A few days my windows ME went down leaving my computer unusable. I've been told that it was probably a virus. I have used my start-up disk and proceeded to re-install ME. After about 65% of copying of files it stopped giving me a SUWIN error and said I could close or ignore. It didn't give me...

I have ME on my Gateway computer and for the last few months the computer only starts without freezing about 10- 15 percent of the time.

Ever since I installed the Nimo Codec Pack, everytime I play a song in Kazaa lite an then close it, it gives a "kazaalite has caused an error in kernel32.dll". But when I uninstall the Nimo Codec Pack, Winamp and Windoes Media Player stop playing video. Any ideas would REALLY be appreciated.

I used Wordpad's Search and Replace on a bunch of input files and now my app is gagging. I've been told it's because Wordpad inserts formatting into the text. Is there any way I can strip out the formatting left by Wordpad. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks in...
