    - Did I have a virus? Windows 98SE PC was working fine. I had been downloading some files, e.g. RealPlayer. No apparent problems. Powered down. Later on, started it up again. There was some kind of error message at the DOS level where it said Abort, Retry, Fail. I said Abort. Then: Invalid System Disk etc etc. Drive C buggered. However, I booted up to DOS from a floppy and most (95%) of the folders and files on C appeared intact. But here's the important thing, certain key parts of the OS were gone! The VMM32 folder in Windows\System no longer existed, neither IOSUBSYS. Also, no MSDOS.SYS in drive C. But I had a very recent TrueImage image, so I just restored it. Since then I have been running virus checkers like there's no tomorrow on both PCs, but all come up clean. What could totally trash those folders, yet leave most of the hard drive files intact? My suspicion is a virus. MM Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 881010

    - Free Registry Cleaner Download Review The registry is a very sensitive component of the windows operating system which can most often be the core of any problems you may experience. The reason why is because it contains very important information about your computers hardware and software configurations which are stored in the form of registry keys. So basically every time you decide to add or remove software or upgrade hardware, those relevant entries in the registry will change.This causes it to become "clogged up" and will eventually lead to problems with functionality of programs and general performances. It would be great if computers would constantly function as if they were new, but unfortunately as time passes the average pc user will install and remove various software from their pc causing problems. We all know what a pain it can be when a computer starts acting sluggish and won't respond to certain actions we give and this can be sorted out by using registry cleaners. There are quite a few of these software programs available for download on the internet of which some will perform better than others. I would like to briefly review one of them which has been voted as the top registry cleaner available on the net. It's called Reg Cure....

    - formatting hard drive I formatted my slave hard drive and did a quick format (erase), instead of a complete format. I wanted to put another operating system on the hard drive and now I'm having problems loading it up. It says: Invalid system disk, replace the disk and press any key. I tried to get into BIOS but this message comes up. When I put Windows ME OS disk into it then it says: Boot from CD-ROM or boot from hard drive. When I chose CD-ROM and ran the operating system it got to the point where it says something to this nature: make sure to remove any floppy diskette and press any key to restart your computer. That's as far as I get. Maybe I should've done a complete format? Does a quick format leave the operating system on the disk? I want to erase the whole disk and have it completely clean. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, attilathehun1 Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880918

    - Ping: thanatoid <portions snipped for brevity> I had run on too long and my message had appeared, then dropped off the server. Since it was over 12k... I thought maybe there was a 10 k limit. I broke it down into parts...but only the second portion posted... so I had to re-post the first part second. Of course...the original post which had dropped off the server came back. Then happened one more time...so I started a new thread to observe the behavior of my news server I like to do nice things for people, BION, but generally speaking I am totally useless. It's a long sad story. I /can/ fix a lamp :-) I assure you that if you can fix a lamp... you can fix a computer. Though I go way back and took my first course in FORTRAN IV at Milwaukee School of Engineering back in 1968. I was *shocked* that punch cards were being used. I still used them in the late 70's when I worked (summer job, I never went ANYWHERE) in the registrar's office of my college. The closest we got to computers at the time, until 1980 IIRC, was an IBM Selectric with a tiny memory for mass "customized" mailings etc.. That was pretty damn snazzy I thought! But you still had to type in every address manually! Though I prefer my old manual typewriter I have at least one Selectric up in my attic. I also have one of IBM's original electric typewriters. The museum in my city has one on display. My favorite thing is the dial where you can set the keyboard pressure for the number of carbon copies you are making. The dial goes up to 10 ! If I set the dial to "ten copies" but just put a single sheet of paper in the machine...if you hit the "0" it will punch a hole in the paper!!!! It seemed absurd! Eleven years later when I went back to school to get additional education for my job, I was mortified that we were still using punch cards! It seemed insane. After constructing a 68000 based machine for one of my advanced courses...in May 1982 or so...I eventually grew to HATE computers so much that I swore I would never touch one again. Was it such an awful experience? I don't know if there are any folks who hang out here who are my age or older...but I can assure you that it you had to write programs, then submit them on punch cards... it was a good reason to hate computers. If you made as much as one typo even the omission of a non-ambiguous parenthese... the program would be "spit out" and you'd not only have to wait in line to get at a punch card machine, you'd need to wait in line to re-submit you program...then wait for others to submit...as they were run in batches. I am not kidding you...it took an entire week to get one program up and running. Today, you could do that work in a few minutes if you are smart...but even a programming dummy like I am could still get something running within a few hours. Yes. I hated computers !!!! <snip> Wow. I was pretty clueless at the time and my college was an art school... The closest I got to a computer was a basic video editying system and a video synthesizer - but that was analog to begin with, and really not much of a computer. I remember watching short analog computer graphics films (conisdered valuable works of art) which the Whitney brothers (and others) made at /great/ pains and then seeing almost EXACTLY the same things in screen savers... Great that you went to an art school. Though I do mostly photography now...I've done quite a bit of art in the past. The GF is a full time artist and is the executive director of the gallery she runs within the auspices of the NPO where I do my volunteer work. It was her volunteerism there, that has also gotten me involved. More reading here: http://www.iccd.org/default.aspx <snip snap> absolutely nothing tougher! I ROAR with laughter if someone on Usenet tries to insult me. There is nothing like a live Chicago crowd out to kill you! I totally understand. I've performed in Manhattan too...and finally pretty much retired from poetry when I finally won a poetry slam in Milwaukee! Congratulations :-) I got a tee shirt when I won. It took me six years to finally win a slam. Some folks could win a slam on a monthly basis... but it toughened me up. Even the Kadaitcha man..who is the biggest insulter on all of Usenet is a rank amateur with his insults <G> The highlight of my poetic career was in 1995... when I was invited to the Peace Museum in Chicago to read two of my poems at the commemoration of the ending of WW-II with the bombing of Nagasaki. The poem was deeply inspired by stories my father told me...as he was among the first US troops to go into the city after the bombing. Wow. That must have been quite an experience for him. I am haunted by the stories to this day. My father was such an excellent story teller that I feel like I have walked the streets of Nagasaki and have personally seen the destruction. He brought home a jack knife he found on the streets and I often thought about the person who owned it. I later realized that the person who owned the knife had been instantly vaporized...and the knife was all that was left. One day my father discarded all his WW-II mementos... stating : "Bad memories." But I have the entire jack knife memorized and still see the broken blade, reground...and the cork screw used to open bottles of Saki. I feel that I am forever linked to the departed soul. Anyway...Colleen was the one who got me interested in computers when she gave me her old Packard Bell back in 1999. I was with her when she bought it new in 1995 for $1600. I thought she was nuts! The price was , if anything on the low side... even for the time...I doubt it was top of the line. It only had an 850 meg drive and 8 megs of RAM In 1995 better machines were available. Though Packard Bell was often maligned... I am partial to them even to this day. I had completely upgraded that machine as far as it could go... and only retired it a few years ago. I restored it back to how it was originally, and put it back into the original cardboard carton That does sound a little expensive, even for those days. I guesss it must have been that top-of-the line brand name!!! Since the machine was a freebie...I took it home and figured..might as well see what all this computer stuff is about. Then I go hooked. When she owned the machine I would never go near it, and if she ever wanted to show me something... I literally ran out of the room screaming. I would have liked to see that /laughs/. I *really* was afraid of it! <snipo> It's horrible how these things have invisible yet SO powerful tentacles, huh? Yep! <snap> I had never even /heard/ of Linux then. The day MAY be approaching though... I started out with Red Hat 5.2 Sheesh, I did not even know what a partition was when I started... from the time I got the CD...until the time I actually had Linux installed and configured...was six months. The X-server...which runs the GUI had to be manually configured. It was a lot of work! Today, with Linux...you just boot off the cd and away you go... many distros are even easier to install than Windows. <more trimming> I will NEVER get that far. My father used to write computer programs for the huge boxes at universities they used in the 60's and 70's (does the word mainframe apply to those?) to do his psychological statistics calculations, but the closest I ever came to programming was making an IBM PC (the one with 2 5¼ flopppies) draw a circle on the screen. It /was/ very satisfying. Yep back in those days...they would have been main frames all right. At the original company I worked for, our programmer was a guy who had started out back in 1952. They transferred data (on punch cards) between cities, using a pickup truck! Every time I repair a machine...I look at it as a new opportunity to learn something. To me, it's a cheap education...way better than any college course I had ever taken. I went to school for more years than I'd care to admit...but learned much more on my own. Same here. <snp> You are much more inquisitive than I am... I tend to get really nervous and sweaty when things get really hairy and prefer to just start clean. And I have never "worked" with computers - except when I did DTP and general office boy crap at my last job, I /somehow/ quickly turned into the person who had to show everyone how to use their computers. Yet I remained the lowest paid person in the company. Even then I never built one, I was just fairly good at software - I actually READ entire manuals just on principle! The only actual "fixing" experience I've had is with my 3 machines (the 3rd is an HP Vectra 486/66 which I can't even remember last firing up - but it is built like a tank!) and a few friends' machines - but that just leads to very unpleasant "misunderstandings". I have sworn to myself to NEVER help any friend again. If you work on old junk,there is nothing to get nervous about... but if it's for a friend...that's a whole different story. I have one friend who is a professional photographer and I build and maintain all his machines. His work is so amazing that he keeps me on a retainer. Though I deeply respect the guy, I have to treat him like a kid when it comes to telling him to *always* back up the data. One afternoon, he lost a 200 gig HD (This was back when a 200 gig drive was the largest one could get.) It was not detected in the bios... so he brought the entire machine over to my shop. He was worried sick. The drive contained thousands of images. Though they were all scanned from 35mm film and he had the film stored properly...He had about a years worth of Photoshop work on that drive... cleaning up the images etc...and only a partial backup. I sent the guy home and tried everything I could possible think of...and still, though the drive would spin up... it was not detected in the bios, no matter what I did and I tried it in other machines. By two in the morning...I went over the electronics with a bright light and magnifying lens...and *thought* I found the problem. One of those tiny surface mount capacitors had a seemingly bad solder joint...and one end seemed to have bee lifted slightly. I grabbed the smallest soldering iron I had... but the tip look enormous. I was fatigued...so in a flash of good judgment ( something I rarely have) I decided NOT to work on it that night...but instead tried to go to sleep. But had horrible nightmares and woke up every hour in a cold sweat. The next day I got the drive up and running. then tackled a second drive that *merely* had a read/write error... and the data recovery for that drive only took me about two more days of continuous work <G> !!! Sheesh, did my friend ever get a nice lecture...and today I think he owns more HD's than Maxtor! <more snip> I simply load a light Linux distro onto those. Generally, Damn Small Linux (heck I can put that on a 100 meg drive and have plenty of room to spare)... then offer the machines on Craig's list. I never heard of that distro. Perhaps it is not as beginning- user friendly as it is small? Damn Small Linux is great. It's just a 50 meg download so even folks with a dial up connection can get it, no hassle. You just boot from the cd and it's a live distribution. You can run it right from the CD..and the machine does not even need a HD. There is a hard drive install option and it's quite quick and easy to to. For older machines that can't boot from a cd they also have a floppy available...which will access the cd and start the installation. <snip> Good for you. I am guessing me you are a conscientious and hard worker, but that a lot of your time is spent in just sitting and watching things and making sure nothing screws up - /then/ you spring into action like WonderWoman! (I hope you don't mind the comparison.) So you spend a fair amt. of time on the Usenet so you won't go crazy from boredom. Or am I totally off? When my mind is set to it...I am the hardest worker on the planet. (or so it seems) Once I start a job, even if it takes all day... i just go, go , go. Don't talk or eat until it's done. The biggest job I was on was in a nuclear power plant. I did need to take a few breaks there. Not only did we have all the engineers and technicians from my office in there...we had to hired a bunch of temps too. We worked 16 or 17 hours a day, six days a week for six weeks continuously! That was one hell of a big job. The project was way behind schedule...but the fault was not on our end... We were paid a premium I assure you...but If I had to do it all over again...they could keep the money. The best part of the entire job was the fact that I had a higher security clearance than the owner of the company I worked for. (I was cleared to work unsupervised...as I was in fact one of the supervisors. )When the owner of my company came in to see the job progress, I was required to keep him in my sight at ALL times... even when he had to go to the bathroom! That was quite humiliating for him I assure you!!! However. In addition the being such a hard worker... I am also the laziest bum on the planet... I went for something like 15 years on my job working 20 to 30 hour weeks...until one day...someone mentioned to me kindly: aaah, we do pay you you for 40 hours you know. Of course, how could I tell them that I do about two hours worth of work for every hour I am on the job? Basically, I just worked slower and longer for a few months until that blew over <G> I have saved their butt so many times, they don't dare say too much. <snip snap snout, this tale's told out> Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880851

    - Clock off by a half hour. Using Win98SE. Every few days I find my clock is a half hour slow. Exactly a half hour. It is not running slow, it is being reset somehow. ??????????? Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880836

    - Re-Install Win98SE ? I was given a Yr 2000 HP desktop PIII 866 w/ 384 Mb ram, running Win98SE. It has more capability than my older 1998 HP. I'm having two problems which I can't resolve. I'm connected to the Internet via ethernet cable> DLink SuperG router>cable modem. The older machine (Celeron500 256Mb) was connected to the net via a USB connection as the installer couldnt get (he tried) a 10/100 hard card to function (Port conflicts he said). Given that, the connection was reasonably fast but the machine did have 'falling offline" problems, especially if left alone/inactive for a while. During D/L though (say 25 parts x 309 Mb .WMV files) it was fast and smooth..1 0f 25, 2 of 25, 3 of 25 etc right up to 25, On the PIII, I installed a new (er) PCI 10/100 card [pitched the original ISA one]and got it running pretty well but it does "hang" from time to time during downloads. Where this is most evident is trying to Update my NEWSGROUP list of some 60,000 groups..it will usually hang at 140 groups..if I keep hitting reset, on occasion it will grab up to 6500 groups but then hangs again. Trying to D/L the same 25 part (309Mb X 25 .WMV files) may get one or two parts then it just hangs..I have to hit STOP and start again. It is nearly impossible to D/L even one part intact w/o it hanging. It also shows up when my AVG is updating..it hangs for probably 25 seconds or more during the D/L, then finishes uinlike my other P4Laptop D/L of larger files such as JPGs stalls & stutters as well...about 1/10th the D/L spd of my P4 laptop on the same network So, what I'm wondering is, can I reinstall Win98SE off the disk I have without LOSING the drivers etc for other hardware (such as the PCI 10/100card- I left the disks for that in Az and I'm 1600 miles away now) and other software/drivers 'onboard' which I can't replace ? Are there "sections" of the Win98 I should leave alone and others I should replace ? The other problem, I ve posted here [DKabppls.exe] deals with FREEZING on shutdown and 2 UNTITLED windows appearing "..stopped responding" WAIT/END TASK ? both resulting on an extended freeze and finally a POWER DOWN shut down. Any ideas appreciated. R Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880819

    - DKabppls.exe This file in Windows/system (312KB) opens on startup (Win98 6.0). Strangely, I can't find any mention of it on GOOGLE or Microsoft Help. Is it a 'legit' program ? Do I need it ? Do I need it to run on startup ? The reason I'm asking is there are 2 'windows' that hang up this computer on shutdown and I get the warning window: "..stopped responding...WAIT ? END TASK?" but both have NO NAME at the top so I don't know what they are, where, or why they're running and often WAIT or END TASK won't get it done. Neither will CTL ALT DEL X2.. Then I have to power down to shut down which is not a good thing.. I ve pulled the list of Running Programs from CTL/ALT/DEL and this one is the 'most suspect" ? Any ideas ?

    - Finding out what works, and maybe why. Aside from churning out new OS revisions, some profit might be had from looking at current examples of old systems that, in spite of the status quo, have somehow managed to survive, in daily practical use, and without the benefits of a re-install. After all, with penicillin growing on stale bread, who knows what accidental benefits can be created by continually recovering from random errors over a length of time.......... This was always an informative aspect of hardware product development - getting some ancient and field returns that had been ridden hard and put away wet, to pore over (usually in your spare time, though, I'll admit).

    - Upgrading a Slow CPU to a Faster CPU Hi, I bought an old Packard Bell "Multimedia C115" desktop computer from a friend of mine for $20.00. While he had it, he did a some upgrades (128M ram, USB ports, etc.). It has Windows 98SE. The Pentium processor speed is a 120Mhz. I would like to upgrade that to at least 200Mhz. Besides changing the CPU, what other changes would I have to make?

    - I can not get my modem to connect I'm on a dialup connection. I have a USR external 56K modem. I am running Win98se. Last week I connected to the internet with no problems. I was gone for the weekend. When I got back yesterday, I could only connect at 24K. Normally I always connect at 44K and occasionally a little faster. I called my ISP and as usual they told me there is something wrong with my computer. (which I thought was bullshit since it worked fine before the weekend). I should have known better than to listen to the idiot who began by saying he was not too familiar with win98, He had me go to CONTROL PANEL / MODEMS. There were 4 entries for the same modem listed and he had me remove all but one of them. Then he had me run the ADD/REMOVE and run the REPAIR for IE6. (even after I told him I only use Firefox). Then he had me go to CONTROL PANEL / NETWORK, and told me that was wrong. I had the following TCP/IP > Dial-up Adaptor TCP/IP > Dial-up Adaptor #2 (VPN Support) TCP/IP > Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Desktop Connection He told me to remove TCP/IP > Dial-up Adaptor #2 (VPN Support) and leave the others. After I got off the phone, I tried to dial. I cant even access the modem now. I restored TCP/IP > Dial-up Adaptor #2 (VPN Support) I also removed and reinstalled all the modems (using the same drivers). No matter what I do, I can not connect. In fact nothing will access the modem. Even the PHONE DIALER (built into Windows) can not find the modem. I have tried everything and have no idea what else to do to fix it. I called back to my ISP and they told me my computer needs to be taken in for repair (after they fucked it up), and told me that Win98 does not connect properly anyhow and I should install XP). [I felt like telling the asshole to shove XP up his ass. since I have used Win98 for years to connect and I hate XP] After spending 6 hours trying to fix this, I have run out of ideas. Running INTERNET CONNECTION WIZARD keeps searching for a modem and it tells me to manually find a driver and never goes past that point Everytime I try to run it, that is as far as it goes. **** HOWEVER I am using that same modem and same computer right now. I have a barebones installation of Win98se on another small hard drive. I unplugged my regular harddrive and plugged in this one. I could dial right away without any problems. But, I am still only getting 24K again. Can anyone please tell me what to do to fix this. I have no idea what else to do. Needless to say, I am going to begin looking for another ISP. This is not the first time they have really fucked up my computer, and I am almost positive the problem is on their end Thanks Dan ----------------- Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880657

    - system freeze as Youtube web page loads Over the last three days, I've tried to access two separate youtube links on two separate occasions to find the W98 system freezes as the page is initially displayed. No keybd/mouse response. Required a hardware reboot to recover. I don't normally access youtube, but had done so in the previous week without problems. First link was: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZM779jJJFo The first time the problem occurred, I did a quick disk check - lost clusters found (and repaired). I retried the same link with number crunching background activity disabled - with the same result. Repeated disk check and then attempted to run defrag - incomplete after hitting a bad sector. This was repaired by running a complete disk check, including the surface test, after which the defrag would complete. Retried the link a third time with number crunching disabled - with the same result. Disk checked again without errors. The failed attempt to reach a differing Youtube link today (same system freeze), suggests that the problem wasn't going away by itself. The browser used is still the older Mozilla 1.7.11 - no changes here in over a year, and none expected in the future (without migrating to firefox or seamonkey). Trying for the same link using IE6 (rarely used but as up to date as MS permits) I got a blue screen that would not recover but that allowed a keybd ctrl/alt/del to reboot. Repeating this (if only to note down the OE exception number) produced normal performance.....? Repeating the attempt using default Mozilla then also produced normal performance. What could be responsible for this strange behavior in this W98 2ed OS (-8th year without reinstall)? Of course the youtube link was a waste of time, as usual. RL Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880627

Went to a SINGLE website to view a a tour for a home. And VOILA! Thousands [well it seemed like thousands] of cookies with inappropriate URL addresses insinuated themselves right back again. These are cookies not even associated with the tour. How is that possible? As part of this experiment, I didn't go to any of the old URL's but somehow their cookies pop right back the minute I got back on line. Is there someway to stop this in the future? Please don't tell me to delete the HISTORY files in Explorer. I really need most of that. There should be some way to alleviate this collecting of cookies. Although I have to keep cookies open else can't view such tours. too. Robert Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880600

    - How to change Windows Greeting? How do I change the Windows greeting? Win 98SE I inherited from a fellow employee an IBM ThinkPad [laptop], which he kindly converted for my use. The only residual left was a greeting with his name on it asking for a password that only required I hit CANCEL to boot up Windows and fully use the laptop. He is no longer with the firm, all the licenses for all the software are legitmate. I've used this unit for a while with a lot of my own installations added to the existing structures, and I'm reluctant to reinstall from scratch. So how do I change the greeting to use my name, or bypass the request? Robert Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880598

    - UPDATE: Dead laptop comes back to "Life" Mystery Hi, Well it didn't last long, around 6 days, but this time it "died" while I was downloading. I will not spend any more time trying to fix this Compaq Presario 1200XL110. I removed the 3V RTC/CMOS battery, which I bought new. I check the voltage (2.98V).

    - Letter from Windows Live Mail team Did not want to join the other post on this. I got a letter from the above stating that if I was using Outlook Express to access my Windows Live Hotmail account that it would no longer work later this year. According to Qwest my ISP, I have a Windows Live Premium account as part of my broadband package. If what I am reading is correct then, because I have the premium account, I will not have to worry about using OE to send and download my Hotmail. Is that correct?

    - Dead Laptop comes back to "Life" Mystery Hi, I have a Compaq Presario 1200XL110 laptop (bought 2nd hand) with bad display (display "wires" disconnected). I used an external Monitor. I kept the laptop plugged into AC all the time and the battery installed. I had no problems the first few days. Note: the laptop was on from 7:30AM until around 5PM every day. Then one morning, I tried to turn it on, but absolutely nothing happened. The only indicator that was lit, which is always lit, is the plugged into AC indicator. Note: I am a TV, etc. (not computer) serviceman. I won't go into details of the tests I performed, which included testing the power switch. . I removed a dead (!!) RTC/CMOS battery. Note: When the laptop "worked", there was no sign (loss of time/date) that the RTC/CMOS battery was going bad. I put this laptop in a box (main battery removed). About 5 days later, I hooked it up to AC, but left the main battery out (RTC/CMOS battery removed). When I tried to turn it on, absolutely nothing happened so I put it back in the box (main battery removed). Over a month later, I hooked up the laptop (main battery removed & no RTC battery). When I pressed the power button, it booted up!!!!!!! I repeated shut down and power up. It boots up every time, although I see a warning message caused by no RTC/CMOS battery. I installed a new RTC/CMOS battery. I now use it on AC without the main battery installed. When I shut it down for the day, I remove AC power via the switch on the power strip. Can someone explain this MYSTERY??? Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC.

Is there any simple test to eliminate one of those possibilities (for a completely dead computer - no lights, no fans, no hard disk activity, nothing)? I have read that it is possible to check the power supply by temporarily shorting two pins together, but I don't know which two pins, and I don't know if that will work without any load on the power supply. I do have a voltmeter, however. Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880452

    - Successful AWE64 ISA PnP installation! Recently, I posted a message to this newsgroup, the subject was - ISA Plug and Play not working (clean install) I am very pleased to say that I have fixed the problem: I am now able to insert an AWE64 ISA PnP sound card inside the Win98SE PC, and the PC correctly identifies it, and everything appears to be working great. Summary of fixed problem: I think that the Value AWE64 card that I was using (before a 2nd AWE64 *gold* card arrived this morning for me to test) may have been faulty. Carefully examining one the only configurable jumper, which allows the user to disable midi functionality (I think), it looked damaged. Also, perhaps the "ISA slot pins" were dirty, I'm not too sure, maybe it also needed cleaning? I'd really like to thank everyone on this newsgroup forum who took the time to help me out with this problem, I'm so grateful for all the really excellent advice I received. Thank you, Best regards from Robert. PS: Gary, I'd still love those CDs please! :o) Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880429

    - Acronis Disk Director has caused a serious problem on my PC I thought I'd install Acronis Disk Director (version 10) on to my new Windows 98SE PC. I wanted to make a backup of my HDD by copying the whole C:\ partition. When Disk Director rebooted to perform this operation, I get a Windows Protection Fault, and the only way I can now use my computer is if I boot into safe mode. Please can someone tell me how to remove Disk Director so that I can boot-up my PC normally, without needing to go into safe mode? The problem is that when I try to boot-up in normal mode, Disk Director tries to perform its operation and it seriously fails every time. Thanks a lot, best regards, Robert.

    - How do you update Windows 98? On this Microsoft webpage - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239937/kb/239937 It tells me about the availability of "Microsoft Windows 98 Customer Service Pack". I am assuming that this is a big all-in-one update to Windows 98, which is what I am after. In the above-mentioned article, it says - Windows 98 Customer Service Pack is available for download from the Windows Update Web site: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ The problem I am having at the moment is that if I go to the above webpage (using my XP-based PC), I get automatically redirected to - http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us This appears to be the new Microsoft update service. In the FAQ section on this webpage, it says that the "Supported versions and languages" are 2003, XP and 2000 -- no mention of 98. My question is -- is it possible to download an "all-in-one" (or maybe just a couple of large bundled updates for instance) Windows 98SE update pack, using an XP-based PC connected to the internet?

    - Having problem downloading big files !! Help !!! I am using ADSL, 2Mbit / s connection. Lately am having much difficulties in downloading big files. Downloading stops at around the point of 50 MByte or so. Just stay there, no error message, just stay there. Nothing. At first I thought it was IE that went nuts. So I tried downloading with FireFox. Same things happen. Then I tried Opera. Same thing ! If I use download manager like WellGet, the file can be downloaded, no problem. But if I try downloading large files with browsers, it just stay there, around 50 MBytes, it didn't say "error" or something, the download line still open, but even if I left it overnight, it still stays there. Dunno what the heck is wrong. Last time it was okay. Even when I downloaded ISO images (over 700MB sizes) it was okay. Now ... every browser gives me the "stop and wait, wait, wait" thing. Is there something to do with registry or TCPIP setting? I haven't do anything about those two, but can't guarantee if there's any trogan/ virus that has altered the settings. How to check? So far, if I use download manager, it still downloads. But there are times download managers can't be use, such as if I need to download files from RapidShare or other file serving sites, then the download just sits there, waiting, waiting, waiting ... Oh, I've tried rebooting. I've even try clearing browser cookies/ cache, everything. Just that the problem still persists ! Can you help, please? Thank you ! Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880321

    - Having problem downloading big files !! Help !!! I am using ADSL, 2Mbit / s connection. Lately am having much difficulties in downloading big files. Downloading stops at around the point of 50 MByte or so. Just stay there, no error message, just stay there. Nothing. At first I thought it was IE that went nuts. So I tried downloading with FireFox. Same things happen. Then I tried Opera. Same thing ! If I use download manager like WellGet, the file can be downloaded, no problem.

    - Life after Windows 98SE For several years I have been dreading the day when my old 300 MHz P11 Windows 98 machine could no longer cut it. That happened recently with the failure of my master hard drive. Fortunately, my slave was a bootable clone of the master so with a jumper change, I got back up and running. But the handwriting was on the wall so I started looking for a new machine. After much personal research, and advice from knowledgeable friends (all of whom said, "avoid Vista like the plague"), I was able to get an Intel-based, dual core Dell XP model that met my relatively modest needs for a bit over $500, less display. Surprisingly, It worked fine out of the box. I was able to use my existing 19" flat panel display and my "natural" angled keyboard with the help of a $15, PS2-to-USB adaptor. Since my scanner and printer were ancient ten-year-olds, I found a middle grade, all-in-one Canon unit for $130. I love it. To my delight, I found that by configuring XP in the "classical" mode, I was able to emulate the look and feel of Windows 98SE. As I am the only user, I avoided the cmos administrator and user passwords so that when I press the "on" button, it boots right up ready for use in about half the time of my old machine. I also opted out of all the MS "protection", staying with my comfortable old freebies, Avast!, ZoneAlarm, AdAware, Host file, SpywareBlaster and SpyBot S&D. The end result is that the main differences I see between my reliable, but slooow old 98SE machine and my new one is the lightning speed with which everything happens and the smooth video renditions that were so jerky and out-of-sync with the old dog. Also, I should add that I haven't had a crash in the 3 weeks I have been using it. At the suggestion of several on this board, I have kept the old machine handy so that with a quick change of the display, internet connection and keyboard, I can be back in business with it. I did that several times during the first week or so but I am finding that the speed of the new machine is so addictive that I probably won't be reverting very often. So, the message for you Windows 98SE guys, who like me, just couldn't bear the thought of moving out of your comfort zone, is that you may be surprised at how little you lose and how much you can benefit by moving up to an XP-based dual core machine. The cost is surprisingly low and the result is a machine with the look and feel of a very fast 98SE PC. A word about XP availability. Dell seems to be the only ready- made PC supplier who still offers XP. You can still go to the customs guys for it but MS plans to quit selling it by the end of this year AFAIK. And, of course if you want to be daring, you could go for Vista and hope they get it cleaned up soon. Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880319

    - DeskJet 932C won't install I am trying to install a HP DeskJet 932C printer on a PC that is running Windows 98 Second Edition. The driver installation software (autorun.exe), from a third party download, won't run at all on the PC. There is no apparent opening of the program and no error messages are produced. Why is there no response to the program? What can I do to get this printer installed? The Win98 SE CD does not contain drivers for the 932C as it was first marketed in year 2000. The downloaded installation software runs OK on another PC running Windows 98 First Edition. I do not have the original HP installation CD. Note: HP is no longer providing product support and / or drivers on their website for the 932C printer running on Windows 95 through Windows ME. Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880309

    - ISA Plug and Play not working (clean install) Are there are any noteworthy BIOS or Windows 98 settings I need to be aware of to get Win98 successfully installed on a QDI Advance 9 or 10 mobo? (VIA chipset). The reason I ask is that I am having a problem with Win98's ISA Plug and Play mechanism. Win98 is unable to detect any PnP ISA cards. Please note this occurs with the CMOS settings cleared and a clean Win98 install, plus I'm just using a basic VGA graphics card only, or occasionally this graphics card with a Soundblaster AWE64 (PnP ISA). For either hardware configuration mentioned above, inside Device Manager there appears to be some kind of resource problem with this System resource: "IO read data port for ISA Plug and Play enumerator" Looking at the configuration details, there's a conflict with both the Secondary IDE Controller (dual fifo) and also with VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller. I've tried changing the above-mentioned "ISA PnP enumerator's" resources to fix the conflict, but my changes don't appear to make an effect. Also, I don't seem to be able to adjust either of the two conflicting Controller's IRQ values, although I'm not too sure if that would help. I went to the chipset maker (VIA) website and downloaded a "4-in-1" chipset driver package and installed it, but unfortunately it didn't fix the problem. The BIOS appears to be on its latest revision. I also scoured the net's newsgroups and couldn't find any help that I haven't already tried. Thanks a lot if anyone can help, best regards, Robert.

    - anti( MBR) rootkit that runs on win 98? is there perhaps a GMER or similar w98 version or maybe an antivirus package that has a lot of rootkit deifinitions as well? Tag: WAV files needed Tag: 880281

I'm looking for a complete set of the system sound files that came
with Windows 98 (startup, shutdown, etc.) I know this a tall order,
but would anyone mind emailing these WAV files to me? It's easy
enough to do. The files can be found in the control panel >sounds.
Just copy and paste them to a new folder, then zip....and send! If I
can return the favor, let me know. I'm running Windows XP.

Those files of course are located in folder
C:\WINDOWS\Media

I emailed them to you.

Rick

oh ps, you do realize that even though you left a space out in your email on
the post, but still you used your real email address when making your post
which is contained within its properties, and so many of the internet spam
bots will auto pick it up anyway.
