.EXE ERROR MESSAGES
My fathers pc is Windows ME. He has Q & A installed and
it performed perfectly well for years. Now when he tries to save a file or close and open another, he gets the error message that the QA.exe file cannot be found. I assumed Q&A was corrupt so deleted it and reinstalled it. Got the same message. Now it seems the Solitaire game that comes with Windows is giving him the message Sol.exe cannot be found. These happen when he clicks on his desktop icons to use these 2 programs. Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated.... am thinking a total reformat might be in order UGHHHHHHHHHH Thanks in advance. |

Wouldn't go that far yet! Go to search files and folders
and type in the name of the files you're looking for. You may find them this way and you can then create a shortcut from that point. If they don't show up from search...you may be looking at a reinstall of ME. That won't require a reformat...just let the cd reinstall the os over the old version. -----Original Message----- My fathers pc is Windows ME.
