Remove Real Player 4
by Guest CdLSRN- 11 replies
- 825 views
In an effort to make more disc space on this computer, I removed Real Player. I also seem to have Real Player 4 installed. I tried to remove it and at 33% I got the message Could not delete file C:\windows\SYSTEM\decdnet.dll. So I searched for it in Explorer and deleted it manually. I then got an immediate similar error about another file. I was in a clean boot. It said these files were being used by another open program. I had no open programs except explorer and add/remove. How can I remove Real Player 4. My machine is a Dell XPS T450, desktop. Total size 12.7 GB - 3.7GB free space. The program I am trying to run makes CD labels. It is an old program and I did…

Hi, Friends, I need your guys' help urgently. I am still using Window 98 for my Pen III desktop. Yesterday I misktakenly deleted the system files ( I am not good at computer). These deleted files are in the recycle bin because I did not empty the recycle bin. When I restarted the computer, the only information in the screen is :"invalid system disk. Please replace the system disk, then press any key to start...". Can not get into safe mode. Does not response to any keys or F1-F12, or alt+ctrl+del". I do have a Recovery CD when I bought the computer almost 9 years ago. The options are: Diskette backup, user backup, user restore and factory restore. …

Receiving spam related to websites I just visited. Is theresomething in this PC, or what happened?

Receiving spam related to websites I just visited. Is theresomething in this PC, or what happened? Running IE6 on this Win98. I keep my cookies to 12 related only to websites I'm registered with. I keep 'temporary' stripped and empty every session. Yet, I just visited Microsoft website for IE problems and now am receiving a flurry of 'official looking' notices from MS that say click here to upgrade your Internet Explorer. Obviously these were spam and the purpose was to inject malware into my system, because they came from RIPE network. They violated MS copyright, so I forwarded to abuse at RIPE and at MS. Maybe a spambot crawled through the Usenet cha…

Bit Defender ate something??
by Guest Teflon- 12 replies
- 799 views
98SE on an older Thinkpad. Thought it was acting sluggish, ran the CA AV plus Spybot S&D, but nothing, so I decided to run Bit Defender's online scan. Somewhere during the scan, a message flashed on the screen, just got a glimpse of it, said it had found and eliminated a problem, did not get the name of what it had found or eliminated. Did not get any report or find any log of the scan's results. It was my error for not checking to see what the scan would do when it found something. Should have changed it to stop and ask questions, versus the default fix on the fly. Launched an app that has been running for years and got a message that the Unicows wra…

how do I get a CD out of this drive?
by Guest Robert A. Macy- 22 replies
- 1.5k views
apologies ahead of time, but this group has ALWAYS helped, so I'm back. I just spent two fruitless hours searching the net for info on this and zip! Here is the problem: I've got a CD Drive, Creative 24Xmx Model CR-585- B that has a CD in it that I cannot extricate. Yes, I tried the drive in a known good system....with power applied and bus attached. Either the drive is dead, or the eject switch is dead, but either way I've got a CD in there I can't get at. I removed four screws on the bottom and removed the metal plate. Then, removed two screws holding in the PC. But only one end lifted up and I'm reluctant to start forcing things when there's a 'p…

I did it I did it - USB on 98 - YAY! 1 2
by Guest Peter in New Zealand- 41 replies

Hi everyone. After so many of you helped me so much recently while I was trying to get USB operating reliably on 98 I just have to tell you this. Several days ago I posted that I was giving up and putting W2K on the laptop, which works fine, but is quite sluggish. Well, I just can't seem to leave it alone. I went back to some of your helpful posts in that old thread and used one of the suggested links to download NUSB.EXE again. I set up to dual boot and installed 98SE again on the spare partition. The USB driver installed and runs just fine. No idea what the heck was wrong last time. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that your offered help has born fr…

Windows 98 Will Not Start Up 1 2
by Guest brbrown- 39 replies
- 2.2k views
For no obvious reason, my Windows 98 computer wil not start up.. It freezes on the first black screen with white writing stating that the "Dos key is installed" and "Mode select code page function is completed". The only way I can get rid of this is to press the restart button after which I can choose to start in Safe Mode. I have then tried to disable all applications one at a time to find the problem to no avail. Any one any ideas please.

Frequent System crashes, SLOW - iCCP:CRC error ?
by Guest John D- 11 replies
- 858 views
My wife has an old Dell Intel x86 system, Windows 98, 2nd edition version 4.10.2222A, 128MB RAM. Admittedly this is an almost extinct dinosaur, but it does what my wife needs to do. She's a prolific writer, but very, very few pieces longer than 5 pages in Word (articles). And she does lots of email with Outlook Express. Her applications just don't apply much pressure on the system. Over the past month she's had frequent "crashes" - I haven't observed a lot of them but I think it isn't the blue screen of death - I think the application crashes. It can be Word, Outlook Express. It sometimes takes "5 minutes" (perhaps a slight exageration) for a Word docum…

I am referring to PCR and the "So-Called" XP radiation and how the effects of Vista radiation appear to be even stronger in making people mean to each other. Here is a recent example: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.general&tid=ca9f815c-3652-4563-a0e4-4c4f5a4467ea&cat=&lang=&cr=&sloc=en-us&p=1 There are a lot of posts here that were deleted so the effects of Vista radiation are clear. Do you agree, PCR? <Smile>

I am almost out of space on hard drive, and tried move file from hard disk to removable drive(USB Flash drive 4GB). The small size files has been moved normally. When I moved 465MB size file, it taken almost 15 min. But when tried to move 2.46GB file, got "Error copying files" - "Cannnot create or replace Filename: The parameter is incorect". Where is problem? P.s. when move big Gigabytes files from C:\ drive to removable drive, will this cause heavy disk C: fragmentation? How namy time may take to move 2.46GB file?
