This is just a quick question please. Not sure what happens or why this occurs. But when I open a new window it doesnt automatically maximaize or is not full screen, anyone? Thanks.

My brother can hardly see and has to have his screen resolution at 800 x 600 or whatever. Is there a way to make all his icons and fonts for the whole computer bigger? Including websites and everythin else without changing the screen resolution? Thanks Beau

On the one hand, I am reluctant to start a new thread, with so many already scattered about. On the other hand, I have something concrete that I discovered, and it seems to warrant a new thread. As a background, I found that the "Kb891711.exe" patch caused problems on one of my computers. Poking...

Is there a way where I can reload individual components from the Windows ME original CD, rather than reloading all of Windows ME again. I just need to rebuild Internet Explorer which has just gone haywire. I keep getting a message that the version installed is higher than the one I'm trying to...

Hi everyone Ill be honest and say I have no idea about this computer. Everytime I try to shut down I receive a window displaying the message that my MXSC.exe file has an error.

Win ME on Compaq Presario will ping IP's but not URL's. ISP Comcast says winsock issue but can't help me because of no OS cd that I need to restack TCP/IP (no idea what that means). I suspect Java.ByteVerify!exploit trojan and Java.Shinwow.Q trojan in .jpi_cache that E-trust cannot clean, even...

Whenever I launch Primo-pdf (a programme that "Prints" Word documents to .pdf format), I get the following error message " Msgsrv32 has caused an error in PSCRIPT.DRV". Although everything works, I cannot then print on the normal HP printer without re-booting. Can anyone suggest how I cure this...

Hi, Can someone please tell me how to view how much space I have left on my hard drive and much memory I have free? I'm thinking of getting a new PC (with XP!) and want to know what a "good" amount of memory is to go for! 80GB seems to be the max in the cheaper ranges and I'm not sure that's...

X-Post to WinME General This thread so far: http://snipurl.com/dipk. OP (Home User) has additional problems (see http://snipurl.com/dip8) and is running IE v6.0.2800.1106IC. Home User, I don't know how you ended up with it but your replies suggest that you now have what the WinME Pros call...

No more blue screen of death after uninstalling the security update and deleting the files KB891711.EXE and Q891711.DLL in windows system folder. Thanks for all the posts and the solution to the problem. Bill.

O.k., there were lots of items in task manager.....it seemed like time to format the drive and reinstall ME. I did, went great without a hitch. Now there are only a few things in Task Manager, sys tray, etc. But the one program that plays back MIDI files (which are small files) still reports out...

Windows Update prompted me to install the "Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1 (KB837009)." I did, and it appeared successful, with the "installation complete" check mark! HOWEVER on my next visit to Windows Update, it was back on the list! I installed it about a dozen...

Hello, I was almost going to format my hard disk. A few days ago, I downloaded a video player called BSPLAYER. This program does not need to be installed, it has to be unzipped and used directly in the folder you choose. Afer launching the bsplayer.exe by double clicking on its file,just a few...

I've "inherited" my wife's old laptop running Win 2000. It's a Compaq Armada 500 with a P2 and about 5 gig of HDD (and appallingly slow) but I can find a use for it IF I can get it to run a bit faster. I've booted it into DOS with a WIN Me boot disc but can't find the C drive to format it,...
