2 External USB HD for XP and ME

It would have helped if he mentioned his end goal. That is whether backing
up a few files, a small transfer, or say a complete backup, a huge transfer.
My experience with USB2 is it is not extremely...

Service pack for ME

One point Mike, I will not see USB 2 in device manager unless I have
installed the drivers from my MOBO makers CD.
He will possibly have to find another way to determine if his MOBO is USB 2
capable....

Registry Defragmenters

I could not agree more that registry cleaners are not for the inexperienced.
I've had my share of problems, even with MSRegClean, which is no longer
supported. It would remove a key that would break...

Registry Defragmenters

Does that also go for scanreg /opt /fix ?
Not really a defragmenter I'd guess, but it does get rid of wasted space.

Thanks Mike,
I ran AdAware and Spybot, nothing found.

I did that search again and they have now stopped showing up there. Best
guess is that I had something going on that I decided to run a...

I had used AVGfree in the past and sure it had limitations as well.

Thanks for the info. I'm comfortable with AVG and ZA, but must have gotten
confused as to what would work with WME.
Do I need 6.1 or something pre-6.1?

Need driver help for Win ME.....?

As Mike pointed out, WME has the drivers for USB 1.0 & 1.1.
And as pointed out, check device manager.
But also do it in safe mode and look for extra devices and remove them. I

You have left some needed info out as you may have already understood by
other replies.

Sorry if I got you confused. It is now apparent that the situation does not
apply since your HDD is so small. The size issue is something you do need to
be aware of if you upgrade the drive to a...

Thanks for those links. Once I figure out how to use them, I might be able
to find what seems to be eating memory and also an issue with outlook not

I am curious what you mean by half the letters. Is the page spilling off the
screen or are individual letters being chopped?
Are you using a LCD or CRT display?

I assume you mean by correctly that he didn't use a HDD bigger than
127/137GB. He might have put a 160GB or bigger drive in and WME will happily

Maybe the association he has to get rid of is not with word, but with the
