Install 2nd HD or External HD
by Guest Angel- 15 replies
- 844 views
Hi everyone, I was thinking of installing a second hard drive or getting an external hard drive for the purpose of backing up files. I have 2, 1.1 USB ports. One is occupied by my APC battery backup and the other, I am using a Belkin 4 plug in hub. What is the best way to go? Do I need drives for these options? What do I need for this purpose. I am running Windows 98SE on this machine. TIA Angel

Dual Booting Win98 and XP is is possible?
by Guest justme_jim@nospam.com- 2 replies

Is it possible to boot to both Win98 and XP? I also want Dos. I assume my win98 would be the dos boot, since right now I boot to dos and have to type WIN to start windows. What I want is this same setup for 98 and dos, OR boot to XP. How can I do this? Do I put both OSs on C:, or should I put one of them on D: (another partition)?

Netscape 7.2 in Win98SE
by Guest Robert Baer- 8 replies

About 10 years ago, it loaded fine and i was able to configure the various toolbars, etc to my liking. Maybe because i have already installed Firefox, i have been having problems with getting NS7.2 to work. Install, and the top looks "reasonable", but "items" on the top bar like "edit / view / bookmarks" etc do not work, and there is only one toolbar below that (fine with me), but the buttons do not work. URL address bar is always blank, and no (valid) URL displays *ever*. Uninstall, re-install; everything is in a different place on the HD, but it looks and acts the same. Tried some editing of panacea.dat, changing logic from hidden="true…

Application Interface Icons Appear Corrupt 1 2

Hello, On my Win98SE PC some Applications at startup show inclear Icons in their Toolbars and all around user interface. Icons pictures are not rendered properly (unclear), while picture files open by the same applications are shown properly. It happens time to time with many applications in random order, and icons that were not shown properly one time, the next startup of the same application may be clear. More, part of the icons on the same application toolbar may be clear, but the rest is not. I read, system icon issues may be related to insufficient system Icon Cash File size. But my problem is with application icons, not system. NOD32 shows no viru…

Can anyone solve the following problems? 1) In the Bookmarks, the first (useless) entry is "Bookmarks Toolbar Folder" - how can i get rid of that *permenantly*? 2) The bookmarks background is grey, making entries hard to read - how can this be changed? 3) Click on add URL to bookmarks, and a stupid, redundant, time-wasting POPUP prompts to "add in bookmarks" - how to eliminate? 4) Default URL not shown in address bar when launched.

When I type an e-mail message or text in a webpage text area, or even a text document in Notepad or another Text Editor, the cursor jumps time to time to different places around the text, so I need to return it to the text end every time. May it be Laptop Trackpad related or Win settings? What to do to prevent cursor jumping?

Video adaptor driver
by Guest Paradoxdb3- 2 replies

Just the other day, I got a "new" computer from work. It's a Compaq Deskpro EN. The case is of the small type...I believe it's called small form factor? Anyway, I took the HDD and CD burner out of my old IBM PL300 and installed them in the newer computer case. It took a while to get the Compaq to load from the new hard drive. I didn't want to fdisk the HDD because I have so much stuff on there I cannot lose! So, I used Compaq's disk "test" function and that seemed to help. Anyhow, as could e expected I need to find drivers for the new graphics adaptor in the Compaq. It took me a while, because I didn't know what adaptor was in the machine (I di…

Is this a drivers or Win 98 updates problem? Thanks.
by Guest kplumm- 2 replies
- 346 views
I re-installed Windows 98 on a Packard Bell machine recently but it's not running as modern-looking as it was. I'm a bit naive about this subject - the fresh install has got rid of other problems, e.g. windows Protection Errors, but do I now need to find drivers (and if so, for what - monitor, grapohics card?) or updates? Are Windows 98 updates archived anywhere? The picture is very low res looking. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this otherwise good machine going well. Thanks for all efforts.
