Windows Protection Error
by Guest Julie- 7 replies
- 416 views
I installed a different motherboard today with one that came out of a Windows 98 machine (no problems with that machine). I get this error when I boot up on this machine. I've re-installed Windows 98. When I re-installed, all I could see was that it replaced my registry using scanreg (twice now). I've tried what Microsoft says to do by disabling everything with msconfig. I still get the error. I DO NOT want to reformat and install clean. Isn't there a vxd file I can delete and when I reinstall, its created again.Any ideas?

Followup on my winME laptop
by Guest mm- 3 replies
- 709 views
My thanks to Martt and Ron a couple months ago for their advice on restoring winME to a laptop. I only asked in case, but what do you know, the in case happened. I missed a step and fell with the laptop, an IBM Thinkpad 600E about 7 years old, andhit a stone floor with my knee and with the laptop in a pretty thin shoulder bag. It worked fine after that. (Specific questions below end in question marks, but I seem to have to write this as a narrative, for it to make sense.) But then about 6 weeks later I gave it a really really really big whack, while it was running, and though it worked well for the rest of the session, I couldn't start windows again …

In the 2 CDs set of WIN99/98SE/ME Updates I make available by mail (email updates_at_grystmill.com for more information), I neglected to include Windows 98 Service Pack 1 which includes some system updates and all the Y2K stuff. I have made the WIN98SP1 available on my website and will include it in my package when I make the next sets of CDs. Meanwhile, I will leave this SP up on my site "forever". http://grystmill.com/downloads/win98sp1.zip

We all know to exercise our bodies to keep fit, but how often do you think about exercising your brain? And what type of exercise does it need anyway? What are the facts? What is the secret to mental agility? Keeping mentally active will keep your brain in good shape. Getting older does not mean that you have to be forgetful! Recent research into Alzheimer's disease found that people who were less active between the ages of 20 and 60 years are almost 4 times more likely to develop the disease. The brain, like the rest of the body, needs to be kept active to keep healthy. You exercise your body to keep it in shape. Now it has been shown that exercising your…

I have a win98SE Machine that been working fine. I needed to do the annual cleanup, so I opened the machine up [which I've done many times before, without any issues]. However, after I put everthing back together, I wanted the start the unit, so I pressed the power button, all I get is the CD / DVD drives light, and the floppy light, and I hear a loud power transformer hum. But nothing else happens. Nothing comes up on the monitor, and I have to hard power the unit down! I triple checked the connections and I just cannot figure this out. Can you please help?

Floppy Disk Drive
by Guest DaffyD®- 13 replies
- 797 views
I posted a question in the win98disks.general newsgroup about it being an appropriate forum to address floppy disk drive issues. Since the last post for that group was 12/6, I'd like to ask it here since this is a more active ng. I run Win 98SE, but the problem I have is with the installation of the drive itself. I've posted the issue in other ngs but have never gotten an answer which solved the problem. I've also googled for an answer but came up with nada. Is this an issue I could post here? Thanks. -- { : [|]=( DaffyD® If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

Fiesta Recently I have been constantly getting the following IE6 error message: IEXPLORE.EXE-Application Error The instruction at 0x10003dfb "referenced memory at 0x006e0069". The memory could not be "written". Click OK to terminate the program Click on cancel to debug the program When this occurs I have the choice of either logging off or rebooting.
