Re: [MBZ] ebay WTF??
Kaleb, et al. The restore feature has it's own pitfalls. Some virii write themselves into the restored file and are difficult to remove, for, as soon as you rid the computer of an infection the good old windows restore feature, restores the virus. Turn off the restore feature and thoroughly clean the disk. This will break the clean,restore, virus-re-infect, clean, virus etc. chain. YMMV Fred Moir Lynn MA You already have the MBZ bug.

[MBZ] O.T. Computer Trauma/Stuff Running in Background
How can I, the biggest computer maladroit any of you know, figure out what
should be running on this machine when it is turned on?
One issue: It is lately stupid slow (it is, btw, an HP Pavilion 555y), lots
of freezing up ("program not responding"). Another is it takes almost four
minutes on start up before you can do anything and those four minutes are
spent with the hard drive churning non-stop, little light full on. Another
issue: the kids somehow got my space, my space messenger, windows live
messenger, aim, and something else to open every time I start this machine.
I have to sit and wait until they are done with their gyrations to close
them.and this is after I have to wait the initial four minutes.
I'm running Spysweeper with the virus protection. It finds lots of crap
every time it does a sweep. Doesn't seem to help performance, however.
I seem to remember once going to something like "msconfig" or something like
that and seeing a list of all the stuff that should be running in the
background and being amazed at all the crap that was running. I vaguely
remember deselecting stuff and performance improved.
Can anyone tell me how to get to that list and what I should have running
and how to get rid of the crap?
Lots of questions but I'm a computer special needs guy solidly on the tech
short bus.
Thanks
Bob R

Re: [MBZ] O.T. Computer Trauma/Stuff Running in Background
The reason for the page size increase is the huge amount of graphics, scripts and annoying ads. The best thing you can do if you've got kids getting at the machine is to create a separate login account just for them. You retain administrator rights and they can't install anything without your approval. This will also not run their crap when you want to use it. How full is the hard drive? Is it making any noise? When was the last time you defragged? When was the last time you ran scandisk to check for errors? How much RAM do you have? Most of those kiddie programs, AIM etc. start automatically. Right click on their ico in the bottom right corner and open them. Go into options and unclick start when windows starts or whatever wording they use. Check in the main menu/start for other programs listed there. Personally I'd swap to a Linux distro. All those messenger progs can be handled with ONE messenger prog in Linux. The distros out now are painless and intuitive. They run miles better than MS junk. You really won't notice the difference much after the first week. I think the user accounts and passwords are the best resolution. Perhaps a clean install? I can walk you through any changes you need to make if you want to phone me. It's easy stuff.

Ditto Bob, you spoke for me also. Looking forward to hearing some tips on
speeding things up.
I read on a friends blog that about ten years ago, most pages consisted of
only about ??? bits, bits or whatever, now they have more than ??? bits. A
huge change, says he.
Let me know if you have any more computer questions, as you can see, I'm

[MBZ] OT - computer trauma, etc.
My 10-yr-old computer with Windows 98 was running very slowly and hanging up a lot, too. Coupla weeks ago, I improved iit a LOT by defragmenting C drive, which had not been done in its 10-year life. I clicked My computer, right clicked ONCE on C drive, clicked properties, clicked on the general tab and disk cleanup, checked Temp internet files, Temp files, Recycle bin, etc., clicked OK; then I clicked the tools tab on the properties window and selected Defragment - defrag took about 3 hrs.

Re: [MBZ] OT - computer trauma, etc.
Defragging helps to some extent, but regular defragging won't make a significant difference. The areas you need to watch are: 1.) Swap files. Windows, especially the older versions like 98, used a dynamic swap file, that is, the swap file was constantly changing based on systems needs. You can get a pretty decent speed bump on the older systems by going into the system settings and set up a fixed swap file size, rather than letting the system do it. 10% of your total hard drive space is usually more than adequate. 2.) Free space. If you're getting to the point where you've got little or no free space on your system (C:\) drive, get a bigger drive or clear off some space. Rule of thumb is never have less than 10% free space on a system partition (drive.) 3.) Adware and malware. Nasty stuff. You would be absolutely amazed at the burden this crap puts on the system, and you won't see it in msconfig or anywhere else. When I used to do consumer PC work I had a running contest with some of my buddies to see who could come up with the most adware infected machine. I think my best was around 7,000+ infections on ONE machine. Needless to say it was running at a crawl. If you've got kids who are constantly surfing the 'net, the best investment you can make is to buy a license for Ad-Aware (lavasoft.de) and let it run in the background. The free version is good, too, but you have to run it manually. 4.) Memory. Later Windows OS' are memory hogs, with Vista being the all time worst. Memory is cheap - get as much as you can afford or your machine can take. If there is one thing I told my consumer customers who were always asking me about upgrades, it was, "Buy more memory."

Well it appears I have all the spyware crap gone, have run several programs to get rid of it, and finally it runs and doesnt turn u p antyhing. Still have IE problems. IE starts, says connecting but never connects or does anything. It will eventually say not responding and you have to force it closed. IE works fine with other things, like MB service CD, but connecting to the internet this is what it does. Also, wife uses outlook express for email, and it seems to be doing about the same thing. -- Kaleb C.

check the amount of free spae on the hard drive - less than 30% free and it
starts to have trouble fnding the space it needs to move files around.
A virus is always a possibility -
Lots of other possibilities - I assume you are running MS-XP? Have the

[MBZ] 300SDL vibration
If you recall, I have this SDL with vibrating driveshaft. Well, I got under this SDL today to check to see if the lines were lined up for the driveshaft halves. Well they were. So that is not causing the vibration. The center support looked fine to me, as did the flex disks. So, not sure what could be causing it. I suppose the U joint may be causing it. Seemed OK but I guess the only real way to tell is to pull the driveshaft out. -- Kaleb C.

If you mean installing Windows over a current installation, you can't do
that (You could on a Mac even 10 years ago ... )

Those you can remove ("Add/Remove Software" on Control Panel) and then
reinstall.
I'd still be wondering if there were something the anti-spyware/virus
software missed.

Re: [MBZ] O.T. Computer Trauma/Stuff Running in Background
My experience trying to "fix" issues after a PC has been hosed isn't good. What has worked for me is: 1. Get a good-sized external USB drive and save all your personal files on it (pretty much everything in C:\Documents and Settings\"Username") 2. Get a disk image backup program like Acronis. 3. Blow away everything on the old hard drive and reinstall the OS from scratch or a use the system restore CD/DVD if one came with your PC. 4. Make sure you have working firewall and anti-virus programs running. 5. Connect to the internet and get all the patches from MS, probably will require several iterations. 6. Reinstall your personal programs. 6a. Do a full image backup to the USB drive periodically in case one of your personal programs clobbers the machine again. 7. Do a full image backup after all programs installed but before loading your personal data files. This should only be a few gigs and may fit on one DVD. Save this backup to restore the PC next time instead of going through steps 1-6. 8. Copy your selected personal files from the USB drive to the Documents and Settings folder. Only copy stuff that you know what it is in case there is malware lurking. Some programs (like Outlook/Express, Mozilla, others) store mail, shortcuts, etc. in non-intuitive places and you may need to hunt for those files the first time. 9. Finally, if you have room on the USB drive, do another full image backup of the whole thing. I have found the free MS SyncToy program very useful for backing up selected data files (like email) on a daily/weekly basis providing you have an external hard drive (USB or NAS) to store it on. I also find it very convenient to create an applications folder on an external drive (USB or NAS) with subfolders for each of my personal software applications (and text files for associated keys). This makes reinstallation very fast compared to finding and swapping all those installation DVD/CDs. This worked fine for everything except Roxio Easy CD/DVD Creator 6 which fatally messed up the drive letter mapping when I installed it from my NAS. A final note, when I travel with a notebook PC, I find an external 2.5 in USB drive VERY convenient. It is smaller than the equivalent stack of CDs I would need to carry and I can easily copy email and other data from my desktop PC to the USB drive and then copy the updated files back to the desktop after the trip. These drives are reasonably priced now and much cheaper than a new notebook with a bigger hard drive.

Re: [MBZ] O.T. Computer Trauma/Stuff Running in Background
Bzzt Wrong You can install Widoze over the top of it self. The problem you will run into is the New install doesn't touch the Registry files so if there is junk in the Registry it will remain. Kaleb try using the Registry in CCleaner to get rid of the crap left behind. I'll send you a program off line that may repair your Internet connection. Russ W.

Re: [MBZ] OT, IE problems continued
OK - based on IE working for local content but not Internet content, perhaps the IP stack is at fault? DNS isn't working?

Re: [MBZ] 1980 280E Dash Lights.
Craig, TY for the response. I have taken these bulbs out cleaned them and observed them lighting up when possible. I do not know were I would check the back of the instrument cluster to verify the existence of power Yes, Marshall I have changed all of my fuses.:) Its not been a good day electrically. I decided to find out why my 93 300E and 92 300TE headlight wipers did not work. Broke a brittle frame around one of the 300E's light assemblies and dropped one of the light assemblies out of the 300TE. Then I broke a very corroded/would not separate plug on the other 300TE light. I now have four working headlight wipers in my shop. However, hook them back up and not one of them run. (Headlights on, windshield wipers on clean, engine running) All fuses are good so I decided to cal it a day. All the lights working on the 300E but the 300TE looks like it has been abandoned. :) Dave H... -- From: "Craig McCluskey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2008 6:19 PM To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1980 280E Dash Lights. > On Sun, 4 May 2008 09:13:11 -0400 "Dave H..." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> My experience is that MBs have very dim dash lights.

Yea, you can do an install over an install, I have done it many times.
I have done the uninstall/install on IE and firefox and has not solved
the problem. I wonder if the spyware scan missed something too.

[MBZ] Quirky thermometer readings
I have been having erratic temp readings and have tried several things suggested to cure. Last week my aux fan would not turn off, so after a few hours I took the car to the shop. My nephew opened the fuse box and tapped on a relay and the fan shut off and the temps have registered where expected - at least most of the time. A laser digital thermometer showed that when the gauge said 120 no part of the engine or cooling system was above 180F, so the problem seems to be with resistance somewhere. Manfred is planning a visit to Jax and we'll check things out. I did have an unusual end of the week with it, though. After the three day event to get the injection pump straightened out, which resulted in a great improvement in the shifting and almost complete stopping of the smoke, a wonderful drive for a few days. On Thursday it started shifting hard, idling fast [but 750 - 800 RPM and not 7500RPM], and if the AC was on I had to get out and push to get it going. It did that until Saturday morning, when it reverted back to a perfect lady. Great shifts, able to keep up with traffic leaving stop lights even with the AC, and just a really nice ride. Elves, Dwarves, or whatever. I'll still take it in for a once over, but I really don't want anything different than this - except for it not to do that again. My Darling wife and I are planning a 5 day Memorial weekend and I don't need something like that. Does that sort of thing ring any bells?

Snook Don: Since my wife now has an 88 300TE, I regularly go back and forth between driving my 126 (300SD) and a 124 gasser. The 300TE is a fine animal, and I covet the wood shift knob, but I'll still take my 300SD every time. Although the TE is much more powerful, quieter, and smoother, the SD is much more roomy and comfortable, even in the front seats. The seats, in particular, are much larger in the 126. I'm about average build, but I really notice the difference. There's no comparison in ride quality. And believe it or not, although the TE has much more power for the weight, I find the 126 more fun to drive, because of the low, flat torque curve--the 3-liter gasser likes to really wind, and throttle response around town is pretty logey. Not dissing 124s at all. It's a great car. But it's not a 126. Also find the start-in-second trans a bit odd, tho first does launch you with vigor if you use it, and it would make it a great trailer towing car. But why not four gears that you used all the time? Odd. That said, I sure wouldn't want a 126 300SEL--you'd have to wind it pretty good to get it to move, I'd imagine. If the 300SDL is the ultimate touring car, the 300SD ain't far behind. Mine has 307k on it now, and I'd very much like to get another 200k out of it. 2,400 sounds reasonable if its a good one, but I wonder why someone who obviously is very knowledgeable about mercedes and has been maintaining this one fairly well is suddenly bailing--especially 2k miles after new tires. I'd want to know the whole story.

Re: [MBZ] 201 rear tranny flange removal
I would advise getting a 3/4 drive socket set because the nut on the rear drive shafts is the same as the one at the back off the tranny and those nuts are tight tight and need to be done up tight tight. Not a drama with the rear tranny flange because it is not that tight and having a bad fit socket will work but once you get into the 200nm range you want a good fit as you stand on the bar to tighten/loosen the drive shaft nut. I just bought a cheapish 3/4 drive set (27 piece with AF and metric) for AU$120 and a half inch drive adapter, just for one quality 30mm 3/4 drive socket they wanted AU$30. Now if I cheaped out and just bought the 30mm socket and adapter I would have been stuffed when it came to doing the drive shaft nuts plus I have already employed the 22mm socket to easily undo the control arm bolts.

Next open up the Run Command [ Start > Run ]
Type in msconfig Click OK.
When System Configuration Utility opens up click on the "Start Up" Tab
On the Left hand column you will see a list of commands
Start at the top and one by one use the Search feature at the Bleeping

web site and use the recommendations they give for turning off the programs.
WARNING DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR ANTI-VIRUS By mistake :-) .
When you finish Click the Apply Button on the Bottom.
Windoze will tell you You'll Need to Reboot.
Reboot
You will get a Dialog Box Stating you Have Changed Start up settings.
There is a Check box that says not to show again. Check the Box and
click Ok.
Also there is a good, and best of all FREE, program to get rid of the

Yep, the truth is coming out. Bio Diesel is causing a serious third world food shortage. Wait till they figure out the real impact that Ethanol production has on the world. We are already experiencing record food inflation, partly due to higher oil prices but more directly related to the fact that so much corn is going to Ethanol! Then there's the long term impact of compact florescent bulbs. Every one contains a bit of mercury. I don't know about you but I throw mine out when they burn out and I bet that 99% of the county does the same. So, do mercury tainted landfills appeal to you?

Re: [MBZ] One for Attorney Snook
> If the 300SDL is the ultimate touring car, the 300SD ain't far behind. It wouldn't be. Just a bit less horsepower (and worse fuel economy, oddly enough) and a bit less legroom in the rear seat. If neither of those matter to you, then there's no effective difference. Otherwise, both great touring cars. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] OT, IE problems continued - backup system
As a testament to what Don said, a few years ago I asked a friend who worked at Publix [major Florida based grocery chain] about the new building going up a the back of an area near where he worked. He said an internal study showed that a computer system failure would most likely cause the company and it's hundreds of stores to end up bankrupt. They were constructing a fully redundant system in a separate location. The more you need a computer system the more you need good protection and backup.
