windows me

[strochine]

I got a desk top from my sister and some one I guess deleted some hardware
off it. I don't know what was deleted, but I can not get on the internet nor
do I have a recovery cd for it. Can anyone help me out on what I can do? The
computer is for my 8 year old and it is just for fun, but she wants on the
internet. Please help!

Try returning the system to a previous configuration by clicking "Start", "Programs",
"Accessories", "System Tools", "System Restore". Also, check the
"C:\Windows\Options\Install" folder for the Windows setup files, which can be
used to reinstall Windows.

If you use dsl or cable you will need a network card.

Dial-up ??? then you will need a modem

Start "My Computer" or "Windows Explorer", double-click "C:",
then the "Windows" folder, the "Options" folder, then the "Install" folder.
Then double-click "setup.exe".

Careful now. There are certain precautions that MUST be taken before
reinstalling Win Me over itself in the way you suggest including
uninstalling IE6 (if installed) and likewise renaming wmploc.dll to
wmploc.old if Windows Media Player 9 is installed.

However reinstalling Win Me because of an inability to connect to the
internet without first obtaining more details is, I feel, somewhat
extreme.

Did you check "Device Manager" to see what's there and what is not?

A Linksys wireless card is good, but, if you don't have a wireless router it
is just "tits on a boar hog." Get yourself a copy of Belarc Advisor (free)
and it will profile the computer telling you exactly what you have,
including software and Windows updates. Everest is another good app, also
free. Google for a download location.

As far as getting on the Net, you haven't even mentioned what kind of
connection you have. Are you on dial-up, DSL, cable, satellite, etc.??

Like Mike, I think running Windows setup is just a tad extreme before
knowing with what you are contending.

Heirloom, old and I wouldn't go
there

Hi Joanie!!!
Haven't heard from you or the WWOTN in ages. Hope you both are
doing well.....I believe Figglet is finally getting over all of her dental
woes, that's good. I figured you and she were off on vacation (holiday)
somewhere! <g>.

ROFL!!!!! It took me a minute or two to decipher that acronym of the
Loon's and he is in big trouble!! A blast of cold air is on the way.

And yes, we are friggin' freezing up here. 10 below C yesterday, I
believe. I didn't go out. And a week of rain/snow/sleet/ice ahead. I
say, is this London weather?? Or North Pole......

I think it would only be fair if I went down to Texas to recuperate, eh?
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, dental wise. Bridge is in
and it was giving me trouble, but he shaved off a micron or so and my
bite is ever so much better. Could even eat one of those Texas steaks,
I think.

Jewellery business is purring along. I not only am selling a few
pieces, but am taking orders!! Blows me away, it does. Bought a bunch
of semi-precious gems the other day.....mostly for Elayne and myself.
But I will sell them probably. All in golds, browns, rusts and
turquoise. E. is designing business cards for me. The selling caught
me by surprise cuz I wasn't ready for that. But getting there.

Maybe I will take another shot at taking pictures (pun intended, groan).
But E. is the expert, so may wait for her arrival on the 15th of
December.

Cheers to all.......Figglet

Come on down and warm up, Figgs. Besides, you don't even need teeth to eat
one of my steaks!

It's not that bad here at the moment, we've had some sunshine today but
there are a few grey clouds floating about but at least when it's cloudy it
isn't as cold <g>
