Fresh install rebooting issue
by Guest edstim- 3 replies

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…

How to choose a motherboard?
by Guest Don Phillipson- 4 replies
- 355 views
Win98SE meets very nearly all current needs (inc. EMACS for DOS and its DOS printer) and some of my apps are not fully compatible with XP (e.g. Quattro v.8 and Paradox v.7) and I have had 3 hardware breakdowns (dead sound-on- board circuit and two power supplies) -- so I must plan to replace with something equally functional the ASUS P4P800S motherboard, running Win98SE on a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz and 512 Mb RAM. 1. How do I evaluate motherboards for functionality and durability? 2. Drives: most MBs now seem to offer only two or three card slots. My (year 2004) ASUS has six populated by video card, modem, TV receiver, audio card, etc. and I should like t…

Hi, After using Lexar's "FireFly" (1GB) on my Windows 98se computers by downloading the driver from the link below, I took a chance on a Lexar "Secure II Plus" (2GB) that was on sale ($14.95) http://www.lexar.com/drivers/files/jdusb2.zip Well, I was unable to install a driver for "Secure II Plus" JumpDrive in my Windows 98se. On my wife's WinXP computer, no problem of course. I assume that if I knew the VID & PID numbers, I could add that to the .INF file (from jdusb2.zip) and perhaps, that would work? On my wife's WinXP computer, I looked at properties via Device Manager for "Secure II Plus", (which was plugged in), b…

help = can't edit hosts file because it won't let me pick a program.
by Guest SlickRCBD- 16 replies
- 554 views
I've just had something weird pop up. I tried to edit my hosts file, but instead of being asked what program I want to use to open it with, I got a dialog box telling me "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in My Computer by clicking View and then clicking Folder Options". Something in the registry is probably messed up, how do I fix it so that it goes back to giving me a list of programs so I can click on notepad?

Lexar "FireFly" USB Flash Drive for Windows 98se
by Guest Brad- 3 replies

Hi, I have been using a 1GB Lexar "Jump Drive" USB flash drive ("thumb drive") for a couple years on my Windows 98se computer without any problems. Recently, I decided to buy another Lexar !GB, but nobody sells a Windows 98 version anymore. I don't want a used one so I took a chance on a Lexar "FireFly" 1GB (WinXP/Vista/Mac) and I hope that somehow, I can get it to "work" on my Win98 computer. There are no drivers for "FireFly" at Lexar's web site. I searched the web for about 1/2 hr, and I didn't find a source. Do you know a technique, or a source where I can download the driver, even if it's a Windows XP driver? Thanks …

Quirks in Scandisk, Chkdsk, Fixmbr, Fixboot 1 2

I recently had to repair file system corruption for two XP users, one with a FAT32 partition, the other with NTFS. Unfortunately I have little experience with XP so I struggled quite a bit. Anyway I discovered that Microsoft's disc repair tools were flawed in several ways. Case #1 ------- The PC with the NTFS partition had an inaccessible registry file, c:\windows\system32\config\system. It couldn't be deleted, copied, or renamed, so the procedure in this MSKB article could not be applied: How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 I attempted to run CHKDSK from the repair c…
