A recent crash left my old Win ME laptop unbootable. Also, the floppy disk and CD drive are both broken. I understand that it's impossible to reinstall the OS by putting my HD in an external USB box connected to another computer, which would be the easiest solution, as the OS has to install to the C drive, I have read. It seems the only way I can reinstall Win ME would be to put my laptop HD into someone else's laptop, start the installation routine from its working CD, then, after Windows finishes copying files and says it's going to restart the computer, turn the computer off, remove the HD, put it in my laptop, start it up and hopefully the install will r…

Reinstalling Windows ME - How to Proceed?
by Guest Lynn Q- 7 replies
- 3.7k views
Hi there, I have a 10-year-old system which has two hard drives and is otherwise working fine. It's had a few upgrades along the way with more RAM (now up to 200 MB (not up to 256, didn't have enough old-style memory). One CD drive is a CD reader, the other is a CDRW but it's not speedy. I had upgraded the original Windows ME installation to a WinXP Pro. However, due to memory limitations (RAM) and just overall slowness due to the age and technology of this system I wish to revert it back to Windows ME. I would prefer to start over from scratch. I still have all the original hardware disks (CD Burner software, fax modem, etc.) including my original ME …

Hi there, Well, I've successfully re-installed WinMe after I tracked down my back-up disk and run all the critical updates. It's running beautifully after this clean install, and I don't want to mess it up. I've googled and was not very successful, so now I am requesting your assistance. I'm looking for FREE software, i.e., antivirus, antispyware, antiphishing, etc. to run on this 10-year-old system. Anything else I need please let me know on the security side. Thank you! Lynn

I am working on a Windows ME system, that I cannot get to reboot. It is set to immediately scanreg, then has this UPS warning program that comes on. I try to get into msconfig immediately upon reboot but by the time that screen comes up it sends the system into immediate reboot again. I did a scanreg /restore back to a previous date but has not helped. Also went into system.ini from dos prompt and changed shell=explorer.exe to shell=progman.exe. It gets to the progman.exe and just starts to open, send it to an immediate reboot. Do not have system CD for Windows ME, but was able to create the start up disc. Any idea what file I could access from the…

If you are reading this article then you have probably come to the point where your computer has started to show declined performances and possibly become less functional. Unfortunately this will happen to almost every PC user who uses their computer frequently and changes software and hardware over time.There really is nothing more annoying than having a problematic computer which restricts your ability to work or play games and most of the time these problems arise as a result of registry errors. The registry is a database which stores all important information regarding software and hardware related setting in the form of keys. As time passes and your pc beco…

Just a Hello

I haven't stuck my head in here much in a LONG time. (Probably a bit over a year ago.) So, well, I figured I'd stick my head in and say hi. I don't even have an ME image in a VM to play with, I suppose I could set one up but I'm lazy. I'll take this moment in time to remind everyone that Friday is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Anywho... Remember, an appropriately threatened PC is scared and will have fewer errors meaning you have to kick it less often. -- Galen (Not Current MS-MVP) My Geek Site: http://kgiii.info Web Hosting: http://whathostingshould.be "In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backw…

WMP9 beta
by Guest Arturo Seis- 3 replies
- 700 views
It was some years ago now I made a joke when talking with Noel, here, on the subject of WMP series 9 beta, about having ripped Surrealistic Pillow which was being reported as 1000x larger than it was. I said something like not realizing I'd actually downloaded the band itself! The implication being, of course, the code of a Human being in the multi-gigabytes. Well now we have thousand gigabyte HDDs that fit the same bay as back then could (probably) only hold about 60. I only have 160G available (2 of them in a RAID 1 array) though this is plenty for my purposes - more than half of that space is dedicated for backup images (which are themselves duplicated in RA…
