    - Conflict: Classical Solitaire & NSW 2004 Pro I have just installed Norton SystemWorks 2004 Professional and Norton Personal Firewall 2004 over their corresponding 2003 versions (according to Symantec's instructions). All seemingly went well. However, I find that ME's Classical Solitaire no longer functions (other games seem OK). Using Ctrl+Alt+Delete to remove the program "Csinject" allows Classical Solitaire to function normally. Although Csinject existed in previous NSW versions, this problem did not occur. Symantec recommends disabling Csinject whenever I wish to play solitaire!!! Does anyone have a reasonable solution to this problem? Tag: winme and cmdninst Tag: 213904

    - Address Book I was attempting to use the address book that comes with the accesories group under windows ME. to do a mail merge. I attempted that manuever and was told I could not use it to do a mail merge. When I cancelled the transaction, my entire "contacts" directory was somehow lost. When I quit word and simply went to the address book, it showed an old contacts list which I was sure I deleted. I thought maybe my valid list was somehow tossed into the re-cycle bin, but no, it's not there either. HELP, any suggestions? Tag: winme and cmdninst Tag: 213891

    - SEARCH- For Files and Folders Windows ME. There were several postings (including mine) from people for whom Start -Search- For Files and Folders does not work. Goggle search I did this morning produced this: http://www.assistivecomputers.com/helpfiles/Search%20for%20Files.htm Well. It works. I further found that you can go to ANY folder in Windows Explorer (Does not have to be MY Documents) , press F3 and Search dialogue comes on. You can also go to MyComputer ( icon on Desktop) - press F3 and the search dialogue comes on (and works). The only place F3 does not work for me is Desktop. Question to the experts: what stops it from working from Start- Search? Note : Several responses suggested to tick Tweak UI - Desktop- Search Results. It does not work for me. Are there different versions of Twaek UI? MikeA Tag: winme and cmdninst Tag: 213889

    - automatic windows update I am running windows ME and microsoft is sending me to their update site when i connect to internet. due to all the virus Emails I am getting I want to personalize the update site settings but am unable to do so. I have followed all the instructions to do this; changed internet options in miscellaneuos to enable and have deleted the oWindowsupdate file that was in C\windows\ApplicationData\microsoft\Internet etc. however can still not personalize the update site. i want to be able to see what has been installed and what there is to install and make my own choices. I do like the update site just saying that there is an update and do i want to install. this is not good enough, I want to know exactly what the update is and why i need it and what it does. I am not running anything Norton or anything that should prevent me from personalizing as far as I know. Help would be appreciated. Thank you Tag: winme and cmdninst Tag: 213868

    - URGENT : Recycle Bin Problem Hi there, can someone please help with a Recycle Bin problem ? The problem is that when I send something to the Recycle Bin (as I always have done), when I then look in the "Recucle Bin" either using Windows Explorer or the Recycle Bin Icon on the Desktop nothing is there ! The Recycle Bin Icon shows that there IS something in the bin (i.e. "litter" is shown in it). On the "Properties" for Recycle Bin I have the "Display delete confirmation dialog" ticked. Windows explorer sees file in all the other location as normal. I have not altered anything lately but when I deleted by accident a file last night I realised I could not retrieve it in the usual way. I have been emptying the recycle bin from the Desktop icon, so I do not know how long this problem has been there. I really need to retrieve the file, so I dare not empty the recycle bin now ! Please help me ! Many Thanks, Steve Tag: winme and cmdninst Tag: 213858

    - C-Nile virus. Please is this a virus C-Nile sounds or just a hoax Copy of E-mail I received For reasons I cannot fathom, Tim Coldwell, who lives in Le Touquet, has sent the following virus warning. It is, apparently, untreatable even by the most advanced software from Norton or McAfee and seems to strike people born before 1970. Symptoms include the following: It causes you to send the same e-mail twice. It causes you to send a blank e-mail. It causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. It causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. It causes you to forget to attach the attachment. It causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. It causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND". It causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE". It's called the C-Nile virus. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - Restore file infected I have been plagued with that W32/Swen.A@mm virus, and Norton's can only quarantine the infected files. One of the quarantined files is C:\-RESTORE\temp\A0000165.cpy. Does the word, temp, mean that it is just a temporary file and not my REAL Restore file. I have disconnected the Restore function, but eventually, I would like to have that program available. I was interested that Norton's showed the words "you are still infected" even tho the files are quarantine. I guess I just wait until a solution is found to Repair. Can't I just delete these files somehow? They all are SPAM to my Inbox that I didn't realize were not a legitimate Microsoft message. Tag: winme and cmdninst Tag: 213824

    - Security Update Having a problem with the Security Updates for Windows ME. I downloaded the Security Update -- the one that needed to be installed by itself. The file downloaded properly but when the system restarted, it gave a message that it didn't really install. I can't remember the exact message. I did it again and I got the same message. Did anyone ever get stuck like that? Would a hard boot fix this problem? I am not in the same location now as the computer I had this problem with. Just for background, I had just scanned the disk, defragmented, got rid of all the temp and temp Internet files, installed new Anti-Virus software. Everything was working well. That's when I decided to see if there were any critical updates....and then! Any help would be appreciated. Mary Tag: winme and cmdninst Tag: 213797

    - DirextX 9b Is this the right forum? I have updated two PCs running Win ME to DirectX 9b. PC (a) is Athlon 1GHz, NVidia TNT2 32MB, 256 RAM (133) and works fine. Pc (b) is AthlonXP 1.8GHz, NVidia GeforceII 64Mb, 256 RAM (233 DDR). I have updated to the 45.23 driver on both but PC (b) fails the Direct 3D tests. I have "downgraded" the driver to the WHQL signed version from MSoft but this is many versions out of date. Before updating to DX9 version 43.45 of the NVidia driver worked fine (DX8.1)on both m/cs. With this combination and running Grand Prix 4 on both, on the slower PC the game runs much faster with a much higher resolution than is possible on the faster, more powerful machine.

Hi,
I am new to ME. I changed my video adapter and when rebooting my
firewall(kerio) was asking permision for cmdninst to access ip
81.52.249.46 port 80. I looked this IP up and see that it is owned by
the RIPE Network. I have alway blocked this IP range in my spam
filters for email as it is notorius for spam origins. Why would
cmdnisnt be looking to converse with this server? Should I allow or
disallow this conversation? why?
Thanks,

Hi Joe,
This was outgoing not incomming. cmdninst.exe was asking to connect
to
81.52.249.46 port 80. I believe cmdnisnt is a microsoft program that
is involved in the installation of new devices and drivers. My
question is why would cmdninst want to connect to ripe network and not
microsoft.com? Should
I allow or disallow this conversation? why?
