Smitfraud, etc.
by Guest Heather- 4 replies
- 403 views
Hope this gets thru.......but just finished trying to clean up my neighbour's computer after his 20 year old was home for the weekend and left him with Zlob and Smitfraud and a gazillion other things. Do I rightly recall that someone on here said I could not get into Safe Mode with a SATA Drive??? Because I couldn't get into it on his and noticed the SATA stuff. I still think (in my spare time) that I am going to write a Dummy Book for Computer Dummies......a really basic thing which I could call "OK, Now you Have a New Computer.....What's Next". Neighbour didn't know that he had to a) update Spybot; and b) actually scan with it. He had some 24,00…

'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…

display adapter issue
by Guest SSJ04 Mewtwo- 4 replies
- 415 views
I have an ATI rage fury pro/xpert 2000 pro display adaptor, at least that's what the device manager tells me. On occasion, during warm reboots, the machine will lose the display driver during the reboot. It'll get past the Windows's screen and when the desktop is supposed to start loading, the screen is black. Rebooting again will make the system go into the startup menu after the Windows splash screen. It doesn't matter which option you choose because it'll go straight into safe mode. Once it loads the wallpaper the display properties will come up and I can change to high color 16 bit. After the prompt to restart the machine will act fine again and I c…

I have done this without thinking of something until now and here's the story: I am someone that collects used computers and one thing that I've done is took a Windows Millennium edition containing hard drive out of a Dell and installed it into two other Dell computers and I am thinking of installing it in a Gateway computer. The problem here is that I'm asking myself: how do you remove the recent computer's features, settings and the device drivers information out of the registry? Please shed some light on this darkness anyone who has a any info on how I can fix this problem; I'll appreciate it very much.

IE Caution = eBay Toolbar + Ssdpsrv
by Guest Bob- 4 replies
- 391 views
Just a note with a caution about eBay toolbar. I find that blocking Ssdpsrv service to eBay often puts my winME 1.1 GHZ Athlon (Sempron?) into a kernel processing loop which is a real drag on the system. The Process Viewer Application that came ages ago with MS VC 4 will easily kill this eBay service and fix the problem until the next Internet Explorer session is started. I use ie6.0. How can I control what services IE launches?

Mail Merge - Blank Labels
by Guest Andy Chivers- 4 replies
- 394 views
It's that time of year when I look to do all my Christmas card addresses on labels. The last few years it has worked very well. Since then I've obviously downloaded an upgrade - which doesn't seem to work as well. I follow the instructions to the letter. Having selected my addresses, sortted the layout and then clicked on merge, just one address appears on one label - nothing anywhere else. The selected data is there somewhere - if I click the arrow on the merge toolbar, a different contact appears. I just can't get all of the addresses to appear at the same time on the template. Any ideas ? Thanks -- Andy

Network issue
by Guest Tymauk- 4 replies
- 440 views
Hi I have a problem with an old laptop that I want to set up with my wireless broadband connection. The problem that I have (I think) is that I am missing 'My network Places' and also missing the IEEE802.1x network protocol. The wireless USB adapter is a brand new Safecom one and works fine on my other laptop, which has the 2 missing items above, so it rules out the adapter. The adapter finds my connection and links up fine, but I cannot get any web pages. Any ideas?? Many thanks TK

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

Disk Defragment Error
by Guest schacko- 4 replies
- 411 views
Its been a long time since I defragmented my hard drive. Recently I ran a defragmentation on my drive then an error message came up, and said that Disk Defrag. cannot continue becuase the defragment cannot view certain files. It recommended me to do a ScanDisc. I did it, but when it was so close to being done, it froze and restarted. How can I complete a full ScanDisc (Through) without it freezing or restarting? P.S.- What is the best software to remove unnecessary files and clean the computer of junk and clutter so the computer can run more efficiently? (XP and ME Computer)
