Disk Defragment Error
by Guest schacko- 4 replies
- 391 views
Its been a long time since I defragmented my hard drive. Recently I ran a defragmentation on my drive then an error message came up, and said that Disk Defrag. cannot continue becuase the defragment cannot view certain files. It recommended me to do a ScanDisc. I did it, but when it was so close to being done, it froze and restarted. How can I complete a full ScanDisc (Through) without it freezing or restarting? P.S.- What is the best software to remove unnecessary files and clean the computer of junk and clutter so the computer can run more efficiently? (XP and ME Computer)

Downgrading from Win XP to Win ME?
by Guest O.J. Newman- 14 replies
- 651 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…

Microsoft Works

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." This software was functional and it came pre-installed when I acquired the computer. I do not have a software disc to reinstall it. Any ideas on how to make it work? I have tried system restore and I still get the same message. Thanks, Ed

Unofficial Win ME SP1?
by Guest O.J. Newman- 6 replies

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…

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.

Backing it all up 1 2
by Guest caroloyl- 31 replies
- 1.4k views
Having three C drive failures in just two and a half years requiring me to reinstall and re-set up every program I use (which I'm doing now) makes me wonder if it's possible to copy/backup my entire new C drive to a comparable slave for switching out when this new primary master also goes belly-up down the road. I've replaced enough internal hard drives now to know how to switch them and their jumper pins so the mechanics aren't a problem. But will this duplicating idea work to give me a fresh bootable functioning Windows et al with a minimum of trouble? My thanks in advance for your experience and insight. calamity carol

Moving My Pictures
by Guest caroloyl- 10 replies

Hi Folks I'm always SO glad to find you guys here :-))) I'm still using and loving Me and have had no problems with the OS for ages but have just reinstalled it after yet another C drive failure--my third in two and a half years :-( Maxtors and Samsungs) I've been reinstalling my essential programs and helpers for a week now but before I reup and setup my favorite image handler (PhotoImpact) I thought I'd ask if anyone has ever tried moving My Pictures out of My Documents (where it's buried!) and what the results might have been. I notice that TweakUI offers the option to move it but I'm reluctant to try that without knowing if the default folder-view of …

My Pictures
by Guest Ed Meza- 10 replies

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…
