What is the importance of disabling the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat screens in msconfig.exe? Some computers will not start without Config.sys. Also, when creating a "clean environment" in Diagnostic selection for analysis the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat are enabled and the System.ini and Win.ini are disabled. Using step-by-step confirmation technique and not enabling the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat as part of the analysis.

Security of digital camera when using USB card reader
by Guest zhengshareware- 3 replies
- 402 views
Digital cameras have gained popularity nowadays. However, they are always host to viruses, Trojans, hacker toolkits, worms and other kinds of malicious programs. For example, when you plug your USB card into a computer that is infected by viruses, these viruses will enter into your USB card by creating a file named AUTORUN.INF and malicious programs on the digital camera. After that, when you use the digital camera in another computer, the one will be at risk. So, how should we protect against threats from digital cameras? Well, here are some suggestions. 1. Disable AUTORUN in the registry and remove the AUTORUN.INF file manually. The AUTORUN.INF file is a text…

Delay after closing Internet Explorer
by Guest DavidB- 2 replies
- 353 views
When I close my last Internet Explorer window and click on another program icon (or the Start Menu), the hour glass sits there for almost a minute and one-half (80 seconds) before the requested program starts. I am running a Pentium 233 MHz with 128 Meg of Ram. Is there a setting in Internet Options or elsewhere that I can use to try to fix this delay?

Nvidia Driver Shutdown Problem 1 2
by Guest Tamiami- 36 replies
- 2.1k views
Greetings, I recently purchased a BFG Nvidia 7800GS AGP card and since installing the drivers (version 82.16, allegedly for 98SE) the machine refuses to shutdown properly. Upon deleting the driver package, it shuts down perfectly. The shutdown patch has been applied. BFG is stumped and said they are referring the issue to Nvidia and that's the last I heard from them. Is there driver release software that would assist 98 in shutting down? Maybe a batch file? EnditAll doesn't help. And be sure to avoid anything from BFG. -- STOP using Google NOW!

I have a very old Apple computer that is presently used only with Claris FileMaker pro. These files date way back (1991) and are now too big so I would like to convert them to my PC and bid adieu to the Mac. Does anyone know of a forum, newsgroup or can you help me in this endeavor?

System Locks During Internet Access
by Guest Tony- 3 replies
- 430 views
I have an older machine that runs WIndows 98SE, when accessing the Internet the system will lock up so bad the monitor loses signal from the video card. It is if the motherboard itself losses power to the PCI cards. when this happens the link light goes out on the ethernet card. So for I have reformatted and reistalled, that did not help, So I went out and downloaded all the latest drivers for the hardware (motherboard, video, network card, modem) then I reformatted and reinstalled again,, still no help. I then though I would try a different network cark, same issue. You can run the machine all day long and do word processing, play games, and it never lock…

Constantly Reboots
by Guest Shell- 7 replies
- 548 views
Win98SE randomly reboots now - didn't before. BUT, it doesn't reboot in Safe Mode! I have run a virus scan, and spyware scan = OK I have cleaned heat sinks, fans (run OK), and blew out the entire inside of dust bunnies. RAM test OK as does settings in Bios. There have been no changes to 98SE or it's files. The comp is used only for reading/writing email in OE. This bug appeared out of the blue. The only addition is Vista being part of the Network but it is not allowed to connect to ANY 98 because it locks them up. Even with the Vista machine off, the 98 reboots now and then, but AGAIN, not in when in Safe Mode. Help please: Google has nothing - bee…
