We need to re-install Windows 98 SE or ME or 2K-Pro on a laptop that has its CD drive internal connection damaged. The floppy drive works though. We have all the original Windows CDs and a Win98 boot floppy, as well as all the required drivers. The unit originally had Win98 on it that was later upgraded to WinME and subsequently to Win2K-Pro. Can we - take out the hard drive and format it (using appropriate existing adapters) in FAT on another machine and - copy the CD contents and device drivers to an install folder, and - put that drive back into the laptop, and - boot with the Win98 floppy, and - run Setup from the install folder, bypassing the CD drive? …

Hi Recently my PC auto updated to SP3. Since then my DVD burner/Rom is not able to read blank DVDs/CDs (imation)!! The moment I place an empty DVD to burn some data, my PC restarts. DVD ROM is able to read any CD or DVD which already has data or movie in it. I am not sure that is the problem. Once (PC got re-booted) windows stated that my PC has recovered from serious error. After checking the report that was created, some BCP codes and some other codes were stated in the report. I googled the problem and bought Regcure to fix the error. Since then I have never rec'd this error whenever my PC reboots its self after I place a blank DVD/CD in my DVD RO…

Whenever I attempt to defrag C drive I get a message Defragmenter has detected that chkdsk /f is scheduled to run on the volume c. Please run chkdsk /f. I have attempted to run it in safe mode and that didn't work. I also attempted to do a system restore to a previous date. This also did not work. Any suggestions? -- paultooch

Wed 9/10, I saw the remove unused icon button come up and I clicked it to close or thought I did. It popped back up so I hit o.k. It was starting the wizard and I walked away. When I came back the screen was all distorted and out of range. My computer guy tried rolling back the video driver and adjusting settings from the monitor itself and settings with no luck. Low resolution is the only way it fits or by not enlarging the windows. Was there some download on 9/10 that would have affected it. My computer has 2003 drivers.

My laptop (Win XP Pro) has become very slow to start up (more than 5 minutes before it is ready for business) and shutting down seems to take a long time too (about 3 minutes). What could I do to speed up the process? I have run CCleaner and also tried to uninstall unimportant programs - but it does not appear to help.

I'm having trouble accessing any User after the Welcome screen. Windows XP SP2 boots okay to the user Welcome screen. When I pick a user it starts 'loading the settings', thee background comes up, no desktop icons and then suddenly it goes to 'saving the settings' and back to Welcome screen. I first tried rebooting and also Safe Mode (using Administrator) but same result. Figuring XP needs a driver or repair, when I try to use the OEM XP cd to boot it gives me "install XP, create or remove partition" When I touch any key it goes to blue screen. 2 messages - either 0X8E or 0X50. From there I've tried removing recent slave HDD and added SIMM but no change. …

60 C:\$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J:$DATA 1 C:\$LogFile 1 C:\$Bitmap 1 C:\$Boot 1 C:\$MFTMirr 1 C:\$MFT::$BITMAP Should I be concerned that C:\$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J:$DATA has 60 fragments? And that the others have 1? If so, how can I defrag them. Thanks

I installed AVG anti virus (free) (in order to step someone else thru installation by phone) and then removed it. I have what appears to be an AVG file stuck in a folder that I can not delete...

Starting Windows in Safe Mode Command Prompt, it is not visible. Any suggestions as to how to get rid of it? Earl

I'm trying to move things from the system disk to another bigger disk. Can I386 be used on a disk other than the system disk? Can you suggest something that might be moved? Thanks

My digital camera makes short one minute .AVI videos. I often record the full minute, then hit the button to get another minute. I'd like to find software to paste the two pieces together, and maybe edit out some frames. In the least, I'd like to make still photos from individual frames. Does anyone know of any software I can download to do any of this? Must be for Win98. Freeware preferred if possible, excessively bloated software not needed, just something simple. Thanks for all advice
