AVAST - questions and queries - AVG comparison
by Guest MEB- 20 replies
- 877 views
As I previously noted, I was re-testing AVAST for a comparison between AVG and its functions. I'll start with a simple query: 1. Is there some web site which has a comprehensive setup description covering all aspects of a basic AVAST configuration setup? Yes, I did the normal searches both on AVAST home site, and via the web, but what I found seems to be segments, or incomplete information. Of course one can contact various forums, but then one is relegated to reading potentially conflicting, or un-related information. 2. For a preliminary review of one differential between the two programs, I think I can make a somewhat stark contrast. The issue rel…

windows media player 9.0
by Guest Øivind Reinemo- 1 reply
- 267 views
hi, Merry Xmas to u all. I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player for Win98. I got the BSOD (blue screen of death) during or rather at the very end of the installation process, but when I restarted I found to my surprise that the media player worked ok. The only discrepancy I have noticed is that the program does not appear on the add/remove tool in the control panel. Is this serious? How do I uninstall the program in the future? My OS is win98 SE.

Your Dream Home In France - Moving Money To France
by Guest prqview200@yahoo.com.tw- 0 replies
- 259 views
If you already live in France, or intend to finance your property purchase from equity in your UK home, chances are you'll want to move some money abroad. Transfering money from the UK to France requires someone to handle the transfer on your behalf and usually your bank will be happy to assist you but beware, though convenient and familiar, your transfer might cost you more than it needs to. Instead you may be better contacting a currency house, a company which exists specifically for the purpose of moving money; both large single amounts for your property purchase, and lower regular amounts such as a monthly pension. Transferring money via a currency ho…

Will Doubtlessly Be Reaping In Old Age What We
by Guest rota6566@yahoo.com.tw- 0 replies
- 258 views
The time is 11:20 in the morning. My grandfather and I had just come back thirty minutes ago from our regular morning walk in the neighborhood. We are yet to eat lunch in a little while. As usual, only the two of us are left in the house. I'm presently listening to a CD containing Christian New Wave songs a new friend of mine from North York, Ontario (another Canadian province), has sent me--which arrived in the mail this morning. Grandfather is on his ground-level bed, sewing something, whiling his time, curing his own boredom. I feel more comfortable and relaxed in situations like this--moments when my grandfather and I are the only souls in the house, reg…

This is an old Compaq Presario 8702 P166, in a recent thread, converted from W95 to DOS. I want to get into BIOS setup.

My daughter has a computer that runs Windows 98SE. We started it the other day and all we got on the monitor was a box right in the center that says "Out of Range" V: (numbers) and H: (numbers) and then it asks if the PC perameters are correct. I think it is trying to tell me that it is done for but any suggestions. I can't get by this screen at all to even get into the hard drive for info. If I press the Escape key it puts the monitor in the standby mode but the tower still does its thing. Rachel

Quicktime problems with Firefox and Win98
by Guest * * Chas- 11 replies
- 557 views
I have a very stable fully updated Win98 system that I've been running since 1999. Several years ago I had to update IE from 5.5 to 6 to access some online services that I use. IE 5.5 worked perfect for years. IE6 had a bunch of annoying little glitches such as printing problems so I installed Firefox and it's worked great for several years. After one of the frequent Firefox updates I now get a QuickTime broken link icon for most videos in Firefox: YouTube for example plus the startup and instructional videos in many web sites. I'm running Firefox 3.0.0.11. I've reinstalled QuickTime and all of the Adobe Flash & Shockwave updates still no joy. Quick…

Re: 250 GB drives - please help Adam wrote: > Not sure what the potential problem is with ScanDisk+Win98SE+ > Big Drives First, understand that there are 2 scandisk's. One is the DOS scandisk (scandisk.exe) and the second is Windows scandisk (scandskw.exe + diskmaint.dll). Then there is defrag (AKA windows defrag). The windows scandisk and defrag have problems when the number of allocation units (AKA clusters) exceeds a certain number (I think it's 4 million but it could be 6 or 8 million). The windows ME versions of scandisk and defrag have a higher limit (and most people recommend you use them on your win-98 system for other reasons anyways)…
