    - Caution? Or is it just me?? Downloaded the latest Windows Update security patch (867801) and my computer had a non-stop series of errors.....Msgxxx that shut down IE....Java had a problem and shut down IE....screens kept freezing and general bad behaviour. Did a system restore within a few minutes of this odd behaviour and all is now fine. Nothing else had been changed and I just restored back 4 hours. Maybe see if anyone else has any problems??? That was the Cumulative Update one. Cheers.....Heather Tag: how to do a registry backup Tag: 248003

    - Wanted: simple, free firewall for WinME One of my machines is running on WinME and I'm looking for a very simple and free firewall to block inbound traffic only. I don't need logging or any other whistles and bells. I've tried the allegedly stable 4.5 version of Zone Alarm but it created all kinds of problems with other software so I uninstalled it. Any suggestions anyone? Terry Tag: how to do a registry backup Tag: 248001

    - Share Command Missing I've lost the command to share a folder in the context menu when I right-click on a folder. Is there a registry setting to restore the command? I had recently lost the "New" command also but was able to restore it through the registry. My existing shares are still accessible, but I'm not able to modify the settings or unshare the folder. I'm not certain what's causing the disappearing commands. I've thoroughly checked the system, and it appears to be clean. Tag: how to do a registry backup Tag: 247970

My father-in-law has a 5 year old computer and was told by a technician that it is perfectly fine to leave the computer on 24/7 and there will be no risk of damage or other problems resulting from that.

    - Tired of Viruses Ok, here is a new issue for me, but by far the most frustrating. I have run all 3 of my virus programs, all say I'm clean, yet when I go launch my home page (yahoo), it loads for a second, then switches to "about:blank" (some search page virus). What's worse, is when I go to MSN to check my Hotmail, it will let me sign in, see that I have 12 messages there, then quick flash to that "about:blank". I have not been able to get my email in days, nor will it let me get to any "Help" or "Contact us" pages at either MSN or Yahoo. I continually edit the information in the registry to remove any mention of "about:blank", yet even with system restore off, it does not save may changes. Any help offered would be very appreciated, I am so ready to give up and just toss this thing out the window. Tag: how to do a registry backup Tag: 247934

    - Putting Icon on Start Bar RH side What is the right hand side of the Start Bar called? And how does one put an icon on the right hand side where the time, volume control etc are? I've done it several times before but my mind has gone completely blank now. Incidentally, I could just drag and put one on the LH side which is easy. What actually is the difference between the two. I know on the LH side it is only a shortcut while those on the RH side are memory resident. Any into appreciated. As I said, my mind has gone completely blank.

    - power cut during defragmentation I was defragmenting my hard drive using Speed Disk from Norton Utilities 2002 when there was a power cut. When the electricity came back on the computer wouldn't boot to Windows Me, it advised me to start in Safe Mode, and when I try to do this it thinks for a moment then goes straight to "it is now safe for you to turn off your computer. I used the Norton Utilities CD to run Disk Doctor without going into Windows, and it found a few problems, most of which I had had before (missing shortcuts etc.) and I pressed Y to fix these. It also found that the File Allocation Tables didn't match, and I pressed Y to fix them as well. It told me to insert a floppy disc to record the changes it was making. It proceeded to fix the problem but it ran out of space on the floppy disk and tried to back out of the repair. It then had a problem backing out as well. Sorry, but I don't remember what it said exactly, I was getting pretty flustered. I ran Disk Doctor again and it found thousands of lost chains (or something like that). Now, when I switch the computer on I am told that I have got an invalid system disk. I'm sorry I am not very clear, I realize now I should have written everything down. I hope that someone has the time to work out what I mean. There are some pictures on the computer that I don't want to lose. My computer is made by Dell, it has nearly 100GB hard drive which was about 30% full. Tag: how to do a registry backup Tag: 247853

    - missing network, system icons from Control Panel These two controls suddenly stopped working - double click yielded nothing. Following instructions I found in the MS knowledge base, I renamed the netcpl.cpl and sysdm.cpl files. This caused the icons to disappear. So far, so good. I used the system config tool to extract these two files from the CABs on the hard disk (in SAFE mode as the instructions again required). I then moved the files to the \windows\system folder and rebooted in normal mode. No new icons. In a command window I tried control netcpl.cpl and get nothing, same for the sysdm.cpl control. Other controls work correctly when executed from the command line. I checked the control.ini file and these two controls are not in the "Do not run" section. I've run out of ideas and have found nothing more on the net. For what it's worth, my networking is still working, at least for now. Tag: how to do a registry backup Tag: 247821

This is done automatically each day the first time you boot your PC by the
scanregw command in MSConfig | Startup. If you wish to make another backup
you may do so by running SCANREG /BACKUP from a DOS prompt. Either by
booting to DOS using a floppy or from a DOS window under Win Me.

See MS KB184023 - "Command-Line Switches for the Registry Checker Tool"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=184023).
