Keeping Registry Clean and Protect From Spyware
by Guest voujnbwuotkd@yahoo.com- 2 replies
- 319 views
Registry spyware is basically spyware that hides itself away inside of your computer. Basically the registry is the heart of your computer. Your registry is system registry, it is heart of your computer where major components of your system reside. The registry keeps track of your all system files, drivers for your hardware, program installed and records their behavior and settings. Where as spyware refers to a broad category of malicious software that has been designed to intercept or take partial control of the operation of your computer.

Getting the dreaded "There is not enough memory to run this program" error message when I try to go to a DOS Prompt. I have a number of programs that only run in DOS.. I have MaxPhysPage=40000 and MaxFileCache=512000 All I did was move this win98se hard drive to a different computer. Previous comp had 2GB RAM. Removed the Enum key in registry before running on new computer. It started up fine and found all the new equipment okay. This comp has only 1GB of RAM and it shows that in right click on Computer icon Anyone have any suggestions? Galen

Restrict dialup number
by Guest Jerim- 3 replies
- 390 views
We are fixing to be giving some computers away to needy children and will be providing free internet. The machines run Windows 98 as they are quite old. We want a way to lock in a dialup number that they can not change. The reason for this is that we have dialup numbers for our regular customers which cost us per unique login and then we have dialup numbers for these computers for which we are charged a flat rate. If someone starts changing the numbers on these computers to the numbers we are charged unique logins for, then we will start losing a good bit of money on the deal.

Background: Promise 133 controller card, 2 WDC 80GB hard drives on removable trays. Promise bios shows identical drives. First master (alone), second master w/slave (DVD burner). Unable to access 2nd hard drive. Have tried: Simple boot floppy with ME dos on it, and same with 98SE dos on it at boot time. DriveImage 2002 with 98SE dos on it. XP w/SP2. WinME window environment. 98SE environment. Swapping drives in trays and using the unaccessible drive by itself. Swapping tray insertable locations. Jumpers adjusted accordingly.

Renaming files.
by Guest rod- 6 replies
- 520 views
Say I have 10,000 files sitting in dedicated folders that accomodate 30 files, one for each day. The curly bit, is they have brevity in their current name and are only identified by their "modified Date" for example 2104.zip will be recognised 12 times one for each year since 1996 that is 2104.zip modified say 22nd april 1998 2104.zip modified say 24th april 2001 etc. How may I rename them, so that the zip will still activate yet I can fit them in 1 file (so that 2104.zip 1998 does not get overwritten by 2104.zip 2001)

Need Advice
by Guest bobster- 24 replies
- 1.4k views
Well, it looks like I've finally reached the end-of-life with my P11, 300 MHz Win98se machine. My master hard drive went belly-up but I have managed to limp along by replacing it with my properly re- jumpered slave drive. Fortunately it was a clone of the master so it was able to boot-up okay. The dilemma: What to replace my computer it with. I have a good friend who is a well respected local Computer (since 1994) technician who strongly recommends Dell, ONLY because they are the only ones who still sell XP machines. His strong opinion is that Vista is very buggy and doesn't look like it is going to be cleaned up in the near future. Also he says the uniq…

Can anyone recommend a stand-alone virus scanner that will work with Windows 98? I need something I can use for maintenance that I can burn onto a CD-R disc - put it into the CD drive and then scan the system. FYI, Trend Micro makes a great stand-alone scanner sysclean.com, but it only works for Win2K/NT/XP. Thanks!!!

Hello again....... I wrote on Sunday with regards to being unable to get my computer started up. I can't get past the DELL LOGO screen and then it goes to a black screen with the cursor blinking on the left top. I tried the F8, the control key, F5 key............... so far, NIX! And so someone asked if I had a boot disk. YES, I do....but before I put it in and start trying........could someone tell me what the procedure is and how I should respond to hopefully get my old girl up and running. Appreciation extended to those who are in the know!!

locked out after running utility to clear disk space
by Guest Goakland- 3 replies
- 284 views
I got a message that my hard drive was full and a popup asking if I wanted to run a utility to clear space. I ran the utility and immediately couldn't get into any MS programs. If I selected a program, e.g. Word, I got a message like unable to access word.inl (not sure about extension). Also, the icons for the MS programs looked like document rather than program icons. I restarted my computer and the system now wants me to reinstall Windows98. I have no idea where the disks are, and it seems like I may have just deleted one key module. Can anyone recommend a way to see if it is still on my computer (I assume I can start up in DOS, although the Wind…

Hello. Yesterday I started up my computer quite normally. When I opened OE it froze. This happened a number of times and so I restarted in SAFE MODE. From there I did a number of things like VIRUS CHECK, SPYBOT and did a delete and clean up of files. Scan disk, defrag, etc. Later I went into normal mode and tried again.......another freeze up. Did a restart and then disabled NORTON Internet Security and ANTIVIRUS. Then OE opened fine and I was able to do a little more work online. Shut down normally. Today I pushed the start button......did NOT notice any peculiar sounds or something out of the ordinary....the screen went just past the DELL COMPUTER SCRE…

My mouse gets the jitters
by Guest Fan924- 5 replies
- 345 views
I ran for virus and adware. Nothing. Periodically, the mouse starts to jump about erratically. Like the PC is really busy even though it shouldn't be. This gets worse until it is not usable. Continues even after all applications are closed. Symptoms are gone after reboot. I never had this on my old PC running at 450MHz on win 98. I am now at 2.6GHz with win 98SE. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is this common?

Changing motherboard Win98SE
by Guest RMD- 0 replies
- 218 views
Hi All, I managed to turn up a used computer for $20 which contained a suitable 800MHz Celeron board, which I could use to replace my dud motherboard. I've never replaced a motherboard before, so just doing it was of interest to me. I wanted to boot up the original hard drive with all applications installed and get it to work with the the new motherboard. I put an old installation hard drive into the $20 computer so I could experiment - I got some good stuff off the internet of "how-to" do it. I had Acronis True Image at the ready too, with existing backups of the system. I did alright on the motherboard, graphics, in the transfer to the new motherboa…

Running program from flash drive means lock.exe doesn't work
by Guest blackhead- 5 replies
- 323 views
I have an Adata USB flashdrive running a p2p program that also stores downloaded files on it. I left it running for a few hours. When I came back, it was no longer running the program. All the data is secure so I have to run lock.exe, together with a password to access it. But when i run lock.exe from the installation disk, it says "No Flash device attached!". When i run lock.exe fro the flash device, it says "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down". So now I can't even access the program and data that was in the security area. Does anyone have an idea as to what has happened because it looks as if I'll have to reformat it, which se…
