System Resource or Windows Protection Error
Since MSN automatically downloaded 8.5 I have been having
intermittant erors with Windows ME. I either get msg that
there are crirically low resources or a Windows protection
error. In case of resources critically low cannot
select "ignore" have to select "close". System then
displays msg that a program has caused an error
in "DIBENG.DLL" which I close out of. Sometimes system
works normal but many times Instant Messenger aborts and
system does not respond normally and must restart computer
to either regain IM or system functionality. Tag: no sound please help Tag: 201480
Win ME, MSN messenger and ie6 errors
I have reformated, reinstalled Windows ME, IE6, MSN6, all necessary drivers
and updated everything necessary. It should be a smooth running PC ! The
fact is I am plagued with ie errors, crashes, freezes and unexpected
reboots. I think MSN is the problem. I deleted messenger and ran the PC for
a day with little or no problems but as soon as i reinstalled it the
problems started again.
Anyone else had the same problem? Anyone out there know of a fix or patch? I
use MSN messenger and netmeeting almost daily and the problems are really
driving me up the wall.

Installed new harddrive, using Partition Magic so I can

new one, neither one will let me get a copy of it.

not sure what the problem is
I have Internet Explorer 6 on my computer. It is
difficult to connect if my computer has been inactive for
a while. You have to either shut down the computer and
wait a minute or two and then try to connect or restart
the computer. Then you can keep an internet connection
for about 30 minutes sometimes more sometimes less. I
have had my phone lines tested and they are fine. I have
called my ISP for tech support and they say it's not them
with the problem maybe its me. What would be causing
this? I can only get a good fast internet connection if I
shut down or restart my computer. Then if it slows down
and bumps me off if I restart/shut down my computer and
reconnect I get a good connection. What would cause that?
Thank you very much. If you need anymore info feel free
to ask. Thanks again for your help. Tag: no sound please help Tag: 201453

O.K.....I did what you said and everything listed at the site you directed

nothing happened, It also said to open the file in "mplayer.exe" to find out
what codec is missing instead, it gave me a message stating: "MMSYSTEM006
There is no driver installed on this system". What does this mean and where

driver it speaks about? Thanks! Tag: no sound please help Tag: 201448
Strange Startup Message
For the past 6 weeks or so I've notice the following
message when booting up (everytime): "Please wait while
setup updates your configuation files". Then the startup
continues and concludes to the normal desktop. And
everything thing seems to run okay after that.
Should I be getting this message on every startup? I
haven't loaded any new programs recently nor downloaded
anything to update any applications.
Does this sound normal to you? Tag: no sound please help Tag: 201441

the IPHLPAPI.DLL file will not open, please locate the

I get the above message when the machine boots up. The
only reference I can finsd so far is related to this

shutting down some of the things in start up with
msconfig until I find the errant program.

Msimn has caused an error in directdb.dll
I keep getting the error message listed in the subject
line whenever I start Outlook Express 6. I have not added
any new hardware or software. System is virus free. If I
reboot my system 5 or 6 times, I can eventually get my
email to download before the error message comes up.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? It's not in the
Knowledge Base. All I found was "msimn has caused a page
fault in direcdb.dll" which only deals with Outlook 5 beta
and importing mail. Not any help.

What is MPREXE.exe ?
I just installed Norton Personal Firewall on PC with Windows ME and have
RoadRunner internet service (cable modem).
A security alert has popped up about 20 times now for MPREXE.exe trying to
access IP addresses on the internet on port 137. Each time I set a rule to
block access to that specific program and IP address. After about 20 times
of blocking access, each to a different IP address, I set a rule to block
all access to all IP addresses and all ports.
I did a reverse IP address lookup for some of the addresses and found some
in the U.S. and one in Korea (I didn't recognize any of the site names and
didn't go to any of them).
MPREXE.exe is a small (28k) program file in the c:\windows\system32 folder.
Does anyone know what it is and why it wants so much access to the internet?
Thanks in advance for your replies,

have two huge files WINDOWS and WINDOWS.000? The

WINDOWS file is taking up over a Gig of space. Can I

Modem for distinctive ring
I am running Windows ME and have WinFaxPro 10.0. WinFax
Pro does not support the distinctive ring feature for some
modems, including the Lucent Win modem that came installed
in my HP 7940.
The easiest solution is to replace the Lucent Win Modem
with one that will support distinctive ring for
WinFaxPro. Symantic gave me a list of modems that don't
work, but not a list of those that do. My question: how
can I know, before buying and installing, that
the modem will work, i.e., that WinFax Pro, in a system
running Windows ME, will support distinctive ring on the
new modem?

Use of Shift Keys with Internet Explorer
Aloha,
This is my 3rd post to the board trying to find some help
with this small problem I have been having with my
computer for about 2 1/2 weeks. It never happened before,
but now, when I have Internet Explorer open and am viewing
a web page, and then I open another window, such as this
window I am typing into now, an email message or just a
simple microsoft word document, as soon as I hit the shift
key, the window minimizes and I am returned to the
Internet Explorer page as my view. So for example, I
opened up the Microsoft newsgroup message board and then
clicked the "post" key to post this message. As soon as I
hit the shift key to try and capitalize a word in this
document, this window minimized and then returned back to
the newsgroup page. If I hit shift again, it does not
bring this window back on top. I have been told to try
cleaning my old keyboard and then to replace my keyboard.
I just purchased a new one today and I still have the same
problem. I was also told to simply reboot my computer to
fix the problem, but that has not helped either. Is there
such a thing as a "hot key" that I am unaware of? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time and Aloha,

Fixing Favorites settings
When I use the Favorites menu (the one located above the
Start) and I select a web page, Internet Explorer is
launched, but instead of taking me to the be page, the
address line has the location on my hard drive where the
web page info is kept, and instead of a webpage, there is
the written code including the URL address.
When I use the Favorites on an IE page, however, (which is
exactly the same to look at), it launches the webpage just
fine.
I assume it is just a setting that needs to be adjusted
that tells the computer to insert the URL and not the the
location on the hard drive, but I have no idea how to do
that.
Also, a related issue (I think) is that many web pages
have links in their menus... For example, MusicMatch (a
music software program) has was to link to its webpage in
the menu... for upgrades and such. But when I click those
links, instead of launching a webpage, I get a blank IE
page with nothing in the address page. The cause of this
problem would seem to be related to the problem above.
I use a Cable modem to access the web. I use IE6.
Can someone out there help me... Please!
