RE: GO BACK I have the CD for 'Adobe Photo Deluxe 4.0 Home Edition. ...I used it to re-install. However, I still get this pesky error message.

Windows 98 stuck in safe mode
by Guest Katrina- 7 replies
- 669 views
Hi I've just moved and unpacked the computer and discovered some problems with my windows 98 machine: halfway through startup it starts over and then it hangs with an hourglass cursor for a long time and then when it finally loads up, it's stuck in safe mode. Part of the problem is that the computer only takes a serial mouse because the PS/2 port broke off a long time ago. The serial adapter and mouse came up missing in the move (I'm sure I packed it somewhere safe - a little too safe). The computer has worked fine without the mouse in the past so I don't think that's the problem. I've tried a clean boot, but it doesn't reveal any problems wit…

Hi, I got an error message when trying to do a windows update. It directed me to an article (# 319585) which ultimately directed me to delete the files named: iuctl.dll and iuengine.dll Then it said to go to the Windows Update web page to install new copies of ActiveX Controls. I tried to do this but couldn't find how or where to get this download for Windows 98. Any advice?

Looks like you'll be able to get it functional in win-98 by downloading the via drivers from here: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=6&CatID=1110 Specifically: http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/VIA_HyperionPro_V512A.zip (VIA Hyperion Pro Driver Package) That board has PCI and PCI-e slots.

Scandisk and external 320GB USB HD 1 2
by Guest Franc Zabkar- 49 replies
- 2.6k views
I recently purchased a 320GB HD and a USB enclosure. I used Fdisk (in a Win98SE DOS box) to partition the drive, and I then formatted it via the GUI. Fdisk reported some strange numbers but in the end it appears that the drive's full capacity was achieved. My question is, is it OK to use Scandisk to verify this drive, or will it corrupt the file system? IIUC, internal drives have issues with Scandisk but external drives are treated differently in some way. Are there any other precautions I should be aware of? BTW, if anyone would like me to do some testing, now is the time. I suppose I could do my own experiments with Scandisk, but I thought I'd get some opi…

What is the actual memory limit for Win98se?
by Guest eagerbeaver@nospam.com- 4 replies
- 467 views
When I look at websites, (and most of them found on google are discussion groups), I find that no one actually agrees with how much RAM memory win98 can support. I've seen as little as 512megs to as much as 4 gigs. Does anyone know a definate answer? I presently have 384megs and it runs well. I could replace the 128 meg with a 256, a 512, or larger. I doubt I'd want to go any bigger than that, but a 512 replacement would give me 768 and that seems plenty for win98. However, can win98 use that or am I better just going with 512? Thanks EagerBeaver

Address Book program
by Guest Mike E- 21 replies
- 1.6k views
Hello, I use Win98se, and I'm looking for a simple freeware (or low$ shareware) that is a cardfile with adding photos capability. Meaning that each card can hold info and a photo of each contact, in a layout similar to a photo I.D. card or driver's license. If you are familiar with mIRC, it includes an address book -exactly- as I'm describing. I've googled the heck out of this. Does someone know of an application? Thanks, Mike E

erratic cursor problem
by Guest Resident- 1 reply
- 341 views
The cursor on my W98 system has developed a habit of erratically jumping all over the screen with the slightest mouse movement. A reboot cures the problem for a while. The hardware checks out ok, I'm running a KVM and switching to the other computer shows the mouse to be ok. Switching the computers ports on the KVM still leaves the problem on the same computer. Any ideas will be appreciated. Oscar

Free avg spyware.
by Guest Greg Rozelle- 11 replies
- 983 views
I am a little confused. Didn't they make a free avg spyware program for windows 98? I look at their system requirement. It did not say windows 2000/NT or Xp. It just gave the very minimum requirements and did not list the operating system. What did they stop support for windows 98 spyware? (I do not like XP or Vista) I also notice http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Spyware/3000-8022_4-10610898.html That on this page it list 98. So for it to work, you must use the paid version. Am I correct? I just hope a don't have to go back using f-prot for dos for my virus protection. That would suck. Greg Rozelle
