Thanks for all the suggestions. I've already made several of the changes and will see how it performs the next few days. I have not ever cleaned the registry - what registry cleaner do you recommend I use? Barry

Sometimes accessing the drives on my P4 XP Pro machine are way too slow. When I click on My Computer (or Windows Explorer), it can take up to a couple of minutes to display my drives. It doesn't happen all the time, but too often. I have a similar problem at work with my XP Pro machine there...

Hi Jeff: Thanks for the response, but that's not my problem. I'm looking in the right place, but I'm thinking my problem has to do with NSS volumes. A co-worker told me that you can not use NWADMIN to view User Space Limits on NSS volumes - that you have to use Console One instead. I...

When I right click on different volumes in NWAdmin, User Space Limits is not listed in the Details on some volumes -nor is it availabe under Page Options. Any idea why not and how I can get it? Thanks. Barry

Thanks for the advice - makes sense!

Thanks - that fixed my installer service, but now I have another problem. The installer will begin to run for no reason. For example, I clicked on my IE toolbar to access my favorites and the installer started to run. The same thing happened when I clicked on an icon on my desktop. The...

Thanks I'll give it a try. So I need the webcam software on my end, but none is needed for a remote user? Except a browser I guess.

I have a USB Web Camera on my PC. How would I set it up so that someone could view through it remotely using a web browser? Thanks. Barry

When trying to install my printer software, I received the following message: "The installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in Safe Mode, or if the Window's installer service is not correctly installed. contact your support personnel for assistance."...

Thanks for the replys - I have ordered the CD. Barry

I have gone to the Windows Update page and downloaded all the patches and updates for Windows ME because I plan on reinstalling ME soon on my PC. There are 46 Critical Updates in the WU directory which was created on my hard dive (which I plan on copying to a CD). I was wondering how to...

Thanks for the suggestions - I will test the memory this weekend. When Windows does load normally, which it does most (about half) the time, it acts and runs completely normally.

My XP Home PC hangs occasionally as Windows is loading. I see the XP logo appear on the screen with a bar below it continuously moving from left to right. The bar will stop after several left to right cycles. I will then have to push the power button to restart it. It usually will start...

It looks like that removed it. Thanks. Barry

I get the following error message frequently in my Windows ME PC: "Aupdate has caused an error in OLE32.dll. If you" "continue to experience problems, try restarting" "your computer" When I click Close on the message box another message usually comes up: "Explorer has caused an error in...

My apologies - I assumed I had already read the article. I stand corrected. Barry

Thanks all for the replys, but they do not answer my question. I know where System File Checker is supposed to be, but it's not there and apparently is not on this machine. When I try to run sfc (in Start\Run)I get a "cannot find file" message. I'm wondering where I can download the utility...

I was trying to run the System File Checker on my ME PC, but I can't find it. I thought it was under Accessories, System Information, Tools, but it's not there. Isn't it available in ME? Can someone please help? Thanks. Barry

No, all I use this PC for is internet access - there are very few programs on it.

My XP Pro PC will not load. It appears to start normally, but it never gets to the Welcome screen. It hangs at the screen that has Windows XP (and logo) with the blue background. Even though the mouse is not frozen at this point, there is nothing I can do but reboot, but it does the same...
