Specs

I know this is not related to Windows Me, but I value input from the regulars and wondered if you cold provide guidance on replacing our Windows Me laptop. There are so many deals around but I seem to have narrowed our choice down to either; AMD Turion 64 x 2 dual-core TL-58, 1.9 GHz, 200 GB drive, 2 GB RAM with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7159M chipset at $900 Cdn. or Intel Core 2 Duo T5250, 1.5 GHz, 200 GB drive, 2 GB RAM with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS chipset at $950 Cdn. In both cases, a similar DVD is included. On the surface the AMD looks like a better deal because the System Bus is reported at up to 1600 MHz whereas the Intel is 667 MHz. From what I thi…

Tax software for Win 9x/ME

Hello: I have been trying to respond to a request about tax software for Win 9x/ME. While other posts and replies have made it to this newsgroup, my attempts to post replies and new posts about this subject with a recommendation have not worked. So I'm going to try yet again, but with a slightly different approach. Instead of explicitly naming the tax software, I will break the name down into 2 parts to see if this message will post. There is a tax software that still supports Win 9x/ME. Do a Google (or other engine) search for: tax act. This should point you to the correct web site. This software is the #3 tax package behind the 2 more popular names. …

It was working fine before. Then, I did a scan using Ad-aware 1.06 and deleted what ever it found. One of the items it cannot delete it, something in the TEMP folder. So I decided to to delete it from the TEMP folder, START>%TEMP%.> and deleted all the folders named something like this Axxxxxxx,TMP. After that I try to reboot, it will not go to desktop. The ME logo will appear and htere is a LED indicator light moving L to R. Thats just about as far as it goes. Now how can I get the ME to boot up/work properly as I do not wish to reformat it. Appreciate if someone can help please, thanks

A question on going from ME to XP 1 2
by Guest SSJ04 Mewtwo- 27 replies

A while back we tried to get DSL running on this ME box. During the process of installing the modem for some reason or another the modem couldn't find the correct protocols to use to connect. The tech guy they sent out couldn't get the ting to work. Now, here's where XP comes into play. The tech guy told us that if we were to upgrade to XP that the ME network protocols that are missing that would make the modem connect would still be used by XP. I believe the missing protocols were deleted the day that we got Cox high speed internet and that was six years ago. Now, would it be better for me to install ME over the top of itself or get a XP upgrade to fix th…

Thumbnail view doesn't work anymore - Win ME
by Guest HLNewbie@yahoo.com- 4 replies
- 368 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.

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

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…
