Matt I think you could be right on the virus issue - so I have moved up to XP, and added Norton AV 2004 - sure enough, there was a worm or two sitting in the system, which Norton eliminated right away. Taking out static VxDs in msconfig did the trick in ME, but interfered with some devices -...

Ken Finally grasped the nettle and installed XP - it took a bit of wrestling to get ME off the system, but it gave up the struggle in the end. After the customary 9 hours of frustration, my PC is running like a top, and all I have to do now is spend another 9 hours restoring all the data ...

Running WinME on Pentium III desktop machine, I get a report during boot that 'winspool.drv' is missing. Can't find this file on the WinME installation CD. I could use some help in locating the file. Any ideas ?

Ken I'm stumped too. New PC in the offing, following which I will 'recover' this machine. Never buy Sony ! Richard

Hello Ken I thought it was on-board, because there is no PCI device section in Device Manager. But I'm not quite sure - I ran AIDA (I could e-mail you the report) and this shows that there is no driver for sound devices loaded - a bit odd, because I have reinstalled the SiS7018 driver, and...

I accidentally deleted some drivers. Windows ME automatically reinstalled the missing drivers on reboot, but my sound card is now not functioning properly. Windows Media Player reports that it 'can't open the audio device'. I used a utility called Soundcheck to check this - this reported a...
