Runtime to Terminate
by Guest AAH- 4 replies
- 458 views
I tried to install a freeware utility called BurnAwareFree version. Install process was ok. When I clicked the icon to run the program. The answer is bit funny. I never had it like this before. "Program C:\Windows\msiexec.exe. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way". and it closes down. Any help would be appreciated?

Upgrade nvidia 5200 to nvidia 6200 OC, interested in a hot new intelmob for $100+- ... Ogg, Mike M, and all those still interested I just ran across your conversation thread from July 31, 2007 that is close to a problem I’m having. I upgraded to the Nvidia 5200 several months back and had good results with it for a couple months. Then it began to fail in odd ways so I upgraded it to the BFG Tech version of “Nvidia GeForce 6200 OC.” This works well except if / when my system starts to go to sleep and puts up the screen saver, it will lock up. The only way to get it back is to cycle power. Can someone give me the skinny on how to surmount? I don't even r…

Re: PA Bear...Re: Cant repair IE 6

Re: PA Bear...Re: Cant repair IE 6 Forwarded to WinME General via crosspost. Sounds like WinME was reinstalled without first uninstalling IE6 SP1 when the machine was "refurbished (i.e., /before/ you purchased it). The folks in WinME General newsgroup can help you fix this and get IE6 SP1 installed properly. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Honeysweet wrote: > Hi PA Bear, > Yes, thats what Im saying..in my Start \Programs, I see IE5 and not IE6. > But it wasnt like that when I purchased the machine. > However w…

Re: Free version of Acronis v8

Re: Free version of Acronis v8 OJ: One thank you isn't enough for providing the info to this program, so I am giving you a special thank you with this message. After activating Acronis, I was overwhelmed by the 'beauty' of this utility, in every aspect and only wish to have had access to it sooner. The outstanding feature is the speed at which the image was created, less than 20 minutes for drive C, that's astounding to me. It is understandable to me to offer it for free, because it most likely will lead to purchasing the upgrade. With gratitude, Harry.

Windows Me on a PackardBell EasyNote
by Guest cool_boy- 4 replies
- 430 views
And Microsoft shouldn't have released Windows Me, because it had only a limited shelf life. Maybe if it stayed for a bit longer, and had a SP it would become quite good. I know a lot of people say that Me sucked because of drivers. Well, it may be true, but actually, I have never had any problems with it. It even ran well on a 1996 PC, with a Cyrix processor better than Windows 98. And the PC was designed for Windows 95!!! I'm considering installing Windows Me on a PackardBell EasyNoteR (I have original 2000, Me and XP (OEM), and I plan buying Windows 7 when it is released), will it work on it? Details: Peckard Bell EasyNoteR Processor …

ME...DOS ERROR 4
by Guest uzx- 4 replies
- 407 views
I had been running a Clipper application successfully for the last 18 months. A few days ago I reinstalled ME after formating my hard-disk's C partition. I have 40 Gb HD, partitioned as C and D. The following statements used previously were duly incorporated: Autoexec.bat Clipper = F100 Windows\system.ini [386Enh] PerVMFiles=120 The application now does not run and gives a Dos Error 4. Increasing the Files statement upto 240 made no difference. Installed the application afresh but no success. Any ideas, hints, advise ??

Internet Traffic Blocked

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

Problem with computer freezing while using IE 6
by Guest The Moose- 4 replies
- 407 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 …

index.dat & Temporary Internet Files
by Guest Jake- 4 replies
- 550 views
I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for software or a technique that enables resetting/cleaning the index.dat file from Content.IE5 on WinME I have tried looking at Winfile.exe option but it offers no visual access to 'Temporary Internet Files' folder so that I can rename it - and hence be replaced on Restart ? Is it true that 'smaller is better' regarding index.dat and performance ? Thanks for any help in this matter Jake

Thumbnail view doesn't work anymore - Win ME
by Guest HLNewbie@yahoo.com- 4 replies
- 388 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.

If she then clicks on View Slideshow, the same photo, but larger, will (usually) appear. If she clicks on the right-pointing arrow (to the right of Play), photo 2 appears. Click on the same arrow again, and nothing happens - no photo 3. Clicking on the left-pointing arrow does NOT take her back to photo 1 - she's hung up at photo 2.

DOS Data
by Guest Corday- 3 replies
- 462 views
This might be of some use to someone. If you can't transmit or Sync data to and from an external device, while using a DOS program in Windows, and you're sure the cable is hooked up to the com/port and secure, try this. Go into "true command prompt". This is not the one in Accessaries. You need Windows completly closed. In '98 it's a shut down option. In ME, open in Safe Mode, then Accessaries, MS DOS Prompt. Make sure everything is set to be compatible (bits, parody, transfer speed etc.). Voila! Your old reliable (Casio Boss?) still has some miles left. -- Corday
