# 417: system restore....help

you have performed an illegal operation...
if this problem persists, contact the program vendor."

i've done this once before and took it in to be fixed
and they said they had to do a "system restore"
it doesn't matter if anything gets lost, just as long as the computer works again.
i was wondering if you had the discs i need to perform this restore. or if you know who might
thank you
greg cooper

# 418: RE: system restore....help

they usually have a system restore disk that will
restore without formating and saves your old data.

a second idea would be upgrade to win98.. that usually fixes problems like this.

also if you have a win95 disk and it will restore without formatting you should be fine.

if you have to do a format , be sure to save all youe valuable emails and address books etc.

anymore problems call me at 405 557 1444/1499 roger

i have converted from ntfs to fat32 and installed using the original installation disks [ worked perfectly before].

i also have tried reinstalling the drivers for my digital camera which will not install as it says that there are more appropriate ones already installed.

# 330: Windows Explorer Problem

Title of Error Explorer.Exe - Application Error

Dialog box: The instruction at "0x038bba72" referenced memory at "0x0000000". The memory could not be "written".

OK to terminate the program
Cancel to debug program.

When I click on Cancel - it re-sets my desktop, OK just locks up the system.

Another thing, when I boot up, I've set up the Recovery Console so that it's available to me as a boot option, which brings me to a C prompt in the winnt directory.

Other than not being able to use Windows Explorer - Everything works fine

# 338: RE: Windows Explorer Problem

but in my mind the two most likely issues are either ram or windows.

if you can run data intensive applications ok, like databases or 3d games like quake3, then i would say your ram is probably ok.

if opening explorer crashes as the fist thing you do in windows, and it does it alot or eveytime then i would say it's a 95% chance that it's windows. in which case you can either try installing windows on another harddrive, install 2k over the top of your existing install ( the quickest option ) or format your existing dirve and re-install 2k onto it fresh ( the most thorough choice ).

i would recommend trying my second suggestion first ( install over top ).

# 382: RE: Windows Explorer Problem

You can also run the System File Checker utility to verify that EXPLORER.EXE isn't corrupt.

To perform this: Click Start > Run... > type "cmd" in the command line that appears type "sfc" to run the checker.

If this doesn't work, then run CHKDSK
Perform the same operation to get to the command line as above.. instead type "chkdsk c: /f /r" to perform a thorough scan.

I have this utility installed on my system. This utility is compatable with all versions of windows and is freeware and when installed does not make any changes to the operating system untill you instruct x-setup to do so plus the tweak or tweaks can be undone if necessary. This utility has about 750 individual tweaks that can finetune and tweak the operating system to your liking and may offer the tweak you want (hiding the My Computer link within the recycle bin.)Some of the tweaks may not apply to your operating system.

# 313: scan disc

# 339: RE: scan disc

dos scandisk is better so i'll go through that first.

to get to it in win9x select 'start', 'shutdown' then 'restart in msdos mode'. then type
cd \windows\command
NB : if you have selected your own win dir' replace 'windows' with what ever you chose.
then type
scandisk

otherwise shutdown all the programs running, you can see some / most of them down by the clock. right or left click on them and select 'exit' or 'close' or whatever looks close. also disable your screensaver.

disabling your screensaver :
right click your desktop ( what you see when you first start windows ) and select properties on the menu that pops down. then select the tab saying 'screen saver' at the top of the new window. then where you can select you're screen saver select '[none]'. click 'apply' and 'ok' and re-run scandisk.

# 302: _setup.dll sounds like install program issue

windows is not dos and such does not handle programs which have followed install procedures not following uninstall procedures ( read manual deletion ).

software issues like this are always tricky, and its' not exactly clear to me where the problem lies. have you tried installing any other programs with success ? if the programs are on floppy disks check to ensure they are reliable. two floppy disks creating the exact same problem would be rare, but not impossible.

but the best place to start if your not afraid of a little brain power, reading and exploring, is to browse through all the documentation, text, electronic or otherwise, to find exactly what those error codes mean. finding out may tell you the problem.

if you have no luck on the data that you hold you may also try browsing the softwares' web site, looking through thier list or other users problems ( if they have one ) or emailing thier support address. they are bound to have seen this problem before and more than likely have a good solution. it is after all their product.

you might also want to try the web site of Install Shield, if they have one, they may also have information on the program.

# 270: Stop Windows from changing my IE option setting

# 271: RE: Stop Windows from changing my IE option setting

If that fails open 'my computer' and open 'dial up networking'. from there right click on the dial-up connection you're using and if its the same as mine ( winME ) then click the dialing tab at the top right, then check the dialing 'radio buttons'. apply those then restart.

if that fails then it would definatly seem to be a windows issue, so you could try a windows update at windowsupdate.microsoft.com if after applying all needed patches you still have no luck really the quickest solution would try re-installing windows over the top. it shouldn't take more than an hour ( probably less than all of the above ) and should fix the problem.

if that seems too scary an re-install of IE may also help.

# 263: RE: Fax Program Problem

b ) faxes have quite a bit of data to send, and they are limited to doing it over a copper phone line. so their result will always suck many times worse than the cheapest printer you can find. they really are best for only text.

so your program sounds like it is simply showing you an honest view of what your fax will look like at the other end.

on the upside, check to see if the 'fine-mode' option is enabled, if not it will make the picture look a little better.

i you must send a good quality picture post or email it. but if you email it do the recievee a favor, dont put it in a word document first.

# 259: No audio on mpegs

Thanks,
Graeme Simpson

# 260: RE: No audio on mpegs

Good Luck!

# 267: further description

firstly, all other sound is ok, right ? if you can play .avi files and cd-audio then that indicates that all sound drivers should be ok. it would be best to test this through the same program that your trying to play mpeg videos from, just to check that programs settings.

if you can do the above and play sounds ok this also rules out the sound settings in windows itself.

what im thinking at the moment is that, if my assumptions above are correct, maybe the required mpeg codec has 'dissapeared' from your machine.

a codec is basically software that decodes files for your computer, thus without it your computer cant use certain files.

the biggest giveaway to this would be an error popping up from windows media player when your trying to play these files, or the volume changer being unusable ( grayed, crossed out, etc ) where before it was fine.

is this so ?

WMP also tries to automatically download any needed codecs if it finds one it needes one it doesnt have. if your connected to the internet at the same time as trying to play this clip then any needed codecs should be downloaded.

so to recap
- try playing other different types of sounds
- try to narrow to the problem to _only_ mpegs
- try updating WMP ( although its probably fine )

- NB : you could also try putting in "+mp3 +codec +download" ( without the quotes ) into a search engine and find a codec to install into your machine. even if at worst it doesnt solve the problem, it rules out one possibility.

-good luck

The rambooster utilities give a direct moment-to-moment reading of how much is available, and can clear out the unused code sitting there if you click "Optimize". They do not mess up or slow down the computer. They also ease the load on the Virtual Memory swapping activity that Winduds is always messing with, since unused code is wiped from RAM, not just saved to the Swap File.

# 265: Resources Monitoring

RAM is high speed memory used to run programs, thus the more you have the faster programs will run ( to a point ) and the better multiple programs will run at one time.

If you want to see how much space you have left to save things, like typing or files from the internet, then your talking hard drive space.

If you want to monitor your RAM use then goto
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Monitor

If you want to see how much hard drive space you have : double click on 'my computer', which is on your desktop. then click once on the hard drive to look at. in your case proabable drive c, so look for somthing like "Local Disk (C:)". either a graph should pop up showing you sapce left, or in the bottom right-hand corner of the window you will see how much space is free.

# 214: Microsoft networking password at startup

recently I've had a problem with being asked to enter my password for microsoft networking at system startup and internet logon.

Originally, when I installed windows I had set it so that this didn't occur (hit cancel the first time it appears and it never normally comes back)

I'm not sure why it has now re-appeared (might be something to do with IE updates, but does anyone know how to get rid of it without re-installing windows.

Many thanks,

Justin.

# 227: RE: Microsoft networking password at startup

# 236: Microsoft networking

if all you have done is do IE updates and you dont have a network card then right click on network neighborhood, on your desktop, click properties. you will see a list of network devices installed. if you have anything other than "tcp/ip", "dial-up adapter" and somthing like "microsoft family logon" then they are probably extras and may be causing the problem. note what they are ( just in case you do need them ) then remove them. there is also a listbox labelled "primary network logon" : try changing that if the above doesnt work.

Then check out "The Wave". This is an old site but he has some great wavs. Try his Startup Sounds page at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/7757/startup.html. I assigned the "greetexalted.wav" to my computer start up. Now when I turn it on, instead of the microsoft sound, Luke Skywalker says "Greetings Exalted One". I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but when my computer greets me as "Exalted One" I can believe, if only for a moment, that my it knows who's boss.
At the bottom of this page are other categories and I think the AOL wav is here as well.

Third: go to http://www.barbneal.com/wav.asp. Great wav page. Looney Toons, movies, tv shows, whatever. There is a great selection here.

# 133: RE: windows 95 defragmenting problem after scandisc finds no errors

Good Luck!

# 134: RE: windows 95 defragmenting problem after scandisc finds no errors

If this works, you had a very common virus (it comes by e-mail, and if you have it, so do most of your e-mail corespondants who are not running anti-virus software!) that both defrag and scandisk seem to chase around that is connected to that wininit.exe file.

Download an anti virus program, or refresh yours if applicable, check for viruses.

One of the aliases is "network.vbs", if I recall correctly.

If a virus DOES show up, go to the SARC site to see how to get rid of it, it may involve tweaking the regirtry a bit, follow directions EXACTLY and you will be OK.

If no virus shows up, just move the wininit.exe file back, and sorry to have bothered you, but if you were sitting here, I'd bet you $50.00 that this virus, or one like it is causing your problem.

Note: You may get an error message when you reboot to windows, relating to wininit.bak, "cannot find wininit.exe", "network.vbs (or something like it) unable to find wininit.exe", or some such message, or not; it depends on the variation of the virus you have.
Don't panic, at worst, reuse your starup disk, and move the wininit.exe file back. (Getting the message just about proves that you have the virus)

# 120: RE: Help! No Startup Disk will Work

1)The floppy drive could be damaged.
2)The floppy's data cable could be damaged.
3)The floppy drive port on the motherboard could be damaged.

To find out remove the floppy drive along with the data cable from the PIII 500. Remove the floppy drive along with the data cable from your other computer and install it in the PIII 500. Before connecting the data cable to the motherboard check for any bent or missing pins on the FDD port on the motherboard. Place your Startup disc in the floppy drive and turn on the PIII 500. If the startup disc is recognized then it is either the floppy drive or the data cable that is damaged on the original floppy drive. If the startup disc is not recognized then more than likely the FDD port is damaged on the motherboard which means you will need a new motherboard.

Good luck!

# 99: RE: Windows 98

Reboot.

If messages are gone, re-install the hardware, reload the drivers, reboot.

You likely had a legacy problem from the old OS, WFW networking, or an old network card (some do not have W98 drivers available) would cause the problem, so if you still have the problem, get a new NIC ($15.00CDN to hundreds, depending where you go and the type you get)

If you didn't have a NIC or modem to start with, and you have access to the old software, backup any files you want to keep, fdisk, reformat and reload.

# 54: 16mm and vhs input

# 95: RE: 16mm and vhs input

Now let's assume that you have the finished, edited video on your hard drive. What do you want to do with it? You could burn a CD, or just save the file on your hard drive if you want just want to watch it on your computer. Or... if your 'card' also has video or TV out, then you can record it back to your VCR.

Your 16mm is 'easy'. Play it in a quite room, and record with a video camera. I would suggest that you test your setup to make sure of sound and image quality before playing a whole movie, just to save time and agrivation. You might also borrow or rent a HIGH quality video camera if you don't own one, or if you can't get good quality from your own equipment.

Can you afford it? It depends on how much of above stuff you already have, and/or the time you are willing to invest in the project.

If you have, or know someone with one of those new Mac machines with a DVD burner that would be worth a try too.

It's possible your files are saved under "C:\Windows\Application Data\{D345435-345345445(name varies)}\Microsoft\Office\Outlook" as well...
The best way to find the files is to Search for inbox.pst (Outlook) or inbox.dbx (Outlook Express)
You'll know you've selected the correct identitiy because each file will be named after the Outlook folder it contains.
I believe Microsoft provides a utility to repair the Store files.

Remember to Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing or When
You're Up to Your Ass in Alligators, It's Difficult to
Remember That Your Initial Objective Was to Drain the Swamp.

My advice would be to get a copy of Win 98, and then use 98 Lite www.98lite.net This is a custom installer for Win 98 which retains it's improved compatibility and reliability, but allows you to use your old Win95 shell, and prevent the install of Internet Explorer 5 etc. Giving a BIG speed boost.
