Hi,

I recently had this problem with a "me pc" and I discovered that the guy had
been using some of those download managers previously.  When I checked the
list of running apps in the background I found a program running called
"msbb.exe" which I took out and this seemed to fix the problem.
I'm not sure what that file was so didn't delete it but just took it out of
the  area where it would be set to run from.

Paul.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Browsing Woes


Hi,
I am helping a friend with a problem. He runs a Duron 800 with
64 meg RAM running Windws ME, IE5.5 and OE5.  Suddenly he
can not use email or browse.  I have spent considerable time with
the help desk at his ISP.  It appears that if I have the numerical
DNS (ie 203.16.233.7) the email and browser works fine (for that
specific page!). Neither program will recognize www.yahoo.com for
example.  All I get from the iSP is that "we don't use ME so are not
sure".
 Can someone assist? Is the problem "ME" or is there some
 other cause?

 Thanks
 Rick
