scanreg
by Guest bobster- 2 replies
- 285 views
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…

Trouble with new display and Device Manager 1 2 3 4
by Guest Warren- 90 replies

I had trouble getting the right drivers installed for my Viewsonic LCD. Essentially I ended up booting up the machine with no drivers and Windows installed a Default Monitor. After finally getting the correct drivers installed on my computer the correct drivers where installed but the computer still thinks there's an unknown monitor attached to the machine and keeps recreating the Default Monitor at start-up. How do I fix this false detection of an unknown monitor ?

But the CPU is not new . . .
by Guest Don Phillipson- 4 replies
- 315 views
After fitting a new power supply, this 2.8 GHz PC running Win98SE reports at every boot: "New CPU installed! Please enter Setup . . . " (Defaults are NBG since Win98 counts as a "legacy" OS so hyperthreading must be disabled.) The CPU is original (used since purchase June 2004 with ASUS P4P800S motherboard. We checked the CMOS battery (also original) when replacing the power supply and it tested OK. Why does it (seem to) fail to hold BIOS settings? (I never saw this "New CPU" message before, not even when the unit was actually new.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

A faster modem than 56K 1 2
by Guest letterman@invalid.com- 25 replies
- 1k views
In the 80's and 90's it seemed like every couple years they came out with a faster modem. I think it's nearly 10 years since they came out with the 56K. Are they ever going to make something faster? Yeah, I know most people are on DSL or some other high speed connection these days, but I live in a rural area and dialup is all I can get. It sure would be nice if they came out with a 112K modem or something like that.

Available memory after start-up
by Guest Graham C- 10 replies
- 461 views
Not really a problem, but an observation. I run TClock which apart from the date and time in the system tray has been configured to show 'available RAM' For a couple of years I've noticed big variations in the amount of free memory available immediately after boot-up. Hence I've just disabled every thing except TClock via MSCONFIG I have 448 Meg of physical RAM. If I clean boot the PC say ten times in a row, then after start-up, approximately: On about six occasions I have 304 Meg of free memory available On about three occasions I have 264 Meg of free memory On one occasion I have 230 Meg of free memory This is 'repeatable', but it seems random…

WMI 1.5?
by Guest Bill in Co.- 8 replies

Anybody installed this (Windows Management Instrumentation 1.5)? And without any problems? No problems or gotchas were mentioned on the MS download site that I could see. Anyways, I found an app that required it I don't know what the base version is on Windows98SE (assuming there is one, and that its even installed). Well, I did see a wmi.dll on this system, but the version number makes no sense (like 5.0).
