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). The A7N8X Deluxe Rev 2 with 400 MHz FSB (Rev 1 is 333FSB) with an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ is actually the fastest Socket A chip they made. 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…

Right click:"Arrange Icons by date" Question
by Guest vm12- 0 replies
- 273 views
In windows Explorer you can add 'Date Created' column by going to View/choose column/date created. Arranging by Date created will always sort the files date and time order, so that the earliest file appears first and the latest file appears last; You can also arrange files in date order by right clicking on a blank space in the folder and selecting Arrange Icons 'By Date' Also note: that is the same function that is available when you want to select files in WMP or any other application that calls on the "open folder" or "open files" dialogue box. Arrange Icons 'By Date' acts differently to sort files by date created! The results are n…

screen images and font distorted
by Guest ckg1971- 3 replies
- 356 views
When I turned on my computer today, the size of desktop screen was distorted--everything---icons, font and screensaver pic all look stretched out width ways. And it is the same with all screens I open--internet explorer, all websites, e-mail etc. I have to keep scrolling over on the internet now to see the full screen because it is all stretched out! I have no idea why this suddenly happened or how to change it back! I would be very grateful for any input.

When the POST first starts, various BIOS settings are displayed. Then the Windows splash screen appears for about five seconds. After that, the remaining portions of the POST appear before the computer gets to the desktop. I may have inadvertently caused this problem when changing various settings by using the FreshUI tweak program. (Not a fault of the program.) Any ideas for removing the splash screen during POST so startup goes faster? Thanks, Ray

wireless on ME
by Guest Nicdig- 19 replies

Hi, I was having trouble with my USB wireless adapter but just found the culprit with the help of Trend net tech support. THe wireless program was showing my network at 100% signal. But would not let me connect to the internet. They suggested I disable my ZOnealarm and AVG free edition and sure enough, I was able to open Internet explorer pages and even type this post. I ENABLED the AVG virus and all good. SO I think the culprit was my firewall (ZA).... So, I am uncomfortable having my firewall disabled. Can anyone recommend a free firewall that is user freindly and perhaps would not interfere with the wireless connection. Maybe I can change settings on my ZA to…

I did that, but now when I got to windows update, it hangs at 0%. It looks like a problem with the script engine/jp or something like that - how can I fix this?

On my friend's ME computer, if she goes to this link http://www.kodakgallery.com/ShareLandingSignin.jsp?Uc=194gz3lp.50w9ljw1&Uy=-sezvvh&Upost_signin=Slideshow.jsp%3Fmode%3Dfromshare&Ux=0 she sees the first photo of a set of four in the slideshow. 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. And sometimes, when she goes to the above link, that smaller photo …

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…

Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this behavior. tks RTS
