Help and Support and boot records
Okay so first of all when ever i try to get into helpand support it takes
forever for it to load and then when it does it says something like "help and support error send this number to microsoft" or something like that and the number is something like this "22541139" or some thing but i know it starts with "225" but then when i type something into the serch box it will do nothing but sit there until i exit out of the helpand support it is really weird and i am getting really mad at it cause when ever i need something off of it it will not do the help and suport. The second thing is that when ever i scan it for viruses with norton system works it still scan for viruses and everything but the thing that is bothering me is it comes up as "1 master boot record and 2 boot records" now i think it used to be a windows 95(consedering i found an old ticket of Authenticity and a book saying "Introducing Microsoft Windows 95") before it was upgraded to windows ME and its hdd space is only 4.02GB and my 98 has 7.02GB of hard drive space in it and so i was just wondering if it might have a hidden OS in it and if it does how to get to it so i can have a double OS computer and to choose which OS i want to use at startup. |

Help and Support and boot records
Oh dear! I've just re-read your message and noticed that you have chosen to
install and use Norton's System Destroyer. A product that is totally incompatible with Win Me and that has a track record of causing more damage and problems to system running Win Me than all the viruses that were released during the life of Win Me (2000-2006). If you choose to continue to use System Destroyer you are on your own and won't find any solutions here other than to uninstall and dump Destroyer. -- Mike Maltby Justin wrote: Okay so first of all when ever i try to get into helpand support it takes forever for it to load and then when it does it says something like "help and support error send this number to microsoft" or something like that and the number is something like this "22541139" or some thing but i know it starts with "225" but then when i type something into the serch box it will do nothing but sit there until i exit out of the helpand support it is really weird and i am getting really mad at it cause when ever i need something off of it it will not do the help and suport.

Mike is being harsh. Norton is great for increasing IT's income at $125 an
hour. As far as remnants of old OSs, it's doubtful, but run msconfig and under system.ini look at the boot list. There should be no duplication of items. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics!

You'll probably need a third party application for this. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...&aq=f&oq=&aqi= Ben |
