Windows Forum / Windows Me / System Tools / March 2007Help with Windows 2000
My 12 yr old daughter use Windows Me for her School reports and a few games installed but no internet use but she loves to draw and save in Wallpaper and screensaver and this last drawing of a flowers has locked her system up and we do not have to CD and would like to know if it is possible to buy a new one we are the original owners of PC but after trying to restore it to a earlier time nothing is removing the error message we are getting and we are not able to do anything on it nor remove any programs or get into a program any help you can give us is greatly needed. jaymom wrote :- > .... nothing is removing the error message It might help if you were to tell us (exactly) what that error message says. How did you previously 'try to restore it to a earlier time' - using System Restore? Have you tried booting into Safe Mode (F8 or Ctrl key during start-up) and do you still get the same error report? (You may be able to 'Undo my last restoration' in System Restore if you are able to get it to work in Safe Mode and you think that it might help) Also, it *may* also be possible to make yourself a (WinMe) CD once you've sorted this problem out - and assuming that the PC has a CD writer fitted and installed on it!! - But that's for later.

Thanks Mart It seems everytime I turn this computer on it's another error message here are a few of the messages: MNKEYBD has caused an error in Mmkey.bd will now close. 2. Not enough memory to start MMUSBKB2.EXE. quit somerograms and then try again. 3. Not enough memory to start c:\windows\System\wininet.DLL. 4. There is not enough memory to start CRYPT32.DLL. 5. Not enough memory to start c:\program Files\NETROP\on screendisplay\OSD.EXE 6. runtime error Program c:\windows\delayrun.EXE R6028 unable to initialized heap and on my tool bar it shows ERROR STARTING PROGRAM Now the IE has error Explorers has caused error in Kernel 32.DLL They are a few more errors showing so it seems I'm causing more problems then solving anything. I tried to go into programs and it says empty cannot go in to my control panel either any help I can get is greatlt needed. jaymom > jaymom wrote :- > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > program > > any help you can give us is greatly needed. You certainly have problems jaymom! - most (I suspect) are hardware/driver issues, especially with your USB keyboard (and mouse?) and possibly memory or even hard drive issues. Too far away to be more precise. NETROP? should that be NETROPA? My first suggestion would be to revert to a standard ps/2 or serial keyboard and mouse (the originals?) and see if that helps. Also, you need a WinMe Startup floppy disk (if you ever had one? # see later) to see how your pc behaves in Real Mode DOS and then do some memory testing - and even confirm that your HDD is good. 'delayrun.exe' would appear to be a Hewlett Packard test program - see:- http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/delayrun/ I have no knowledge of this utility so can't really help with it. However, I guess therefore that you seem to have an HP computer (OEM) and that *might* explain why you haven't got a WinMe CD. Unfortunately, you may have to consult HP as to how to proceed further. # As you are the 'original owners' of the PC, do you still have the User Manual and stuff which came with the PC? There may be some guidance there. Mart > Thanks Mart > [quoted text clipped - 62 lines] >> > program >> > any help you can give us is greatly needed. Thanks Mart Going to give HP A call to see if they can assist me any further. Yes it should be NETROPA. The mouse and keyboard are the original ones that came with computer, I did switch keyboards to see if that was part of my problem and I'm pretty sure it is part of it. Thanks for your help and input and if HP can assist me. I will post my outcome. Otherwise I will just throw it out on trash day since Microsoft adviced me to upgrade it to XP home and with the cost I will do better to buy a new one. I have XP home and Professional not ready for Vista just yet. > You certainly have problems jaymom! - most (I suspect) are hardware/driver > issues, especially with your USB keyboard (and mouse?) and possibly memory [quoted text clipped - 87 lines] > >> > program > >> > any help you can give us is greatly needed. Good luck with HP but my guess is that you may find that you have to pay for help with what I suspect is by now, an out-of-warranty system. > ... Otherwise I will just throw it out > on trash day ... If you do, don't forget to put a hammer thru' the hard drive first! - Identity theft and all that!! Mart > Thanks Mart > Going to give HP A call to see if they can assist me any further. Yes it [quoted text clipped - 124 lines] >> >> > program >> >> > any help you can give us is greatly needed. You are so right. Hp was unable to get me a Win/Me CD. I have worked on this for the past two days and get it to do better each time but it still seems I need to reinstall windows so my last question to you will be is it possible for me to install a New Win/Me, Win/Me upgrade or XP Home successfully with the one error I can't get off not enough memory to run this program or I would still have the same problem. My daughter has been in tears since yesterday when I told her we would have to get rid of the computer since it was the last gift my deceased brother gave her and it's her memory of him. > Good luck with HP but my guess is that you may find that you have to pay for > help with what I suspect is by now, an out-of-warranty system. [quoted text clipped - 135 lines] > >> >> > program > >> >> > any help you can give us is greatly needed. jaymom, Yes, it is 'possible' - but not recommended to over-install. (I would forget trying to install XP on your old machine). But that really is a personal decision and from here, my guess is that you are somewhat of a novice and therefore you might have more than a little difficulty in knowing how to 'start-over' with a clean installation. You might even need professional assistance. Bear in mind that WinMe is obsolete and now almost 7 years old and is no longer supported by Microsoft, not to mention that your computer is probably of a similar age (and hardware does wear out!) - and is obviously no longer supported by HP. You might find that all the trouble and expense incurred in trying to 'repair' your existing machine (and you'd *still* have an old, obsolete machine!) approaches the cost of a relatively inexpensive 'brand new' one with an up to date operating system and at least a couple of years warranty. > .. I have worked on > this for the past two days ... Hmm.. you might even find that you spend more time repairing it than you do using it - educational and interesting as that may be <g> >> > ... Otherwise I will just throw it out >> > on trash day ... Your suggestion, not mine! However, if you do decide to attempt to proceed with a repair, then by all means re-visit the WinMe newsgroups and I'm sure there will be some friendly advice available to talk-you-thru'. But first, you'll need to get a copy of the WinMe CD - try ebay, local computer shows, or second-hand shops, etc. Once armed with the CD (and a legitimate 25 digit key code!), only then can you proceed. In the meantime, you might wish to look at :- "Uninstalling and Reinstalling IE - In Windows ME" http://www.crashfixpc.com/ReInIE.htm to give you a flavour of what might be involved.
