    - DW.exe error on startup I am getting a DW.exe error every time I boot up my Windows ME. It says that DW.exe will shut down. This has not really been much of a problem, but now I am trying to install another program and I keep getting an error that says the file can not write to the C: drive. Is this related to the DW.exe error? What is this DW file? What does it do? And how can I fix it? Thanks for your help, Tami Tag: safe mode Tag: 216306

    - Address Book Each time I make a change to Address Book (c:\program files\outlook express\wab.exe\ Version 6.0.2800.1123)and then exit, an icon is written to the desktop whose target is a file, c:\windows\desktop\~\. This icon is written immediately after the address book window closes. The file, ~ , is written and is on the desktop. If you examine this file with notepad, it appears to hold a copy of the information in my address book. Scanning the file with a virus checker yields "No Virus Present". This file appears to be written at various other times like re- starts, etc. I've deleted this file on many instances but it keeps re-appearing. New versions are written each time address book is altered. I would appreciate any info on what this is - what it is part of - why it is present - why it exists.... any of these!!!! Especially - how do I stop it and get rid of the source which is writing it??? HCP Tag: safe mode Tag: 216279

    - Automatic System Restore The automatically updating or creating of new checkpoints doesn't work. It never creates new checkpoints by its self. The manual checkpoint creation and restoration works fine without any problems. Where does the system restore program reside for automatic activation? I don't see it the Scheduled Tasks in the Control Panel pane. If I turn it off via the Control Panel, then I lose all of my manual checkpoints and turning it back on doesn't restore its automatic feature. Tag: safe mode Tag: 216266

    - System slow down Running ME, I can just leave the CPU on and the system slows to a crawl and finally freezes, this make take several hours. One game I play (Strategic Command) seems to hasten this effect, after exiting the game. The mouse pointer hesitates, sounds are slow, all functions (internet connections) degenerate. This happened after a reconfiguration of the HD and subsequent reloading of software and OS. A reboot seems to clear everything up for awhile and then same slow down commences, about 2 hours into running. Any Ideas? Thanks Tag: safe mode Tag: 216227

    - Can't update directx. I recently bought MS Flight Simulator 2002 to install on my HP 6835 running Windows ME. After installing the program and attempting to start Flight Simulator I got the message "Flight Simulator requires DX8a or above. Please reinstall Flight Simulator." I installed DirectX from the disc and when it prompted me to restart my computer I did so, however, windows hung-up during the start with the message "Windows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2 %1: %2." After awhile the computer started up normally however I was still getting the error message from Flight Simulator. I then attempted to download DirectX 9 from the Microsoft web page, but got the same results when restarting. I then went to the Micrsoft Knowlege Base and found Article 283069 which told me to search for wininit.ini and then rename it wininit.old. However, the search came back with no results under either wininit.ini or wininit.old. What do I do now? Tag: safe mode Tag: 216208

    - Reinstalling Windows and IE6 One of my computers(P4/1.7Ghz/256MB) running WinME and IE6/OE6-all up-to-date- was experiencing a considerable number of applications causing multiple errors in <unknown> that I decided to re-install Windows by overwriting from the CD.I've done it before,no problem.This time all went well except I was 'unable to install Java Packages from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\dajava.cab. As a result of this re- installation my original problems have gone and I now have OE6 and,as expected IE5.5,but cannot seem to upgrade IE to IE6.I can download it via Windows Update and the Progress Box says it's installing-very,very slowly-but when that's complete it just stops and progresses no further. with no installation taking place.I would be grateful for any advice and/or help to restore my computer to its former glory.Perhaps it's time to think of XP.
