Unmountable_boot_drive
by Guest Scotty- 2 replies
- 300 views
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

problems apparently with rundll32 when loading drivers

With apologies for the repost - one positive outcome of the first one was that I discovered that what I thought was a valid cut-and-paste wasn't: for some reason the two surviving newsgroups have slightly different punctuations in their name. (Positive suggestions only, please - the details of my problem have been lost in the heat on the other thread, and please post to that one if your only contribution is to say I'm in the wrong place!)

IE6 is NOT working, why? 1 2
by Guest Robert A. Macy- 25 replies

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 …

Reinstall Win98SE Without A Floppy Drive?
by Guest DaffyD®- 14 replies
- 870 views
I've read in this newsgroup that Windows should be reinstalled about every 2 years. As I wrote in earlier posts, the floppy drive on my computer has a problem--I think it's the controller--so I can't use a boot disk. The question is, after reformatting the hard drive, can Windows be installed from the cd without installing the cd drivers from the Win98SE boot disk? -- { : [|]=( DaffyD® If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

OT - Windows 2K Defragger
by Guest letterman@invalid.com- 13 replies
- 826 views
Somewhat off topic...... Windows 3.x thru Windows 98SE had the slowest defragger. I finally learned that I could install the DEFRAG.EXE from Windows ME. Finally there was one that worked fast. I just installed Windows 2000 on another computer. I see once again MS went back to the slow defragger. Not only that, but the older versions (Windows 3.x thru Win98se) showed the process in a graphic and showed the percentage completed. The one in 2K dont show anything except some colored bars, and I have no idea what percentage is completed. What a useless POS. Can I install the defragger from WinME in Win2K? (Note: I will not likely continue using Windo…

Which flash player for Firefox 2?
by Guest lb- 20 replies
- 1.3k views
I have been experimenting with Firefox 2 and downloaded the latest flash player which was 9.0.124 or something like that. No complaints from the installer, but the outcome was pretty ugly. Corrupted video and bringing the browser to a crawl, I barely got it closed before it locked up my system. Going to the system requirements page, firefox 2 was not listed for windows 98 for this version of flash player. Anyone know which player will work with 98 and FF 2? Thanks
