I have no clue what this means. Ijust know the computer has gotten so slow it takes about 10 minutes to boot.

I did network it with a ME system. I'm not sure but I think that started the slow-up.

Thanks for your Help,
Bill Andrews

William. William, William!

Aren't you the lucky one?

Quickly say NO!

I reckon I can fix this for you, and it only involves the use of a large hammer, dustpan and brush.

Only joking! Here's what you do:

Important: It is a good idea to keep a copy of any file you change or delete in case you don't like the results


1) Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel. Double-click Network. Double-click "Client For Microsoft Networks". "Log onto Windows NT Domain" should be unchecked. Hit OK if you made a change, otherwise hit cancel. Make sure "Primary Network Logon" says "Windows Login". If you made a change, click OK and reboot when prompted. Otherwise just hit cancel.

Note: If you made a change in step 1, then rebooting now might do the trick.

2) Go to Start->Find->Files and Folders. Search for *.pwl on the C: drive. Delete all results.

Warning: If you are currently logging into Windows by actually typing a password or hitting OK, then your desktop preferences will be lost (screen saver, wallpaper, etc...). Workaround is to locate your personalized folder under C:\Windows\Profiles and copy its contents (files and folders) into the C:\Windows directory.

3) Go to C:\Windows and open up system.ini in Notepad. Remove any lines only under the section entitled [Password Lists]. Close and save changes.

4) Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel. Double-click Passwords. Go to the User Profiles tab. Make sure "All users share the same preferences..." is selected. Hit OK.

5) Empty the recycle bin and reboot.

6) It may ask you for a username and password one last time. Just be sure to leave the password field empty and hit OK. It should then warn you that a password will not be stored. Just OK it and you'll never see this prompt again!

And if that fails .......................... get a playstation II, apparently they're quite good.
COFFEE.EXE missing - Insert Cup and Press Any Key.

Please tell me if the answer I gave was helpful or a bus ride out. Without your feedback I won't know.
