I got to bed relatively early last night for the 2nd time in a few days and,
indeed, the 2nd time in weeks. I have bouts of insomnia, Joan, which I've
usually attributed to the time of year, but maybe this one was a reaction to
not smoking (haven't smoked in about 7 weeks now). I'm hoping to get back to
civilised hours now. For one I'd hate to be in bed still and missing this
ethereal autumn light.

Thanks for noticing!

OK. Cheers, Noel. btw, Rosie bought a mouse in earlier and when I rescued
it, it ran up my trouser leg. Luckily I stopped it getting above the knee!
What a surprise though!

scanreg /fix works fine from the bootdisk.com boot floppy - as it does

from
the ME floppy. You need to use the With/out CD option though, rather than
the Minimal one

You mean the autoexec.bat from www.bootdisk.com doesn't have
path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command? Have to admit I haven't used them -

I
make my own. btw perhaps you should recommend the oem bootdisk?

Zee, no need to change to the command directory as it's in the path.
Scanreg
/restore at the A:\ prompt will do.

You should try

A registry repair:

Bootup with a startup floppy disk and at the A:\ prompt type

C: (press enter)

Now type:

cd windows\command (press enter)

Your prompt should read C:\Windows\Command, correct?

Now type:

scanreg /fix (space between g and /)

Press enter, wait for the process to finish and reboot WITHOUT the
disk.

If that doesn't work, try a registry resto

Bootup with a startup floppy disk and at the A:\ prompt and
repeat
the
steps above and replace the scanreg command with:

scanreg /restore (space between g and /)

Press enter, select a date PRIOR to the problem, press enter, wait
for
the
process to finish and reboot WITHOUT the disk.

If you don't have a startup disk, download one from

www.bootdisk.com.

Any luck?

We have a PC w/Windows ME someone gave to us. More and
more frequently now, when we boot up it always gets stuck
after the Windows ME logo comes up at a blank screen with
the cursor up in the upper lefthand corner and we have to
power down and back up again (sometimes 2 or 3 times).

When we do get on (using the #1 choice of 'Normal' logon
when prompted) the display settings are larger than we
keep them normally. Also, sometimes after that, the
desktop screen will blink repeatedly until we move the
mouse and sometimes freeze. We have downloaded and
used 'Stinger''Spyware''Adaware' to get rid of hijack,
trojan and spyware files but nothing helps...appreciate
some input.

Thx, M

power than me g
I agree about the weather, but then it usually does change for the better
when the kids go back to school after the summer hols. g it's been
gloriously hot and sunny here all day just hope it keeps up until we've
had our holiday. I'm going to harass Noel again this year vbg

Either use your restore CD to take your machine back to
day 1, or go out and spend $100.00 on XP and install that.
I'm all of a sudden having problems on my machine with Me
and I'm going to try the restore CD first. If that doesn't
work, I've been told to throw the damned box out the
window and get a new Dell, Compac, or anything besides
emachines.

Good luck

If you are so easily upset by a problem as to feel the need to throw your
PC out of the window, what makes you think that buying a new PC and using
the XP operating system is going to make any difference?

Isn't a 'girl mouse' actually a shrew?

I'd have probably caved by now but for the nicotine gum. 'Cos, you know, you
can quit for months and suddenly the craving'll hit you. In the past I'd
have eventually bought a packet of cigs, but now I'll use a gum.

It's the caving in in the past that taught me that you start again for want
of a single cigarette. The rest of the pack inevitably follows and a few
hundred more packs before you're ready to try again. It's probably why they
don't sell cigs singly.

I agree about the weather, but then it usually does change for the better
when the kids go back to school after the summer hols. g it's been
gloriously hot and sunny here all day just hope it keeps up until we've

I'm very glad to hear it! Give him hell from me, Joan!
