That sounds as if you are going to be enjoying yourself. Hope it all
works out and that the lubrication doesn't get in the way of the t-shirt printing (or maybe they really will be t-shorts g). As for your flat being a midden, you fortunately have never seen this one. :-) -- Mike Noel Paton wrote: Hmm - no, I think I'll leave that one to you (you seem to have it admirably under control!) Must get to bed now so I can be all bright-eyed/bushy-tailed tomorrow to move my PC over to the pub for Monday's fun - creating T-shorts to order (while wearing a rather fetching black velvet frock, wig, and Doc Martins!)

Thanks a million for the information, I printed it out and
did just what you said to do and got all the reinstalls done, except for one. For some reason KB 823559 even though I downloaded and open it, just hasn't reinstalled like the others have. I tried it several times, even downloaded it two or three time, still no reinstall. Is it possible to go into the registry and delete that and then reinstall?? Anyhow when and click on the help button ro go to system information I still get the same message in both cases; Help Center Failed Report Microsoft Support Number 2147143678, what ever that means.

Jean,
I'm not sure why the 823559 patch is proving difficult to reinstall. However since the patch isn't being installed via the Windows Update mechanism the usual logs are not available (iuhist.xml in the Program Files\WindowsUpdate\v4 folder and Windows Update.log in the Windows folder). It is just possible that you may have a log in the Windows folder that might contain some useful information. I don't know what the log's name will be something like Q823559.log or KB832559.txt. I feel that the failed attempts to install this patch are possibly the reason for your problems in accessing Win Me's Help & Support. In an attempt to fix this I would suggest that you install latest MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components version 2.8 ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en) as this has helped fix this problem for some users. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Mike wrote: Thanks a million for the information, I printed it out and did just what you said to do and got all the reinstalls done, except for one.

What's the EXACT error message that you get when you try to install that
patch?? Are you sure that you downloaded the correct version? - each OS has had to have its own version, so one for Windows 2000 will NOT work in Win ME. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) 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 "Mike" wrote in message ...

Mike,
Downloaded the MDAC verison 2.8 file and installed on the computer, restarted the computer and tried to open help and also the system information files and still receive the same message. I even tried to install the KB823559 file again, still no responce. Everything seems to be working just fine on the computer except for the help files and the system information files.

What version of IE are you using? - a repair may be a good idea...... Reboot to Safe Mode Go to Add/Remove Programs and try a repair of Internet Explorer from there. Go to the entry for 'Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and Internet Tools' in Add/Remove Programs Click on Remove - and click on Repair on the window that pops up Reboot on request to Normal Mode If the above entry isn't there, you first need to uninstall all the patches applied, then do the repair, then reapply the patches The patches are listed in Add/Remove under the names 'Internet Explorer Qxxxxxx' highlight, click Remove - reboot if requested. Repeat until the MSIE6SP1 entry appears - then repair as above.

From what you say here, it looks very much as if you've attempted a reinstall of ME over IE6 - which doesn't work, and results in 'version soup' (a bit like alphabet soup - all the versions get mixed up, in blood-red sauce!g) There's only one known cure for this at present - look here for instructions. http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/ReInIE.htm Good Luck - and post back if you need explanations, or more help before embarking on 'brain surgery'!g -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) 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 "Jean" wrote in message ...
