Hi Using a 30-month old 1.8GHz/256MB RAM machine running on WinME with Dial-Up internet connection. Starting to have problems establishing a dial-up connection which the ISP claims is not of their making. What happens is that the modem repeatedly fails to make a connection giving predominantly...

I need some help. I am running windows me.. I have a program which was working fine until the latest automatic update. Now it will not start. I called the program maker and they told me to use regsvr32 "C:\program files\common files\system\ole db\oledb32.dll and regsvr32 "C:\program...

XP running along apparently fine, Diskeeper pops up as it is wont to do to inform that a Chkdsk is scheduled. Next time I bootup chkdsk runs then XP won't go online! Reboot to ME, online no problem. Back to XP, restore the registry, no change. Re-install the modem software, same ol' same...

After all is said and done, my Compact Disc drive is *unreadable* for whatever reason, yet unbeknown to me. As I find out, the *lost* data (?) can be recovered at a considerable expense ( 100 to 250 p/st.). It will be a lot 'cheaper' to replace it with a new one. I had no idea that the CD drive...

Hi I've been using Diskeeper Lite for some time on my WinMe machine primarily because the Windows defragger refuses to run except in Safe Mode. (In any case, I understand that the Windows defragger is merely a watered-down version of Diskeeper). Yesterday, I installed ScanDefrag and ran it. When it...

There's a new update out today. Joan

Hi I am sure old-hands will see this as a typical WinMe novice question and murmur something appropriately dismissive. Nevertheless, in the six weeks I have been using this computer (1.8GHz CPU, 256MB RAM, 20GB HDD--13GB free), I have read as much as possible on System Resources and I have set...

I thought I read something that said Microsoft was going to discontinue support for WinME. I'm not sure what that means. Does it mean they won't be writing any more security patches, won't help write drivers for new devices, won't offer any downloads and updates? Has anybody here heard anything...

I've heard that some people have two graphics cards in their PC. How do they select which one is operable and also prevent the two interfering with each other? I have an AGP graphics card in this PC (running WinME) and I have a PCI graphics card I want to put in and do some tinkering and...
