Uninstalling AVG Anti-Virus
by Guest Colin Williams- 5 replies
- 430 views
I have been a long term user of AVG Anti-Virus. However, with version 7.5 about to expire and 8.0 not available to W98, I decided to uninstall it and replace it with Avast. However, having run the uninstall, I was left with various folders (Program Files\Grisoft and Windows\All Users\Application Data\ Grisoft & AVG) which I have since moved off the machine. Now, during the boot up process, I get the message that the registry or System.ini file refers to device files which no longer exist. These are:- C:\PROGRA'1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE'1\AVG7CORE.VXD C:\PROGRA'1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE'1\AVG7RS.VXD C:\PROGRA'1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE'1\AVG7DI.VXD I cannot see any r…

Just received notice that there is a new client needed soon to access Hotmail and Live accounts, which apparently only supports XP and Vista. The reason: Microsoft has created another proprietary protocol DeltaSynch to replace its previous proprietary protocol DAV.

How do you update Windows 98?
by Guest rpgs rock dvds- 2 replies
- 367 views
On this Microsoft webpage - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239937/kb/239937 It tells me about the availability of "Microsoft Windows 98 Customer Service Pack". I am assuming that this is a big all-in-one update to Windows 98, which is what I am after. In the above-mentioned article, it says - Windows 98 Customer Service Pack is available for download from the Windows Update Web site: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ The problem I am having at the moment is that if I go to the above webpage (using my XP-based PC), I get automatically redirected to - http://tinyurl.com/33fhgk This appears to be the new Microsoft update service.

Reformatting Hard Drive Win98SE
by Guest PaulAndPaulaH- 7 replies
- 465 views
I recently acquired a Compaq presario 1255 laptop that is nine years old with Windows 98SE OS. I was told that the hard drive was cleaned. However, I find leftovers of old un-installed programs such as McAfee from 2003. The problem is that about every third boot up, I get an error message that a McAffee file no longer exists. I found a file labeled exactly as the error message in configsys/startup. I obviously unchecked it in confifsys/startup, but still get the same error message on startup. I have all the original RESTORE disks that accompanied the purchase of the laptop. Would I be better to reformat the hard drive with the FULL FACTORY RESTORE F…

Gateway PC fires up and then doesn't fire up

- 337 views
I got this PC to finally get going when I plugged everything back in. I didn't even use the power button, I just plugged the power cord back into the back panel and whammo! It started, but nothing came up on the monitor screen and the power supply fan didn't turn, and yes I did plug the little 3 pin connector back up to the mobo. I bet if I change the tower case everything will be ok. Ok, yes it is me. And if you don't want to answer anymore questions, then let it be. There are enough professional people here that can answer questions and not make a big deal about it. Another thing is I tried to post another thread and I don't see it. I just bought …

PC not firing up
by Guest attilathehun1- 6 replies
- 463 views
I'm thinking now, to buy a new mobo/CPU combo from newegg.com. I think I can get one for under 60 bucks. It looks like I might have messed up this old mobo with ESD. I do have the wrist strap to prevent ESD, but usually I just touch the power supply every so often when I'm working on a PC. This time I didn't though. Why not get a new mobo/CPU combo. The old mobo and CPU are a Pentium III and mobo is -- an Intel, because I can see Intel written all over the little RAM sticks on the board. There is one RAM patch that says SMSC American Megatrends. Like I said all the other RAM patches say Intel. Under the SMSC are numbers and letters. In this order: 1st S…
