Startup Error
by Guest Trainbuff- 3 replies
- 471 views
Hello everyone. This is my first message here, and it concerns a problem I'm having when I get to the main screen (the wallpaper and start menu) in Windows 98. This error message keeps coming up: EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in module SHELL32.DLL at 0167:66869ad4. Even before this appears, none of the icons on the screen will come up. The start menu still appears though. If I click close, however, the start menu will also go away. Any suggestions? I stopped using this computer for this very reason and got a new one; however, I'd like to get it running again because I do miss it a bit. In fact, I've got both my Dell computer and this Windows 98 …

Converting USB 1.1 front panel Ports to USB 2.0 ?
by Guest Dingwhistle- 14 replies
- 817 views
Anyone know if its possible to adapt a Dell Desktop Tower 'puters front panel OEM USB 1.1 ports to be USB 2.0 enabled ? Currently, the front panel USB 1.1 ports connect to the Motherboard by some header type plug/socket (looks like a sort of IDE type cable). I have a USB 2.0 PCI card installed and that makes the two inconveniently located rear ports USB 2.0 capable, but not the front 2. They are still USB 1.1. Hope someone might know how to modify this to make it work Thanks.

How to install DSL, how to install ethernet card? 1 2

So Verizon DSL is getting cheap and it's clear IMO that my current ISP (erols/rcn/starpower in Baltimore) is never going to have highspeed. Verizon sent me the kit and started billing me yesterday**, but not until I was on the last page of the Quick Start instructions and 2/3rds of the way through the CD did I learn that I can't, they say, use the USB port, that I have to have an ethernet card. I think I have one in the other room but haven't found it yet and I don't think it has a software CD to go with it. Since ethernet wasn't common iirc in 1998/9, do I need to find software somewhere else. (The ethernet card I found on ebay had a cd to go with it.) I…

can I rip a CD as if it's one track using EAC?
by Guest brigstockedavid@yahoo.com- 13 replies

I've been ripping some classical CDs using Exact Audio Copy (I'm a beginner and most of its features are a mystery to me), and LAME. One problem is that some of these CDs have 'tracks' that aren't really separate tracks - the music is continuous, and the track number is really just a way of letting you get to that part of the symphony or whatever. EAC treats these as separate tracks, however, and the result is that a fraction of a second of the music is missing at the beginning of each track. It even sometimes misses a bit off the beginning of a track that really *is* a separate track. One solution would be to have it rip the whole CD as if it were one bi…

I'm trying to reinstall windows 98 on my computer. I succesfully reinstalled it, but it didn't have everything on it. I found the first disck to reinstall and figured that was my problem. So I tried to redo it with this disc but now my computer freezes when i try to install. It freezes when it gets to 100% when saying it's getting ready for setup. I think its the security in the BIOS but I don't know how to change it. Please Help!

I bought an Offspring USB extension (it's a USB receptacle pod that sits on the desk). I also bought a Cruzer USB 2.0 flash drive. However, the Cruzer doesn't physically fit in the receptacle pod. Is there an adapter to convert a USB 1 connector to USB 2? Thanks! Scott
