[Ad-Aware 2007]

Thanks guys. All sorted now.

 

Cheers.

[Ad-Aware 2007]

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.

[Ad-Aware 2007]

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?

[Windows Media Player]

I have Media Player Classic installed. Does that mean I can delete Windows Media Player from my system?

[MS DOS 6.2]

And is a dual boot arrangement easy to set up?

[MS DOS 6.2]

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?

[MS DOS 6.2]

Yep - that's exactly when it happens.

[MS DOS 6.2]

Actually, that doesn't look right - shouldn't the screen shot have appeared there?

[MS DOS 6.2]

Thanks, fieryone.

 

Here it is - let me know if you want me to send screenshots of any of the sub-folders.

[MS DOS 6.2]

Don't laugh, but I don't know how to do screenshots.

 

But tell me what to do, and I'll post one!

[MS DOS 6.2]

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.

[MS DOS 6.2]

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.

[MS DOS 6.2]

Take a look at this screenshot from Command Prompt: http://xs217.xs.to/xs217/07286/Clipboadsrd01.jpg

 

I have first changed drive letter to match my cd-drive. With command cd <folder name>, i can access sub-folder (if any). With just command dir, you see what files are in the current drive/folder, i.e. H: dir. If there's in example file demo, you can start it just using that file name.

[MS DOS 6.2]

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.

[MS DOS 6.2]

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.

[MS DOS 6.2]

Hi CeeCee

 

I'm a bit confused. The program I want to run is on the CD.

[MS DOS 6.2]

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?

[auto-complete]

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.

[auto-complete]

Hi - thanks for the advice.

 

However, I tried it but it hasn't helped.

 

Any other ideas?

[auto-complete]

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?

[msconfig]

I've not used this myself canary but have a look here.

That's brilliant. It works perfectly. Thanks!

[msconfig]

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?

[eMule]

ok, what is the make and model of the router? and did you get emule from the link i gave you?

 

Yep - I uninstalled eMule and reinstalled it via the link you sent.

 

My router is a Medion MDWLAN 140

[eMule]

Hi - thanks for your help. It's much appreciated.

 

I've downloaded eMule and I've got a router. But when you start talking about "static IPs", that's when I get lost. I'm not sure what that means.

[eMule]

I can try to help you, but I am not much good at being a teacher here. I was able to finally get mine all set up. I'll post later as I have to go out now, but I will try to give you the steps in setting it up.

 

Cheers!
