    - Opening Opera web pages on my computer This is sort of a general question in Windows 98, so if this is the wrong group I'm sorry. A while ago I changed the default browser in my Win 98 computer from IE to Opera. At around the same time, I think, all the web pages saved on my computer changed their icon to the Opera icon from the IE icon. But now I see that when I click on one of these saved web pages, it doesn't open the document, it just activates the Opera application. If I hold shift and right click the html document's icon, and choose the Open With dialog box, and choose Opera, the same thing happens: the Opera application gets activated, but the document does not open. However, if I use the Open With dialog and choose IE or Firefox, the document opens normally in IE or Firefox. How can I simply open the web page in Opera? Alternatively, can I assign the html file type to open in IE or Firefox, even while leaving Opera as my default browser? Thanks. Larry Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878746

    - Microsoft Slapped by EU With $1.35B Fine Here is what Micro$oft has been up to lately regarding their desire to abide by the rule of law and the respect of the courts. Now explain to me again why we should abide by Macroshaft's EULA's. What a joke - no, what a fraud of a company. Their best years are clearly behind them. -------------------------------------- http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/02/microsoft-slapp.html Microsoft Slapped by EU With $1.35B Fine By Betsy Schiffman February 27, 2008 The European Commission stands to make a tidy profit off Microsoft's objectionable business practices. The commission fined Microsoft a record ?899 million, or $1.35 billion, for failing to comply with its previous 2004 antitrust ruling (in which the company was fined the equivalent of $613 million). The commission found that Microsoft unreasonably charged third-parties for access to documentation that would allow them to develop compatible software for Windows-based computers. Essentially, Microsoft now has to pay more than double what it would have four years ago for its unwillingness to comply with the commission's previous order. Still, for Microsoft it's just the cost of doing business. "The company previously said [the fine] could be as high as $1.5 billion, so from that standpoint, it's better than what it could have been," says Sid Parakh, an analyst with McAdams Wright Ragen. "The more important thing going forward are the two remaining cases." An equally important question is how this ruling bodes for the Microsoft-Yahoo deal. If it's taken Google nearly a year to clear its acquisition of DoubleClick with European regulators -- and it hasn't closed yet -- will Microsoft have better luck clearing the Yahoo deal? "The acquisition of Yahoo would certainly be closely looked at -- especially at how it will affect the consumer," Parakh says. "But it's hard to say how the commission will respond. At this point, it's fair to say that Google is the big market share leader in search. But you never know what aspect of the deal will be scrutinized by the commission." Other costs for behaving badly: Microsoft agrees to pay Sun Microsystems $700 million to settle an antitrust case, and an additional $900 million to resolve patent issues. (April 2004) Microsoft ordered to pay Eolas $521 million in a patent infringement case related to Internet Explorer. (March 2005) Microsoft agrees to pay IBM $775 million to settle an antitrust case. (July 2005) Microsoft agrees to pay RealNetworks $761 million to settle an antitrust case. (October 2005) Microsoft agrees to pay $179 million to Iowa consumers and businesses in a class-action antitrust case. (February 2007) Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878705

    - Ad-Aware I know that this post does not belong here but I have no choice this is the only place I will get an answer. I have no Ad-aware SE, since December 31, 2007 you can not get definition updates and they tell you to get Ad-Aware 2007, but it seems that it does not support Windows 98, and I have Windows 98.

    - Need Help Re-Installing MS Works 4.5 My Packard Bell Win98 came with MS Works 4.5 pre-installed,and for reasons unknown, some of the functions are no longer working. when I attempt to reinstall it with the setup.exe file, located in the MS Works folder, it ask me to insert the MS Works cdrom. The only disk that I have that came with this pc is a Packard Bell Companion CD disk and the Master Recovery Disk. The Companion CD contains the initial Win98 installation files. I upgraded to Win98 SE (have that CD disk also)sometime ago. Which one of these disk would I go about locating the necessary re-installation file(s) and how would I go about it? I don't want to reinstall the entire system, just the MS Works application. Any help is greatly appreciated -- Zo "Wanted: Part-time married girls for soda fountain in sandwich shop."

    - Cleaning up Windows 98 As I previous submitted in the "Windows 98 updates" thread, my parent's system seems to be a mess. Are there any "Free" downloads out there that you can suggest in helping me get this thing cleaned up SAFELY. For instance, is Spybot good to run for spyware and is AVAST better than AVG as a Virus protection ? I uninstalled their Norton as it was not updated in some time and was using too much resources and seem to be reeking havoc on the system. I also saw a site called CCleaner that does quite a bit. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Again !! Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878682

    - Windows 98 updates My parents are still using Windows 98 and their system is at a snails-pace, and often freezes up. I started by checking for updates and realized it's been some time since they did this themselves. It showed 13 Critical Updates and 43 Windows 98 SE updates, I know, WOW. Anyways, it downloaded all the updates but will NOT install them. Any reason why, or how to get them installed ? perhaps doing them individually ? Thought I'd ask here before going throught that pain staking process. Thanks for your time. Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878680

    - mysterious file E--APPRO.PRI I have discovered this mysterious file on my HD: Name: E--APPRO.PRI Size: 0 bytes Created: 05 March 2040 14:33:01 Modified: 04 November 2037 13:35:10 Accessed: 23 February 2008 Its Attributes are ReadOnly and Archive and I cannot change them (error message "Unable to set the attributes for ...") Since the attributes are unchanging, it appears in every incremental backup I make using WinZip. I do not have any LocoScript software (Web search reveals .PRI as a file extension used by LocoScript). As far as I know it's not doing any harm but I'd like to know what it is, what created it, whether I can get rid of it. It's in a folder 4 levels down from the root E: and containing no other files. FAT32 partition (E:, not C:) using Win98SE. (P.S. I believe my PC is free of viruses and spyware).

    - Spybot Problem - A Workaround Some of you may be finding that the latest versions of Spybot S&D (1.5.1 and above) won't run on 98, giving the following error: "Exception EAccessViolation in module SPYBOTSD.EXE at 002E 6098. Access violation at address 006E 609B in module 'SPYBOTSD.EXE'. Read of address FFFFFFFF." Someone on the Spybot forums has come up with a workaround, namely that you start Dr Watson first, *then* run Spybot. It seems to work. Safer-Networking claim that the problem is caused by Windows memory management, but I'm not convinced. Hope this helps. -- Regards Nigel Stapley www.judgemental.plus.com <reply-to will bounce> Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878626

    - I had planned to tell you about something great Much of this post is written for a win98 audience, but not all of it. I had planned to tell you about something great, about software for win98 that would soon disappear, so you should get it now. But now I'm not sure what to say. I'm talking about free photo arranging and editing software. When developing film, I've been getting a copy put on CD, and this would also apply to digital camera images. I've been getting one roll done at as many different processors as possible. Kodak, Ritz Camera (is that only around here?), Walmart, and any place else that seems to use a different processor, because each processor has its own software on the CD. More about the others later, but the Walmart CD, processing by Fujica, seemed to be maybe the best and certainly the one with the most interesting story. It has a viewer on the CD which worked fine, and had in itself the abiltiy to email photos, complete with photo compression, by a factor of 10, to make uploading and downloading go more quickly**. This is something my email program alone can't do. And I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to be able to burn photos to a CD too, and while one could do that with Nero etc. I think this will turn out to be better integrated with the viewer. I can send the software to anywho wants, but it's probably not necessary as you will see below. When closing the viewer, it then as promised gives one the opportunity to install an editor, called the Photo Manager, which it says has the ability to get out red eye, to adjust contrast, brigntess, color, and something else. Normally I wouldn't bother, but there are occasional pictures that really could use improvement, and if it works well and is easy, maybe even more could. So I do that and the software install gets all the way to the copy files step, and when it is almost done, it stops, the progress bar goes backwards, and it says it couldn't install, it has not left anything in my system (except it turns out 3 files in the temp directory, but that's not much) and to try again. Trying again and again gives the same problem. When the progress bar reverses, in small print very quickly it displays "rolling back actions"! So I called the Walmart Photo Customer service, and they (the woman I talked to asked someone else) didn't know the answers, knew about printing pictures for customers but not about software. So I wrote the email address given, and I think a computer read the email and because I had made one passing reference to the Walmart Photo Center, wrote back about that only. So I wrote again, spelling it Foto Sentre, and this time I got an email that addressed the Photo Manager. But what did it say? "We received your email and we no longer use the photo manager, you can know upload your pictures straight from our site." The misspelling of "now" makes it seem that the email was written by a real person, but otoh, I knew a cook in the WWII army who said that for every 1000 powdered eggs, they would throw in one real egg shell to make the soldiers think they were getting real eggs. I wouldn't put it past corporations to put mistakes in computer-generated letters to make them seem real (although the first email I got had no such errors, and it was even more likely to be computer-generated. But anyhow, they "no longer use the photo manager"!!! This despite the fact that they include the software, separately from the viewer, on the CD I got only 8 days earlier, and they have a win2000/XP version available for download on the Walmart photo webpage!!! It sounds like she's flat out lying to me, but in case she wasn't, I didn't reply to her on this because fore the people with win2000/XP, I want the software to be still available. What they want me to do is to upload any picture I take to their wegsite and to edit them there. A) Sometimes I go to my parents and that's a great opportunity to do things I don't have time to do at home, but they only have dial-up. My laptop isn't even set up for dial-up and it it were, I don't want to spend hours downnloading and uploading so that I can edit from the Walmart server. B) Sometiems I go camping at various places in the woods, or I spend a day at the beach. No internet there at all, but plenty of time to edit pictures on my laptop. It is a self-centered power-grab for Walmart to take away the software that worked on the customers' computers and replace it with what only works from their server. (If they had never offered the better software, I wouldn't know and wouldn't complain, but they did, so I do.) Failing in this course, I tried another: I had noted that when the viewer started up, it said something like "Preclick Powered", so I guessend and went to www.preclick.com and that has some good stuff. First check out this page, for all of their software and their cooperative software, written for a particular customer: http://www.preclick.com/products/?PHPSESSID=86771250d9387c7afb86d5c0a3b41e57#ppd For one thing, it has the preclick software which definitely works under win98SE and is pretty useful. IPM; PhotoMovieMaker; Gold (photo orgainizer. That's what I dl'd, installed, and like);Back; and Wiki. The HP co-branded stuff says it only works on win2000/XP/Vista. But the Costco stuff doesn't say that. http://www.preclick.com/demo/costco/ Either: http://www.costcophotocenter.com/organizer/ which has for download: *** http://preclick.com/builds/Costco/1.4.0.96/CostcoOrganizer1.4.0.96Signed.exe This version also reversed its installation like the Walmart version** did! So could some Win98 guru try installing this and see if there is some way I can get it to work for myself. I think you also will like having it if you can get it to work. **The win98 Walmart version isn't on the web, only on the CD that I paid for when I got them to develop my film. I could send that to anyone who wants, but the Costco version seem to have tbe same problem and is probably similar in function. OR, one version newer it seems, but the same problem, rolling back action: *** http://www.preclick.com/releases/partner/costco/CostcoOrganizer1.4.0.97.exe or the viewer, which includes the manager also, but which also rolls back and won't install: http://www.preclick.com/releases/partner/costco/CostcoCDViewer1.4.0.97.zip The viewer, however, is the same or almost the same as the Walmart Viewer, except for the logos. Costco is far away from me, requires a 50 dollar "membership", and sells in bulk that I can never use. And they don't say you have to be a Costco member to download this stuff. The Post-it stuff looks pretty good too, but I'm still trying to get the earlier stuff to work. The PhotoBackPack for U3 drives (flash drives) looks great, absolutely great, and it might work great to show my pictures to my brother in Dallas, who has XP. I already happen to have a 2 gig U3 drive, (Sandisk, only 20 dollars at Best Buy, more elsewhere), and it came with U3 software on it, but since I only have win98SE, I don't know if I can or how to install it. *I didnt' understand what U3 was for until I looked at this, and at www.u3.com **I would think that the picture compression can be useful. While one picture isn't much (3-500K, sometimes more) even uncompressed, they mount up quickly if you want to send 10 or 30. With just 10, now we're talking about 4 meg so getting it down to 400K total, even with broadband, is helpful. And I sent a copy to myself and the quality looks just as good as the original, at least with the kind of snapshots I was taking. I'm sorry this is so long, but I hope it is helpful. Any help with the installation problem above will be greatly appreciated*** If you are inclined to email me for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-) Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878591

    - Writing An Online Dating Service Profile? 3 Mistakes You Must Well, after 4 years of reading far in excess of 10,000 profiles of men and women searching for a partner through online dating services, I've laughed at my fair share of poorly written introductions... Of those 10,000 online dating service profiles, no more than a dozen captured our attention enough to make the first move. I'm sure that you wish to get lots of reactions to your online dating service advertisement, otherwise why would you bother joining a site, and paying a fee to meet new people? If that is the case, then make sure you avoid the following 3 mistakes at all costs: 1. "I May Be the one you're Seeking For" This may be the case. However, by employing this combination of words anywhere for your online dating service profile, you aren't telling me, or your potential suitor, anything new... What this line does say to someone checking you out is that the online dating service profiler didn't do a lot of thinking about how they wanted to present themselves. Tell people what gets your eyes twinkling or even what REALLY gets you up in the morning - and don't say it's your alarm clock, either. Now is the time to let your passions really shine through... 2. "I'm the one Your Mother Warned You About" This is, from my research in any case, virtually the most overused phrase in an opening line for online dating service profiles. True, it's the generic option of some of the larger sites (such as Lavalife or even True) - if your profile is awaiting approval, this tag line will show up while waiting for the a-okay... To avoid this, come up with something a bit more unique and original.

    - Trouble with new display and Device Manager I had trouble getting the right drivers installed for my Viewsonic LCD. Essentially I ended up booting up the machine with no drivers and Windows installed a Default Monitor. After finally getting the correct drivers installed on my computer the correct drivers where installed but the computer still thinks there's an unknown monitor attached to the machine and keeps recreating the Default Monitor at start-up. How do I fix this false detection of an unknown monitor ? Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878422

When I click on enter, the desktop appears, and everything works fine. Could this be an impending hard drive issue? Thanks! Scott Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878386

    - Very OT, size of PDF files. Don't know where else to discuss this, because afaik there id no adobe or pdf newsgroup. I bought something that came with a CD and on it was the owners manual, which was a 9 meg pdf file. Looking for later software, I went to their website and downloaded the manual, which was 2 megs. Strangely, they look identical, each 68 pages, and when I alt-tab from one to the other in Acrobat, I can't see any difference in quality. Anyone have experience with this.

    - FAT32 size issues, _just_ about size? Is the issue with FAT32 and Win9x, if I've understood the problem correctly, simply about the size of one directory, or is it also an issue of the size of the entire hdd. My reason for concern is, other hardware issues aside first, could we run Win9x on a large 200gig computer if it were partitioned into the 32gig (or whatever max size actually is) pieces? Or is the 200gig an issue right off the bat? Thanks. Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878375

    - How to read harddrive that was once too big for mobo. How to read harddrive that was once too big for mobo? I have a hard drive that was too big for the mobo that I first used it on. I think it is 800 Meg (but I'll check again if it matters) and when I bought it, I think Western Digital had a remapping program that allowed the drive to pretent to the mobo that its geometry was different from reality. I tried connecting it as a slave, setting the jumpers correctly, and iirc, it wasn't recognized at all. I bought an enclosure and hooked it up to the USB port, and although the computer seees the enclosure and installs or loads the HDUSB stuff, the drive never shows up on any drive list. Conecting it as a master drive has its own problems, which see below, and furthermore, I have another drive from the same persion which was never a master drive and doesn't have an OS on it. So I can't connect it as the master drive. Wot should I do? I have a Promise card that would have iiuc enabled me to run these drives without the remapping software that it uses, but wouldn't the remapping software still run since it is there, regardless of whether it is plugged into the new, powerful mobo, or the Promise card? When I was using this drive as my master drive, when the computer booted up, just after the very beginning of start-up, a white box with blue text, or something, displayed, giving notice that this software was running. Now I have a newer mobo and much bigger hd's, but I want to get some data off of this HD. I tried last October, and iirc I couldn't use it as a slave drive. So I used it as the master and made my primary a slave. It gave all kinds of warnings at the start that convinced me it wouldn't start, but somehow it did, and I got the data I needed then. However after I shut down, and removed the drive, and reset my real drive as Single Drive, it wouldn't start. (I was leaving on a long business trip the next day and had a friend coming in to download my email, so I was really bothered. ) I controlled my panic and booted from a floppy, and sys'ed the HD and bingo, it worked again. How did the old HD un-sys or de-sys or re-sys the newer HD while it was temporarily a slave? How can I avoid this from happening altogether. Thanks a lot.

    - RE: SPYWARE (FREE DOWNLOAD) Margie, On 13 Feb 08, I downloaded SpyBot 1.5.1.12 with latest detection update 2/13/2008 to my Windows 98 SE and it seems to work fine. The day before I had downloaded update 2/06/2008, ran it and removed a lot of "stuff" I didn't want. This seems to be their web site: http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html . My son put SpyBot on my computer a few years ago and I just 'update' it without plugging in their web site to get the updates; however, I just went to their web site to get the info for you. Here is the web site of a columnist (Betty Champagne) who offers free advice and refers us to many 'free" programs http://www.bitsnpcs.info . Many of her articles are archived on the site. Good luck!

    - Folder Options!!! Hello, is there anybody out there!!! win98se OS I have a dilemma. I was setting up separate Profiles for the different Users in Passwords on this machine along with ICS in a study of NAT capabilities of a SS4100 modem. *_ I noticed that some of the Desktop folders for another user that were not the correct folder type as oem boot like on My Desktop, in particular the systems folders. So I went into Folder Options and clicked reset all folders...*_ This "little" move erased all the very important program files that were in a folder(s) or shortcut folder(s) that I had on My Desktop and all the other desktops. This is a disaster. Luckily, I can find some of these programs with Find File and Folders but the path is the same as the shortcut folder or the my New folders i.e. folders that I created that are now "empty". Also, My Docs seem unaffected by the reset. WTF did I do to deserve this bug? Any thoughts here would be helpful. *_ snow and black ice.

    - US CERTS Combined This post concerns issues in Windows [not us/9X] IE, and other,. the second segment concerns exploits in PDF documents. As 9x can not use the newer Reader versions, disable Java, html connections, and other aspects in the 9X reader [see its settings to disable], or use something like Foxit Reader to help avoid potential issues. Your firewall can also be used to block Adobe Reader's access to the outside world. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 National Cyber Alert System Technical Cyber Security Alert TA08-043C Microsoft Updates for Multiple Vulnerabilities Original release date: February 12, 2008 Last revised: February 12, 2008 Source: US-CERT Systems Affected * Microsoft Windows * Microsoft Internet Explorer * Microsoft Office * Microsoft Visual Basic * Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Overview Microsoft has released updates that address critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, Visual Basic and Internet Information Services (IIS). Exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code, gain elevated privileges, or crash a vulnerable system. I. Description Microsoft has released updates to address vulnerabilities that affect Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, Visual Basic and Internet Information Services (IIS) as part of the Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for February 2008. The most severe vulnerabilities could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. For more information, see the US-CERT Vulnerability Notes Database. II. Impact A remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code, gain elevated privileges, or cause a denial of service. III. Solution Apply updates from Microsoft Microsoft has provided updates for these vulnerabilities in the February 2008 security bulletins. The security bulletins describe any known issues related to the updates. Administrators are encouraged to note these issues and test for any potentially adverse effects. Administrators should consider using an automated update distribution system such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). IV.

The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. I. Description Adobe Security advisory APSA08-01 addresses a number of vulnerabilities affecting the Adobe Acrobat family of products, including Adobe Reader. Acrobat versions 8.1.1 and earlier are affected. Further details are available in the US-CERT Vulnerability Notes Database. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a user to load a specially crafted Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file. Acrobat integrates with popular web browsers, and visiting a web site is usually sufficient to cause Acrobat to load PDF content. At least one of these vulnerabilities is being actively exploited. The SANS Internet Storm Center Handler's Diary contains more information. II. Impact The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. The most severe of these vulnerabilities allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. III. Solution Upgrade Upgrade Adobe Reader or Acrobat to version 8.1.2 according to the information in Adobe Security advisory APSA08-01. Disable web browser display for PDF documents Preventing PDF documents from opening inside a web browser may mitigate this vulnerability. Applying the following workaround in conjunction with upgrading may prevent similar vulnerabilities from being automatically exploited. To prevent PDF documents from automatically being opened in a web browser with Acrobat or Reader: 1. Open Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. 2. Open the Edit menu. 3. Choose the Preferences option. 4. Choose the Internet section. 5. De-select the "Display PDF in browser" check box. Disable automatic opening of PDF documents in Microsoft Internet Explorer To disable automatic opening of PDF files in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), a second step is required. To configure IE to prompt before opening a PDF file, disable the "Display PDF in browser" feature (as described above) and then make the following changes to the Windows registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document.7] "EditFlags"=hex:00,00,00,00 Disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader and Acrobat Disabling JavaScript in Adobe Reader and Acrobat may prevent this vulnerability from being exploited. In Acrobat Reader, JavaScript can be disabled in the General preferences dialog (Edit --> Preferences --> JavaScript, de-select Enable Acrobat JavaScript). IV.

    - Video Card for an older Dell - Should I install a new one? Hi, My video card was working great until a crash required my reloading Windows 98. From then on I never was able to make it work correctly, despite lots of help here and originally from Dell before the Windows 98 support went off. (The sound is not working, either, but it is the picture quality I need fixed) Since this is an old obsession, I have to revisit the situation. I would like to know if starting over by replacing the video card for a new one with its new software would likely solve my problem. I feel there is no sense in going through all the steps to repair again and again, as I did before. Also, are video cards specific to the computer and operating system, as I think they are? My reason to do this is that I have many 3 1/2 discs with family photos and they are all compacted using a Windows 98 DOS program that does not work on Windows XP, my current laptop OS. The photographs come up so bad on the screen that I cannot even see if they are worthwhile to save. I know how to do the save and use them on the laptop, although it is not easy and I do not want to bother with a bunch of pictures of no use. I'll give the computer away as soon as I know there is are no further use for it. Thanks, George Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878235

    - cd not reading in win98 1st edition hello, I've been trying to get an old PB 910 to read the cd with no luck ( the PB group has been trying to help me solve this also). It is win 98 and the cd flashes as power up starts and displays itself on the initial boot screen. The cd is connected to its own 40 pin ribbon and is listed as secondary master in the boot up window. The HD is on it own 40 pin ribbon as well. In the bios the Primary and Secondary master are set to auto. When in windows any cd inserted always results in cd not ready window (abort,retry, fail). I have also put in a different cd (2004 toshiba) with the same results. This MB also has usb ports (if this makes any difference?) which work quite well. I only wish usb were a boot option in the bios. Any suggestions to make this cd work...? mc Tag: xmforgert caused invalid page fault please help Tag: 878222
