Dual Boot woes
by Guest Mike- 1 reply
- 319 views
Hi folks- I've got a problem. I had Win98 and Win2k together on seperate partitions on the same drive and both were working. Boot manager was working, etc. I can't remember the chain of events, but I ended up running fdisk /mbr and lost Win2k. Win98 booted only after that. Then, I reinstalled Win2k. But, I never got back Win98 in the boot menu. I'e tried adding Win98 to the boot.ini and get the error about ntoskrnl.exe being missing or corrupt. Well, I don't think it needs to be on the Win98 partition, does it? My partition layout is as follows: Primary - win98 first logical in extended - win2k second logical - win2k swap rest of the logicals are for…

Removing hardware from Win98

For the past several months I have been trying to remove an NEC Multimedia keyboard from my computer. I have tried everything I can think of, and also joined forums to try to find someone with the same problem. Everytime you remove it from the system (even having gone into the registry and startup menu) whenever you switch back on it comes up 'windows has found new hardware'. Anyone have similar problems? karenmarybrown --

Log Off question...
by Guest Paradoxdb3- 1 reply
- 306 views
Good evening, When I did a fresh clean install of Windows 98 SE, the final step was to enter a password on the startup/logon screen, with a message that said, "Tip, if you don't enter a password, you won't get this promp again". I have never entered a password, so that Windows will load as soon as I turn on my computer without me having to log on. I like it that way, since my computer is only for home use and only my wife and I use it. There's no need for a password. (Besides, from what I remember, you can simply hit cancel and Windows will load without the correct password) Now...there's a log off option in the start menu. What would happen if I …

Hard Drive wont spin up
by Guest george41407@noemail.com- 1 reply
- 368 views
I have a Quantum fireball 15gig harddrive. It has been working fine as my master. I have another identical drive for my slave. Earlier I started my computer and it would not boot. I unplugged both drives, changed the cable, all the usual stuff. Booted from a floppy and Fdisk dont even see the drive. Thats when I noticed that if I plug and unplug the power connector while the computer is on, I do not hear it spin up. However, the slave drive has a noticable spin up sound. Obviously the drive is trash. Fortunately I had a backup from a few weeks ago and did not lose much. I am not booted from that backup. Anyhow, I'd like to see if I can make that drive …

WINDOWS 98 QUESTION!
by Guest Brusso- 1 reply
- 353 views
I have this old scanner for Windows 98 which is called Pagis Pro 3.0 and will not work for Windows XP at all. What I want to do is to save these files on to a disk and save them to my other computer that has Windows XP and be able to see them on that computer as well as send them to someone in an E-Mail whether it be a picture to a document or anything else I've scanned as well also. I just want to be able to see these files on my computer that has Windows XP and for other newer versions of Windows that come out in the future for the same reasons as well also. This is also because that other computers may not have these type of conversion files and will on…

I bet you can't fix my DVD drive problem
by Guest anoyance@gmail.com- 1 reply
- 338 views
I recently got a DVD/CD drive that worked perfectly fine... for a while. I used it for some time and then one night we rented a movie (Finding Neverland) and watched it on our TV's DVD player. After watching it my sister came home and wanted to see it so my mom stuck it in again, but this time it didn't work. The player said that there was not even a DVD in the player. I decided then to take the DVD and let her see it on my computer (trying to be nice) and when I stuck the DVD in my drive, it too said no disk was in it. From that night on both the player and my drive didn't work. I could and can play CD's in it just fine, but no DVD works. The strangest and most …

98SE not broke
by Guest Lil' Dave- 1 reply
- 280 views
Just want to thank Gary, Pa Bear, Glee, and all the other folks that have contributed here. After b11_ left to the xp general group, its been pretty quiet. Not complaining mind you. Last long thread I saw was about XP SP3, not 98/98SE. Candidly, I seldom use 98SE, except to use DI2002 to copy the hidden ME partition, and use NERO 5.5. Wandered off to XP as ZA no longer supports 98SE. Then, had many problems with ZA, so I now use the xp firewall instead. Similar with NAV (I know, I know). NAV stopped supporting 98/98SE. The newer NAV versions are so abrasive to PC usage, I had to switch to Trend Micro in XP. Learned alot in Win 95 original, to…

Script Sentry question
by Guest thanatoid- 1 reply
- 537 views
Having seen Script Sentry mentioned here, I checked into it. It seems like a good alternative to what I have done - removing most of the scripting files from win\sys (with NO ill effects whatsoever I might add). But I did that before I even knew what a firewall etc. was, and anyway, firewalls don't guard you against a browser executing malware. I read about it and DL'd it and it looks like a pretty good piece of software to me. Anyone have much experience with SS? Care to comment? -- Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
