I don't think a virus is the problem, as I update my ETrust anti virus nightly, then scan all hard disks. I just ran Spybot, after checking for...
I noticed recently that web pages load very slowly. I thought it was Firefox, but IE does the same thing. My laptop,running Win2K Pro, does not...
Thanks, guys. After reading your comments, I think I'll keep the files. I will probably never need them, and hard drive space is not an issue, but...
I installed SP2 several months ago, and the process was flawless. I'd like to remove the SP2 uninstall files, but, of course, I don't remember...
The things I've learned from this forum... Thanks.
I fixed it. I made the taskbar three lines high, then dragged my open window icons to the same line as the QL. I was then able to shrink the...

Running Ad-Aware in Safe Mode allowed me to delete all the bad stuff. I was unable to find anywhere in Win ME an administrator account as in XP....

When I run Ad-Aware SE on a friend's older IBM laptop (Win ME), it finds over 400 critical objects. When I click on "fix," the program runs the...
