Default Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB867801) update

Edie,

GoBack provides instructions when booting your system how to boot to DOS, use
them and you will be able to follow my instructions and solve your problem.
Since I don't have or use GoBack I don't know what you see on your screen and
therefore how to proceed. I seem to recall that a GoBack menu appears when
you boot your PC. Is there anything there that tells you how to then boot to
DOS such as an option to boot from a floppy?

(Fdisk) It asked if I wanted to
enable large disk support and I answered No.


In my previous reply I had said: "click Y (for large disk support)" however
that is unimportant as you were only using FDISK to check the partition layout
and even that is now unnecessary as you are using GoBack.

As you can see from your posting GoBack modifies the partition table to read
"Type - Non-DOS" which is why you cannot see the drive from DOS. The bit
concerned need to be restored so that the type reads "DOS" after which you
will be able to see the floppy when booting from a floppy. As I said I
believe GoBack has the instructions on the screen when booting telling you
what you need to do.

BTW, I appreciate your faith in me. I really didn't know
the C:\_RESTORE file needed to be renamed to take care of
the problem.


How come? g I had already told you twice that that was the cause of your "
"Windows Could Not Upgrade the File %1 from %2 %1: %2" error". vbg

You mention problems with IPHLPAPI.DLL. You also mention that you are using
AOL. So it should come as no surprise that the problem is AOL 9 which is
badly written and that those involved at AOL clearly have never used Win Me
and seem clueless as to how to install their application attempting as they
are to use an incompatible version of iphlpapi.dll. the problem being that the
version placed by AOL in Program Files\Common Files\AOL\ACS\Net\Winme is
different from that in the windows\system folder which cannot be replaced
without AOL using the correct procedure and certificate as it is one of many
system files protected against amendment or deletion by Win Me's System File
Protection mechanism. The solution here is to remove AOL 9 and wait for AOL to
fix the problem although given how long AOL 9 had been released it seems they
are in no sort of hurry to fix the problem (and AOL wonder why their customer
numbers are getting smaller).

Regards,

Thanks Mike.

I do have GO Back running. I can revert the drive to a
previous time, boot from floppy or disable Go Back. It
also has an option to clear all history for the C drive.
I'll try to get more info booting to get to DOS to
see C.

When I ran FDISK a message appeared saying the disk was
larger than 512MB and described the improved support for
large disks resulting in more efficient use of disk space
on large drives. An important message also said if I
enabled the large disk support and created new drives on
the disk it would not allow me to access new drives using
other operating systems not designed for FAT32 or older
disk utilities might not work. It asked if I wanted to
enable large disk support and I answered No. I then chose
option 4, Display Partition Info. Here's the info that
displayed:

Current fixed disk drive - 1
Partition - 1
Status - A
Type - Non-DOS
Volume Label - No data
Mbytes - 19077
System - No data
Usage - 100%
Total disk space is 19093MB

Should I enable large disk support?

One other thing. I get an error message occasionally when
booting to windows that says the IPHLPAPI.DLL file can't
start. Check file to determine problem. I searched for
the file and found 2: One is in Windows\System and the
other is in Program Files\Common Files\AOL\ACS\Net\Winme.

Could that be causing a problem? How can I determine the
problem with either of these files?

BTW, I appreciate your faith in me. I really didn't know
the C:\_RESTORE file needed to be renamed to take care of
the problem. Thanks again for your help.

I did boot from the floppy from GO Back. At the A prompt
I typed CD C:, C:\ appeared but reverted back to the A
prompt without letting me enter the C drive.


That's progress of a sort but again I never actually asked you to use CD C:.
What actually happens now when from the A:\ when you used the ATTRIB and REN
commands? However I don't know about using any "GoBack floppy". I would
prefer you to use a Win Me boot floppy/setup disk otherwise you won't have the
ATTRIB command. So please read the GoBack screen when your system boots and
follow the instructions their for how to boot to DOS.

I have also recently ran Scan Disk, Defrag, and scanned my
system for viruses using Norton's AntiVirus 2004
Professional (nothing was found).


This may have given you some satisfaction but as I have repeatedly said will
do nothing to solve your problem. You know what you need to do, I've told you
the commands to use and until you do so you will continue to see the error
every time you boot your PC.
