When I print using anything but "plain paper" "Properties"option on Canon S530D, the black type now comes out brownish. Canon says the problem is "fonts are corrupted." Is there any way to uncorrupt without wiping out all my work and reinstalling Windows 98? (I've done all the tests with the printer, and Canon, to no avail.) -- bob

I want to copy the following features of WinME to a CD before I uninstall WinME, and restore these feature after I restore Win98SE. C:\Windows\DVDPlay.exe Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Communications>Universal Plug and Play Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>System Tools>Compressed Folders Control Panel>Taskbar and StartMenu Windows Movie Maker Window…

Floppy drive and FAT question
by Guest Walter Lane- 4 replies
- 465 views
While working on my Compaq 5700t, I removed the power supply. I put it back in, reconnected everything and had problems with the A: drive. I checked connections and redid them. It has power now and will spin the floppy, but it will not not read the floppy and I get a message about an FAT problem. I checked under properties for FAT and it's just blank. Under Win98, should this be reading FAT32? If so, how can I reset it. Thanks, Walter
