Tricky Win98 Format 1 2
by Guest Deus0Factus0Sum@gmail.com- 26 replies
- 1.1k views
Hello everyone, It's been a very long time since I've been on Usenet, so please forgive any netiquette faux pas... I have what might be a bit of a tricky format of a Win98 machine... It's P200MMX with two HDs. The master drive is the older and slower of the two, and contains the system files; the slave is the newer and faster, and has windows installed on it. I'd like to format both drives, click the newer faster one onto 'master' and install windows (98) onto it in full (i.e. a normal install, with system files and the program on the this one drive). I'd like to switch the older and slower HD to slave and leave it as just an internal backup, as storage…

installing a video card
by Guest attilathehun1- 4 replies
- 468 views
Now I'm no noobie to PCs, but I've been having a hell of a time trying to install the drivers for this NVIDIA GeForce MX 4000 video card. Everytime I get to the point where it says you have the disk and I click the have disk it brings to a blinking A for the floppy. I then change it to E drive where I have the driver disk and it says the area has no information or the drive has no information or something to that nature. Then I click browse and put in E drive, which is the only driver disk and still no go. Now before when I did finally get it working right, I had to put the driver disc in and then the OS Windows 98 SE disc next. I can't even get to that p…

DSL support 1 2
by Guest Tiffany S.- 35 replies
- 1.2k views
I just signed up for dsl through AT&T. The rep insisted that it worked with win98se. However, when I tried to load the setup cd, the first popup acknowledged that I had win98se, but that I needed xp or vista. The label on the cd said that it was good for Windows, but it did not indicate the version. Have we finally gotten to the point that we Windows 98 holdouts are defeated? That the general phrase "works with the windows operating sysyem" no longer includes 98se?

Putting XP on my 3rd harddrive
by Guest Jeepwolf- 12 replies
- 522 views
I presently have 2 hard drives partitioned into 6 partitions. I really do not like XP, but there seems to be a few newer programs that will not run on 98 anymore. I unplugged both of my hard drives abd installed XP on another blank hard drive. In order to use it, I have to unplug my Win98 drives and plug in the XP drive. What would happen if I plugged in the 3rd drive and initially booted to DOS (which I do anyhow). Could I just swap to this 3rd drive and start XP? (I have that drive as a FAT32). I dont know how to setup a dual boot, and it looks far too complicated to setup. Besides that, I do not want XP loaded at all, 95% of the time. I know I w…

Entered data is not retained 1 2

I had a previous recent thread relating to the problem: "Save password in DUN". I have used this desktop machine for about 6 months, an AV check showed nothing. The machine has been otherwise normal. Data in files is edited, saved, retained normally. Scandisk shows a normal hard disk. I can dial up, but when I run my browser, at every one of my usual bookmarked sites, get "Server Not Found". In Control Panel/Internet Connections, Properties, the DUN icon, in domain, I had originally set it correctly, now it shows mail.copper.ne :it is supposed to be net. I reentered the correct mail.copper.net, closed that screen. Reopened the Properties screen, ag…

I recently upgraded to a 1600 x 1200 monitor and discovered that my mouse cursors were bit small. I tried the extra large cursors but they were less than ideal. Searching on the net I found some free cursors at http://qjc.cjb.net/ that were pretty good. The set included some following basic shapes of the windows set but bolder and much easier to see. They were just right for my purposes.

Completely ignorant re network setup

Have two computers (physically side by side) on cable. One new Vista which I assume is the "master" if there is such a thing. Other is running Win98se. SE has "Davidcom 9102 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter" which is connecting to the router (linksys wireless-G). It is wireless as there is another SE computer "upstairs" to be connected sometime? SE also has "Dial up adapter" that is X'ed off and "Existing Ndis2 Driver" that is "!'ed. Would like to be able to share/transfer files between the Vista and SE machines. Both computers work fine on the internet! However I have been leaving the SE machine disconnected from the router as it does not presently h…

Display loads at 640x480 res & cant change
by Guest Gary- 19 replies
- 695 views
Win 98se with SIS 530 display hardware version 163, driver dated 4-14-1999. On boot sometimes the display comes up at 640x480. Going to settings,display,settings, the resolution bar is stuck at the low resolution! Can't change it without rebooting (sometimes several times) before the resolution bare is unstuck and resolution can be reset to 1024x768 with no problem. Things are then ok for several boots! Checked SIS site and there is a new driver version 1.08 dated 2002-11-14. Using a HP vs17e flat panel display. Any chance the new driver will fix or cause more troubles?

"Port already open" problem
by Guest Donald G. Davis- 11 replies

I've installed Win98SE on an HP Pavilion A656X computer, ASUS A7V8X-LA (Kelut) motherboard. I have an external serial Diamond Supra 56e Pro modem on the onboard COM1 socket. I use it in both DOS and Windows. Here is the problem, which I've never had with my previous ISA modems: The modem works properly under raw MS-DOS or in a Windows DOS session, using the Qmodem terminal program. The modem works properly with a Windows DUN connection if it has not been used under Qmodem in a DOS session in Windows before starting DUN. But if Qmodem has been run and exited before I then attempt to connect in Windows via DUN, the DUN window pops up a…
