Problem with Win98.....

October 11, 2008

Hi All.....the following message was posted to me on a non MS news

group. I wondered if any of you could help because I absolutely cannot

remember how to access the MS news groups in toto.....or as a

newbie......the link one clicks on to get to the MS news groups.

Any thoughts?? Or a link?? I guess I could post it to one of the 98

groups.

Tks.....Heather

---------------------------------

Heather,

I've got a problem. Started a week or so again.

Win 98

On boot, error messages,

Occurred in this sequence.

Missing or corrupted display.sys c:\windows\command

Missing or corrupted system.dat c:\windows\command

they each happened several times, but I managed to get it to boot by

turning

off, then back on, each time.

This a.m.

Missing or corrupted config.sys c:\windows\command

Edit line 1 and 2

I have 3 config.sys files in various locations.

The most recent is dated 2005 inc:\windows\command

There's only 2 lines in them.

I don't know what to edit???

My gut says that area of the hard drive is corrupted, but not sure.

If I rename the file, then make a copy with correct name, will the new

one

go back to the corrupted area?

or somewhere else I should be looking at config.sys?

OK....heading out, but she just told me she had AVG and SpywareBlaster

on there. She took AVG off and wonders what to replace SB with. I will

talk to her tomorrow cuz I am heading out.

Thanks.....

Microsoft Discussion Groups Home. With IE it should show on left of screen.

Re: Problem with Win98.....

HUH?? That is not the link. And I am using Outlook Express, not IE. I

used to have it saved, so it is something like "news at microsoft dot ?"

If you saved it in OE look under "Tools" then "Accounts".

Re: Problem with Win98.....

Corday.....if YOU don't use Usenet news groups, how in hell do you think

you can tell me how to get to them? Or words to that effect.

You are reading this via IE on the MS website......which is NOT the

place for an experienced person to use.

Now go away!! Your answer doesn't make any sense at all!!

Re: Problem with Win98.....

Sometime in the late 70s I changed my OS from CPM to DOS. I stopped using the

BBB and discovered something that a couple of college kids “invented” called

Newsgroups. What an amazing find!

Re: Problem with Win98.....

Heather

I'm not really sure what you're asking for but...

This is the link for a newbie to set up Microsoft newsgroups in

Outlook Express with just one click:

http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsme.general

Or maybe it's this:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx

If these aren't what you mean, please explain!!!

Re: Problem with Win98.....

Hi Heather, I *think* the link you are after is :-

news.microsoft.com

set up in OE under Tools | Accounts \ Mail

(remembering to munge your email address)

Then choose the news groups you want

Re: Problem with Win98.....

THAT'S IT!!!!! The first one. But if I want to get the general slew of

news groups, I would take out the last half?? I want to get her to the

98 ones.

IOW, I need the link for the Microsoft News Group Server or some such,

so that she can access all gazillion of them.

Re: Problem with Win98.....

I think that is sort of it. Probably I have to put MS in front of that.

I will mess with it later. Just want to get to the server for MS. So I

can give her the whole bunch of MS groups. Does that make sense?? She

knows a lot, but I don't know Win98, so figure she can find out what she

needs on one of the 98 ng's. Trying to talk her into upgrading, but not

quite sure what the problem is.

Thanks Mart....Heather

OK.....took the first half of George's link and that is the one!!

http://news://msnews.microsoft.com

This will now get saved once again, grin.

Re: Problem with Win98.....

Heather

Once you have your MS Newsgroup account in Outlook Express,

there are numerous ways to see the list of Newsgroups that

are available, here's 3 of them.

1, Click the whacking great big 'Newsgroup' icon on the top toolbar.

2, Tools > Newsgroups.

3, Ctrl+W

news is an alias for msnews and both resolve to the same group of IP

addresses (there are more than one) as can be seen by:

Re: Problem with Win98.....

Figgles,

Jim Eshelman used to - and probably still does - have a list of the MS news

groups at aumha.org, that you can find easily enough from the index page.

Click the one you want and it opens in OE. Useful in certain circumstances.

Re: Problem with Win98.....

Gracias, Arturo......the problem is/was that I was going to have to

explain on a totally different news group as an off-topic message to my

friend how she could access the MS ng's and then how to find the ones

she wanted. And as she prefers to remain anonymous for good reasons, I

suppose....I can't write her at home via email.

But you guys eventually got what I was asking. I just didn't explain

myself very well. (G)

Re: Problem with Win98.....

Not as easy to find as it used to be, but take a look sometime, Figgs:

http://aumha.org/support.php#msng

As I recall - can't test it now as I'm in Linux - you click the link, it

opens in and downloads into OE, then when you close it you're asked if

you want to subscribe to the group. When you say "I do" you'll have the

Microsoft server set up automatically and, if you want to end it you

have to go to Reno. Though I might have that last bit wrong.
