Welcome to the bridge to the 21st century that leads only to shark infested waters.\n It's all a plot so that you need to buy more from microsoft and others. Soon the only way to fix it is to buy a new computer. I had the same thing so I purchased window XP and downloaded it on my ME computer (H-P 766mz) Runs a little better but not much.

From Microsoft Windows Update.  \n\nIn Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" / "Windows Update".  And let it do its thing.\n\nBest to you.

There is not one. That is the simple answer. Every "crack" that has come out has ended up with the exact same problem. That being no way to overcome the automatic updates, or updates of any time. The second you get a windows update, the authorization file on your computer gets reverted back and the countdown begins. I have seen most of the cracks, and they are all the same. So the better option is going back to  SP1 which did not include the Windows protection feature like SP2 does.

Windows ME is a little dated nowadays and, to be honest, very quirky.  I would assume you can still get updates for it, but I would check with Microsoft first to confirm this.\n\nMy recommendation is upgrade to XP at the first opportunity, but this also depends on a few factors as well.  I wouldn't recommend trying to install it on anything less than a 700Mhz machine with at least 128Mb memory.\n\nIf you meet that spec, then it should be fairly easy to upgrade our system.  Providing the PC has been set to boot from CD before hard disk (BIOS settings) then it should be a case of inserting the CD and rebooting the computer.  You will be prompted to press a key to boot from CD, so watch for it and press a key when asked.\n\nAfter that, just follow the prompts and XP will be installed.  Make sure you start off prepared though - e.g. ensure you have all the required XP drivers for devices such as Graphics, Sound, Network cards, Motherboard, etc on a CD or USB flash drive. Do that and the installation should go smoothly without hitting too many critical issues.\n\nAfterwards, once you have set up windows and  your internet connection, (make sure you have firewall and anti-virus protection installed) go straight to microsoft and get all the latest updates for your PC.\n\nIt all sounds terribly complicated, but it's not really.  I've shown numerous people how to do this, and now they can install the operating system without my advice or assistance.\n\nSummary : Me is terrible and outdated\n                   XP is the people's choice!\n\nHope this helps.

Try Microsoft updates.

Are you running windows XP or ME? if so, go to start>programs>accesories>system tools>System Restore. Follow the steps and you'll be there in no time.  If you are pre-windows ME, unless you backed it up 3 days ago, you are screwed.  Give us more feedback, so we can help you!\n\nWell, you can try to re-install the windows system instead of a restore.  If I were you, I'd back up my valuable files, wipe the computer clean and install a fresh copy.

Make sure you have the latest service pack for windows, go here to check:\n\nhttp://update.microsoft.com\n\nAlso; are you using enough memory?  If you click control + alt + delete,  check out your total memory and what you have available.  If you're running short, it may be time to upgrade.

you need to get the updates from windows updates, it is probably a security issue

There is insufficient data for windows to open the files. Needs to know what program created the files. \n\nTeaser is just what it says, it is a tease. The other two are self explanatory. \n\nDarryl S.

Set the "Windows Update" at auto. It will update whenever any new updates are available. So you will not have to worry about it.

Hi Maria,\n\nReally, you need to upgrade from ME to XP as soon as you possibly can.  ME is possibly the worst Operating System Microsoft ever came out with.  It is loaded with errors and vulnerabilities.  Until you're able to do this, though, you can try some things suggested in the link I've included below for you that talks about User32.dll errors.  I hope this works for you.\n\nAs far as updating your drivers, just go to the Microsoft Windows Update site (click on Tools, then click on Windows Update).  You'll get all the updates and many of the drivers your computer needs.  For specific drivers, you can go to the specific site for those, such as video drivers, sound cards, etc.\n\nThe ActiveX message isn't that big a deal.  If you are sure of the website that you are using, go ahead and allow the ActiveX control to be loaded.  The only thing that may happen if you don't load it is that the display may not look the way the author intended.  It will not harm your computer in any way.\n\nAgain, though, please upgrade from ME as soon as you can.  You'll be happy you did.  You can get XP Home for less than $100, or XP Pro for something like $185 or so, depending on where you go.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Sorry you don't like it. Here is something I just now found. No guarantees. :) Open your add/remove window in controls and check the box at the top that says "show updates". The go down the list until you get to Windows XP - Software Updates. There should be a line for WMP 11. Actually two lines. At least that is what I have. Try uninstalling now. Like I said no promises. I'm happy with version 11 so I'll stay with it.
