network card install and vip.386
by Guest Davej- 4 replies
- 440 views
Tried to install a network card with no success. Seems similar to the following (see link below) but I don't understand how to see the "illegal operation" messages that are mentioned. All I know is that the installation chokes right after the vip.386 popup is clicked on and then after the reboot the device manager says the network card has been disabled because it caused a problem at startup. Network card hardware is known good. I don't know if the vip.386 file is relevant to this problem or not. Any ideas? Thanks. http://help.lockergnome.com/windows2/Installing-Ethenet-card-fails-causing-VXD-tbl-loss-connectiv-ftopict482802.html

How to read harddrive that was once too big for mobo? I have a hard drive that was too big for the mobo that I first used it on. I think it is 800 Meg (but I'll check again if it matters) and when I bought it, I think Western Digital had a remapping program that allowed the drive to pretent to the mobo that its geometry was different from reality. I tried connecting it as a slave, setting the jumpers correctly, and iirc, it wasn't recognized at all. I bought an enclosure and hooked it up to the USB port, and although the computer seees the enclosure and installs or loads the HDUSB stuff, the drive never shows up on any drive list. Conecting it as a mast…

I am trying to update my AdAware 1.06r1 definitions on my Win98SE computer ( using Avast, Sygate Personal Firewall) but for some reason, for the first time, when I click on "Connect", I get a message that no updates are available, this after 19 days without an update. My last successful update was on Dec. 27/07. Is there some problem I am unaware of. How can I fix this? I am a non-techie so please make your reply easy to follow. Thanks.

Folder Options!!!

Hello, is there anybody out there!!! win98se OS I have a dilemma. I was setting up separate Profiles for the different Users in Passwords on this machine along with ICS in a study of NAT capabilities of a SS4100 modem. *_ I noticed that some of the Desktop folders for another user that were not the correct folder type as oem boot like on My Desktop, in particular the systems folders. So I went into Folder Options and clicked reset all folders...*_ This "little" move erased all the very important program files that were in a folder(s) or shortcut folder(s) that I had on My Desktop and all the other desktops. This is a disaster. Luckily, I can find some of th…

I'm running Win98se. I have both the latest ver of Firefox and IE6. If I go to this particular website: http://www.thunderguys.be I constantly get error messages when I click on the individual pictures. I'm referring to this: First you get the intro. (which can be skipped). Then it brings up a list (on the right), where there is Zorro the Zebra, Liberty Horses, Bikes and Horses, etc. Click on one of them, at the bottom is a sliding bar where individual pictures can be selected. Everytime I click on one of them, I get an error message which tells me that the script is running real slow and if I leave it run, my computer may stop responding. If I select YES …

RE: SPYWARE (FREE DOWNLOAD) Margie, On 13 Feb 08, I downloaded SpyBot 1.5.1.12 with latest detection update 2/13/2008 to my Windows 98 SE and it seems to work fine. The day before I had downloaded update 2/06/2008, ran it and removed a lot of "stuff" I didn't want. This seems to be their web site: http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html . My son put SpyBot on my computer a few years ago and I just 'update' it without plugging in their web site to get the updates; however, I just went to their web site to get the info for you. Here is the web site of a columnist (Betty Champagne) who offers free advice and refers us to many 'free" programs http://www.bitsnpc…

Playing FLV videos on a TV from a DVD
by Guest jerry404@notvalid.com- 1 reply
- 238 views
I have a large collection of Youtube (and other) .FLV videos that I have saved. Is there any way to burn them to a DVD so I can play them on a TV using a tv type DVD player? I have a feeling they need to be converted to another format. I have no experience with burning DVD's other than just copying stuff from my harddrive as a backup. I've never made or even copied a DVD for TV use. Assuming I need to convert it, what software? Thanks
