    - two windows when emailing I have a annoying problem that comes up whenever I compose a new email from my default email, which is Earthlink. It is a problem that comes up recently. Whenever I CCP someone's email address, and click on 'compose new email' on my Earthlink email server, I get two windows instead of one. How can I get rid of this annoying problem-openning two windows instead of one? Earthlink techs did not seem to know how to rid of it. Is it a Windows problem? Tag: reboot in safe mode Tag: 257196

    - Windows ME all downloads hang during install Using latest spyware, malware programs, etc. When microsoft downloads are attempted, program downloads a 2 MB file then takes 3 hours to install then hangs. I tried to download flash player, began download then just hangs without any messages. Am using reputable ISP on a dial-up. 10GB hard drive avail with 128MB ram. I add/remove programs, Windows ME does NOT show up in the add/remove window. How can I re-install (if necessary)or remove for upgrade if I can't see it? I tried to install something called MDAC without success. I am computer literate, just can't solve this and neither can others who are more proficient than me.

    - computer on or off I have a laptop computer that I have been powering off ever since I got it. But now is reconsidering whether to leave it on whenever I get off the internet. I get tired of pulling the power chord out of the power strip. And it may not be saving my battery. Overtime I Power up the battery shows low power. So is it best to keep the laptop power up, making it easier for start ups? What are your opinions? Tag: reboot in safe mode Tag: 257138

    - Clean Install of ME I want to do a clean install of ME over '98. I tried reformatting the C: Drive as per Article ID 221829, and then Article ID 66706, but when I try format c: /s I get a message saying that Windows doesn't support this type of formatting any more and I need to make a startup disk, which I obviously have otherwise I wouldn't be here. Can you tell me in plain English how to do a clean install of ME from a CD onto a hard disk starting from scratch. Thanks. -- Thanks - Ted Tag: reboot in safe mode Tag: 257124

    - Explorer cannot communicate with modem Hi Everyone, A snag that has me baffled. My modem will dial-up and connect to my internet provider; no problem there. The problem is: whenever I try to activate anything to the internet I receive this message, "Explorer has caused an error in <unknown>. Explorer will now close." "If this problem continues reboot." I close the message and explorer does close. I know I downloaded something which caused this problem, but I do not know what or what to delete. I am about to delete - format- reinstall Win Me. Any better ideas out there? -- Sincerely & thanks, Dick Tag: reboot in safe mode Tag: 257123

    - For What It Is Worth I've had a continuing problem with my HP Pavilion system in that it would halt and/or go into Restart on its own especially after being on web sites or games that had a lot of graphics. Everything I read said this was indicative of a heat problem, power problem, or video card problem. I ruled out heat and power so I ordered a new video card. While waiting for it to arrive I learned enough cruising these MS NGs to check the memory status in the BIOS. I found that one of the two 64M chips was not working. Replaced the defective chip with a 128M chip and my system is running fast and I haven't had anymore random halts/restarts. I cancelled the order for the video card and lived somewhat happily ever after. Job remarks, "Knowledge is sometimes better than book learnin'." Tag: reboot in safe mode Tag: 257107

    - Hibernate and Stand By Hi. Does Anyone AT ALL know why the Hibernate and Stand by functions have simply stopped working? I recently had to reformat my hard drive (first time ever) and all was well for a while until one day I couldn't use those functions. I also just installed, hoping in vain, clearly that the problem will be fixed, a Registry Repair tool (AOS), but running the software didn't solve the issue (also clearly, registry and the power save functions are not related). So again, can please anyone tell me whyhave they stopped working and how to fix it? It's not a big issue, I can live without those (before the reformat, both had worked just fine, never a problem with them), but I'm afraid they are a sign of something bigger brewing under the surface just waiting for an opportunity to strike... Please only post if you know how to deal with this issue or where to find the remedy. Thanks. Tag: reboot in safe mode Tag: 257098

    - compatibility issue Background: I have a piece of software that is supposed to unlock a GSM phone from the phone company it was originally used with. The original company is in the UK; I am in the US, so third party unlocking software is needed to get the phone free to link to a new network. This was not a free phone and is useful because it is a tri-band unit usable in most countries. Problem: The program, called client.exe will not open properly. It reports Error Imported 0x02F2 API not found I reported the problem to the vendor, who responded oddly: "The software is compatible, although it is better to use a Win XP computer. We have had some customers experiencing trouble opening the file, usually the problem is solved when trying it on a different computer. If you still can't open the file with another computer, please email us." Can anyone clarify what the problem is? Running around trying random computers does not seem to be a reasonable solution. Is this software really not ME compatible? I can eventually get access to an XP machine but I would really like to know what the compatibility issue is and whether the vendor should be chastised for his advertised claims of "Windows compatible."

    - winme support disk It is my understanding the WinMe support disk is no longer available. Since I periodically format and reinstall WinME what files would I need to copy, on my existing system, should I want to just throw in my own reinstallation disk. I would like to eliminate going back to MS for updates and patches each time I reinstall. I have a cd burner so I'm guessing I need to make an "image" disk but I'm unsure which directories and/or files I need to copy. Thanks for help. Tag: reboot in safe mode Tag: 257073

    - "Windows Running in Audit Mode" : Finding by Symantec Automated Assistant Hello: I ran the Automated Assistant at the Symantec Support site and I was told that: [b]"Windows is running in "Audit Mode". This happens when the PC manufacturer does not turn off this setting before your PC leaves the factory. When "Audit Mode" is turned on, it prevents your Symantec product from finishing its setup. "[/b] From there, I was referred to the Symantec Knowledge Base Article: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2004092812391039?Open&src=con_asa_us It does mention two regisrty keys which are suggestive of "Audit Mode". I have only one of those keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion ---> Audit Mode followed by 00 00 00 00 The symantec KB article in turn refers to a Microsoft KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=282190 which only treats of Windows XP. I use Windows ME. Both Symantec products seem properly installed on my PC and the NAV 2004 appears to be updating and scanning with few problems. No viruses are infecting the PC. This is confirmed by an online TrendMicro scan. An online Security Check via Symantec shows the firewall working properly and indicates that a current AV program with updated virus definitions is installed. Since I've successfully installed several Smantec products over the past few years, I am somewhat baffled by this notice that the manufacturer of the PC had failed to turn off a setting prior to its leaving the factory. When I looked into the Microsoft article referred to at that Symantec article, it only addressed an issue in Windows XP. My OS is windows ME. Further complicating matters is another notice from that Automated Assistant that my NAV 2004 program files are not up to date. It recommends running Live Update to remedy this. However, when I run Live Update, I'm told that all the relevant symantec files are up to date. Can it be that the Symantec Automated Assistant is simply misleading and doesnt quite work with Windows ME, or is there likely to be some major problem in my NAV 2004?

    - direct connection to laptop I can not get the Win/ME desk host to connect to the Win95 laptop guest . I am using Laplink cable at the LPT1 port. Clients,protocol and microsot network is the same on both machines. The resource settings for the ports are different. Does that matter? It worked before, then something changed. On the desk at systems/ports it does not say any thing about the cable. Under modems it did know the cable was there but not right now. I can still connect the Win95 laptop to a Win98 laptop. so the problem must be with the ME desk. Tag: reboot in safe mode Tag: 257053

    - Critical Updates and Decreasing System Stability I've been faithfully installing Windows'ME Critical Updates for some time now and my system seems to be getting more and more unstable. I now get a blue screen crash almost every day and sometimes more than one a day. They are randomly erratic having no particular pattern or cause. Critical Updates appear to consist of an endless number of security updates to protect against hackers or deviant web sites accessing your computer. I'm not aware of there ever being an attempt to hack into my computer nor am I aware of anyone I know having had that experience. With the millions of web sites and hundreds of millions of users online everyday, the probability of getting hacked must be pretty low (especially for an on and off dial-up connection). The endless succession of Critical Updates never seem to offer fixes for known system bugs, which I would appreciate. I'm wondering if there isn't a connection between the endless procession of Critical Update patches and the increasing instability of the operating system. Might I be and have been better off ignoring the Critical Updates? -randau Oregon, USA I read and post from the Google Groups web site using a Spam collecting email address that I don't use for anything else.

    - Remote Desktop Client question(s) I am trying to configure a Windows ME PC to connect with a Windows XP-Pro desktop at work. I configured a VPN Connection to connect to my work LAN without any issues. However after downloading and installing the Remote Desktop Client, and configuring the client, I can not connect to the remote desktop. In fact I can not connect to any of the desktops in my lan. I am entering the correct login information (username, password, domain) in the client logon window. And it's not that the login information is wrong, it's that the ME system can not see the remote system. For a sanity check, I am able to connect without any problems from an off site WinXP system so I know the desktops are fine. The WinME's normal logon is the Windows logon vs a Domain logon (it is a home machine, you know). Any Ideas? Tag: reboot in safe mode Tag: 256999

    - Should I run Norton Systemworks 2004? More than a month ago I was running Norton SystemWorks 2004 on my computer with Win98 when my hard drive died. Granted, the drive was over four years old and had run past its warranty period, but I've heard a couple of rumors that this program is not good to run with ME.

Re: reboot in safe mode by Mike

I'm not quite sure I understand your problem. Safe Mode is an option at
startup rather than shutdown so what is happening when you attempt to
shutdown your PC? Or is it that having shutdown, your PC always restarts
in Safe Mode?

No, you wont have that in the shut-down dialogue menu.....do a restart, then keep
pressing F8 until you get the dos screen "startup/boot" menu, which has the
choice of "Safe Mode" among others.
