SHW32.DLL FILE
I was attempting to download some toddler software which
said it needed the quick time update to install. I
downloaded the quick time update, then attempted to
install the toddler software, and ended up with this error
message: "SHW32.DLL file corrupt" and instructed me to
reinstall it. Ok, I'm clueless. How do I do that?
Please help--my two year old granddaughter wants her new

_RESTORE file
I just downloaded the AVG antivirus program. The search
turned up a folder known as "C:\RESTORE\TEMP" while
checking the computer. It contains over 48,000 files,
most with something in them. They include 181 files
containing a virus.
Any idea what this folder is?
I run Norton Anti-Virus and believe that all the files I
have been deleteing from Emails and others are lodged in
this folder. If I am correct, can I safely delete all
these files?
I also have a folder under WINDOWS\INF that has over
32,000 files most with 0 bytes in them. Almost all start
with oem, then a number then INF at the end. I was told
to delete thm by another newsgroup and did so on Monday--
5,000 at a time. Today they are all back in the same
folder and won't let me delete them. It says,"Access
denied. The source file may be in use." Any suggestions
what is going wrong?
I'm not to tech literate, so please give good instructions
on suggestion of how to fix these problems.

Ethernet Adpter (KEN20 ISA) 001 not working after Upgradw
Hi,
I recently upgraded from Win 98 to Win ME.
The following error messages appears during booting
time "Kingston Ether RX KNE20 ISA Ethernet Adapter (0001)
not working properly".
I used Device Manager to display detail information about
the driver, there is an exclamation mark at the beginning
of the driver name and also other drivers have the
exclamation mark at the beginning of the name, then I ran
Automatic drive upgrade, the system recognises the current
driver as being good.
Does the exclamation mark at the beginning of the driver
name signal that the driver is not propperly upgraded from
Win 98 to Win ME.
I would like to resolve this issue so I can use my
Internet connection.

Booting up to Dos
Anyone out there know the key(s) to press at boot up to

The DEL button will take you to Bios set up only. Tried
F8, F1 etc etc. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. (there is no boot disk to use to accomplish
this).

cd drive/ dvd-rom
I have recently realized that my computer no longer
recognizes that my DVD-ROM or CD Writer drives even
exist. I have a small icon on the bottom right of my
screen, next to the mouse icon, with a picture of a CD and
a disk drive with a red circle and line through it saying
Adaptec Direct CD Wizard, No supported CD-R/ CD-RW drive!
In hindsight, it has been there for a long time (month or
two?) but I never really thought much about it because
I've not needed to use either of these drives until
today. The DVD-Rom drive will at least open when the
button is pressed, but the CD-Writer drive won't even open
at all! The DVD-Rom drive does nothing when a disk is
inserted into it. Further, when looking in the "My
Computer" section, it no longer even shows the M: or N:
drives as being there anymore. We have had this computer
for several years and have been really happy with it and
have had essentially no problems until now. It has had a
few power outage type shut downs, but is on a power bar.
The only thing I can think of that has recently happened
is that we moved the computer to another room, but I think
that small icon was there before that. Please help me as
I'm frustrated and don't know what to do. My email is as
above, yomcculloch@hotmail.com and my name is Mike
McCulloch. I need to get these drives working again and
would appreciate your help.

Last time I scanned disk it found errors which were fixed. It also found

ScanDisk Don't Work
I have Windows Me. There was an error: the system froze
and the hard drive made a repetitive noise for about 1
minute; afterwards the shutdown could be done. Upon
restart, the "ScanDisk Thorough" started. After a few
hours the system froze. I tried again with no success. For
now, I disabled "ScanDisk" at start-up with "msgonfig",
and the system seems fine.
- What can I do to correct this situation?

cannot be repaired? Tag: WMP 9 wont go full screen Tag: 218534

Shut Down
Up until a few weeks ago when I shut down my computer using
the shut down command on the drop down windows menu, my
computer would close all programs and then the system would
shut down and power off.
In the last couple of weeks, with no change that I am aware
of, the shut down command starts but then the system does
not completely shut down and the screen goes black with a
flashing cursor in left corner of the screen. The CPU will
keep running and it cannot be turned off at the unit and we
have to do a cold boot in order to get it back.
Any assistance with the problem would be appreciated.

Automatic Windows Updates
Today for the first time I got a Windows Icon in my
taskbar, clicked on it and it installed a Windows update
that it had apparently down loaded previously at a time I
was on the Internet. It instructed me to reboot and on
reboot got message to wait while Windows was updated. I
have always logged on to the Windows Update site and
selected the critical updates I wanted, confirming that it
was a valid MS update. Should this be reported as a

Memory dump for data recovery
Is there a way of dumping entire memory in WinME?

ActiveX error
I am trying to "fix" a friends PC. On the desktop, going to start doesn't do
anything. I can't get to any programs. When I try to browse the drive in
windows explorer, I get the following message:
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this
page. As a result, the page may not display correctly."
And it doesn't. I can't see anything. This computer in its current state is
unusable. I went into safe mode to check things out, and nothing appears to
be askew, but obviously there is.
Does anyone have any ideas? Things to try? Thanks in advance for any
help....

The data on the slave drive is changed?
My slave drive has changed all it's folders and files to:
Folders are listed as:
DIR0000
DIR0001
DUIR0002
DIR0003...ETC
Files are listed as:
file00b7.chk
file00b8.chk
file00b9.chk...etc
The type of files are listed as "Recovered File Fragments"
I discovered all this when I tried a MS Back-up.It said so
At one time I remember after a scan session it said errors
could not be fixed because a log could not be written.
Have done a full scan disk and seems ok.
What happened? Can the files be retrieved? How?

Iexplore error in URLMON.DLL and svchost quit program window
I'm experiencing two problems that just appeared within
the past week and may be virus connected.
First, two unwanted websites have managed to display
themselves, without my choosing them or ever having
visited them before. They appear in both my desktop and in
my Favorites list, each time I open the computer and one
of them also appears, automatically, in my Internet
Explorer Address window each time that I access the
Internet Explorer function.
Almost immediately after opening Internet Explorer, a
window pops up saying that "Iexplore has caused an error
in URLMON.DLL and Iexplore will now close." At that point,
the entire Internet Explorer window closes automatically.
The only way I can avoid this is to desktop the home page
that I do prefer and open my IE window that way. I have no
idea where these two sites have come from and how they can
attach, automatically, to my desktop, my Favorites and
become my home page, without my choosing them, as I've
never accessed them, before.
Second, starting four days ago, whenever I attempt to
close my computer, a window appears that is identified
as "svchosts" or "svchostc" and reads, "You must quit this
program before you quit Windows. Click OK to quit the
program and Windows or click Cancel to continue running
the program and Windows." The problem is that when I click
OK, after a few seconds, another window appears to the
effect that the program is not responding, then gives me
the usual three options of Wait, End Task or Cancel, none
of which accomplishes anything. Meanwhile, my computer
freezes and I cannot do anything except return to Start
and commence the entire close down process, again, leading
to the same svchost circular fiasco.
Eventually, I only can close the computer by disconnecting
the power cable. I cannot delete the "svchost" program
because Windows uses it to run.
Any suggestions or solutions would be welcome. Tag: WMP 9 wont go full screen Tag: 218487

attachments in Windows ME?
