presto page manager
Page Manager comes bundled with vistascan software.
After reloading windows ME page manager refuses to load, having been OK with windows ME before. Software company says it is a fault with the operating system. Any experience with a similar problem? any solutions or suggestions greatly welcomed. Ken Hutson |

Hi and sorry for delay in getting back.
Some months ago 'me' refused to load. I re-formatted the hard drive, reinstalled 'me' but no joy. Took machine to local reputable repair shop who sorted the problem by re-partitioning the disk before re-installing 'me' again, this time successfully. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Hmm - I suspect that the shop must have done something else, as well, since
simply re-partitioning shouldn't have made any difference. Have you installed all the updates from Windows Update?? Which version of PPM are you trying to install? http://uk.newsoft.eu.com/redir/other_all.asp?category=faq&product=Presto!%20PageM anager&version=4.2.x&faq=PM42x may help - what exact errors ar you getting? - where/when?? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "ikorodurd" wrote in message ...

Thank you for your interest.
I went to the Newsoft website you mentioned and downloaded a patch to solve the problem of Presto freezing in 'me'. Then I installed the patch and restarted the computer.....or rather tried to! But, nightmare, the computer froze at a hanging cursor, identical to the problem necessitating visit to aforementioned shop! Again like then, when I switched off and then rebooted, I was offered safe mode. Happily Microsoft Support appeared and offered me the option of reverting back to previous settings. This worked, so I am now able to boot the computer again. But the problem with Presto (version 4.20W) remains, and what has happened suggests that my old computer problem may have been caused by Presto?! When Presto freezes and I do ctrl-alt-del I get 'MSQSRV32 (NOT RESPONDING)' and everything else slows down. I've also had 'PRESTOPM (NOT RESPONDING)' and 'MMTASK(NOT RESPONDING)' but not every time. Presto seems to corrupt things. After trying to run it and trying then to shut down, I get a blank black window headed 'REGENV32'. Any idea what is going on? Many thanks.

Not a clue - but I'll pass this along to a friend who may have.
