TIPS

GOOGLE TOOLBAR

You use Google as a search engine, right? It’s certainly become my single favorite search engine over the last few months. But do you know about the “Googlebar?” I’d overlooked this feature until my friend Alaska Joe showed it to me a couple of weeks ago when he and his amazing wife Sue were in Southern California for the OnComputers Geek Meet.

The Google toolbar installs into your browser. Like any other toolbar, it can be clicked on or off as you wish. It has a Google search window right next to two very useful buttons. One of those buttons searches Google with your search query. The other button searches the site you’re actually visiting at the moment. In other words, it gives you a site search for any site at all you might visit — provided that Google has spidered the site.

As you may know, since I mention it often enough, I’m quite proud of my site search engine. It’s always entirely current — within a few minutes lag at most — on all information on my site. But even with that in place, I find I use the Google toolbar to search my own site as often as not. It’s particularly useful because if I don’t happen to find the answer I want on the site I’m visiting, I just click the button right next to it and search all of Google.

The Googlebar has some other great features. It’s definitely a cool tool that makes life easier on the World Wide Web.


HOW DO YOU READ EXPORTED WINDOWS XP REGISTRY FILES?

Windows XP has a Registry Editor (REGEDIT or REGEDT32) just like every version of Windows 9x. The problem is, when you export a Registry key, then open the file and examine the code, it’s not in text format. You can’t read it. They’ve encrypted it or something. Bummer!

But, being able to export Registry keys and edit them into .REG files (for example) is so handy, what can one do about this? You just need to go one more step. When you click File | Export, also click to pull down the “Save as Type” list. Pick a text file if you wish, or — my favorite — Win9x/NT4 Registration Files. You’ll get exactly what you’re used to seeing from Windows 95, 98, and ME RegEdit exports.

WINDOWS SUPPORT SITES

SITE OF THE WEEK:
PLATINUM WEBWORX by Russ Chinoy

You won’t find Russ Chinoy’s name on my Windows Support Sites page; rather, he’s on the My Favorite Freeware page, as the author of QuoteClip, which he wrote a seeming-lifetime ago (even before Windows 95 existed!). If you drop Russ’ name into your favorite Web search engine, you’ll probably find quite a few hits, mostly because, in Ye Olde Days, Russ wrote several handy little utilities that made people’s computing lives easier. QuoteClip is one example. I use it daily!

I’m highlighting Russ’ professional Web page as this issue’s “Site of the Week” both out of gratitude for his past contributions to the world of computer users, and because it’s a pretty cool site that I think will interest many of you.

Y’see, these days, Russ is in a new line of work. He isn’t writing many programs. Instead, he’s designing Web pages. His Platinum WebWorX site is quite lovely. Targeting the Web design needs of small and medium-sized businesses, it’s motto is, “Making Internet Dreams a Reality...” If you’re interested in Web design, there’s probably something of interest — something for you to learn, too — on this site. If you have need of Web design services, you might consider giving Russ a shot. He’s a good guy with a good track record, and I like giving back to giving people!


DOUG KNOX IS NOW DOUGKNOX.COM Doug Knox

You’ve seen MS-MVP Doug Knox’s site listed on mine for quite a while now. Recently, it moved, so I updated the links to www.dougknox.com. If you haven’t been to his page (or haven’t been there in a while), go check out his VB scripts for cosmetic, security, utility, and other purposes. Click on his Cosmetic Tweaks link to get one of the funniest Windows splash screens in all Windowdom! (Who says MVP’s other than Tom Ferguson have no sense of humor?) His Security page has over 20 security scripts of lesser and greater impact. He also has a growing collection of Windows XP “Tweaks & Fixes,” based on the Beta, such as one to lock your XP work station. Definitely worth a visit, IMHO!


MORE SITE BUILDING & MANAGEMENT SITES

Links to the following sites have been added to the HTML Tutorials & Resources section:

How to Write Readable & Maintainable ASP Scripts
Another MSKB article on the subject, joining the beginner’s ASP article that’s already there.

If you’d like to see the strangest, seemingly off-topic page I’ve ever seen link to my Windows Support Center site, click here. (It’s not a strange page. It’s just strange that it links to me.)

WINDOWS “HOW TO” ARTICLES

STARTUP PROGRAM LOADING: Which Ones Shall I Keep?

My friend and fellow MS-MVP, Ron Martell, made an excellent suggestion a few weeks ago. It concerned my page titled Startup Program Loading: Where do things load from? How to you stop them? This page describes the 11 (or more) places from which programs can be launched at Windows startup, and also the four locations that primarily launch drivers. Ron pointed out that a lot of questions arise about exactly which items one should let Windows load.

This is an increasingly important question — not so much due to Windows, but due, even more, to OEMs. Manufacturers of full computer systems add lots of extras to the systems they build. If we give them the benefit of the doubt, they are adding these utilities and other programs because they think doing so will improve your computing experience; but we also know that quite a bit is due to contracted product placement. You should have control over whether or not to leave these in place. To make smart decisions, you need to know what startup items are basic to Windows, and which ones are not.

Ron recommended a couple of sites that do a good job of cataloging typical (and even atypical) startup items, and providing the information you need for deciding what to do about them. I’ve added these to the bottom of the “Startup Program Loading” page. The page has also been restructured for greater ease of use, and other startup-related information resources added.

REGISTRY PATCHES

WARNING: DO NOT USE WIN 9x REGISTRY PATCHES IN WIN XP

To many of you, the advice in the headline above will be obvious. But to at least one very bright, well-trained professional this last week, it was not. Sometimes we all do things we know better than to do, and in this case the user applied one of my Windows 98 Registry patches to her Windows XP system without even backing up the Registry first. It made her system unbootable.

I was able to give her an easy way to recover, but that’s not the point. The point is that the problem arose in the first place, despite several layers of warnings posted on the page in question and included in the file she downloaded from me. So, I’ve decided to address this, first, by making the advisories on the Registry Patches page even stronger, and adding specific instructions on how to backup Windows XP’s Registry. I also decided to mention the matter here, so that more people would see it:

The Registry patches that I provide, unless marked otherwise, have not been tested in Windows XP. Most of them would be expected not to work correctly in Windows XP, because XP has a different Registry structure.


COME ENJOY THE NEW WIN XP REGISTRY PATCHES!

Having written the above, I have a Part 2 to the announcement: You will start seeing more XP-specific Registry patches appearing on the page. The first was a gift to me from site visitor Pia Holm, who adapted the popular “Send to X Fix” patch to XP’s particular needs. (Thanks, Pia!) She also got me motivated, in the middle of a very busy week, to start adapting more of the existing Registry patches to be XP-specific. At the moment, there are only a couple more; but, in the near future, I’ll be adding more. Just be sure to look for the bright green XP on the label!

KB ARTICLES: Specific Commands

SYSTEM RESTORE INFO & TROUBLESHOOTING ARTICLES

“System Restore” was introduced in Windows Millennium Edition. It is the powerful feature which, in my [retired] article “Which Windows Do I Choose?” I described as “something theoretically approaching a button for, ’Ooh! my system got kablooied, please put it back the way it was before I broke it.’” Until recently, Win ME was the only version of Windows to have this; but the feature now has been incorporated into Windows XP also. In fact, in the regrettable absence of the SCANREG utility or an equivalent, System Restore is XP’s only built-in way to manually back up the Registry and other startup definition files.

So far, only one of the System Restore articles in the MS Knowledge Base has been edited to specifically mention Windows XP. In the near future, more will receive this touch, I am sure. In the meantime, if you are thoughtful and cautious, you can probably apply many of these solutions to any System Restore problems you may experience not only in ME, but in XP as well.

I have, therefore, added over a dozen new links to MSKB articles on System Restore. Accordingly, I’ve moved them off of the dedicated Win ME section of the site, and mainstreamed them onto the Commands, Utilities & Files page. Here are the new ones that have been added:

Description of the System Restore Utility in Windows ME
How to Enable and Disable System Restore
How to Start the System Restore Tool From a Command Prompt
Three solid, basic, helpful articles to introduce you to System Restore, explain how it works, how to turn it on and off, and how to access it in an emergency situation.

Computer May Not Restart After Unsuccessful System Restore with Drive Overlay Software Installed
Computer May Not Start Properly After You Use a System Restore Point
Two similar, but quite distinct, scenarios. The first pertains to restart immediately following a System Restore that went bad, if you are using drive overlay software. The second deals with startup problems if you had SurfWatch installed, later uninstalled it, and then did a System Restore of a restore point created while SurfWatch was still installed. This problem looks worse than it is, because its error message actually advises that you may have to reinstall Windows. That isn’t really required — there’s a repair you can do, and the article provides it.

System Restore Points May Not Be Created for Hardware Device Driver Installations
Usually, Windows handles this issue fine. But if a particular device driver installer or utility installer doesn’t support creating restore points, the above problem will result. Microsoft recommends that if a device driver or utility installation causes the system to become unstable or exhibit errors after installation, the preferred method is to use the installer/uninstaller that came with the utility to remove the software from the system, rather than using System Restore to back up before its installation.

System Restore Removes Files During a Restore Procedure
It’s supposed to work this way. Read the article to learn the exact rules. You can get your removed files back by undoing the last System Restore.

Error Message Occurs When Attempting to Use System Restore
The error message in question is: “System Restore has been turned off. To turn on System Restore, open the System Properties in Control Panel, and then click the Performance tab. Click File System, click the Troubleshooting tab, and then clear the Disable System Restore check box.” This means that there isn’t enough room on the hard drive (200 MB free at minimum) to create the restore point.

System Restore May Not Properly Restore Attributes to Files
This is a bug. It doesn’t track file attributes correctly, so it can’t restore them correctly. GIGO.

Unable to Access the System Restore Buttons If Screen Resolution is 800x600 or Less
If you use the accessibility tool Magnifier, and screen resolution is 800 x 600 pixels or less, all of the System Restore box won’t fit on the screen. You won’t have access to the buttons at the bottom. Keystroke workarounds are given.

Error Message “RSTRUI has caused an error in RSTRUI.EXE” When Starting System Restore or Creating a Manual Restore Point
Your computer’s system date is set for the year 2038 or later. That breaks System Restore. This article gives the somewhat involved steps to fix things so they work correctly. (You know what’s really bizarre? That enough people had their system date set for 2038 or later that this became a big enough problem to warrant a KB article on how to fix it!)

“System Restore Cannot Run Until You Restart the Computer”
If you get this message, restart your computer, then try System Restore again. Most likely, you have made some changes on your computer (such as a software install) that require a reboot to finish, and that reboot is still pending. System Restore is playing it safe — you should, too.

System Restore Shows Date of Saturday, December 30, 1899
This means that you have a really old computer. Heck, it’s probably not even a Pentium Pro! I’m surprised it runs Windows at all! Personally, I didn’t even have a hard drive in 1899. That’s what your problem is. Your computer is too darn old!!

Seriously, folks... This problem is the result of a Registry error. Read the article first, to educate yourself on the problem. Then, backup your Registry. After doing both, click here to download a Registry patch to effect this repair. NOTE: All details of this Registry file do match a healthy Windows XP Registry, so I deem this file Win XP safe. However, no Registry file from any source is safe without a Registry backup preceding it! Verb. sap.!

KB ARTICLES: Control Panel

“Unable to Load Language Resources” Error Message When You Attempt to Open Control Panel
Win98, Win98 SE, Win ME
If you click to open Control Panel and get the error message, “Unable to Load Language Resources,” you probably have an ATI display adapter installed in your computer. The ATI video card isn’t the problem per se; but, in installing the card, you very likely installed the wrong language version of the ATI Multimedia Center. This article tells how to fix the problem.

KB ARTICLES: Error Messages

IEXPLORE caused an Invalid Page Fault in module MCSCAN32.DLL Win98, Win98 SE
MCSCAN32.DLL is a component of McAfee VirusScan. If this program is installed, you may get this error message when you launch Internet Explorer if the named file is damaged, or if you have the wrong version of the file. Solution? Uninstall, then reinstall, McAfee. If that doesn’t solve it, contact McAfee. If that doesn’t work, contact Symantec!


ICWCONN1 caused an Invalid Page Fault in module ICWCONN1.EXE Win98, Win98 SE
Windows 98 (Original Flavour) comes with Internet Explorer 4.0 built in. (Win98 SE comes with IE 5.0.) If you have Win98 installed, you have upgraded to a later version of IE, and then you reinstall Win98 on top of itself (what I call an “over-install”) without first uninstalling the IE upgrade, you might get this error message — provided you meet the one other condition, that the IEMIGRAT.DLL file has been renamed. (Does anyone know why anyone would rename this? It sounds like the kind of thing that would have been recommended to fix some other problem.)

To solve the problem, extract a clean copy of the ICWCONN1.EXE file from your Windows CD-ROM, placing it in the C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\CONNEC~1 folder. (The article gives step-by-step instructions for this.)


Exception 0E... in VXDNDIS... Win98, Win98 SE, Win ME
If you connect to the Internet with an older version of EnterNet 300 Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet (PPPoE), and it is configured to use the Filter driver, you can encounter an error condition in VXDNDIS when trying to connect to the Internet. To resolve the issue, upgrade EnterNet to a different version, change the configuration, or use another method of connecting to the Internet.

There are some unfortunate problems with this article which, fortunately, probably won’t interfere with your using it. The first is actually not a problem with the article but, rather, with the error message that it correctly quotes: The implicated filename is not VXDNDIS, but NDIS.VXD. A space is missing. No biggie, I suppose, because it doesn’t change the solution. The other one — pardon me for being picky, but Microsoft really should get these right! — is that the article lists the error as OE (the letter O, followed by E, as if it were the abbreviation of “Outlook Express”), whereas the error message really says 0E (the numeral zero, followed by E: the hex representation of the number 14). Nor is this the only MSKB article to write OE when it should say 0E. How can we expect users to get this right if MS doesn’t?

I voice this complaint with simultaneous high respect for the staff that keeps the enormous MS Knowledge Base going. This is arguably the largest and most useful information base on earth for microcomputer solutions. They deserve, and get, my gratitude almost every day of my life. That being said, the frequent substitution of OE for 0E is simply wrong and should be fixed wherever it occurs. The good news is that MS, anticipating this problem in their users, has rigged their MSKB search engines so that the right article will be pulled to a match list whether the user types OE or 0E. Well, at least most of the time!

KB ARTICLES: Hardware & Drivers

How to Install New Hardware in Windows Win95, Win98, Win98 SE, Win ME
How to Troubleshoot Hardware Device Drivers Win95, Win98, Win ME
Two excellent, helpful articles on the most fundamental questions anyone ever has about hardware: how to install it, and what to do if it doesn’t work. I’ve added these to the site as part of a basic “tool chest” for addressing hardware issues.

Missing Display Options in Display Property SheetWin95, Win98, Win ME
Did you ever try to change the Desktop Area setting in Display Properties and find that you didn’t have some video resolutions available that you knew should be possible? For example, only possible resolutions of 640 x 480 x 256 and 800 x 600 x 16 were given, and you just know your video card can do better than that? This article tells how to deal with that problem.

How to Use Registry Editor to Identify an Unknown PCI Device Win98, Win98 SE, Win ME
When you find an “Unknown Device” listed in Device Manager, do you sometimes have trouble figuring out what it is? The information you need is probably in the Windows Registry. This article tells how to extract it. It’s a great hardware troubleshooting aid!

Partitioning Summary MS-DOS, Win95
I bet I know what you’re thinking right about now. “Why in the world do I want to know about DOS and Win95 partitioning right now?” The answer is that most of the information applies to later Windows operating systems as well. If you don’t know how Windows handles partitions, drive letter assignments, etc., you may find your answer here.

KB ARTICLES: Internet Explorer

“Shortcut to Desktop” Command Doesn’t Work When Office Document Is Open in IE
IE 5.01 SP2 or IE 5.5 SP1 for Win 2000, with Office XP
This problem appears to be very version-specific. In Office XP, with some versions of Internet Explorer, the File | Send | Shortcut to Desktop menu command in the Office XP application doesn’t work. It’s a bug. The workaround is to manually create the shortcut.

However, the version of this workaround given in the article is a little tedious. I recommend, instead, this much simpler method: Find your document in Windows Explorer. Right click on it and drag it to the desktop. When you release the mouse button, choose the “Create Shortcut” option.

KB ARTICLES: Speed & Performance Issues

Poor Performance from CD-ROM-Based Program Win95, Win98, Win98 SE, Win ME
If your CD-ROM drive doesn’t seem to be performing optimally — audio or video playback skips, or the drive just seems to work slower than it should — a possible cause is that the CD-ROM drive’s Supplemental Cache Size and Optimize Access Pattern For settings aren’t set correctly. You can check these settings in System Properties | Performance | File System | CD-ROM. This article walks you through the check and fix. The recommended settings may surprise some people.

KB ARTICLES: Windows ME, 2000 & XP

SOME WIN XP ARTICLES ARE NOW IN THE KB

Windows XP articles are starting to appear in the Microsoft Knowledge Base — but you have to be sneaky to find them, because Windows XP hasn’t been added to the “My Search is About” field’s product list. Instead, you need to choose “–All Microsoft Products–” (near the top of the product list), pick “Keyword search using EXACT PHRASE,” and then put the phrase “Windows XP” in the “My Question Is” box. (Whether or not you use quotation marks makes no difference — at least, on the 43 items that have appeared this week.)

Unfortunately, despite this careful procedure, you also will get some Office XP articles that have no direct reference to Windows XP. At the present match list size, that’s not too bad of a problem. The resulting list lets us see where the KB’s XP documentation is heading. So far, most of the articles marked as Widows XP articles are Windows 2000 (or other OS) items that are being converted over. That’s no surprise, and, in fact, is what I fully expected to happen.

Another group of new Windows XP articles pertains to problems the new OS is having with MSN and its components. The ones I have seen refer to the current Beta versions of Win XP, and are expected to be resolved by release time, so I’m going to break my normal policy and list these here in The E-List, even though I’m not otherwise adding them to the site. (I’m hoping they won’t be around long enough for it to matter.) They’ll still come up on the match list when you use the site search engine, or when you search my site using Google.

Here are three Windows XP / MSN articles you might want to check out:


SYSTEM RESTORE ISSUES IN WIN ME & WIN XP

One MSKB article, System Restore Removes Files During a Restore Procedure, actually states that it is intended for Win XP as well as Win ME. (You have to read the last paragraph on the page to learn this.) But many other System Restore KB articles probably have apply to XP also. (As stated elsewhere, don’t assume that Registry patches for Win 9x apply to XP.) If you’re having a System Restore problem with XP, I suggest you check all of the System Restore articles just added to the “Commands, Utilities & Files” page, discussed earlier in this newsletter

KB ARTICLES: Windows Setup

SUWIN caused a GPF in 256_1280.DRV Win95, Win98
In case you haven’t caught on by now, SUWIN stands for SetUp WINdows. SUWIN errors are always Windows setup errors. Several things can cause this particular one when you are setting up Windows 95 or 98, including any of the following:

See the article for specific steps to fix each of these situations. I’d like to make a couple of other, more global suggestions, though: Whenever you have the choice (which is almost always), don’t install or upgrade Windows from inside of Windows. Do it from a startup (or boot) floppy diskette that is able to access your CD-ROM drive. (Test it before you count on it!) Also, it you are doing an upgrade, disable all startup program launching before rebooting to the startup floppy, so that your normal startup items won’t launch at any phase of the Windows upgrade installation. These two precautions keep you out of trouble in several ways — including the fact that they automatically avoid about half of the problems above.

Additionally, while some memory management software may have value in Windows 95, I have yet to see any memory management software that has any positive value at all in Windows 98 or later; and I question most of it in Win95.

And, again speaking broadly and generally, it’s a good idea not to rely on BIOS-level virus protection. Instead, get the most reliable antivirus software package you can find, keep it updated, and use it! Don’t mix your hardware’s built-in virus screening with the third party antivirus software. Always disable all virus screening whatsoever when installing any program. (Why? Because part of its job is to detect, and in many cases prevent, certain changes to your computer — changes you commonly want to make when installing a program.) If you have any suspicion that the program may have a virus, Trojan, worm, or other malicious code in it, then, first of all, I would have to question why you want to install it in the first place; but, presuming you do, then you should run your virus check on the program files before installing, and then run it again, on your whole system, after the installation. But don’t run the virus protection during the installation unless you want to risk a bad install.


Missing Operating System After Setup Restarts Your Computer Win95
Here’s the scenario: You’ve just installed Windows 95 on your computer. You’re terribly excited about being able, in a few minutes, to begin working with this cool new operating system! (Hey, work with me a little, OK?) You reboot the computer and see the words... “Missing Operating System.” Hey, didn’t you just spend an hour putting an operating system on it? What gives?!

The error message, by the way, could also be, “Invalid System Disk.” And, when either of these appears, the computer won’t startup from the hard drive at all.

Causing this strange and disturbing scene is an error in the Partition Boot Record (PBR) of your hard drive. It isn’t correctly reporting the number of read/write heads. The solution is to pull out your trusty boot floppy (officiously and imprecisely called the “Emergency Startup Disk”) and use the SYS C: command to rewrite the system boot information to the hard drive. (If you don’t have a Win95 boot floppy, you can use one from an earlier operating system just to get going, but you’ll then have to reinstall Win95, too.)

By the way, this problem is only known to occur on Leading Edge Fortiva 5000 computers. But it’s always possible it could occur on others, and the basic technique in the article is a good one to know — it comes in handy in several other situations, also.
