    - Trying to link a Windows 3.11 laptop to a Windows Me desktop We have a dying laptop (running Windows 3.11) that has served us well for the past 8 years. Unfortunately, almost since the beginning, the floppy drive has not worked, which up until now, was fine. But now with the hard drive dying, there's a ton of work stored on that computer that we'd like to save elsewhere. We recently bought a desktop with Windows Me. Is there a way to connect the two computers in such a way to transfer the files on the laptop to the desktop? Someone has already suggested connecting the two - laptop serial port to the desktop parallel port. In fact, they're connected now, but no one wants to recognize the other. Any way to do this? (PLEASE?!) Tag: I think I beat Silj. Tag: 219665

    - Resources and Stability Resource and Stability - I use Windows Me and have 128 MB of RAM. Since my computer was new I have always had problems with using resources and having to reboot. Also, error messages and stability have been an issue. However, resources are my main concern. I have tried all the known fixes, so feel my problem is inherent in my system. Are there upgrades in my hardware that would minimize these problems. For example, would more memory be of help? Thanks, Jerry Tag: I think I beat Silj. Tag: 219654

    - Windows ME screen layout and help When I re-installed Office 2000 recently, I was able to access help and the Help Window would re-size neatly alongside and to the left of the application Window in which I was working. This would enable me to easily glance at Help and the application at the same time Once I exited from Help then the application Window would automatically re-size itself to the original Window with which I was working This functionality has now gone: how do I bring it back?

    - Add/Remove Programs problem Hi, I have a small, but irritating problem. When I go into Control Panel Add/Remove Programs and remove some things it goes through the motions, says it is done, but the program is still on the list. Even after reboot they are still there. When I try to uninstall again, it doesn't do anything but jump back to the top of the list. Are the programs gone or not? How do I get them off the list? Any help would be appreciated.

    - Slow Boot Up, Bad Drive? Sometimes when I power up my Dell 1GHz system running Windows ME, the disk drive is slow to start up. The system hangs for 10 or 20 seconds with the blue Dell Logo screen before going to Windows. Usually the drive then starts up. I can hear the whine. Sometimes I need to power off and on again.

    - shlwapi.dll - deleted file Using a file "cleansing program" I must have deleted a file and error message involving the above reference came up. A friend tired to fix the problem, but now the error message does not come up, but windows does not load. All that is present on my screen is my wallpaper. I may have the deleted file in my recycle bin - but how do I access it. I have a restore date but how do I access it. Do I have to reinstall Windows ME. I understand that if I do I have to delete IE as well. Funny how all this seemed to happen with by last download of IE security patch 3 days ago. Even when I used my cleansing program, I was still able to use my computer - until I rebooted..hmm What is the best avenue to take. I don't want to lose programs and files (video and music)...

    - Hard drive space issue I'm running Windows ME on my HP Pavilion Laptop, which has an 8 GB hard drive. I recently started getting messages about the disk drive running out of room, so started deleting files and programs. It seems each time I delete something the space is immediately sucked up by something else, not sure what. I've run virus scans, clean disk, scan disk and disk defrag. Any ideas? I also noted a large amount of space being taken up by C:\Windows\TEMP...exactly what is this file and can any of it be deleted safely? (It's not Internet temp files, those have been deleted) TIA for any advice! Tag: I think I beat Silj. Tag: 219601

    - System Boot Anomaly Last week I installed the following Windows updates: KB824145 for IE6 SP1 KB825119 for Windows ME and KB828026 for Media Player. Since installing these updates I've been experiencing a number of system anomalies. How about it Microsoft? Are these updates contributing to issues described below? Issue 1: The hyperlinks, e.g., My Documents, My Computer, etc. no longer function from the Start Menu ( see the thread of my post "Loss of Hyperlink Functionality" from 11/19/2003). Removing one of the updates (IE Update Q824145) as suggested by one of the respondents had no effect. Issue 2: For the past two days I haven't had a single clean boot of my computer. The process advances to the stage with a blank blue screen (the desktop background) and hangs. The mouse is useless for little more that running the cursor around on the screen. The only response from the keyboard comes when I press CTRL-ALT-DEL. This invokes a sound from within the machine that makes me think that a rapid-fire mechanical woodpecker (metalpecker?) is attacking the hard drive. The only recourse is to power down. Naturally, on the subsequent reboot ScanDisk is activated (Improper shutdown detected. Checking disk for errors.). Previously I've been able to [CANCEL] / [CLOSE] ScanDisk when I knew that I had not shut down properly and the boot sequence would resume and complete. Now if I try to [CANCEL] / [CLOSE] ScanDisk the system hangs and it's back to a power down/reboot attempt. Fortunately, letting ScanDisk run to completion - over the course of 8 to 12 minutes - results in a resumption of the boot process culminating in a successful reboot. Now the kicker. The reboot issue may not be associated with any of the updates. Examination of C:\SCANDISK.LOG reveled the following: ******************* Microsoft ScanDisk for Windows NOTE: If you use an MS-DOS program to view this file, some of the characters may appear incorrectly. Use a Windows program such as Notepad instead. Log file generated at 09:28 on 11/21/2003. ScanDisk used the following options: Standard test Automatically fix errors Drive Local Disk (C:) contained the following errors: The drive contained an error in its FSInfoSector. Resolution: Repair the error Results: Error was corrected as specified above. ScanDisk found errors on this drive and fixed them all. ------------------- What is FSInfoSector and what's its function? If ScanDisk was able to fix the error why do I continue to have problems? Is the reported 8 to 12 minute ScanDisk time appropriate for an 80 GB hard drive (about 30% full)? Tag: I think I beat Silj.

    - ME shuts down computer When I was using WIN 98 with a different mother board, the program would stop at the shut-off warning screen without actually turning the computer off. With ME and a new mother board, the computer turns itself off. Is this turning the computer off, a function of ME, or the Bios (can't find it there?) or the mother board? Tag: I think I beat Silj.
