Re: Belarc Advisor When asking about the content of the new updates, I received this answer from Belarc Advisor's support service: "The security definitions update gets only a new security definitions file, describing the Microsoft security update bulletin in details the Advisor can use to see which security updates are missing and apply to your computer." For whatever it's worth and especially the Loom (I had a need to know myself). Obviously WinME and less wouldn't 'have' to be included when updating, since no newer updates are available, but anything beyond Me and upwards would be 'advised' to use the updated version. Hope this doesn't draw any 'frien…

'Allo ME World I'm still trying to recover from a snafu while replacing my Nv GeForce 4 Mx440 with their FX5200. I'm about halfway there - if I'm lucky. If you winME veterans would scan my plan and vette it against your experience, then I would very much appreciate it. Feel free to tell me I don't understand but, while you're at it, please point the way to the light switch.... I got the FX5200 running on a backup drive. Seemed so easy when I had the right stuff at the right time. Problem now is cleaning up the original system drive. I got the Nv driver series off their web. If I a driver cd/floppy came with the fx5200, I lost it. Or maybe that's why it…

Well, another blast of snow here today and an extra foot on the ground. I walked out of my house today and climbed atop of my snowbank and from my new vantage point I can look down and observe the top of Mount Everest... John

Problem with computer freezing while using IE 6
by Guest The Moose- 4 replies
- 386 views
This is making me nuts. I can't figure out what is causing this behavior. I have Windows ME (fully patched and updated). I have an old NetVista 2276 (which, I think, is known for freezing problems). Mostly, it locks up (or freezes) when I am using Internet Explorer 6 (fully patched and updated) and loading some heavily graphic site like Mapquest or Google Maps or Webshots. I have a different harddrive than the one originally installed (so it's a used hardrive installed about two weeks ago). I have a different version of Windows ME. The original one (OEM) got destroyed when the hardrive failed. I've seen this freezing behavior when using Windows ME …

I can't create a startup disc (floppy) after a clean ME re-install. When it gets to 49% a file WINEBDO.400\EBD\IO.SYS won't copy. New disc doesn't help. -- Corday

Several years ago, I recall learning in this NG that Alt+0176 inserted the degree symbol, however I don't recall the background. I don't believe that this come from the Character Map so would appreciate if someone would clarify. I would like to see what other symbols are available using theses codes. Thanks

PC boots in Safe Mode, but no desktop icons
by Guest Jackpine- 7 replies

I am aksking for help on behalf of my friend whose PC is giving him big time trouble. I don't know what he did, but when he tries to reboot normally, a blue screen appears with the message Windows Protection Error. He can boot into Safe Mode, but there are no desktop icons, not event the Start icon or clock. Nothing except his wallpaper. Can he do a Windows ME repair installation? What else can he try? Without the Start icon, he can't even go into Run, msconfig. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Not all those who wander are lost. J. R. R. Tolkein

New AVG AV 8.0 no longer supports Win 98/ME
by Guest O.J. Newman- 12 replies
- 520 views
Hello: I noticed on another group a message that AVG has just released a new v8.0 of its' anti-virus product. Unfortunately, the new v8.0 does *not* support Win 98/ME - only Win 2K and up. However, at least for the moment, AVG Free v7.5, which does support Win 98/ME, remains available. But at some point, if AVG follows past tradition, AVG Free 7.5 will be replaced with AVG Free v8.0. See: http://www.grisoft.com/ww.product-avg-anti-virus#tba2 and http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/us/frt/0#details . Cheers, O.J.

Daylight Savings Time 1 2 3

I had completely forgot about DST when I reinstalled Windows ME a few months back. Today I downloaded a copy of TZEDIT and went through the procedure of resetting DST, including the last 2 instructions of selecting a different time zone in DATE/TIME (Control Panel) and then reselecting the proper time zone. For some reason, it's not catching. Any ideas?

Is there a means, even third party, to lock the icons on the desktop so they can't be moved or deleted and no new ones can be added? I'm dealing with a user who likes to "play" with the desktop and I keep having to make service calls because things are messed up, duplicated, or missing. - Bill
