System Restore
by Guest Dapper Dan- 8 replies
- 544 views
Can anyone enlighten me with respect to how System Restore works. In a Clean Boot environment, I uninstalled Spybot 1.4 and deleted remnants (there were quite a few files and folders remaining). Then downloaded and installed Spybot 1.5 and upon rebooting, I immediately ran into resource problems. I think the problem is related to either me deleting the remnant files after uninstalling V1.4 or the fact that the new version is running in the background. In any event, not finding a way to disable that feature, I elected to run a restore point to yesterday. Upon reboot, I was surprised to see Spybot version 1.5. I had understood that SR does not affect dat…

OT: Vista update
by Guest Heirloom- 12 replies
- 651 views
To those interested, The new notebook with Vista Home Premium is working just fine for my wife. It took quite a while to remove all of the "trial crap" that came installed, but, that is almost complete.....I only need to remove a few file and folder leftovers and do some manual housekeeping in the registry. Overall, she is impressed with the OS and the system. Personally, I like XP better (mainly because I am used to it).....Vista seems to be a bit "AOL'ish" with all the 'eye candy' and has a number of 'nag' messages from the PC Health feature. i.e., it did not recognize the backup I made from Acronis to an external USB HD. Bottom line…

Daylight Savings Time Update for Win ME
by Guest O.J. Newman- 6 replies
- 472 views
Hello: Earlier this week, I downloaded and installed an update from MS to account for the new Daylight Savings Time end date for my Win XP SP2 PC. However, does MS provide such an update for Win ME, now that it is out of support? How can one have Win ME automatically adjust for the new Daylight Savings Time start and end dates? Has anyone come up with a 3rd-party update? Thanks in advance. O.J.

Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000? 1 2
by Guest webster72n- 28 replies
- 1.3k views
Is dual boot for WinME and Win2000 feasible and/or recommendable for the home user? I'm almost certain it is feasible, but is it recommendable also? Ubuntu and WinME don't seem to like each other, at least in my case. Adding Win2000 would give me additional opportunities I would like to have. Any and all comments are welcome, thank you. Harry.

Anybody here old enough (Heirloom?) to remember running CP-M? I used to have a Kaypro with it, and ran WordStar and later Perfect Writer as word processors. When I hit Save on a 30 page document, I could have a couple of cups of coffee before the pages were all saved. Richard,of ages long gone.

Downgrading from Win XP to Win ME?
by Guest O.J. Newman- 14 replies
- 671 views
Hello: The system requirements listed on the Windows ME box are noticeably less than the system requirements listed on the Windows XP SP2 Home Edition box. Also, many software packages that still support both Windows ME and Windows XP list noticeably less systems requirements to run on Windows ME as opposed to running on Windows XP. If I were to downgrade my operating system from Windows XP SP2 Home to Windows ME, would I notice improved performance (speed) in running my PC, as the systems requirements are less? My system main specs are: AMD Athlon XP 2200 CPU 1 GB DDR RAM (the max for this MB) 100 GB HD, 7200 RPM, 2 MB cache. Does anyone hav…

Unofficial Win ME SP1?
by Guest O.J. Newman- 6 replies
- 500 views
Hello: I recently came upon a site that claims to have an "Unofficial" SP1 for Windows ME at http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm#WME. Does anyone know anything about this SP or have any experience with it? Is it worth trying, or am I more likely to get myself into trouble by attempting to install this SP? Also listed are many separate updates, but these may be included as part of the unofficial SP. Again, does anyone know anything about these? Thanks in advance. O.J. P.S. I also seem to recall seeing another unofficial Win ME SP that was a collection of all of the official Win ME updates released by Microsoft. Does anyone know anything about thi…

When trying to access Microsoft Works, version 5.0 on Windows ME, I get a message that reads: "A file is missing so Microsoft Works cannot run. Please reinstall Microsoft Works."

When I try to start up my computer, I get the Dell Logo but after that all I get is the message 'Invalid system disk replace the disk and then press any key. I'm not able to start the computer in the 'Safe' mode or restore it. I've put in the ME Operating CD but that hasn't done any good. There's no CDs in either drive and the floppy drive is empty as well. Does anybody know how to start the computer up? I could really use the help. thanks. -- kk

My Pictures
by Guest Ed Meza- 10 replies
- 581 views
Well, I did it again! I had so many pictures that I opened different folders to identify the places, people, etc. This worked well. However, by mistake *I deleted the My Pictures folder*, which only had a dozen pics. Question is: How do I get the My Pictures folder back where it was? that is: Start|My Documents|My Pictures. I have tried System Restore and have also run the Restoration program. Neither of them worked, since the folder was deleted. Is there a command thru Start|Run to get back the My Pictures Folder (with the camera icon on the envelope)? Or any other way to place that folder back where is supposed to be? Does it really make a difference not to…

Second hand computer reinstall ME
by Guest MrClean- 5 replies

I was given a second hand computer by a local college. Before gifting, they cleared the hard drive and installed Win98 on the laptop. The laptop originally ran ME on it (the original product key and info is posted on the computer), can I use a ME upgrade disk and the original product key to get this computer back to ME? Is there things I should do prior to install?
