I deleted Adobe Photoshop and the disabled Adobe Gamma Loader.exe still shows in the startup window in the SCU. I checked and it's not in the Common Programs file on the C drive (as shown in Startup), nor is this file in HKLM in the registry. Where in the registry to you go to remove these "phantoms? Do I have to reinstall the original program and then delete it again? How do you delete disabled items that are not shown in the registry? -- { : [|]=( DaffyD® If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

Can't View New Posts Using OE6

- 306 views
I've also been able to view all new newsgroup messages using the Outlook Express newsreader. Now, starting this month, I'm not able to see any posts after 11/2. The reason I sent 3 posts regarding one issue is that my posts didn't show up in the OE6 newsreader. I've tried refreshing it but it didn't help. Has the OE news reader been discontinued? Is this the right group to post this issue or does it belong in the OE newsgroup?

* THE 12 STEPS OF MICROSOFT WINDOWS *
by Guest anon2@anon.com- 4 replies
- 341 views
* THE 12 STEPS OF MICROSOFT WINDOWS * 1. We admitted we were powerless over Microsoft and that our lives had become unmanageable from using Windows. 2. Came to believe that a powerful operating system greater than Windows could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our computers and our operating system over to the care of Linux, OS/2, or Macintosh as we understood which works best. 4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our hard drives, and deleted all Microsoft files. 5. Admitted to Microsoft Customer Service, to ourselves and to other computer users the exact nature of Windows faults. 6. Were entirely ready to have the For…

Starting applications automatically in safe mode
by Guest Frank- 11 replies

I need to start a logger application under Windows98 when the system is started in safe mode. I know that I have to use the registry key HKLOCALMACHINE\System \CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot but I don't know what to add. Perhaps a new Key under Minimal and Network keys with the name of the application? And so, where is the information about which program to launch? I need to launch a program .EXE in a specific folder. I tried with win.ini on [bOOT] section, keys run= and load= without any result. I tried also to prefix with a * the key that starts the application when OS is started in normal mode under HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentV…

Windows 98 Time Zone Update
by Guest Patrick- 4 replies
- 314 views
Time Zone update for Windows 98 Operating System The USA and Canada and other countries have decided for energy savings, greenhouse gas reduction or other reasons to change the starting and ending dates for Daylight Savings time. This requires an update to the time settings for all versions of Microsoft Windows. For Windows NT, 2000, or XT microsoft provides Windows Updates for the necessary changes. However since Microsoft is trying to migrate users to Windows Vista and XP they did not provide an easy update for Windows 98 so I made one from the information they provided for Windows XT, modified it for the proper Windows 98 registry settings and tested i…

We have one remaining Windows 98 se CD in the organization that I can find and it is not readable any longer.

I have the product key from this original Win98 SE CD. Does anyone know where I can download and burn another Win98 CE CD for free? Thanks, Brad

Moving On (Sort Of...)
by Guest Nigel Stapley- 5 replies
- 331 views
Well, I finally bit the bullet. After nearly 6.5 years, I've bought a new PC. Not having gone *completely* potty, I declined Vista and went with XP Pro. It's a nice rig. I still have my old 98SE machine, though, and intend getting a year or two more out of it yet. I'm going to keep it for certain functions and - in due course - to set it up as a dual-boot machine with (probably) Xubuntu, 'cos I want to get my head around Linux OSes. So although you won't be seeing as much of me from now on (and I may have to start hanging out in The Group With The People Who Forgot To Wear Their Tinfoil Beanies), I'll still be reading regularly and asking obvious…

Reformat, Reinstall, and updates
by Guest Paradoxdb3- 1 reply

Last night, I reformatted the HD and installed everything all over...AGAIN! It's actually quite a peaceful past time lately! I was just wondering something. After I installed the Yahoo messenger for my wife, it automatically installed the latest flash player for IE6, which is Adobe Flash Player 9. I haven't yet patched the computer with the Microsoft updates. I know from past experiences, that if I apply the critical service packs AFTER I've installed Adobe Flash Player, I lose that flash player to Macromedia's flash player 5. My question is, do I really need the Microsoft critical updates for Windows 98, WMP9, DirectX9, and IE6? I'm behind a ro…
