Hi, Im tring to get info on reformatting my hard drive. I have an old Compaq Presario 5000t. It has a full version of 98 se and a upgrade version of XP pro on top. My ex was bad on the comp, had a habbit of deleteing things. So, it has 2 versions of both on it. And only has a 10gb hard drive in it. I need to clear the drive and reinstall. Mainly because all the updates have taken all the space. Please help.

Modem & SR problems
by Guest SSJ04 Mewtwo- 13 replies

Hi guys, About three days ago I was able to connect at a bit rate between 49.3-50.6. Later that same day a storm hit and afterwards I'm getting 19.2-21.6 bit rates. Is it possible that the one using the machine at the time didn't unplug the phone line quick and lightning has damaged this modem? It seems that SR isn't making automatic check points. I can create check points but there seems to be no check points created by SR on its own according to the others who use this machine. I ask these questions together because if it's not the modem and if I can't find any check points then I don't think I'll be able to restore it back before the bit rate went dow…

Re: PA Bear...Re: Cant repair IE 6

Re: PA Bear...Re: Cant repair IE 6 Forwarded to WinME General via crosspost. Sounds like WinME was reinstalled without first uninstalling IE6 SP1 when the machine was "refurbished (i.e., /before/ you purchased it). The folks in WinME General newsgroup can help you fix this and get IE6 SP1 installed properly. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Honeysweet wrote: > Hi PA Bear, > Yes, thats what Im saying..in my Start \Programs, I see IE5 and not IE6. > But it wasnt like that when I purchased the machine. > However w…

Disk Cleanup Automatically Deleted Something???
by Guest Fred Mann- 12 replies
- 681 views
Hello, My disk was almost full -- 200mb remaining or so, and disk cleanup popped up after I got a "disk space low" warning. This has happened to me several times and I usually just delete some stuff in my recycle bin. But the last time I got the low disk space message, I clicked "NO" when disk cleanup offered to clear up some space (I was downloading a radio show). Next thing I know, I have 1.25G of freee space. So it looks like something was deleted without my approval. My recycle bin still has over 1G of deleted stuff that I'm on the fence about keeping, and it doesn't look like much is missing from there (I could be wrong). But I was wondering ... is there som…

Free version of Acronis v8 1 2
by Guest O.J. Newman- 26 replies
- 1.6k views
Hello: Here's an item from the Win 98 general newsgroup that may be of interest to some. Acronis True Image v8 supports Win 98 thru XP, including ME. However, while it supports ATA drives, it may not support SATA drives. I'm not sure. It seems to be a multi-step process, to fill out the request in the link below, then to fill out a free registration form, and then to login and download the free version of Acronis v8 from the list of registered software, but it does work.

found : unofficial Win ME ServicePack.. and WMP10 for ME :
by Guest sascha- 15 replies

just found this guys amazing page, http://www.mdgx.com/wme.htm it has a ton of information on all windows os and offers free updates even for now "dead" Windows. Like this one here : a ServicePack for ME which does improve both stability and speed : direct download: http://www.mdgx.com/spx/MESP1.EXE , english ME editions . and a "hacked" XP MediaPlayer 10 (!) for 98SE and ME is to be found there too among so much more., of course all this is not MS authorised and all total unsupported. But this is a way to keep a ME machine a bit longer in use than MS had planned it for us. Note : the page is not my page and I am in no way involved. Enjoy it…
