Registery problem? by Paul
My system will not start. I power it on and all I get is what looks like a DOS screen and a blinking curser. I can boot from floppy and get to the C drive. I'm not sure what I can do, Im hope I don't have to re-system my machine. Thank you

Good Linux alternative for Windows 9x/ME era computers. by No Alternative
This is a version of linux called u-lite. It is based on ubuntu, so it is completely updatable, and uses the latest programs and browsers easily. It can use the latest youtube and other flash video sites, for instance, because it uses a recent version of adobe flashplayer with a modern gecko based...

[Win Me] Automatic Updates isn't working by \(yet another\) Steve
My problem... Automatic Updates is not working on my system and it had worked before. For about the past few years I've had it turned-off (update manually) but turned it back on a few months ago. I even got the Windows Update for AU (manually). Then I started to notice that there were critical...

Question by webster72n
When I turned on my ME machine, the so-called spam message wasn't present at all in OE 6. It only shows up in my Vista Windows Live Mail. Why would that be so? Harry.

Merry Crimbo peeps by Shane[_10_]
Kind of sad how for the last few years this group has been virtually empty Crimbo Day. It used to be almost IM (which I don't use, which maybe made it seem a bit more special? I suppose the appeal of IM is the feedback carrot). I think the microsoft.public.windowsme groups were invigorating...

Can I get the ME install CD to only reformat the C partition, not theD? by Gumby
A recent crash left my old Win ME laptop unbootable. Also, the floppy disk and CD drive are both broken. I understand that it's impossible to reinstall the OS by putting my HD in an external USB box connected to another computer, which would be the easiest solution, as the OS has to install to the...

Router Firewall by Dapper Dan
This is not an OS issue but given my experience with ME's regulars, I thought this would be an appropriate place to obtain a resolution. I have just returned from a 2 week vacation in Hilton Head. I travelled with our laptop and had no trouble accessing the web or using Outlook while en route....

Test Paragraph 4b by Shane[_16_]

Backing it all up by caroloyl
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...
