We have an old Gateway PC that was upgraded to Windows ME a few years ago. The machine has 384MB of RAM, and a P2 450Mhz Pentium processor. A few weeks ago, I noticed that when browsing thru the Start menu programs, the lists will open up lighting quick. Faster than they should be. It makes it...

Thank you George and Heather for your responses!!! (For other people in the NG, this had to do with not seeing any new messages since last Friday 12/8/2006, nor being able to post my own messages) I just followed George's instructions on right clicking microsoft.public.windowsme.general On "Local...

Does anyone know where I can get some updates for Windows Me, Internet Explorer 5 and Windows Media Player? My system crashed and I had to re-install. Thanks. 920Jeff

After uninstalling Sygate and installing EZ Firewall, gmail keeps trying but can't finish loading. I don't get any messages from my firewall and it worked perfectly before. Is there a remedy? Harry.

I am trying to upgrade a computer that has WinME on it, to XP Home. The problem is, ME won't load, so I am stuck trying to install XP over a faulty ME system. (I thought the XP cd would "fix" this problem, but it isn't appearing to. I tried installing XP, but after the XP initially copies the files...

I never thought it would happen to me but somehow several adware programs have infiltrated my ME machine. Too many to recite here, but they came from running a Yahoo music program, I believe. I have run Ad-Aware 6 Personal build 6.181 and Spybot. Both have been updated to their limits and did...

Could someone please lead me to the solution on the cross posted message below? "A couple of weeks ago I went into the Network places on Me, and instead of clicking what I thought was the close button (wasn't paying too much attention to what I clicked), I guess I clicked the button that put...

Previous dialogue in Outlook Express section. I get "error opening message" and address book not found. Followed through http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/reinME.htm Win Me seems to update OK but incomplete install on IE, also OE problems remain. No obvious problems shown by Belarc. Not clear in...

Forwarded via crosspost to WinME General and OE6 newsgroups for various reasons. eg 5. After learning that IE 6 is more secure than IE 5.5, and after much searching, I located a free downloadable copy of IE 6 and OE at http://www.windowsdownloads.com/. I downloaded a setup.exe file that,...

I just got rid of an error message ( winupd.dll file failed to load)by following Mike instructions, now my scan disk and defragmenter will only start and stops quickly thereafter. Randy

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but whenever I am trying to save a file to a location other than the default, my machine crawls along, ever so slowly. You know, when I am using that little window that opens when I download from a website, or when I am recording a CD to a location,...

the restore did not work... I rebooted with the start-up floppy, then chose the command prompt, the cd to c\windows\command, then did the restore... it said it was successful yet still there was no Windows. I can look at the windows directory from dos and all my files are still there I'm just...

All the best, Joan. Have a good one! Mart

I could use some advice on what is a good anti-virus protection tool for ME. I just did a complete reinstall of Windows ME and got rid of Freedom Anti-Virus which was free from my former internet provider Adelphia. I had a number of problems with my computer that seem to start when I...

When I try to opem Outlook Express, I get two error messages: "Outlook Express could not be started. The application was unable to open the Outlook Express message store. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full. Contact Microsoft suuport for further...

i'm trying to load windows me, but when i get to the "checking installed components" i get a su0410 error - c:\wininsto400\msdxwin.inf missing/damaged or not enough memory. 1) What is this file? how can i re-install it from my windows 98 cd 2) when it says not enough memory does it mean memory on...

At the risk of sounding like those I long chided for interminably posting definition update notifications (like if you don't get them today you'll be infected tomorrow!), seeing as how many Win Me users seemed to find Spybot S&D 1.6.0 problematic with that OS...well, apart from the fact I found...

My computer, running WinXP Pro with 128 MB RAM, today has started acting very strange. Although normally it has to be double-clicked to open a file or folder, now it sometimes opens files/folders/e-mail with only one mouse click, not two. However, it is very inconsistent, sometimes requiring...
