I seem to be accumulating an excessive number of Restore points. My Restore space was flushed and its limit set to 200 MB about 7 months ago and it's already using 658 MB of disk space containing 283 files. During the past 5 months it seems to be growing at a little over 100 MB per month. I've...

I tried to run system restore but there were no check points. Also the calendar only goes back to Oct 1. The message box says there are currently no restore points available. Belarc shows the file 290700 is installed. I did this a long time ago and have not re-downloaded it. It was ok a week ago....

I just reinstalled option #3, for the Windows Me, Restoration Disk, which only reinstalls all of Windows Me's files. Because I've had problems with the SUWIN file in the past, I both changed wmploc.dll to wmploc.old, and returned IE 6.* to IE 5.5. Did the restoration so that I could use...

I am repeating my question in a different format. Under "File" the SendTO option with all of its links has disappeared and only Send still exists with these three links: Page by E-Mail, Link by E-Mail and Shortcut to Desktop. Right or left click, they are all dead ends, because nothing happens...

Hi; About 2 weeks ago, while dl'ing new defs for Spybot S&D, a newer version of Spybot began to self-install. Without thinking (which is the cause of most of my problems!), I let it proceed. Halfway thru, it choked. I dl'ed the new version and successfully installed it but it brought my system...

A new problem has cropped up on Internet Explorer. It used to be that whenever I came to a site that must be read with Adobe or Acrobat Reader this program would automatically pop up within the IE window. However, since I upgraded to Adobe Reader 6 I get an error message saying that Reader...

This just in Shane: David Beckenham and Posh Spice are coming to America, with Beckenham getting the most lucrative contract for a player in this category ever. You may know this already, but in case you don't, you might want to. This isn't exactly WinME related, but still news to some. Let me...

After installing a second hard drive, the search function in the start menu no longer works. It does not even open up to show file search options. Perhaps a registry entry is corrupted or missing? How can I restore this function without doing a system restore?

Hi Mart I ran Samsung's proggy on C and it showed four errors before it stopped checking with only 6% of the drive done. I ran it three times in all, once getting as far as 27% before it stopped dead in its tracks (arrow keys or "exit" didn't work so I "reset"). I ran the utility on D also...

I clean-installed Windows ME on an 18.6 GB hard drive and am missing the Windows Update Setup Files, why? Will running setup again fix it, or what other options do I have to retrieve those files? Windows Update is in my startup menu and I was able to run Windows Update completely. Does 'HXFSETUP'...

I'm running Windows 2000 and would like to be able to view my full programs list without delay when I go to startprograms. I've been able to "always show full menus" in MS programs such as word and excel but I would like to also be able to do so through the start menu under programs. Could...
