    - Windows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2 %1:%2 I go to the windows update page, I download critical updages. When I restart the computer, I get error Windows could not upgrade the file %1 from %2 %1:%2. Windows could not upgrade one or more system files before starting. Windows may not start or run properly. I am able to reboot, but when I go back to windows update site, it says I still need the critical updates. I try again and again, but am never able to get them... I am able to update my antivirus software and other programs, just not Me critical updates. I found the Microsoft web page that says the solution is to find the Wininit.ini and rename to Wininit.old and restart. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;283069 I do not have Wininit.ini. I have told my computer to show hidden files, Wininit.ini is still not found. Tag: word Tag: 201619

    - Device Manager For as few days now, Device Manager when opened has started the dial up connection, today I let it complete the connection & then clicked ok, it doesn't now want to connect to the internet any more, I wonder what it downloaded, whatever it was it took less than a second. Something in Device Manager must have been missing or out of date. Mike. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

    - WindowsME constantly crashing: details Hi Firstly, i am very sorry for this lengthy posting but I dont think anyone will be able to help without considerable detail. A friend has asked me to reinstall Windows ME on his computer following someone trying to put a copy of Windows XP on it. Obviously that was never going to work because of the protection Microsoft have put in XP (use on one computer only). So this totaly messed up his computer. Previously his Windows ME worked OK. So he asked me to re-install his Windows ME. I have installed ME many times without any problems. This time I have a major problem with Windows ME constantly crashing on his computer. I have done a "clean" install after re-formating the C: drive, to get rid of all the XP etc. Sometimes Windows ME works OK for several hours. Other times I get a whole variety of error messages and sometimes it locks on the destop after a short period of inactivity. Following a restart and scandisk it may restart OK but on occasions it wont even start in Safe Mode. I have to use my start up disk and use scanreg /restore and once I am back in Windows sometimes I then need to use Restore (fortunately I have set up several handy restore points). Basically it is very very unstable. I have read as much as i can find on the Microsoft Database and I have tried reducing hardware acceleration. Also I have tested my memory with DocMemory which tests OK. I have re-installed it several times. The problems occur immediately after installation. I have d/l and installed all the microsoft updates. I have very little running on startup.

You may need to run the Windows Setup program again. If the file is included in another software package, you may need to reinstall the software that uses the file.

The problem is that when I DO press a key, the same thing happens and it wont let me actually access anything. The second problem is I don't know what the VTD stands for.

    - Win Media Player 9 and Codecs I downloaded a movie with an .avi extension and tried to play it in WMP9. It started looking for codecs and came back in error stating: "Class not registered" I sought help here and got a response with two links to go to that should help. I tried the first link which told me to identify the codec that's missing. This info isn't listed anywhere in my error box. So I tried the second link. O.K.....I did what I was told to do and everything listed at the site I was directed to. The second link said to reinstall WMP9 over existing one. I reinstalled WMP9 and nothing happened, It also said to open the file in "mplayer.exe" to find out what codec is missing instead, it gave me a message stating: "MMSYSTEM006 There is no driver installed on this system". What does this mean and where is this driver it speaks about? Thanks! So in my response to this question....I was told to look in my DXDIAG file. But I wasn't told what to look for.

    - not sure what the problem is I have Internet Explorer 6 on my computer. It is difficult to connect if my computer has been inactive for a while. You have to either shut down the computer and wait a minute or two and then try to connect or restart the computer. Then you can keep an internet connection for about 30 minutes sometimes more sometimes less. I have had my phone lines tested and they are fine. I have called my ISP for tech support and they say it's not them with the problem maybe its me. What would be causing this? I can only get a good fast internet connection if I shut down or restart my computer. Then if it slows down and bumps me off if I restart/shut down my computer and reconnect I get a good connection. What would cause that? Thank you very much. If you need anymore info feel free to ask. Thanks again for your help. Tag: word Tag: 201453

    - What is MPREXE.exe ? I just installed Norton Personal Firewall on PC with Windows ME and have RoadRunner internet service (cable modem). A security alert has popped up about 20 times now for MPREXE.exe trying to access IP addresses on the internet on port 137. Each time I set a rule to block access to that specific program and IP address. After about 20 times of blocking access, each to a different IP address, I set a rule to block all access to all IP addresses and all ports. I did a reverse IP address lookup for some of the addresses and found some in the U.S. and one in Korea (I didn't recognize any of the site names and didn't go to any of them). MPREXE.exe is a small (28k) program file in the c:\windows\system32 folder. Does anyone know what it is and why it wants so much access to the internet?
