    - Can't delete a folder from the recycle bin The subject pretty well sums it up. The folder is a sub-folder I deleted from the favorites folder, and inside of it was a defunct shortcut. Every time I try to delete it it tells me the shortcut is not valid or something to that effect. I have searched everywhere, even through the registry, for the shortcut name and can't find it. What do I need to do to be able to empty the recycle bin? Thanks in advance for your help. -- Disciple "...

    - Win ME Hangs Windows ME sporadically hangs on start-up. When I select Ctrl/Alt/Delete it indicates that some random program is "not responding" when cancel is selected the system loads normally. I have run Spy Bot S&D, AdAware, AVG, EZ trust thinking that somehow a beastie had got into the system. Nothing has been detected. I can't use System Restore as I don't know when it started as is was only occasionally hanging but it is now becoming more frequent. I have searched various sites for a solution but it is hard to pinpoint because of it's randomness. Any suggestions as to where to look would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    - Can of Worms with shutdown and start up Originally when performing shutdown the computer would hang after all the icons and programs showed a normal shutdown. In order to turn off the machine I would press and hold the start button. Upon starting I receive the new hardware wizard stating that new hardware was found but not naming the device. (No new installation took place) I would press next on the wizard for it to search for software for the "new" hardware. The wizard then states it was unable to locate software. In order to proceed I would choose finish at which time an error message about the SUReg key comes on. Followed by a Kernel32.dll message when I clear the first error message. The computer will continue to boot but I do not have the sound device or modem. Any ideas on what is going on and how to fix? (I hope it isn't a bad hard drive) Tag: reinstalling windows Tag: 212414

    - System Restore I just upgraded to a larger hard drive and copied my old drive to my new. I received an error message when I booted with the new hard drive that stmgr was causing a conflict. I discovered that stmgr is System Restore. I had to disable system restore in msconfig to eliminate the error. Of course, system restore no longer works. I reloaded my WindowsMe and it did not fix the problem. My questions is: How do I remove the list of installed updates in Windows Update because mine is no longer current? I can then download the update to Windows Restore and hopefully fix the problem. Any other suggestions are appreciated. John Tag: reinstalling windows Tag: 212405

    - Failed Security Update #823559 Up until now, I have had no problem obtaining and installing regular automatic Windows Me Security Updates.......until now. I am unable to install #829355. I have tried 30+ times to do this to no avail. I have attempted installations both automatically and manually. Each time I receive a notice informing me that the installation failed and to try again. I continue to receive a reminder on the bottom of my desktop each time I boot up. Does anyone have any clues on how I can over come this problem? I am concerned that I won't receive anyother updates until this one is successfully installed. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Tag: reinstalling windows Tag: 212400

    - Tough problem with Win ME I am helping a friend with his computer. Working fine after I replaced the power supply, but there is a problem. Every time the computer boots up Windows ME boots up OK, and then the Windows ME installer starts installing another copy of the OS. Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill process or a Cancel will stop the installer and the computer works fine until the next time it's booted up, when the Windows ME wants to install itself again. I was told that the installer is located in the MBR and that the only solution is to reformat and reinstall, but that is too drastic, anyone have a better solution? Thanks in advance, Alan Tag: reinstalling windows Tag: 212390

    - Updates That Keep Telling me to Update I cannot remember the patch number of the numerous security patches for my Windows ME. I currently have one that I have downloaded and installed a minimum of three times. But the popup keeps coming back that I need to download the same patch time after time. I've encountered this problem with at least one previous patch. Trying to get help from Microsoft is not successful and it is less that a satisfactory experience. For this reason, and other issues I have with Microsoft, I look forward to the day that another company produces a good substitute O.S. to replace the Microsoft Beauracracy/Money Making Machine. I would appreciate any help offered to clear up this problem, and if somebody passes this message on to Bill Gates, tell him I'd love to talk to him if he has concerns about my negative attitude about Microsoft. Might be time for a wakeup call. Tag: reinstalling windows Tag: 212371
