    - newdotnet3_23.dll A friend has an old 98 gateway which runs windows 98. They needed help getting it internet ready. Somebody was playing with it before I arrived and somehow came across this error message which pops up with every start- up...Rundll32 has caused an error in newdotnet3_23.dll. Rundll will now close. The computer is new to the person, so I was simply going to use the gateway disks to bring the computer to the original configuration to start it fresh, but the original owner can't find them. I then thought about a reformat, but with a gateway...it has a built in sound and video card. So I am nervous about drivers for them. On top of it all, even with the modem installed properly and is running properly, the computer refuses to log on to the internet. Any help or information is more than helpful.

I hit enter and all there is, is a black screen (not white like this page says: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=289799) This is running on an emachines etower 600is, so there was no Windows Me emergency startup disk included, just their own "restore cd".

    - Wintrim.P virus Got a problem with AVG/Windows/Something... Ran the virus programme mid afternoon today and two virus detected. They were 'Downloader.Wintrim.P' in the C:\windows\system\egdhtm~1.dll file and 'Dialer' in the C:\windows\system\egdial.dll. They were both successfully healed. Ran the virus checker again and came across 'Downloader.Wintrim.P' in the C:\_restore\temp\A0014142.cpy file and 'Dialer' in the C:\_restore\temp\A0014143.cpy. These files were not healed and remain on the system. Tried deleting these files manually to no avail. They did not even show up in Explorer and when I tried to remove the _restore file by changing the attributes it would not let me. Looked on the net and came across how to disable system restore and checked the box in Mycomputer\Properties\Performance\File System. ran AVG again and now I do not appear to have the virus but it did not check the C:\_restore file. I run Windows Me What can I do? Is there a cure? Or a fix somewhere? Cliff --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.553 / Virus Database: 345 - Release Date: 19/12/2003 Tag: startup Tag: 223067

    - Windows ME performance problem this is a huge problem that i simply cannot fix. Basically, whenver the computer feels like it, it begins to freeze for a few seconds and then unfreeze, continuing to do this over and over until shutdown. Shutdown at this point becomes difficult because you can't really use the mouse when this happens. If im typing, it does the same thing. it pauses and pause in like 2-3 second intervals. After restart, the problem goes away but will shortly return. It doesn't matter if i'm connected to the internet or not. Does this make any sense? please respond with your suggestions. I would greatly appreciate it. Mike Tag: startup Tag: 223050

    - Shutting down and restarting computer Hi everyone, I have in the past, received some pretty good suggestions on how to go about fixing problems on my computer from this site. Well,I am now having another problem which is very anoying. Most of the time, when I try to perform a restart on my computer, the system freezes up and I am forced to perform a forced shutdown holding the power switch button untill it shuts down. However,If and when there is a need to perform a re-start, I have discovered that if instead of giving my computer the command to restart, I command it to shut down and then manually restart it, it reboot okay most of the time, but not all the time. In attempting to fix this problem I have re-instaled windows and this has not made any difference. My computer is an 8765C HP and my microsoft updates are up to date. I also seem to be having problems with my modem.It seems to connect only when it feels like it(dial-up connection)and hangs up quite freequently. I wonder if the modem problem could perhaps be associated with the re-start problem? Can somesone help me with this problem? Any suggestions would be greatly aprecated. Thank you in advance, Richard Tag: startup Tag: 223040

hung up in the middle of booting up. Is this a software
problem that I can fix, or should I be more worried about
it being hardware?
