questions about a Flash drive and windows 98SE
by Guest DJW- 2 replies
- 294 views
I have some questions about my Verbatim 1 GB Jump/Flash drive I am running windows 98SE When I fill the flash drive up and then trash stuff does it open up space on the drive? Are these type devices more picky about non contiguous space. And if so can I use the Windows 98 Disk Defragmenter to open up contiguous space? Can Scan Disk also be used to right problems? Lastly how do I format it. Do I just right click on it's drive letter in the My Computer Folder and choose format? I am asking all the above because I have been using my jump for a few months now and have deleted some stuff and now when I try to write a large amount of data to it I get a blue screen te…

My Documents location
by Guest WebAsh- 2 replies
- 400 views
I'm currently using an old windows 98 computer. And on it the My Documents folder has been mapped to a UNC address that is no longer valid/active as the server that it addresses has been since 'decomissioned'. However, I can't change the location of where the My Documents points to because it seems that because the current location it is set to is not valid it won't let me change it. It doesn't error or anything like that, it just looks like it saves the new location upon hitting OK, but trying to access my documents or opening the properties up again, confirms that it has indeed not changed it... and left it as what it was, the unavailable network address. …

We can't help if you don't tell us what is wrong?
by Guest Dan- 16 replies

Are you spamming the newsgroup on purpose or is there another motive. Asking more than once does not usually help your case and like I said in the subject --- tell us your problem with the Ati Radeon 9800 Pro. and we will see if we can help you. It would be great to have a name too instead of unknown especially since all of us unknowns are eventually discovered anyway when we use the Internet.

Error Msg: "Cannot add the Staff View musical symbol font."
by Guest Steve Lohmeyer- 8 replies

I used to run Cakewalk 3.0 music sequencing software on my old 446 machine running Windows 95. I now have it installed on my Celeron PC running on Windows XP. It works just fine there too. In betweeen, I installed it on a Pentium II (or was it III?) machine running Windows 98. It worked fine there too. Here's the problem: I recently tried to install Cakewalk on my OFFICE computer, which still runs on Windows 98. It installed all right. But when I launched the program I got this error msg: "Cannot add the Staff View musical symbol font." I'm not sure what that error means, but I can sure see the results. On the screen, in all the places wh…

Cloning Win98FE prior to SE upgrade 1 2 3 4
by Guest Teflon- 76 replies
- 2.7k views
While I would like the USB and other upgraded support options of SE, I have been putting off upgrading to SE on an older laptop, because, 1.) the FE config is running great & 2.) if anything goes wrong with the upgrade, I don't look forward to reinstalling FE with all the fixes. I don't have an external HDD or a CD burner on the system, so I came up with this plan to clone the C: drive: Remove the HDD from the laptop and install it in a USB external enclosure. Connect the enclosure to my XP system. Run Ghost to clone the C: drive to an external HDD attached to the XP system. Reinstall HDD in laptop. Clean install of SE. I would appreciate kn…

Exploding window.
by Guest Rod- 12 replies

When I open http://www.iprimus.com.au/PrimusWeb and navigate down the page on the LHS to....... "Questions..chat with us live on line" A little window opens, with boxes which I attempt to begin to fill in. Suddenly, the window explodes to a size that prevents me navigating the window. eg: prevents me hitting the "talk" button. Any ideas why? Thanks.

Looking for PCMCIA Wireless G that works with Win 98 (Not Win 98 SE)
by Guest RiptideHD- 1 reply
- 283 views
Hello all, I'm glad I found a group focusing on win 98! I have an old laptop that still runs great, but it has win 98 and no ethernet connection. I would rather buy a wireless card than a hard wire card for the PCMCIA slot, but can't seem to find one that says it will work with win 98. They all say Win 98SE, or they don't say what OS is compatible at all... Can someone give me a good lead on which card will work with my PC? Thanks! RHD

BIOS problem
by Guest McDermotts- 2 replies
- 311 views
I also posted this to MS News server, hope it's ok to cross post. I have an old AOpen AX6BC motherboard. Per AOpens advise, I tried to install BIOS update so the system would recognize the larger drive I added to the system. During the update process, something went wrong and a message flashed that said "UNKNOWN FLASH TYPE". Since then, the system will not even boot and no monitor. If I turn it on with the floppy containing the BIOS file in the drive it tries to read for a while and then stops. Same thing if I power on with a startup floppy in drive a. Also, if I power with either one of these disks, if I hit any key on keyboard it tries to read from a dri…

Clean install of 98SE after XP Pro. installed
by Guest Dan- 24 replies

Okay, I have decided to do a clean install of 98SE. I have XP Professional installed on the D: drive and 98SE is on the C: drive. I have seen the following web page on the Internet but I don't want to risk messing up the XP Pro. install in any way if possible. http://www.petri.co.il/install_windows_98_after_windows_xp.htm Windows 98SE is on the c:\ hard drive but it really is now FUBAR. The software drivers do not even fully load anymore in the device manager even after removing them. Then by using the install hardware driver you can get some of them back but not all of them. I guess I have the option of doing an over install of 98SE but I would p…

different search
by Guest ANTHONY DIODATI- 7 replies

Hi all, When I use the search feature in IE 6, I am most of the time re directed to some other search page, and it is not the page I opened from my search. The correct page will be there for a second or 2, but then I am re directed to a different search. It is not the same one all the time, but different ones. I did run hi jack this, spy bot search and destroy, but still the same , I also did delete cookies, through IE and also manually, still no luck. Any other good program I can run. Thanks, Tony
