    - Is there a way to stop Program checking for update Hello All: I have been running on win ME, Int. Explorer vs. 6.01 sp - a licensed version of a Shareware Indexing (file management for Hard drive and removeable media) Program. Within past week when Program is opened - a small screen flashes saying checking for update. Program then shuts down and my monitor goes black with error message: Vwin32(05)T 000012DO Error OE: 0028: CO2AB4A8. I press any key and get back into windows. But Program will not run. Authors of Program will not respond - though their online Registration Agent still is willing to accept licensing money. But, not answer why this is happening. If I discontinue cable connection - Program runs fine. Reinstallation clearly shows registered to me. Everything else on system just fine. Problem only with this paid for Program -which I suspect Author wishes would go away - so they can offer an updated/changed version. . Is there a way to disable the auto checking feature that occurs after attempt is made to open program/ and I am on line (always on - cable connection). bardot Tag: uninstalling windows ME Tag: 211203

    - Network Error I followed a Microsoft help file that told me to choose another registry file so I could start using system restor again. Now when I boot I get several error messages. I am going to work on them one at a time. I think I can take care of the Norton error message by reinstalling. The one that I think I need so I can get back on the internet is the following: Network Error The Support Tuner has encountered a network error. Check the state of the network and try again. I already looked in the microsoft help files and can't find this one. Thanks in advance for your help Tag: uninstalling windows ME Tag: 211189

    - Windows XP Can I install XP Home edition or XP Pro onto a bare hard- drive that has no operating system on it at all? I can't seem to install over the following: Have Windows 95 OEM and the Windows 98 Upgrade, And then Windows ME Upgrade. I can't install. Too many error messages when trying to install XP. Also messages about it leaving out files and or not being able to find files come up when trying to load XP. I try retry loading files, that does not work; So I select skip file; Which leads me to skiping a whole lot of files because it won't or can't load them from the disc. It will load to 100% even though I had to skip files to get it unto 100% But then it won't finalize the installation. It would seem I need to format and install on a clean hard-drive. But I was told I have to have a previous windows operating system on my hard drive before I can install any version of XP. Is that true? Tag: uninstalling windows ME Tag: 211158

    - ME updates screwed my computer I decided to install updates to ME which I have never done before. The last update installed was s system restore update. After that install I restarted my computer and everything had changed. All of my dialog boxes are now very small, also my mouse and all fonts. I tried all kind of changes in display appearances but nothing is changing the box or mouse size. It also changed all my font types everywhere on my computer, so then I tried system restore and the only restore point that is available is what I did today and the system restore is unsuccessful. Any info would be greatly appreciated as I have been playing with this for the last five hours. Thanks Tag: uninstalling windows ME Tag: 211151

    - Help!! ME boot problem I have a Gateway laptop running Me. Yesterday it began having problems booting up. It begins to boot, then gives an error message saying "MSGSRV32 has caused an error in KRNL386.exe, try rebooting your computer." After close the text box, the boot process stops and the computer is hung. A couple days prior Norton Anti-Virus caught a virus, I believe W32.opaserv, which was effecting win.ini and a couple other files. It seemed to fix the problem at the time. I ran a full system virus scan after that & before this problem began. I have also run numerous virus scans and Norton Disk Doctor from the CD since. I also downloaded a fix for that virus from Symantec and ran it w/o any change. I am very frustrated now. I really don't know where the problem is or how to fix it. Can anyone help? I can't even boot in safe mode, but can boot to DOS. Thanks a ton if anyone helps. I'm getting behind in my school work!! Tag: uninstalling windows ME Tag: 211135

    - Me won't boot past wallpaper At the risk of cross-posting, I was informed by MVP Glee to post on this group. PROBLEM: On a customer machine, Dell PIII 128 ram running "ME". When you boot up, it will only go to the Wallpaper and no further. No Task Bar, QL, Clock or Start button... So far this is what I have done: Booted into Safe Mode OK and checked Explorer and everything appears to be there and then attempted a scandisk (no go, says I need to have 2 MB's more space?), so tried to Defrag and same thing. When I was at C: Properties/General Tab, it says 0 used space, 0 free space. In looking farther, when attempted to do this defrag, it says C: does not exist. Hmmm. I went into msconfig and did a selective startup and shut down everything but the necessaries, NO CIGAR on reboot... I am not sure how full this HD is, as it is a customer rig.. Customer says he has much needed data and of course NO BACKUPS ARRRRGGHH..
