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?

CD PLAYER PROBLEM
The CD drive in my Inspiron 7000 reads and opens things like pdf files, but
will not play commercial or burned CDs. WinMediaPlayer message says it
cannot handle this type file (.cda)
Sometimes another message says, "Unable to find file".
I re-installed WMPlayer, check all the file associations, refreshed drivers,
all to no avail.

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

Windows Live - no more Outlook Express
Just received notice that there is a new client needed soon to access
Hotmail and Live accounts, which apparently only supports XP and Vista.
The reason: Microsoft has created another proprietary protocol DeltaSynch
to replace its previous proprietary protocol DAV.
Someone tell me why users should install ANOTHER Microsoft problematic
creation?
Another brilliantly stupid idea from Microsoft. So what do others think
about this...

Dead Computer - Power Supply or Motherboard?
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: $$$ on line hero $$$ 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.

Windows Protection Error Again!
I posted this problem a few weeks ago and got it resolved, but it has
resurfaced. A few facts are different this time.
SAME AS THE LAST TIME:
I have Windows 98 Second edition. I made no changes to my computer in the
recent past. All of the sudden, when I boot up I get this message "Windows
Protection Error." It suggests that I open in safe mode. I am able to do
that. What do I have to do to get rid of this problem and start using my
computer in the normal mode?
NEW FACTS
Bootlog.txt shows the following errors this time.
Load Failed: ndis2sup.vxd
initfailure: esdi_506.pdr
initcompletefailed = sdvxd
dynamicload failed: nuwav.dre : File not found

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.

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?
Thanks a lot, best regards, Robert. Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 880354

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?

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: $$$ on line hero $$$ 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: $$$ on line hero $$$ 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. Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 880299

computer security: CS
The CC [Common Criteria] has a test rating called the EAL [Evaluation
Assurance Level]. I have read that win2k for biz has an EAL 4+. This is
without any of the critical updates and I have read in wiki that there are
at most 7 levels of EAL and anything past 4 is like NSA certified for
government special services employing kernel layer CS policies. By far more
than any of us would ordinarily need. Does anyone know what the EAL is for
win98se is, and where to find this data at MS or a qualified significant
other? Does win98.x have sufficient kernel layer CS policies in place? Some
people believe win 2k pro was the best that MS ever built; is there a place
to find out about other MS OS like xp and Vista and Longhorn etc.? Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 880266
Antivirus Software
I have heard about some free versions of software packages that one can
download and use to check W98ME systems for viruses, but I do not know if any
of them could be launched at the Dos Prompt. There may be times when a System
may fail to boot successfully and the only way to get anywhere is by using a
Start-up Diskette. Is there some way to check for viruses at the C: Prompt?

Bootup - Shutdown logger
I would like to produce a (text) file that shows when (date & time) bootup is
completed and when shutdown is initiated. The file needs to append itself
everytime bootup and shutdown occurs, i.e the file grows bigger with time.
For example, over a year period the file will probably have many hundreds of

Can't Install MicrSoft Bookshelf 94

needs VGA or better and the installation stops with no apparent work around.

Any USB DOS mouse drivers (useful for some boot disks, etc)?
(Before anyone asks: yes, I know there are a couple of DOS newsgroups on
the microsoft server, but they are unpopulated (been "there" already).
I'm looking for a USB mouse driver for DOS access (for a new Dell without
USB legacy BIOS support). Some boot disks use DOS, but I can't find any
USB mouse drivers that work for me. I've been doing some research on the
net, and in the Dell user forums, and know some such drivers do exist, but:
1. There is no legacy USB support "option" in my new Dell computer's BIOS,
but the "USB controller" option in BIOS is enabled, of course.
2. I've tried "usbmice" (with OCHI and UHCI drivers), and also DUSE, but
none of them work on my PC with a simple optical mouse. Does anybody know
of any others?
3. If a driver doesn't exist that will work on this PC, would it instead be
possible to add some I/O card (or a PS/2 card) and get a PS/2 mouse instead,
or something along those lines, to allow for mouse support (in these DOS
boot disks, or other DOS apps)?
Thanks, if anyone has any ideas!

Network Logon is set at Windows Logon, such that when users logon on to

Meta Tag In SEO - Search Engine Optimization (SEO Services Delhi,
India)
Meta tags are HTML codes that are inserted into the header on a web
page, after the title tag. They take a variety of forms and serve a
variety of purposes, but in the context of search engine optimization
when people refer to meta tags, they are usually referring to the meta
description tag and the meta keywords tag. Meta tag are information
inserted into the "head" area of your web pages. Other than the title
tag nformation in the head area of your web pages is not seen by those
viewing your pages in browsers. Instead, meta information in this area
is used to communicate information that a human visitor may not be
concerned with. Meta tags, for example, can tell a browser what
"character set" to use or whether a web page has self-rated itself in
terms of adult content.
The meta description tag and the meta keywords tag were proposed so
that webmasters would have a consistent method for providing meta
document data to user agents, such as search engines. Unfortunately,
so many unscrupulous webmasters have abused the meta description and
meta keywords tag that search engines have had to de-emphasize their
importance. In addition to the well-known meta description and meta
keywords tags, there are other useful meta tags, including the meta
http-equiv tag, meta refresh tag, the meta robots tag, the meta
copyright tag, and the meta author tag, among others. These tags are
used to instruct user agents such as web browsers and search engine
spiders on a variety of topics.

Getting Thumped trying to Thunk.
:confused: Getting Thumped trying to Thunk.
I have a Legacy 16-bit application that generates Lessons for Education. The
Lessons generated need to run on school computers from Windows 98 through
Windows XP. These Lessons also need to exchange information with remote
servers using XMLHTTP. I have 32-bit DLLs that can do the data exchange using
XMLHTTP tested out OK. I need to be able to exchange integer values, strings
and status between the 16-bit Lessons and the 32-bit DLLs. The Legacy 16-bit
Lessons can link with 16-bit DLLs. I have tested this and it works OK. But
the 16-bit Lessons are not able to link to 32-bit DLLs directly.
The plan is to build 16-bit DLLs that link with the 16-bit Lessons and then
use flat thunks between the 16-bit DLLs and 32-bit DLLs to get the
communication functions that are needed. I am using the methods described in
KB154093 "How To Call 32-bit Code from 16-bit Code Under Windows 95, Windows
98, or Windows Millennium Edition" in building the 16-bit DLLs, thunking
script and 32-bit DLLs.
Quite a bit of information is missing. There does not seem to be any
documentation on thunk.exe, the thunking compiler. There does not seem to be
any documentation on the thunking script language. The formats for the
integer and other variable types changed between the 16-bit and 32-bit DLLs.
I am not sure what data format the thunk script is using in its declarations.
I am using VC++ 1.52 to build the 16-bit DLLs. I am using VC++ 6.0 to build
the 32-bit DLLs. I am using thunk.exe, rc.exe and ml.exe found in the Win98
DDK to build the flat thunk as instructed. I have scraped up enough
information on the web to build the DLLs and the flat thunk. It compiles and
links OK but any information received by the 16 bit DLL from the 32 bit DLL
appears to be corrupted by the flat thunk. I can not send constants as int,
WORD, DWORD, LONG or LPSTR from the 32 bit DLL to the 16 bit DLL. ALL values
from the 32 bit DLL seem to be corrupted no matter the data type. I am not
yet able to test data from the 16-bit DLL to the 32-bit DLL until I can get
the correct data returned. I am trying very simple and straight forward tests.
I am building and running these components on a Windows XP Professional
system for testing.
Does anyone know why this method described in the KB article does not work?
Does anyone know how to exchange data between 16-bit DLLs and 32 Bit DLLs
that will work on Win98 through WinXP systems?
Does flat thunks as described not work on WinXP systems?
Does anyone know where I can find documentation on the thunk.exe and
thunking script?
I greatly appreciate any assistance.

Stop the system from changing focus to another program
As one might expect here, I have windows 98SE.
My email program used to grab the focus of the system sometimes when
new email came in. Lately, it grabs it every time, I think. And
Eudora is on top, when I'm trying to look at something else.
My browser, FireFox2, also grabs the focus when a page is loading. It
can do it 3 times for just one screen, at different stages.
It's driving me crazy.
CAn I turn off the switching of focus to the program that has
retrieved new files, or whatever the rule is here? Can I just turn it
off altogether so that I am the sole decisor of what program is on
top?

installation problems
Okay, so now that I've got my hardware drivers all in place (or most of
them), I'm installing a couple of applications, but I've run into a bit of
trouble.
When trying to install "Mavis Beakon Teaches Typing Deluxe, v. 16", about a
third of the way through the installation I get the message "Cannot update
uninstaller log file. Current File: *.*" I had this app running on this PC
before reinstalling Windows, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried
installing an earlier version I had around (v. 12.01), but about two-thirds
of the way through I got an error that simple read "Current File: *.*" In
both cases, after clicking OK, the installation shut down. Because I got a
similar error in both cases, I'm assuming the problem isn't with the software
CD (both of which I've used on my other PCs), right? Any idea?
Also, I was wondering what I should do in the way of antivirus/spyware
removal/etc. This PC's never really been connected to the net before, so it
didn't have much of a need for it. I've installed AVG free; anything else
necessary? Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 880048
Installing my monitor
(first, sorry for not answering the questions addressed to me last time I
asked a question like this; I didn't realize there were new responses to my
question!)
I've recently reinstalled Windows 98 on an old PC; I completely wiped the
drive and started over. Now, I'm looking for drivers for my monitor--a
Samsung Syncmaster 753df--as I can't set the resolution any higher 640 x 480
(before the reinstall, I had it at at least 1024 x 786). I've searched all
over the net (especially driversguide.com) but haven't succeeded in finding
anything that works. I've tried using the installation disk that came with
the monitor, but when I try to run the executable on it (which works fine on
another old win98 laptop), I get
This program has perfomed an illegal operation and will be shut down
Details: MONSETUP caused an invalid page fault in module DIRAPI.DLL at
015f:68085667
The number at the end is the same each time I try this. I can't think of
anything else to do, as I've looked for drivers, replaced dll files, etc all
to no avail. Any help at all would be appreciated. Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 880034
Application program only runs in Win98 "Safe Mode"
I am trying to run the drawing program AutoSketch V2.1 in Win98 SE "Normal
Mode". It always returns the error message: Illegal operation - Sketch caused
a general protection fault in module SKETCH.EXE at 0090:000007703. The
program will shut down. Also, the mouse operates strangely until I close
AutoSketch down. AutoSketch runs OK if I run it under Win98 SE "Safe Mode".
What does this suggest and what can I do about it? Tag: $$$ on line hero $$$ Tag: 880027
Display reduced to 16 colors, low screen resolution
After removing an unfamiliar screensaver program, screen resolution is less
