Need driver help for Win ME.....?
by Guest toonpup- 9 replies
- 603 views
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to help me.......... I'm trying to update my drivers (modem, usb, sound, COM ports). I've been to umpteen sites, and can't figure out which drivers are the right ones for my setup. Microsoft doesn't support my operating system anymore, so I'm stuck looking for the drivers at various other sites. There are a *huge* number of possibilities (or so it seems)...........I just want whichever drivers are the latest, BUT reliable!! I'm using: Windows ME Modem is: PCTEL Platinum V.90 Sound: ESS Allegro PCI Audio (WDM) USB is: 1.something, not 2.0. Can/should/do I upgrade to 2.0? If not, where can I …

System Defrag
by Guest Ed Meza- 8 replies
- 496 views
Hello, I would appreciate a clarification on the following inquiry: What is the difference, if any, while optimizing the system in this fashion: 1) I usually optimize the Win Me system in Safe Mode thru the Maintenance Wizard. Then do a restart. 2) Today, after doing the above, I clicked on My Computer and optimized C disk. I found out that there were lots of gaps and it took just a long time to optimize drive C. Shouldn't the Maintenance Wizard take care of the defrag? Why does drive C show like nothing has been done when defraging thru "My Computer"? I hope that this query makes sense. I seem to recall that some users prefer to defrag via differ…

See old thread: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.windows-me/browse_frm/thread/d6e14c203e3ff2a0?hl=en# Crossposted to: microsoft.public.windowsme.general, alt.windows-me In searching for the fastest main board with certified drivers FOR WinME I found myself drawn to the Asus A7N8X family of Socket A main boards (AMD).

This is "7th generation" 32 bit processing technology, new in 2003. Original CD's even include drivers for SATA drives under WinME. Original CD's for the A7N8X Deluxe main board also have DVD player soft…

I have a cd drive on my computer which is not being recognized by ME. I put the ME disk in the cd drive but it doesn't open because the drive is not listed. How do I get ME to open the drive so that I can update drivers on the computer? Could I be able to put the XP disk in and install it from that drive on that computer? Thanks

Adding to the registry from a disc
by Guest carl5544@aol.co.uk- 8 replies
- 485 views
I recently had to reinstall Windows ME. I had previously backed up the hard disk (by setting it as a slave in another machine and transferring everything to DVDs) and had hoped to restore everything by simply copying everything from the DVDs back onto the same hard disk. But for some reason it wouldn't boot ("invalid system disk" message). So I reinstalled Win ME and used the DVDs to manually put back most of my data. However, there are some registry entries (presets for a photo program) that I need to restore to the new registry but I don't know how to do this. I know how to use regedit to make copies of registry keys from the C drive, but how do I get them f…

TaxCut,TurboTax & Windows ME
by Guest MrTom- 0 replies
- 288 views
Neither TaxCut nor TurboTax for this year's (i.e. for tax year 2007) U.S. tax returns lists Windows ME as meeting the minimum requirements for running the tax preparation software. This is a tad upsetting because the only computer I have runs Windows ME. Perhaps one of the packages actually runs on Windows ME. Has anyone tried the tax prep software (for tax year 2007) on Windows ME? Or should I plan to get a new computer? Tom

slow shutdown in WinME which used to be a quick shutdown
by Guest Vince M- 1 reply
- 344 views
WinME has been treating me well for shutdowns, which would usually happen within 5 seconds after clicking shutdown. Recently, I had a power failure while using WinME, and after I had power again, it went through the regular screens where it runs scandisk, computer shutdown improperly, etc., which completed. But now when I go to normally shutdown this PC, it takes much longer, from 45 seconds to a minute. Is there anyway to make the WinME PC I have shutdown much quicker like it used to shutdown? Thanks!

problem in running DOS program under windows ME
by Guest khanikim@gmail.com- 3 replies
- 355 views
Hi, I have an old DOS program which runs fine in every version of Windows EXCEPT WindowsME !. The error box I get is here : "This program has performad an illegal operation and will be terminated.Quit all programs and then restart your ...." and it also shows under its details button : "The program encountered a general protection exception Fault location 10F0:0138 Interrupts in service: None" Thus, it leads me to believe that WindowsME does not do as good of job translating the FAT 32 stuff into compatible FAT16 calls needed by the DOS program. Is there any cure other than dumping WindowsME and putting a different version on all the new machines? …
