Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Ok I have bad news i can't find the drivers for the cards etc whatever i

have to install again once I get this drivers i post back to give my update

thanks again

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

What do you have to install again? You don't need any drivers for the ATT

DSL modem. We *are* talking about DSL (high bandwidth), aren't we? You

aren't talking about a dial-up modem, are you? A card that you insert into

the motherboard inside the computer?

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Go to Network applet, remove everything, then go to Device

Manager, delete the NIC, and in the Properties of your dial-up modem,

Disable in this Profile (not the exact terms, but I don't have a 98 machine

in front of me.) Reboot and then reinstall the NIC and let Windows rebuild

the networking.

NIC = Network Interface Card.

To get to Device Manager, right-click My Computer and the click Properties.

Device Manager should be one of the tabs.

*************you told i need to remove the NIC how do install it again then?

if i dont have the drivers?????????

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Just to make sure, you don't need to remove the card. Just remove the device

in Device Manager. Yes, you may need to have the drivers on hand. Do you

know the make/model of the NIC? If not, try using Everest 2.20 to find out:

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Hi PCR,

I did this in my Outlook Express using SBC. I cannot do this in the

other email address I have. The only thing I did different is put it in a

bulk folder and flag it. That way, I can find out if it is from someone I

know. If it isn't I will delete it then. The rest are Web Mail accounts. I

set them all up for text only.

That sounds good. I think you've got it covered, then. Very good. It is

E-Mail-- JUST because there is a rat/two out there trying to give us a

I'm with you so far; important data on old PCs, OK.

I'm with you too; keep vital data away from Internet access.

At some point, they will fail, yes.

That's where I'm not with you; I would not do this.

You have a "data island" problem; systems with data that you need, but

ways to exchange data with those systems is the problem.

Exposing the process to the risks of Internet access doesn't seem a

good way to solve this, and email may not scale up to handling the

amount of material involved.

What I would do, is pull the HDs from the old PCs, drop them into the

new one while the new one is offline, then slurp everything over.

There are skills needed to do this safely, and if you're able to

change PSUs, you probably have these skills. Things like not booting

the wrong HD, making sure mains is disconnected before chaing

hardware, making sure you can "see" all files, etc.

Else a less risky variation might be to drop the old HDs into an

external HD enclosure and then read them from the new PC via USB.

Other approaches are:

- removable disks; 1.44M, CDR, USB, SD cards in card reader

- LAN and F&PS via read-only shares on the Win98 PCs

- various "direct cable connect" strategies

Win98 has no generic "USB storage device" support, but several card

readers and USB sticks do include Win98 drivers, or have these

available for download. I'd prefer a Win98-supported card reader and

SD cards (especially if I had a camera that also uses these) to a USB

stick with drivers, then another USB stick with different drivers,

etc. Once Win98 can "see" a card reader, it can "see" as many

different SD cards as you can throw at it ;-)

You say your new PC is "always online"; is that via a router? If so,

then you can connect the Win98 PCs to that. You may have to get a LAN

card for the old PCs, but they are cheap; check that they have Win98

drivers, though, before you buy them.

For safety, I would disconnect the router from the Internet before

connecting the old PCs to the router, else they would potentially be

as exposed to the Internet as they are to the new PC.

Having said that, Win9x is fundamentally safer than NT/2000/XP/Vista

when plugged into the 'net, as long as no Internet apps are running

and you are not write-sharing anything via F&PS. Unlike the NT

family, Win9x is not written to be a network chew-toy (sorry,

"client") and doesn't wave as many services at the Internet for any

entity to take a crack at exploiting. No Lovesan, no Sasser, etc.

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

AVG is my favorite since I did not like the interface of Avast. I used to

use AntiVir which was okay but not as good as AVG in my opinion. The really

nice thing about AVG is that it uses only a small amount of resources and

removes registry entries when you unistall it. I think all programs should

automatically remove everything including registry entries when the programs

are unistalled.

Cable works with 98SE. I use Comcast cable connection and it works great in

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

I helped to beta test Vista and it is a good operating system but I am going

to wait for a while until Microsoft is able to iron out compatiblity issues

with software drivers interacting with hardware properly. In addition, my

main interest in my system is backwards compatibility to the DOS era and the

secondly the ability to run modern programs on one system. <grin>

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Good call, Chris. It still surprises me about the stupidy and misinformation

that people do not know the 9x source code is safer at the core while the NT

(New Technology) source code has more external security. This should be

general knowledge but it is not.

It's a pity, Dan, BUT... When opening an E-Mail from an unknown sender especially, yea, it's best to...

"OE, Tools menu, Options, Read tab", & check "Read all messages in plain text"

...., if not already done. I think what happens then (if HTML was used) is the E-Mail will open with an attachment containing the HTML part.

Also, I guess, at the Send tab, UNcheck...

"Reply to messages in the format in which they were sent".

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Hi PCR,

I had done all my email addresses in text a little while back. All of

them except 2 will let you go back the original message. I have those set up

using text. With these email accounts, if you delete an email in them it

opens the next one. If you check them without opening them to delete it,

sometimes you get pop ups. So far, I have not figured out how to get them to

go back to the original message. I do not use these too often, only to check

if someone I know sends an email to it. Any ideas? I only have 1 computer. I

wish I had 2. That's life!!

Re: Experts I Need Your Help

Hi Dan,

I still have stuff in my registry from McAfee. 2 folders I know of. There

may be more junk in the Registry from them, maybe shared files. I left them

alone. I do not want to mess around the registry too much. I did take

lop.com out of there. Someone was here back in '03 that used my computer

without me being nearby. He did not have my Virus Shield turned on. At that

time you had to check if it was on before you went on the web. He messed it

up real bad!! Trojans, virus's, spyware. You name it, the computer had it.

PCR,

You will have to give the credit to Gary. He is the one that helped me

with installing the Modem w/router.

Normally, I...

(a) "R-Clk the InBox, Find".

(b) Check "Received before" box.

Then, all the InBox E-Mail shows up in a Find box. R-Clk individual E-Mail, & delete going by title. If that isn't good enough, you may safely look inside one by...

(a) R-Clk individual E-Mail, & select "Properties".

(b) Click the Details tab, & then the "Message Source" button.

It is very safe to read it that way. If it speaks of attachments or HTML, delete it!
