System Restore has a CreateRestore option?
by Guest Bob- 16 replies
- 681 views
I ask (again) because, IMHO, it doesn't make good sense for it not to and Andy Rathbone, in his books Windows Me for Dummies, describes System Restore as having a CreateRestore point as well as an option to select a prior creation. Our WinME computer, working pretty well for eight years now, has no such option or I sure as he!! can't find it.... Another peculiarity was, at first I could not get the Movie Maker to work with our Sony VX1000 camcorder. I got some support from MS which fixed that. And I found one of the Sony Blue Ray RW DVDs worked well with winME although Sony said it shouldn't. I think a lot of us have seen that kind of good news several t…

Problem reinstalling winME
by Guest mm- 11 replies
- 614 views
Is there something about installing winME that causes it to freeze exactly 10% in to the Copy Files portion of the install. Or is it my harddrive, and what should I do about it? I banged my IBM Thjnkpad 600E laptop really hard, and winME won't start anymore, but DOS will, from a rescue disk**. Whether I should have or not, I ran DOS scandisk for many hours, and until today, kept finding 1 or 2 or 8 clusters that scandisk disabled, although for the last few passes, they were just clusters that it thought ran slow and it expected to fail soon. During all of this, I used a recovery disk to start DOS, and on about 5 occasions then used a legitimate ME update…

New Computer, ME incompatable, XP is only upgrade
by Guest Chronus- 17 replies
- 602 views
In Microsofts great wisdom, they made the XP professional upgrade require windows already be installed. I have a new computer so it started without windows. Not knowing a way around the problem, I installed (or at least tried to) Windows ME. It halts due to a lack of compatable drivers. Restart it and it comes up without the CD (actually DVD) drive. Yes the drive works, its the one Windows ME was installed from. Now I have an extremely limited Windows ME with no way to access the XP professional disk. Anyone know of a work around?

Registry Defragmenters
by Guest O.J. Newman- 22 replies
- 1k views
Hello: There have been a few threads recently on the use of registry cleaners. While some people like them and have not had any bad experiences with them, the consensus seems to be that such tools should be avoided by inexperienced users. I have also seen registry defragmenter utilities available, both as part of commercial software, as well as shareware and freeware. Does the advice to avoid registry cleaners also apply to registry defragmenters - that is to avoid them? Is it best simply to not touch the registry (other than using a tool like System Restore)? Thanks, O.J.

The Problems of Registry Cleaners
by Guest O.J. Newman- 16 replies
- 717 views
Hello: As was discussed in a recent thread here, registry cleaners can do more harm than good. There are 2 recent articles on this topic in the Usenet group "microsoft.public.windowsxp.general" , under the thread subjects of "Which Registry Cleaner" and "reg cleaners". Both reflected the recent postings in this newsgroup to avoid registry cleaners altogether. One post referenced an interesting forum thread at: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 , which discussed the many problems that such utilities can cause. FYI. Cheers, O.J.

I just got an ipod and found out that Windows ME is not compatible with itunes. Is it worth the $100 to upgrade to Windows XP or should I just get a new computer? I mostly use my pc for e-mail and storage of pictures, old files, etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= harassment at. work -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Once I stopped watching television and. listening to the radio at the end of 1990, "they" had to. find other ways of committing abuses. So they took what must be for them a tried. and tested route; they get at you by subversion of those. around you. Since they wouldn't be able to do that with my family or friends, that meant getting at people in the. workplace to be their mouthpieces and do their dirty work for. them. They supplied my employers in Oxford. with details from what was going on in my private life, and what I and other people had said. at my home and accommodation in. Ox…

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= why the security. services? -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= You may ask, why do I think the "they" referred to are. the security services? Is there any evidence that there is a single source, as. opposed to a loosely based. "whispering campaign" amongst many people? Even if there is. a single source, is there any evidence that "they" are professional "buggers" as opposed to amateurs, or perhaps people. working for a privately funded. organization? a) As to the question. of a single source versus something more fragmented; it is quite obvious that there is a single source. from the way the campaign has been carried. ou…

They never show their own faces; they only work through proxies, in the media,. among the. public, and by manipulating people in the workplace. Since they do not declare their. identity there is no evidence to initiate legal action against the security services or anyone else. The only. people you can prosecute are the proxies. and they will deny knowledge of any c…

So I did the things that have been suggested by other people;. I sold my television, stopped listening to the radio and tried to. withdraw away from the sources of abuse as much as possible. I reasoned that they must. have more important things to deal with and that normal people would simply leave me alone. if it were made difficult. for them to continue their harassment.

Despite an absence of its target from the UK for. more than two years, the. echoes of paranoia can still be heard loud and clear from across. the water. When it started in 1990, the only people who knew were those in BBC television who were spying. on my home, and a few radio broadcasters. There were a. few cases of public harassment, but very little compared to the situation that. developed a couple of years later. The list today includes BBC.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= -=. Capital Radio - Chris Tarrant -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-= Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it". from the start. One of the first things I heard in the summer of 1990 was from a Capital DJ who said,. "If he listens to Capital then he can't be all bad" (supportive, you see.. We're not bastards). Much of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so. far away the precise details. have been obliterated by time. No diary was kept of the details,. and although archives if they exist may give pointers, the ambiguity of what broadcasters said would leave that open. to re-interpretation. In spring 1994, Chris Tarrant…

WU v4 for WinMe
by Guest Mart- 19 replies
- 801 views
For those who need to know - and are still interested - the Windows Updates for WinMe are still currently available at the MS WinMe WU site, in spite of being out of Support by some 18 months. Just did a Clean Install (failed HDD) and all 10+ Critical Updates/Service Packs and 45+ WinMe updates (inc. some 34 language fixes) are there. Using broadband, it wasn't very much slower than using the MS Security CD (2004) and all (seemingly) installed in their correct sequence. Let's hope that MS keep them available for a few more years yet. It would be a shame to pull them for the sake of a few hundred MB or so of web space. Have noticed also that the KB art…

Slow XP Computer
by Guest jeremiah wright- 3 replies
- 361 views
Most of us have a slow XP computer. We bought it recently, and have done nothing in the way of keeping it cleaned. We have bigger hard drives, so we store more stuff. And the more stuff we store, the larger the chance is we are getting bogged down. And since we are always deleting files, creating new files, installing software, and uninstalling software, we are going to have some issues where the computer gets overloaded with the data on it, and the result is a slow XP computer. Good news, though! There is a simple fix. But before I tell you about it, let me go over some of the typical solutions you may hear. Update the Windows system: You should do this. But th…

I'm thinking of changing from wired to wireless and would like some clarification from the experts in the NG. Currently I have a Desktop connected by wire in an Office and a laptop connected by wire in another room. A new laptop is replacing the old laptop but because it has 802.11 b,g,n, I'm thinking of going wireless and when I say that I mean the Desktop would probably remained "wired" but the laptop would go wireless. From what I understand I should purchase an "N' Router but these vary significantly in price. So I'm looking for input in terms of what I should be considering. Specifically, we are connected via cable with download speeds up to 8 Mbps. …
