Thanks guys. All sorted now. Cheers.
-
Thanks Mike. But unless I'm being very stupid (which is more than possible, admitedly), that doesn't tell me why the icon appears in my system tray. (I'm a free-version user.) It simply tells me that it shouldn't be there - but it is there.
-
The Ad-Aware icon appears in the system tray when I turn on my laptop. This has only just started happening - does it need to be there? I have been into msconfig and unchecked the box in the start-up programs list, but when I then reboot it reappears in the list and the icon reappears in the system tray. Does anyone know why?
-
I have Media Player Classic installed. Does that mean I can delete Windows Media Player from my system?
-
And is a dual boot arrangement easy to set up?
-
Just tried that, but get the same error message. I'm guessing I've hit a brick wall here - or is there any way of downloading another program that is similar to MS DOS?
-
Yep - that's exactly when it happens.
-
Actually, that doesn't look right - shouldn't the screen shot have appeared there?
-
Thanks, fieryone. Here it is - let me know if you want me to send screenshots of any of the sub-folders. <a href="http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=image1rz0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/9948/image1rz0.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a>

Don't laugh, but I don't know how to do screenshots. But tell me what to do, and I'll post one!

Andavari - I see what you mean now. Anyway, I right-clicked and went into Explore, and a whole load of icons appeared. But none of them would work when I tried to click them - and again, I got told to install MS DOS. BrownSugar - This is what I have downloaded: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en Perhaps that's why I'm having problems - maybe what I thought was DOS isn't DOS.

Hi guys, and thanks for your help so far. I know I sound like a complete idiot, but I'm lost here. I don't quite understand what I'm looking for. Andavari - I've right-clicked and it opens up a load of icons, but I'm not sure what I need to do with them. CeeCee - Thanks for the screenshot, but I'm not clear what I need to be doing. Please bear with me here! I thought that by downloading MS DOS, I could simply run a CD that worked fine aon my old computer a decade ago! I don't quite know where sub-folders and file names come into this.
-
CeeCee - if I double click the CD drive, it just tries to start the installation of the features . . . and then says I need MS DOS. Hi Andavari - it's a music CD that contains some interactive features, calling itself a "CD Extra". It's been some years since I accessed the interactive stuff on an old PC, but I seem to remember it contained things such as being able to make your own mixes of some of the songs etc.
-
I don't understand what you mean by changing drive. The way to run the program is to insert the CD, and then it should run automatically. But it just keeps saying I need to install MS DOS 6.2, even though I already have. I don't know what the program is called so I don't know what to type.
-
Hi CeeCee I'm a bit confused. The program I want to run is on the CD.
-
I am trying to access special computer features that are on a music CD that was released in 1997. I got a message saying I needed to install MS DOS 6.2, so I visited the Microsoft Downloads website and downloaded it. It seemed to go OK, and I've now got a load of new icons on my desktop. But when I tried to launch the software on the CD, I again got a message that I needed to install DOS 6.2 or higher. Any ideas?
-
Hi, and thanks for your help. Yes - I have tried that but it still doesn't wipe the auto-complete from my Medion homepage. I'm using the latest Internet Explorer, BTW.
-
Hi - thanks for the advice. However, I tried it but it hasn't helped. Any other ideas?
-
I used to have MSN Messenger installed, but I have now removed it. However, despite running CCleaner and also manually deleting auto-complete history, when I try to log into my Medion router homepage, the drop-down menu includes auto-complete options for the two e-mail addresses I used to use for MSN Messenger. (Even though these addresses were never used for my Medion router page.) Are there some auto-complete details that are not deleted by CCleaner, and is there any way to delete them entirely?
-
In System Configuration in the Startup tab, there are a number of applications that I can have run at startup. But the list includes some entries for programs that are no longer on my computer. This doesn't particularly bother me, but how do I get rid of them from this list?
