Changing default email program
by Guest letterman@invalid.com- 15 replies

I have been using Eudora for email for a long time. I intend to keep using it. I just installed Thunderbird to see what it does. During installation it asked me if I wanted to set Thunderbird as the default email program, but I did not understand what it was asking until too late. Now Thunderbird is the default. I DO NOT want TB to be the default, I still want Eudora to be the default. The older version of Eudora I use does not have this setting, so I am not sure how to get back Eudora as the default email software. Where is this setting located? If it's in the registry, I can change it with regedit, but I just dont know where this setting is locate…

Antivirus / Firewall / Backup software recommendations for 98se
by Guest Zilbandy- 9 replies
- 778 views
I just drug out the old P3 800mhz Dell from the closet, hooked it up and it booted right up. :) Now, all I need to do is get everything cleaned up so my son can use it for some older DOS games and minimal Internet browsing. Does anyone have any thoughts on software... cheap or, better yet, freeware versions of Anti Virus, firewall and backup software? My initial thoughts are AVG free, but I hear that 7.5 is the last version to support 98, and it's not being supported with new updates. I'll probably use and older version of Zone Alarm since that's what it currently has, and it still appears to work. I also am considering Acronis True Image. I have both version 7 a…

hope Adobe personell read this;;;;;;;;; how Weak of you to deny certain computer users of the necessary, Adobe product........ even though it is free, you deny win98 users knowing full well they will have to 'update' to 'something', in order to utilise a .pdf. (ps,,,, i Hate pdf's) (ie,, forcing them to 'update' to xp or 2000 or nt or vista,,, and no, i dont give a damn that i typed them out of order... ) today, a friend, non-computer user, brought to me a second-hand 'set top box' so he could tune into the newer high definition channels on the telly,, but he doesnt have a manual on how to plug what into what. i said i would download a manu…

How do I upgrade?
by Guest Dan- 7 replies
- 713 views
First of all, Norma, do all of us and yourself a favor by answering some questions: 1. Do I want or need to upgrade and why? 2. Do I really need an upgrade or do I want a new machine with new hardware so I can run cool new games, run Itunes and other stuff? Suggestions:Why not just keep your old Windows 98 machine and if you don't want it then donate it and or recycle it because I think Norma you are the user who wants to run the latest stuff. 3. Do you want someone like Falcon Northwest, Dell, Toshiba, etc. to build your machine, or do you want to build it or a friend ie. system engineer to help you build it, etc. Please correct me …

Need software to setup home network
by Guest letterman@invalid.com- 4 replies
- 500 views
I have a desktop computer with Win98 and a laptop with Win2000. I want to network them to share files. I dont need firewalls or anything fancy. Just want to share files over a wired connection to a Linksys switch. The switch recognises the computers, but I can not get either computer to access the files on the other. I have spend several days trying to do this manually and finally gave up. I have a fair knowledge of computers but I am not a computer geek nor do I want to be. There must be some software that will automate this whole process. Please provide a link to any software I can download. Preferable freeware. Thanks LM

Networking trouble with wireless adapter

Hi, I'm trying to integrate a Windows 98SE unit into my network, using a Belkin USB Wireless G Network Adapter model # F5D7050. (looks like a thumb drive) I'm using a Netgear WGT624 V3 router (uses both B and G). I also have hooked into the router a desktop PC using Ethernet cable which I consider my "main" PC, and a laptop using wireless. Both run XP MCE 2005. The computer in question is a PC someone gave me, "home built", and has a 533 MHz Celeron processor. However, I also tried 2 other 98 SE machines also that I have lying around, but the current 533 Mhz one is the fastest and best tech advanced of the three, so I'll try to keep that one on my network. …

If you have not checked out the 98 support center for a while then it may be time to stop by and visit. It is looking really good at least to me. Just an FYI for anyone who might be interested in refreshing their memory on 98 support issues. http://support.microsoft.com/ph/1139 Disclaimer: Please use safe web practices before clicking any link within a newsgroup and/or email. It is suggested that you always first block all external code and read in plain text and then if you do need the remote code allow the images if safe, secure and necessary.

I am using an OEM version of Windows XP on a Dell PC which is about 4 years old. I recently rebooted and I now am receiving a blue screen with the message Unmountable_Boot_Drive. I no longer have the original OEM disks of Windows XP, however, I have Windows XP disks from another computer. I have tried booting from the setup disks and when I get the setup screen I have the choices of hitting the R key for repair or the enter key to resetup XP, however, nothing happens when I hit either the R key or the enter Key. Any suggestions how I can work around this. I have searched through Google and there are several posts about this problem, however, they…

Windows Update for 98 really all gone? 1 2
by Guest Harvey- 39 replies

Running Win98 (NOT SE). While reinstalling the Dial Up Networking and Server, I accidentally overwrote a newer file with an older one. (I said No instead of Yes.) Didn't catch the filename so it's gone. How can I find out and update that file? I tried "Windows Update" which worked last time I tried, even long after MS stopped supporting or updating Win98. Is there now no way to bring Win98 up to date (as of 2006 or whenever they stopped)? Harvey

Apologies ahead of time, but I need help on what should be a simple problem. I have four machines: 2 Win98 and 2 WinXP. All works to connect to my ISP, but the IE6 on one of the WinXP's, but then suddenly worked for one session, then quit again. It dials, makes connection, confirms me to my ISP, announces that the connection is made with a little balloon, but then stops and will not download the welcome page? The IE6 promptly sequences through everything until it's time to get the page, then...nothing, no data transfer, just an hour glass. I can't even activate the View Source. Have to stop IE, but then the 'can't show this page' screen is the same as …
