Sluggishness
I'm on dial-up, and for the past couple of weeks my
internet hasn't been as smooth as it used to be. (I use
the I.E. browser).
For example, if I click the dash to lower a window, it
won't go down smoothly. It goes down a bit slower and
almost in sections.
And when I scroll web pages, they don't scroll smoothly
either. They scroll in "sections."
I'm up to date with Norton and ran it, nothing came up. I
scan disk, but sometimes it doesn't get that far - 2 blue
blocks and that's it. It keeps running but doesn't get
any further then the 2 blue blocks. And the times
it does finish, there's no errors.
The sluggishness does clear up after I reboot, but after a
while it happens all over again after I do something,
such as open my scanning software or after I put an
attachment onto an email (to my hotmail account).
I ran the Resolution Asst. and had it check the memory,
hard drive and CPU. They all checked out.
I even Alt-Ctl-Del and "end tasked" everything besides
I.E. and rebooted. But again, the sluggishness returns
and scan disk still doesn't get far.
I restored defaults in the Internet Options "Advanced"
tab, but that didn't work either.
I don't download music - I don't download anything.
I deleted my cookies and all temp files (I do that weekly
anyway). But still, the 'herky jerky' Internet returns.
However, for the past couple of weeks, I've noticed a
folder, "content i.e. 5," in my temp files. And inside
the folder are "index.dat" files. They can't be delted -
"access file might be in use" huh? - but I can delete the
folder. However, it and the .dat files always returns.
Could that be the problem? If so, how can I make sure they
don't keep coming back?
Thanks. Tag: what is internat? Tag: 199633

WINDOWS ME - MULTIPLE ISSUES
Hi. I have a Pentium III with WIndows ME. The pc is
about 2 years old and my kids use it heavily. Lately,
we're getting a ton of "missing dll" errors, and
the "blue screen of death". And more annoying - we
cannot print from Internet Explorer (version 6). Most of
the internet pages won't even load - error says page not
found.
There's 256mb memory - but when I check system resources
it says that only 35% of that is free - and that's with
no other packages open.
Can anyone recommend how to even start troubleshooting?
Not sure if AOL 8.0 caused any problems - but that won't
even work now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it
won't run - I had to go back to 7.0.
ANY input whatsoever to get me on some sort of a path
would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! Tag: what is internat? Tag: 199601

windows not restarting
The Ctrl+Alt+Del function no longer restarts Windows, just
crashes it; a reset is then necessary. The "Restart"

Windows from this point. A most strange problem! Advice

display and freeze problems
I have two problems :-
The first is that anything which appears on the screen has a dark line or
ghosting across the full width of the screen.
This occurs on desktop and in all programs.
I am running ME with XP installed in a separate partition.
This happens in both.
I tried the monitor, using my own leads, on a different PC and everything
was OK.
I have deleted and re-installed the monitor and display driver but that
didn't help.
The second problem, which seemed to start at the same time, is the PC
freezing randomly and the only way to correct it is switching off/back on.
System restore didn't cure either problem.
I had installed XP to try to cure the problem, since it didn't I decided to
delete this using partition magic.
The computer locked up part way through and I have now lost D drive ( system
restore ) completely.
Before I resort to using the restore disks to start afresh I would be
grateful if anyone had any ideas or advice on the problems.

How to password protect folders locally
I want to be able to password protect the 'my documents'
folder so that if anyone else uses the computer, they
won't have access to them. I haven't been able to find a
way to do this on a local level.
I know that in XP, all you have to do is create multiple
users and they are limited to viewing their own "my
documents" folder unless they have admin privileges. Is
there a way to do this in ME?
I did set up another user, and when using the "my
documents" icon, I cant see anything, but if I view
the "my documents" folder in explorer, then I can see the
other users documents.
I'd be willing to do this any way that would work. I'm
not attached to having a multiple user setup because I am
the main person who uses the pc. Occasionally, however, I
have people do some work on the pc and I don't want them
to have access to sensitive information.
Any help would be great.

.vbs script file problem
I have a bunch of .vbs script files from Billsway and Doug Knox which I use

Char: 1
Error: ActiveX component cannot create object "WScriptShell"

The one file I have used most often (random password generator from
Billsway) works fine, but the others do not. I have downloaded fresh copies
and the results are the same. Updated NAV and Ad-aware scans show nothing.
All the other programs on my computer are running fine, including those
which require Visual Basic Runtime files. No other apparent problems. I
occasionally write little .vbs scripts for reminders and these work fine as
well. I have done some searching in the KB and haven't really found anything
that pertains specifically to my problem and what I have found is pretty
much beyond me. I have discovered that the error "80040154" apparently
refers to "class not registered" and I have found that a newer version of
