Re-installing on laptop with no CD drive
by Guest Alpha- 14 replies
- 1.2k views
We need to re-install Windows 98 SE or ME or 2K-Pro on a laptop that has its CD drive internal connection damaged. The floppy drive works though. We have all the original Windows CDs and a Win98 boot floppy, as well as all the required drivers. The unit originally had Win98 on it that was later upgraded to WinME and subsequently to Win2K-Pro. Can we - take out the hard drive and format it (using appropriate existing adapters) in FAT on another machine and - copy the CD contents and device drivers to an install folder, and - put that drive back into the laptop, and - boot with the Win98 floppy, and - run Setup from the install folder, bypassing the CD drive? …

Registry been changed, now error message, and cannot access regist
by Guest jgl1959- 8 replies
- 915 views
Hi! My Windows ME machine suddenly began posting this error message "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page". The computer will not boot up all the way, and I cannot use the Start button or access files. I googled the error message, and found a fix involving changing the registry key. To get to the registry, I opened the computer in Safe Mode, went to the MS-DOS prompt, and ran REGEDIT. Everything opened up fine, but I cannot open the HKEY_CURRENT_USER line in the registry - it gives me an error message. So my question is, does anyone know another way for me to get into and edit my registry? And i…

The recent comments regarding a 'chili recipe' reminded me of an interview I heard, years ago, of a college student credited with bottling the first gallon of jalapeno chili pepper wine. When asked what it tasted like, he replied: 'It's kinda like drinkin' electricity'! -- Semper Fi

Using Registry Repair Tool To Fix Your Computer 1 2
by Guest jeremiah wright- 28 replies
- 2.2k views
Do you need a Windows registry repair tool for your PC, because you know that there are most probably errors in your computer? I remember looking for cleaner software when my PC started giving me all sorts of problems too. Having top notch software to optimize your computer's performance at all times is essential. 1. What Is The Windows Registry? It is one of the most important components in the entire system, yet many PC users have no idea about what it is! It is not hard to believe though, since we have never been taught about how to properly maintain our registries. All the computer's software, hardware and user profile settings are stored in the registry, m…

.NETframework (again)

- 504 views
I have an application which requires .NETframework 2.0.50727 minimum. Can this be installed on Me? If so where can I get it? I tried installing something from MS (NetFx20SP1_x86.exe) but I get a missing dll warning when I try to install it so it probably isn't made for Me. Amy ideas (other than upgrade the computer)? This computer works better than my Xp computers and I really don't want to mess with it. Thanks, John

What is wrong with WinME? 1 2 3
by Guest letterman@invalid.com- 57 replies
- 3.4k views
I have been running Win98SE since 1998. I have a WinME Cd. I tried it in a spare harddrive. I saw no problems with it, but I only played around with the OS. Never ran any real applications. I have considered upgrading to WinME many times. I strongly dislike Win2000, and XP. Not to mention that my computer is likely too slow to run XP. I am fully satisfied with Win98, so I see no reason to upgrade. However, I know that ME has better USB support and a few other improvements. Yet, I have had many people tell me to avoid WinME. They say it's buggy. What is really wrong with ME? Where are the bugs? Thanks

XP Display Issue With Access 2K
by Guest IC_Clearly- 8 replies
- 927 views
I am running Access 2K on an XP Pro machine. The background color for the switchboard startup screen and all forms/screens are white, not their regular colors. There are many versions of this applications running on at least 50 machines and we have never seen this problem. Further, all reports that display to the screen have a gray background -- not white. When printed to a printer they are okay. I checked the desktop property settings for Windows and they all seem normal. And, this computer is not having problems with any other programs. The only Office program on the machine is Access 2K. Any ideas? Thanks. -- IC

Windows XP Registry Cleaner
by Guest jeremiah wright- 6 replies
- 624 views
If you have a new computer, then you will definitely need a Windows XP registry cleaner. I think the registry itself is not going to need fixing, if you don't ever do anything to your computer. But, once you start installing software, uninstalling software, making shortcuts on your desktop to your favorite programs, and even surfing the internet, you will need a good Windows XP registry cleaner. Let us cover the basics on what the registry files do, and why they are important. The registry files are the files, which tell the computer how a program is supposed to operate. It gives the basic instructions on what the program is suppose to do, and when it is suppose…

In my windows XP pc, I like using the windows fax viewer.... But i dont like the one that is in my other pc that has ME OS. That is because when i want to view a picture, it opens up with 'Image preview" fine; but there is no command for me to move on to the next picture. In order for me to see more pictures, i need to "x" out of them and click on another one...one by one. I have tried to look to see if an arrow is somewhere in the viewer so as to let me go to the next pic by simply clicking on the arrow; but i dont see one. thanks in advance
