Reinstall
Mine was an ME upgrade from Win 98 SE. Since I now wish to do a clean
install, could the upgrade disk be used for a solely ME install without the
98SE? If yes, will it have the full features of a regular ME retail version?

Modem
I bought a new Dell PC, and when I dial up to Internet, it
keeps kicking me off. I called Dell and Microsoft, and
did tests on my modem, but they said the modem was OK.
It's not my phone line because I surfed fine with my old
PC. Any suggestions? Tag: turning on pc Tag: 222170
Modem problem persists
Noel-
I followed your recipe, but still no luck.
From the Install New Modem screen: "Windows will now try to detect your
modem"
Then- "Windows did not find any new modems attached to your computer"
"To select your modem from a list, click Next"
I selected, in turn, each of the listed 56K modems from the list, but none
would install
...Suggestions ?

Size of Windows folder
I am considering a backup scheme which involves partitioning and disk
imaging. I would like my C: partition to contain Windows ME and as
little else as possible. I would like to be able to burn a compressed
image of my C: partition to a single CD-R.
The size of my Windows Folder is 1.33 GB. I believe this size is quite
a bit larger than it should be. Can someone please help me figure out
why it is this large?
I got my PC in October 2000. It came with a load of preinstalled
applications, mainly Microsoft Works Suite 2000, NAV, and Roxio ECDC.
I've added very little (Acrobat Reader, Real Player, and a few other
things).
Here are sizes of the subfolders which I believe are most susceptible
to growth:
Application Data 27.7 MB
Cookies 10.8 MB
Temp 33.8 MB
TIF 298 MB
(Using the settings in IE6, I have TIF limited to 63 MB. I don't
understand why my TIF subfolder is 298 MB).
Microsoft Disk Cleanup sees only 74 MB which it can free.
My Recycle Bin has 97 MB space reserved (if this is pertinent).
My PC: 64 MB RAM; 10 GB HDD.
I believe it is possible for the Windows Folder in WinME to be as
small as 800 MB. Why is mine 1.33 GB? Tag: turning on pc Tag: 222137
