First try running a System Restore. If that doesn't work you will have to boot to the Windows CD and run a "repair installation".

Or uninstall it, play a bit with the registry (which could mess up your pc if you're not familiar with that) and reinstall it. You could also buy it or get a serial number from somewhere.

right click on your start button and choose properties then set your start menu to xp style, you will see icons then.  also, if your task manager is not pulling up, you probably have to much stuff running in the background and your system is struggling with what little memory it has to work with.  Try this:  click on start>Run>type in the open field:  msconfig and click ok.  click on the startup tab at the top and disable all start-up items and then reboot.  i bet your task manager will open then.

Do you mean the Task Manager in windows? Right click an empty space on the taskbar (the bar where the start button is) and click "Task Manager". Or if you use XP and it is set to the welcome screen then press Ctrl + Alt together then press Del on the keyboard. You will see the Task Manager appear or a window. If a window then just click "Task Manager" on that.

I am not exactly sure, but you can try this.\n\nRight click on My Computer and go to Manage. Then click on Services and Applications and then on Services. This is a list of services that Windows runs in the background. Check to see which ones are disabled and see if it has anything to do with the Task Manager. If you want to enable one, you can right-click it.\n\nThe other explanation can be that you don't have access. If you are using a non-Admin user in windows then the Admin user may have locked that access out. If you can logon with the Admin account and go to the User Accounts in the Control Panel, then you can check if the account that you use is limited.

I fyour taskbar's been moved from the original location, you can move it back by right-clicking on any part of it which is tan & unchecking Lock the Toolbars.  Then you can move it wherever you wish.

VERY GOOD IDEA!  ME is crappy.  Just be sure not to forget Service Pack 2 on your new XP machine.  I would recommend you start with a clean install.  Good luck.

If you're using XP, System Restore is a great tool.\n\nGo to Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.  Follow the directions and you're on the way!

It didn't disappear... its still there its just that you have to drag the task bar back up to where it usually is. Point it with your mouse on the bottom then right click on the mouse to drag it back where it use to be......or you can use the windows button on your key board.

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.

Check with Compaq for specific instructions.  But, you can usually do a repair install (of Windows 2000 or XP), and it won't delete all your applications and user settings.
