Re: Fixes For WindowsME & 896688?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

No harm in applying the directions from Tech Support. It might work. They're

Another thing... I wrote up my situation to a microsoft tech guy over the
weekend and he sent me an email with specific instructions on how to fix
this
problem here or so it is guidelines... Now heres my question... should i
listen to him or to you... All i care about is having this fixed and i think
we can all agree ? Appreciate your thoughts/concerns/input on this.
