Avast and AVG for Windows
by Guest Dan- 2 replies

I removed AVG and went with Avast antivirus and it is working well. The last I heard that AVG 7.5 will be ending in a few days and version 8 is not compatible with Windows 98 Second Edition. I tried version 8 on my computer on the Windows XP Pro. side of my multi-boot computer and it was terrible because it flagged things that were not a problem and just related to SpywareBlaster which had protected against the baddies and AVG 8 removed the protection for 197 items. My dad tried it on his computer and it flagged a legitimate file as a trojan. He is also now using Avast. I am also giving Ubantu Linux a try on my computer a try within the XP Pro. side…

scanreg
by Guest bobster- 2 replies

I recently discovered that my daily scanreg was not occurring. When I opened in MSDOS mode and did a scanreg /restore I found that the five backups were several weeks old. I made a registry change by adding /autorun after scanreg.exe and moving the scanreg.exe file to C:\Windows and got it to work again but now I have two new problems: (1) Every time I re-boot, scanreg runs so that if I re-boot 5 or more times in one 24 hour period, I have 5 identical files. Previously scanreg only ran the first boot of each day. The also are all identified as not having been started where as in the past, the older ones were sometimes labeled as having "started". (2) Ev…

Thunderbird Email Signatures

- 382 views
Seems to me in the past I knew how to add a signature to an outgoing Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 email. Guess I forgot how. Could someone please help me with this. How does one compose signatures and include them in the TB folder? How does one select a signature for inclusion in a message being composed? Does this feature require a TB add on? If so, what is the name/version number and D/L location? Thank you very much, Casey

I saved an important document created in Word Pad to a floppy disk and sure enough the hard drive that I had it stored on crashed. When I try to open the file on the floppy disk on another computer I get the word pad screen and then a pop up error message with the yield sign exclamation point: "An unexpected error occured while opening c:filename.doc" or txt or whatever the extension for word pad is. I looked in the local help section of Windows 98 for what to do and it was no help. I tried opening it on a Windows XP computer and I get the same problem. Is there any way to get a more detailed explanation on what the problem is or any way to resurrect …

How to unlock a flash card?
by Guest ms- 2 replies
- 266 views
At the moment, in W2K, want to transfer files to a W98 computer. Tere has been several threads here on flash cards. Up to now, had no trouble (W2K) loading a flash card, unlocking it, transferring to a W98 machine, loading and then unlocking there. In W98SE, I used the universal W98 driver from a post by glee, it works fine. Today, loaded 1.9GB on a Sony 2 GB flash card, got the message "disk full", I said Cancel and checked contents, looks like everything is there. Next I went into the Unlock sequence, usually it is maybe a 1 minute max delay, but this time it still does not unlock in 30 minutes. Tried rebooting, no luck. I suppose this is relat…

Re: network When posting the same question to more than one group, please use proper cross-posting techniques. http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=cross-posting I have properly cross-posted this to the Win98.Gen_Discussion group. hat are your real-world needs? Because in order to view and access shares on the Win98 machine from the Vista machine, nothing much in particular should need to be done. Just your "basic" network setup should take care of everything. But if you want to access shares on the Vista machine from the 98 machine, it's a royal mess with several likely issues to deal with, the first…

I have had several computers over the years and none of them would ever accept a CD Drive. I've probably owned 10 or more drives. My latest computer is a 1gh P3. It came with XP which was slow and I dont like XP anyhow. I installed Win98 instead. Once again no cd. The cd worked in xp, but not in 98. Normally I dont care. I never use them. I dont buy software I just download it and pay online unless its free. I have Win98 installation on a spare harddrive to install Windows. Recently I got a digital camera and a pocket calendar. Both send CDs. I cant get the drivers off the Cds so I cant use the camera,,,,, Myt email is limited in space. Is there…

Internet connection wizard - Error Message Annoyance

I wanted to setup another connection using Internet connection wizard, and see if that would improve my modem speed. When I run ICW I get the following error message. "Internet connection wizard is unable to continue because password caching has been disabled. Contact your system administrator to have this setting enabled, then restart Internet connection wizard." How the heck do I enable this password caching? I don t recall ever disabling it in the first place, but I suppose this is something my ISP had me do, one of the last times they screwed up my settings. Please advise me how to change this setting. This is a home computer, there is no "system…
