    - Shutting down PC After using the computer for about an hour, all programs are closed and I click on the shutdown button the screen goes dark (not completely black) as though it is ready to shutdown. After a few seconds it does go black and shortly thereafter it starts to reboot. The only way I can shut down is to hit the off button as it is ready to start the reboot. This has been happening for quite a few days, would certainly appreciate some help in correcting this problem. Thanks Alex Tag: no wininit.ini file Tag: 199345

I studied all your suggestions, then downloaded and installed StartMan, then used it to check each one of my Startup entries. I disabled at least a dozen of them. Now, when I boot up, my resources show about 65%, 65%, and 85%, or maybe even higher. And everything else seems to be working fine.... Hayford Tag: no wininit.ini file Tag: 199326

    - ATTN: MOW GREEN Mow, Thank you for your reply. I was not able to find the sound files, however, I did choose to redo the media player anyway. Here is my problem now, if you don't mind. It is not on my Add/remove list. Also, when I go to Windows Media site to download it now says "package is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running. Does this make sense? I have ME, and had this exact version (9) installed when everything went haywire. I am at a loss. Can you help me, or would you rather I post this to the public? Thanks again, Heather Tag: no wininit.ini file Tag: 199310

    - Win ME with IE 6 and IE SP1, Freezes System Need help, Windows ME with Internet Explorer 6 with IE SP1 Freezes System. I am using IE6 SP1 and Windows ME on a Toshiba Satellite notebook. I have been to the Microsoft, Toshiba, and Norton Antivirus update sites and have all the latest updates. It only happens when I am on the internet with IE6 and scrolling around the page or clicking a link , and all of a sudden the system freezes. Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work and I have to force a power shut down. The problem seems to be getting worse. It is freezing at least five time a day now. It only freezes the system when online and scrolling pages. Other than when online the system and all my application work fine. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    - startup problems I have been having no end of troubles starting up my system. I have windows ME installed and have had no problems for 2 years. All of a sudden, I can't boot into normal mode. When I boot into Safe mode, I don't get prompted for the Safe Mode Troubleshooter. I've made a boot disk, but can't seem to boot up from it. Can anyone tell me if there is a different way to boot up from a boot disk. I've just been leaving it in the A drive, but it doesn't seem to get picked up at startup. Also, Scandisk doesn't ever complete. In thorough mode, it picks up an error, but says it won't repair it until the scan is complete, but then the scan restarts, and it goes through the same thing again. I need help.

    - ZoneAlarm problem I know this is not a strictly ME problem but here goes. ZoneAlarm refuses to remember the programs which I have allowed my computer access on the internet. Every time I want to go to (say) Outlook Express it asks me for permission. After a reboot it again asks me for permission for the same program. I have tried all the options from the main screen but all it says is tick the box if you want ZA to remember the setting. Thanks in advance Rob Tag: no wininit.ini file Tag: 199118

    - dll file When I occasionally restart my comp I get the error message about a missing dll (xmlparse.dll). When I researched it on google it sounded like it had something to do with aol instant messenger which I recently removed. I'm having no problems that I know of just the box showing up. The article suggested clearing the System Conf Utility box of checkmarks that are associated with AIM. Nothing was there connected to AIM that I could see. Should I just get used to the dialog box or do something else? Stella Tag: no wininit.ini file Tag: 199113
