Guest Dan Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Re: Deleting Files causes Freezup My XP Professional does too. BTW, I wanted to switch from Internet Explorer 7 to IE 6 for XP Pro. and even with Microsoft's help, I now have *.dll with application failed. Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.16 on XP Professional SP3 is now gone and removed at Microsoft's suggestion because I wanted to attend their Live Meeting and Microsoft told me it could only be done within Internet Explorer and so XP Professional web browsers are now all toast. The rest of the operating system still works normally and I will eventually do a full backup and clean install. I will not go with Internet Explorer 7 again because it does not work as well as Internet Explorer 6 fully updated. I am glad IE 5.5 works well for the poster and on my 98 SE side, it works well fully updated with one MS-DOS error that I am still investigating but I will post about that another time when I actually have time to work on it. I know I am hijacking this post but I figured it is okay since the issue has been resolved and all the people are posting here in this topic that I want to see this post. Have a great September 11, 2001 and remember it has already been 7 years which I can hardly believe because the event is still so fresh in my mind but enough of that and God Bless Everyone especially Canada, Ireland, USA, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, England, France, Spain, Scotland, Belgium, Germany and yes even Russia. <smile> "dadiOH" wrote: > letterman@invalid.com wrote: > > This makes me wonder if ANYONE hasever used and enjoyed that "View as > > Web page" feature in Explorer?

Guest Dan Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Re: Deleting Files causes Freezup Thanks, my customized 98 Second Edition certainly does not need lite. I agree with Gary S. Terhune that it is essential to be edit to manually edit the registry to remove old entries and also it is great because it is a complete clean install on a custom build with a Falcon Northwest case because it was originally a Falcon Nortwest with Windows 98 back in about the year 2000. Now with 2 hard drives and 98 Second Edition as the primary operating system it is awesome and the nice thing is 98 SE does not go down for me at least like XP Professional does or like even Vista Home Premium can. I will indeed have to eventually do a clean install of XP Professional but wonder whether I should have the file system for XP Pro. in Fat32 rather than NTFS because despite the security of NTFS it does not seem to have the stability of the Fat32 file system at least in my testing of computers and my observations. I am sure everyone will be outraged to hear my opinion about this and strongly disagree but that is why we all post here to share our ideas and opinions and allow others to correct us despite when it hurts.

But MS has stopped providing updates to IE6 for Win98. Also, it is exceedingly rare one need to run the IE Repair tool (or that it would fix anything if run, even). -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR pcrrcp@netzero.net

Very soon though :) The few series I indulge in are already auto set to record from last seasons settings, I can see them showing up now on the to do list (using DTV) and in 1080i HiDef as well.

Looking at the Properties of our posts, I see... Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:48:30 -0500 << Yours Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 19:24:31 -0400 << My response ....But I am in...

Can I have undone it somehow? Now I have to remember what that was all about-- sheesh! Are you on a Win98? Does your Registry key look like this...?... REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Time Zones\Eastern] "Display"="(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)" "Dlt"="Eastern Daylight Time" "Std"="Eastern Standard Time" "MapID"="38,39" "TZI"=hex:2c,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,c4,ff,ff,ff,00,00,0b,00,00,00,01,00,02 ,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,02,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 I'm thinking my post's Properties could be showing -04:00 because we are in the "daylight savings" period or visa versa.
