    - MSDOS Prompt problem Getting the dreaded "There is not enough memory to run this program" error message when I try to go to a DOS Prompt. I have a number of programs that only run in DOS.. I have MaxPhysPage=40000 and MaxFileCache=512000 All I did was move this win98se hard drive to a different computer. Previous comp had 2GB RAM. Removed the Enum key in registry before running on new computer. It started up fine and found all the new equipment okay.

    - Printin Problems Previously in microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser, I wrote: I´m having printing problems specifically with IE6, so I decided to re-install it from scratch hoping to the problem solved. When I try to re-install IE, I get this message (my system is in Brazilian Portuguese so I´ll try to translate):The install process can´t download missing files using a not mapped UNC path with drive letters... Does anybody how I can resolve this matter? Thanks! ------- Well I managed to re-install IE6 in the computer (Win98SE by the way) and the problem is still occuring. So the guys thought I should cross-post this problem to these two discussion groups (win8.gen_discussion and win98.prinitn). So I gave it a shot. Anybody out there can help me with a solution? Thank you! Tag: Discover How To Finally Unleash Your Computers True Potential! Tag: 879844

    - Follow-up Here's prior post: Background: Promise 133 controller card, 2 WDC 80GB hard drives on removable trays. Promise bios shows identical drives. First master (alone), second master w/slave (DVD burner). Unable to access 2nd hard drive. Have tried: Simple boot floppy with ME dos on it, and same with 98SE dos on it at boot time. DriveImage 2002 with 98SE dos on it. XP w/SP2. WinME window environment. 98SE environment. Swapping drives in trays and using the unaccessible drive by itself. Swapping tray insertable locations. Jumpers adjusted accordingly. During floppy boot (both 98SE and ME), have observed the access LED on the tray indicating access to that hard drive. PC locks up everytime. Similar in XP boot, ME and 98SE when I open windows explorer to investigate My Computer. WDC diagnostic tool on bootable floppy similar results. ------------------------------------------------------ For those who want more precise info the one I'm having trouble with is IDE2 drive. I tried onboard ide with same result both attempting to boot with it, and booting from floppy and CD with WD diagnostics on it. Using a firewire enclosure with the problem drive, XP SP2 disk manager remains attempting to make contact with logical disk manager for 10 minutes. I stopped it at that point. Attempting to populate, error message said that the partition(s) may be of Windows 2000 nature. I don't own Windows 2000 and the drive has never seen such. -- Dave How about a tax to support any military conflict/police action over 3 months old?

    - Renaming files. Say I have 10,000 files sitting in dedicated folders that accomodate 30 files, one for each day. The curly bit, is they have brevity in their current name and are only identified by their "modified Date" for example 2104.zip will be recognised 12 times one for each year since 1996 that is 2104.zip modified say 22nd april 1998 2104.zip modified say 24th april 2001 etc. How may I rename them, so that the zip will still activate yet I can fit them in 1 file (so that 2104.zip 1998 does not get overwritten by 2104.zip 2001) Tag: Discover How To Finally Unleash Your Computers True Potential!

    - screensaver password reverting to old password intermittently Any idea why my Win98SE screen saver password every few weeks reverts to the old password? The new one fails after it worked fine for days. The screen saver is native to the OS. The network password remains what it should be. I change the screensaver password and everything's okay until some weeks later. No one else uses the machine and it's not on the Internet. I use profiles as if for multiple users (I forgot what apparently worked better that way), but mine's been the only login all this time. I'm not going to a previous state with registry and startup files, and if Win is doing that without telling me it's not telling me, but whether the reversion only happened after a cold reset I don't recall. Nothing useful in <SYSTEM.INI>. Wasn't a problem before the last time I changed the screensaver password, which is also after the *.pwl file was last modified (I changed my login password then, too). I don't know where the screensaver password is stored, but "Underwater (high color).theme", Underwater.scr, & Underwater.dll were last modified in 1999, as are all of "C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes\Underwater*.*", which should eliminate them; and it's not in the registry (unless encrypted). According to Find for the whole computer, the only files modified the same recent day I last changed my password were C:\WINDOWS\TEMP \~DFE6E9.TMP, ...\~DF5F4C.TMP, ...\~DF52A4.TMP, & ...\~DF60EA.TMP (each 3,584 bytes); they respectively contain the following plain English per Notepad: ~DFE6E9.TMP has "R o o t E n t r y", ~DF5F4C.TMP has "R o o t E n t r y", DF52A4.TMP has "R o o t E n t r y", & ~DF60EA.TMP has "R o o t E n t r y", "SCANDSKW", "SETUP", "W8=C7" (unknown if relevant to platform being Win98SE), "SETUP", "SETUP", "SETUP", "SETUP1", "SOFFICE", "SOUNDMAN" (I don't know what I have in the bought-as-barebones machine that's about Soundman or in the homebuilt that used to house the HDD w/ same OS), "SPOOL32", "ST6UNST", "START", "STPSUP", "SUCATREG", "SYSINFO ?", "SYSMON", & "SYSTRAY". As an experiment, I changed the password recently to the normal password twice via each of two methods (via Display and Passwords applets), i.e., 4 times total. Every time it said it had successfully been changed, which means it can't tell the difference if there's no real change. I tested the password correction; it works now. One hunch: The old password was 8 characters long, all different. The new password is the same minus the rightmost character. (I know that kind of change is weak security, but that's a different subject. I should tighten that after I solve this problem.) Could the similarity mean Win is sometimes remembering the old one? I'm glad I know this old password, but I shouldn't have to. I usually discard them. Ideas? Thanks. -- Nick Tag: Discover How To Finally Unleash Your Computers True Potential! Tag: 879790

    - Need Advice Well, it looks like I've finally reached the end-of-life with my P11, 300 MHz Win98se machine. My master hard drive went belly-up but I have managed to limp along by replacing it with my properly re- jumpered slave drive. Fortunately it was a clone of the master so it was able to boot-up okay. The dilemma: What to replace my computer it with. I have a good friend who is a well respected local Computer (since 1994) technician who strongly recommends Dell, ONLY because they are the only ones who still sell XP machines. His strong opinion is that Vista is very buggy and doesn't look like it is going to be cleaned up in the near future. Also he says the unique "features" of Vista are mostly troublesome eye candy and messy security items, and that XP will survive for at least the next 5+ years. My question: Should I limit my choices to Dell because of the XP/Vista consideration or should I bite the bullet and go for the best machine for my kilobuck without regard for the operating system. Any thoughts, recommendations will be appreciated. Tag: Discover How To Finally Unleash Your Computers True Potential! Tag: 879730

    - Changing motherboard Win98SE Hi All, I managed to turn up a used computer for $20 which contained a suitable 800MHz Celeron board, which I could use to replace my dud motherboard. I've never replaced a motherboard before, so just doing it was of interest to me. I wanted to boot up the original hard drive with all applications installed and get it to work with the the new motherboard. I put an old installation hard drive into the $20 computer so I could experiment - I got some good stuff off the internet of "how-to" do it. I had Acronis True Image at the ready too, with existing backups of the system. I did alright on the motherboard, graphics, in the transfer to the new motherboard etc, but the audio just plain refused to work. I eventually made the drive un-bootable trying to fix this audio sound card problem. I had to True Image recover the drive. The method I finally found worked best was to: (1) Do a repair-install of Win98SE. This got most of the motherboard right including rather crucially the CDROM. Probably the best first step with any OS if you can do this. (2) Install the motherboard chipset drivers and get them right. (3) Install the Graphics Driver. (4) Un-install any audio sound card stuff in Add/Remove Programs. (5) Go into Safe mode and delete anything to do with the old sound card in Device Manager. (6) Install the sound card drivers. It ought to all work now. Any problems then try re-installing drivers. Might be useful to someone. :) Ross Tag: Discover How To Finally Unleash Your Computers True Potential! Tag: 879715

    - Running program from flash drive means lock.exe doesn't work I have an Adata USB flashdrive running a p2p program that also stores downloaded files on it. I left it running for a few hours. When I came back, it was no longer running the program. All the data is secure so I have to run lock.exe, together with a password to access it. But when i run lock.exe from the installation disk, it says "No Flash device attached!". When i run lock.exe fro the flash device, it says "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down". So now I can't even access the program and data that was in the security area. Does anyone have an idea as to what has happened because it looks as if I'll have to reformat it, which seems pointless if the same problem is going to occur. Regards, Larry.

When the machine starts, the Windows logo displays, then the screen goes black for about one minute, then the desktop loads.

    - Re: destorying the hard drive - Thanks Franc and Mike. Thanks for the info, guys. You are VERY knowledgeable. You have educated me but also gave me a bit of a headache. Oh well. -- Savagery of the relationships between people. Here, everyone is on the make, all of them doing their damndest to take someone else by surprise, to relieve this man of his property, to enjoy that girl's flesh. There is no gentleness, there are only pleasures. Eyes which already devour the easy prey offered them, eyes which seek out the chink in the armour, the weak point, the little patch of pale skin into which the nails can sink and bring blood spurting out. Spying eyes, fierce eyes, sharp eyes which loathe and wound. A look which passes summary judgment, a knowing look, one which wants, not to understand, but to keep at a distance, to consume at a distance. A kind of tentacle, eye- sucker clamped to the intellect's stomach. The world is not pure. The world is free, roamed by wild animals, inhabited by greedy, hate-filled monsters.

    - BIG Problem I installed the Unofficial Windows 98 patches. Now the computer does not go into Windows, not normal nor Safe Mode. I get a fatal exception error at 0187 (or (0167):BFF9E0BF. I can also sometimes see an error in VXD VWIN32(05). Can someone help me get the computer to work again? I couldn't reinstall Windows 98 from a CD either. Setup thinks (wrongly) that disk commpression is used. Thank you. Tag: Discover How To Finally Unleash Your Computers True Potential! Tag: 879533

    - Accessing identical hard drive Background: Promise 133 controller card, 2 WDC 80GB hard drives on removable trays. Promise bios shows identical drives. First master (alone), second master w/slave (DVD burner). Unable to access 2nd hard drive. Have tried: Simple boot floppy with ME dos on it, and same with 98SE dos on it at boot time. DriveImage 2002 with 98SE dos on it. XP w/SP2. WinME window environment. 98SE environment. Swapping drives in trays and using the unaccessible drive by itself. Swapping tray insertable locations. Jumpers adjusted accordingly. During floppy boot (both 98SE and ME), have observed the access LED on the tray indicating access to that hard drive. PC locks up everytime. Similar in XP boot, ME and 98SE when I open windows explorer to investigate My Computer. WDC diagnostic tool on bootable floppy similar results. -- Dave How about a tax to support any military conflict/police action over 3 months old?

    - computer won't start up Hello. Yesterday I started up my computer quite normally. When I opened OE it froze. This happened a number of times and so I restarted in SAFE MODE. From there I did a number of things like VIRUS CHECK, SPYBOT and did a delete and clean up of files. Scan disk, defrag, etc. Later I went into normal mode and tried again.......another freeze up. Did a restart and then disabled NORTON Internet Security and ANTIVIRUS. Then OE opened fine and I was able to do a little more work online. Shut down normally. Today I pushed the start button......did NOT notice any peculiar sounds or something out of the ordinary....the screen went just past the DELL COMPUTER SCREEN and then to a cursor on the top left, it made its usual starting noise and it stops there. Suggestions are welcome......... Tag: Discover How To Finally Unleash Your Computers True Potential! Tag: 879489

    - My mouse gets the jitters I ran for virus and adware. Nothing. Periodically, the mouse starts to jump about erratically. Like the PC is really busy even though it shouldn't be. This gets worse until it is not usable. Continues even after all applications are closed. Symptoms are gone after reboot. I never had this on my old PC running at 450MHz on win 98.

    - Re: Lexar's "Secure II Plus" 2GB JumpDrive on Windows 98se computer Hi Franc, Thank you for your suggestions. I found "USBVIEW.EXE" on my Windows98SE CD and put it in my wife's WinXP computer. With "Secure II Plus" plugged in, I launched USBVIEW and I was able to see the VID (OX05DC) and PID (OXA702). I added that information to "JDUSBMS.INF" file, but it was unable to install a driver on my Windows 98se computer when I plugged in "Secure II Plus". I will seek Maximus Decim's NUSB and see if I have better luck with that.

    - Fresh install rebooting issue I have an 80GB HDD on which I treid to install Win98. I copied the files to the HDD and ran the setup from that directory. After all of the files loaded, the PC rebooted and said it was running windows for the first time. It then rebooted in the middle of the splash screen. Since then it will not get past the splash screen without rebooting. Any ideas on why this would be happening on a clean install? Tag: Discover How To Finally Unleash Your Computers True Potential!

    - 98SE Runs in MSDOS Compatibility Mode I have just upgraded my system with a new motherboard (Biostar NF4 Ultra A9A) that has an NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Chipset. Does anyone know how to get the 98SE operating system up and running with this motherboard or maybe a work around? I am able to boot the system but the Desktop looks like a Safe Mode display and the Hard Drive or CD drive is not listed in Device Manager only a Floppy Drive. I can access the FAT partition with no problem as it is listed in My Computer as C drive. The system runs in MSDOS Compatibility Mode.

    - locked out after running utility to clear disk space I got a message that my hard drive was full and a popup asking if I wanted to run a utility to clear space. I ran the utility and immediately couldn't get into any MS programs. If I selected a program, e.g. Word, I got a message like unable to access word.inl (not sure about extension). Also, the icons for the MS programs looked like document rather than program icons. I restarted my computer and the system now wants me to reinstall Windows98. I have no idea where the disks are, and it seems like I may have just deleted one key module. Can anyone recommend a way to see if it is still on my computer (I assume I can start up in DOS, although the Windows 98 install wizard starts automatically) or download it ?

    - scanreg I recently discovered that my daily scanreg was not occurring. When I opened in MSDOS mode and did a scanreg /restore I found that the five backups were several weeks old. I made a registry change by adding /autorun after scanreg.exe and moving the scanreg.exe file to C:\Windows and got it to work again but now I have two new problems: (1) Every time I re-boot, scanreg runs so that if I re-boot 5 or more times in one 24 hour period, I have 5 identical files. Previously scanreg only ran the first boot of each day. The also are all identified as not having been started where as in the past, the older ones were sometimes labeled as having "started". (2) Every time I boot, during the boot sequence, a black box MSDOS window appears showing that scanreg and scanregW have been initiated. This box NEVER appeared before I made the changes above. While scanreg is now working, I have somehow screwed up the sequence so that the above problems have occurred. My questions: Where should the scanreg.exe file reside. Is /autorun after the scanreg entry in the registry appropriate/necessary. It wasn't there before. How do I suppress the MSDOS scanreg box from displaying during boot How can I get back to a single scanreg action at initial daily boot and not every time I boot.
