Black screen (no logo) before desktop shows
by Guest dk_- 9 replies
- 387 views
How can I display the Windows 98 logo (with the changing color bar at the bottom) before the desktop loads, instead of just see a black screen for 1 minute? When the machine starts, the Windows logo displays, then the screen goes black for about one minute, then the desktop loads. The machine is running fine. msdos.sys does have the line "Logo=1" I tried just putting 'logo.sys' in the C: directory. No joy. Thanks. -Dennis -- Dennis Kessler http://www.denniskessler.com/acupuncture

I am still trying to find the cause of the following problem ... > Booting into Safe Mode really magnifies the shower of bad pixels problem. > Doesn't this eliminate the ATI AGP video card as the cause of the problem?

Large Word files and 98SE
by Guest Graham C- 14 replies
- 546 views
Word and Win98SE problems I am currently working with a number of large .DOC files, typically 400 pages, lots of photos and diagrams etc. They are between 5 and 60 Meg in size (I know I'm a glutton for punishment, but I didn't create these files) There are two interesting problems: 1) One 50 Meg file always opens in around 10 secs when it is double clicked. Another file of a similar size takes around three minutes to open. In each case the PC was clean booted from cold. 2) I can copy small files from drive to drive with no problem. With an 8 Meg DOC file it takes a little longer - typically 20 seconds. But with a DOC file greater than about 10 Meg: …

destorying the hard drive 1 2 3 4
by Guest Jim Madsen- 91 replies
- 2.8k views
My daughter has an old Gateway computer running Windows 98. She says no one wants it because it is slow and obsolete and she wants to turn it into the local recycling place. She is worried about (personal) data on the hard drive. I wonder if reformatting the HD will destroy all the data? My old W95 computer, I took the HD out and smashed it with a sledge hammer, but she doesn't want to do that. She took it to a computer store, and they offered to "hose" the HD and dispose of the computer for $50.00. Any suggestions? Jim

BIG Problem
by Guest שמואל- 12 replies
- 461 views
I installed the Unofficial Windows 98 patches. Now the computer does not go into Windows, not normal nor Safe Mode. I get a fatal exception error at 0187 (or (0167):BFF9E0BF. I can also sometimes see an error in VXD VWIN32(05). Can someone help me get the computer to work again? I couldn't reinstall Windows 98 from a CD either. Setup thinks (wrongly) that disk commpression is used. Thank you.

BIOS upgrades - reflashing the BIOS
by Guest Bill in Co.- 21 replies
- 787 views
Just spent an "interesting" (to put it mildly!) weekend on this project to enable a microprocessor upgrade. I wouldn't recommend it for the faint-hearted, suffice it to say, or you might end up with a paperweight. :-) You know, it wouldn't be quite so bad, except that in some cases, there is no reverse path available (i..e, it's a one way trip) - which seems unforgiveable, on their part! My question is: why do these BIOS manufacturers sometimes make it so damn difficult to upgrade/downgrade or go back to a previous version (especially when going from one manufacturer to one its subsidiaries, or vice versa (like Dell and Intel)? And not only that, but …

Disk Recovery (RE: Computer Failure ) 1 2
by Guest BAP- 37 replies
- 1.2k views
The start of this new Post regarding the ‘Computer Failure’ Post was suggested by “MEB”, and rightly so, as the that earlier Post was creating some confusion. As was discussed in the ‘Computer Failure’ Post, the Microtime Computer, that I have been using for several years, has failed and I find it rather difficult to get it operational, again. There is a Primary Master and a Secondary Master HD’s installed in it. There are folders in both that have Data that I would like to recover. A more recent Computer, a Sony VAIO, that I am currently using, appears to have all that I would need to connect those HD’s and recover the desired Data and back up the…

WANTED: MicroMind Slipknot (OLD) Download
by Guest robertmosley@invalid.com- 1 reply
- 195 views
Does anyone remember MicroMind Slipknot? It was the first public web browser for Dos, Win3.x. Unix, and OS2. and came out in 1994. Their archive website still exists here: http://www.micromind.com/slipknot.htm Unfortunately they dont offer the download anymore and in 1997 they abandoned the software. I was one of the first people in my area to go on the www when it was developed. Slipknot was far from Netscape which replaced it, but Slipknot had the unique ability to be run from multiple platforms. I could have sworn I had the install file on a floppy but if I do, I cant find it. I want to try to run it again, and see how it runs on Win98se. I googl…

I have an 80GB HDD on which I treid to install Win98. I copied the files to the HDD and ran the setup from that directory. After all of the files loaded, the PC rebooted and said it was running windows for the first time. It then rebooted in the middle of the splash screen. Since then it will not get past the splash screen without rebooting. Any ideas on why this would be happening on a clean install?

98SE Runs in MSDOS Compatibility Mode
by Guest Bob L.- 8 replies

I have just upgraded my system with a new motherboard (Biostar NF4 Ultra A9A) that has an NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Chipset. Does anyone know how to get the 98SE operating system up and running with this motherboard or maybe a work around? I am able to boot the system but the Desktop looks like a Safe Mode display and the Hard Drive or CD drive is not listed in Device Manager only a Floppy Drive. I can access the FAT partition with no problem as it is listed in My Computer as C drive. The system runs in MSDOS Compatibility Mode. I tried to do a registry repair deleting the NOIDE value but there isn’t one listed. What could be causing the problem? Can anyone hel…

Re: Lexar's "Secure II Plus" 2GB JumpDrive on Windows 98se computer Hi Franc, Thank you for your suggestions. I found "USBVIEW.EXE" on my Windows98SE CD and put it in my wife's WinXP computer. With "Secure II Plus" plugged in, I launched USBVIEW and I was able to see the VID (OX05DC) and PID (OXA702). I added that information to "JDUSBMS.INF" file, but it was unable to install a driver on my Windows 98se computer when I plugged in "Secure II Plus". I will seek Maximus Decim's NUSB and see if I have better luck with that. Brad On Sat, 22 Mar 2008 08:53:26 +1100, in microsoft.public.win98.gen_discuss…
