Compaq Presario 5WV232 20gb HDD 750mhz AMD Duron MMX 320mb RAM 8mb AGP NVidia TNT2 graphics card SoundMax Digital Audio I have found that he hacked the registry to pieces in areas, the PC crashes randomly, various errors (while running/startup/shutdown), system restore has been completely removed (not disabled but deleted entirely), DirectX 9.0c is buggy, a display driver that is only partly compatable (there appears the be two drivers installed in Add/Remove & there is many display errors etc.), wrong audio driver (wavs play but nothing else, even with all codecs installed), the list goes on and on. I have went through and extracted many of the missing system files from the install cabs and reinstalled many programs but I cannot revert the registry using "scanreg" or "regedit" because the backup files were deleted and the scanreg "/fix" command line does nothing for the problem. I have also tried to reinstall the correct drivers. But all of this is rather useless because the registry entries still keep these changes from being fully effective in many ways. I feel that I could possibly salvage things but my main concern is that System Restore has been completely removed. I don't know exactly what files are needed from the Cab files in order to extract them to their proper locations. In any case, I would like to do a reinstall but my original Windows ME disks were destroyed by my kid's dogs a while back <g>. I have run through only the first steps of doing a reinstall from the hard drive (via c:\windows\options\install\setup.exe) to ensure that all of my Cab files are present and complete. Everything looks good. My question is this, does the reinstall from the HD delete everything and leave you with a clean install of Win ME or does it restore the OS only? Seeing as how all of my programs still function correctly (except where the audio and/or display creates conflicts) and for the sake of not having to start from scratch, can I reinstall ONLY the complete OS from the Windows\Install folder without wiping out everything on my HD? If this is possible, are there any special steps needed (for example, uninstalling WMP 9.0 and IE 6.0)...or if someone could direct me to a reliable source of info on partial reinstalls from the HD. I have searched the net on the subject but all I can find is info on complete reinstalls by formatting and then reinstalling using the original disks. I would greatly appreciate any help you could give. TIA! Tag: #2 question " documents" Tag: 262493
