IE Caution = eBay Toolbar + Ssdpsrv
by Guest Bob- 4 replies
- 389 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?

system won't go into low power mode
by Guest Jean- 2 replies
- 322 views
In the last month or so, I've noticed that my computer will no longer go into low power mode (ie, turn off the monitor and turn off the hard drive). If I change the power option settings, the system will respond to my settings thereafter, but if I turn the computer off and reboot, the computer will again fail to comply with my power option settings. I haven't changed or added any software, except I have done the weekly AVG updates. Using the MS Configuration manager, all unnecessary start-up software has always been bypassed. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Jean

ifsmgr.vxd / installing file systems...
by Guest Bob- 0 replies
- 292 views
Anyone had experience interchanging/cobbling together NT file systems or HP file system(s) on NT4s, win9X, winME, NT5, win2K XP etc? Do windows file system managers at some point operate with COM? (I doubt that win95 did but the others might?) I know a little of Partition Magic as I have version (7) which I hear is now OBE. I am hoping to find something I can control from a C/C++ or VB program. Any information along these lines, links and such, would be much appreciated. HTH and Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays

Ripping Audio CD Problems 1 2
by Guest Job- 25 replies
- 1.3k views
I've been trying to find a way/software to rip some CDs. The only thing I've accomplished so far is to get myself wrapped around the axle so tightly that a rabid feeling started coming over me. So.....I unclenched my teeth, wiped the foam from my mouth and decided to come dip into this fountain of knowledge. And yes, I'm probably one of the last five people in the universe that is still using Windows ME (and proud of it podner). Enough frivolity, on to the serious stuff. I have downloaded various programs that advertise they will rip CDs and will work with Windows ME. The programs are: CDex Express Rip WinAmp dBpoweramp Music Converter Exact Audio Cop…

MI5-Persecution: MI5 are Afraid to Admit Theyre Behind the Persecution (26382)
by Guest MI5-Victim@mi5.gov.uk- 14 replies
- 648 views
MI5 are Afraid to Admit They're Behind the Persecution MI5 have issued a formal denial of any involvement in my life to the Security Service Tribunal, as you might expect them to; but, more importantly, the persecutors have never denied that theyre from the Security Service, despite several years of accusations from my corner on usenet and in faxed articles. I am not surprised that the Security Service Tribunal found "no determination in your favour". I am however a little surprised that the persecutors have refused to confirm my identification of them; by doing so, they implicitly admit that my guess was right. "No determination in your favour" says the Secu…

Mail Merge - Blank Labels
by Guest Andy Chivers- 4 replies
- 393 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

How many states have had class action law suits against Microsoft? What exactly were the ISSUES and how much is Microsoft paying out to people who made the deadline to file a claim? Why wasn't I notified until too late in my state?

Do you want to get away from windowsme and windows in general
by Guest llanalott@yahoo.com- 16 replies
- 682 views
I assume that many use ME for simple browsing email and such and would like to upgrade but don't really care to spend money for upgrading or have an older computer or laptop and feel the possibly of slow performance after upgrading would not be worth paying for an upgrade to XP. Well I used ME and XP for that matter for way longer than I wanted or should have and thought this is kind of ridiculous. Simple software installs make ME break, the drivers are no longer updated, there are no new updates, the system will not be updated, it's not supported, people don't make much new software or software updates for it. It always manages to get slower over time for n…

computer freezes
by Guest Dapper Dan- 10 replies
- 588 views
Have this nagging problem in the last month or so where Laptop Me freezes after popup window from Avast notifying detail changes. To be clear, the freeze does not occur with any update. A notification box appears in lower left screen advising of update saying "click here to review update". If I don't click on it, it will disappear in about 5-10 seconds and nothing happens. If and when I click on it, it details the changes but it then freezes when I try to close it. I can run a virus scan without problems but when I go to close the "results" window, it also freezes. Thinking it may have been a corrupt file, I uninstalled and reinstalled Avast but the pro…

Hi All, I am trying to help a friend who has a old computer running ME. He can connect to the internet, and can ping domain names, which are resolved ok, but Outlook Express and IE, and FF both will not talk to the net, infact neither will Kaspersky Updater. The modem doesnt seem to go in safe mode, and selective startup with everything turned off but VxD's didnt help either. Tried restore points but they all failed to restore. Have done a full system scan, came up clean. Resintalled DUN too, and that didnt help either!!! Anyone else have any ideas, please!!! Cheers -Al

Specs
by Guest Dapper Dan- 11 replies
- 589 views
I know this is not related to Windows Me, but I value input from the regulars and wondered if you cold provide guidance on replacing our Windows Me laptop. There are so many deals around but I seem to have narrowed our choice down to either; AMD Turion 64 x 2 dual-core TL-58, 1.9 GHz, 200 GB drive, 2 GB RAM with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7159M chipset at $900 Cdn. or Intel Core 2 Duo T5250, 1.5 GHz, 200 GB drive, 2 GB RAM with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS chipset at $950 Cdn. In both cases, a similar DVD is included. On the surface the AMD looks like a better deal because the System Bus is reported at up to 1600 MHz whereas the Intel is 667 MHz. From what I thi…

Tax software for Win 9x/ME
by Guest O.J. Newman- 9 replies
- 827 views
Hello: I have been trying to respond to a request about tax software for Win 9x/ME. While other posts and replies have made it to this newsgroup, my attempts to post replies and new posts about this subject with a recommendation have not worked. So I'm going to try yet again, but with a slightly different approach. Instead of explicitly naming the tax software, I will break the name down into 2 parts to see if this message will post. There is a tax software that still supports Win 9x/ME. Do a Google (or other engine) search for: tax act. This should point you to the correct web site. This software is the #3 tax package behind the 2 more popular names. …

So I decided to to delete it from the TEMP folder, START>%TEMP%.> and deleted all the folders named something like this Axxxxxxx,TMP. After that I try to reboot, it will not go to desktop. The ME logo will appear and htere is a LED indicator light moving L to R. Thats just about as far as it goes. Now how can I get the ME to boot up/work properly as I do not wish to reformat it. Appreciate if someone can help please, thanks

A question on going from ME to XP 1 2
by Guest SSJ04 Mewtwo- 27 replies
- 1.3k views
A while back we tried to get DSL running on this ME box. During the process of installing the modem for some reason or another the modem couldn't find the correct protocols to use to connect. The tech guy they sent out couldn't get the ting to work. Now, here's where XP comes into play. The tech guy told us that if we were to upgrade to XP that the ME network protocols that are missing that would make the modem connect would still be used by XP. I believe the missing protocols were deleted the day that we got Cox high speed internet and that was six years ago. Now, would it be better for me to install ME over the top of itself or get a XP upgrade to fix th…

Thumbnail view doesn't work anymore - Win ME
by Guest HLNewbie@yahoo.com- 4 replies
- 387 views
My Windows ME wont show thumbnails in Explorer anymore after installing an MPEG to WMV converter for YouTube. Either SoftPepper, Aglare, Apex, or SmartSoft seems to be the culprit, I'm not sure which one. I tried uninstalling them all, no luck. I tried the regsvr32 shimgvw.dll, regsvr32 thumbvw.dll etc fixes, none of them worked. Returns error message: LoadLibrary("shimgvw.dll") failed GetLastError returns 0x0000001f. Any suggestions? Thanks.
