First, welcome to the forum. I hope you find the information useful and use it
to help others. If you spend time reading through these forums every day you will
learn a lot. Most of the problems are not problems with Windows ME, but problems
caused by other programs, hardware and program corruption. The purpose of the list
of fixes started out to be a list of fixes for common problems with Windows ME, but
it has turned into a "how to clean up ADware/Virus/etc..."
Second. When you post in response to a question, please erase the prior message
in the box before you type yours. HTML is used to format your entry and this messes
up any material from the prior post. So mark it and "Cut" it out, except for any
short sections you need to refer to.
The preferred format is to use HTML through the "QuickLink" for format messages,
and reserve the "preserve your spacing" for special cases. This will require you
to learn a little basic HTML like starting a paragraph with a "paragraph brake" HTML
command (a P with angle brackets around it. Check out the QuickLink below the box,
and formating options. This way people can set their browser to any size window
and the text will re-flow to fit, instead of them having to scroll it side to side
to read your notes.
When you use the "preserve your spacing" option, it forces all other notes to
be reformated you your longest line length.
As for DEFRAG and SCANDISK restarting. That is because other programs are running
in the background and causing the restarts. The Windows ME Fixes addresses some of
these problems, by removing most of these Windows programs, and the Spyware type
programs that may be also running. Micro$oft recommends booting into Safe Mode. But
if you do all of the Windows ME fixes, then normally the only thing that will be
doing writes will be your firewall program, and this can be stopped by disconnecting
from the Internet while you run these programs.
Recommend you use the newer version of the Windows ME Fixes uploaded today. See:
