Windows Me - 'How To Guide'
I can agree with most things in that site - but NOT sections 8, 9 or
16...... (more later - most likely tomorrow) Section 18 is redundant if you're done the reinstall properly, as it should have corrected any errors in the VMM32.vxd file - and if you haven't done it properly, then the chances are that IE won't work) As far as the tweaking section goes (#19) - most of those programs are not worth the paper that they're written on (before printing!!) I could list the problems, but I consider it a waste of everyone's time. so I'll list the programs worth thinking about ( in the right circumstances!!) Adaware (properly called Ad-Ware, since a program called adaware also floats around, and is a VERY bad thing!) - www.lavsoftusa.com TweakUi - from (and ONLY from) - http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstati.../nttweakui.asp Belarc Advisor from http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html Trend Micro's House Call at http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall ALL of the others are unnecessary and in some cases WILL lead to problems!! If you have problems with Scandisk - find out what's causing the problem, rather than working around it - the chances are that it's slowing your system down anyhow! System Restore should NEVER be removed - although there are circumstances under which it may be appropriate to disable it. CacheMan is an accident waiting to happen (flames, awaitedg) WinRescue is total BS. RamPage WILL kill your system if you give it half a chance etc.... etc.... Really, H - I thought we had you better educated than this!!

Noel,
To be honest I was surprised to see you posting as I thought that you were living it up in Manchester tonight and perhaps posting from someone's laptop in a pub only to then realise that the knees up is tomorrow evening. :-) -- Mike Noel Paton wrote: Yikes!! - so many typos - so little correct! - I'll try that para again!! .....Adaware (properly called Ad-Aware, since a program called adaware also floats around, and is a VERY bad thing!) - www.lavasoftusa.com.......
