98 SE UPGRADE


Recommended Posts

Guest PETER P
Posted

I have an IBM T1451 laptop running win 98. I have a WiFI card (PCMCIA)that

I would like to use , but get a missing DLLFILE,CRYPTUI.DLL error when

installing from the CD. The card says for version 98SE and newer. Is there

any way to change win 98 to accept this Dlink DWL- G650+ card without

updating to SE?

I am trying to do this as inexpensively as possible and would prefer not

to upgrade to 98 SE if in any way possible.(not feasible financially ) I

tried a clean install of a WIN 98SE that someone gave me but around 40 files

were missing. I am quite certain that it was a pirated version. Then I

reinstalled my OEM 98 version, (athentic ) and now need a way to connect to

DSL. I had a Dlink 10/100 ethernet card but the wire is frayed and I need a

way to connect to my DSL line here in Greece.

Thanks

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

Your basic oiptions are a real upgrade to 98SE, or an alternative operating

system.

 

98SE options include:

 

1. buy it at a retail store (full price).

2. buy a "used" copy on eBay, caigslist, or similar (cheaper).

3. find someone who is about to throw away a computer with 98SE on it and

take the 98SE CD (likely free).

 

Alternatives include:

 

1. ME (not free, and not recommended)

2. XP (not free; also check hardware requirements; XP thrives on RAM and

requires several Gig of hard drive space.)

3a. LINUX (many free versions are available; check hardware requirements of

each; depending on your hardware, you might want to use an older version of

one of these. Examples: Red Hat, Suse, Ubuntu)

 

http://www.linux.org/dist/

http://www.ubuntu.com/

http://www.hungrypenguin.net/downloads.html

http://www.mandriva.com/en/download

http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org

 

3b. LINUX "live CD", meaning that you run directly from the CD, without

installing it on the hard drive. Some will auto-detect all hardware and

configure themselves accordingly. If you have enough RAM, try the KNOPPIX

CD. Insert CD, reboot, and it should eventually get to a desktop. If you

like a live CD, most can also be installed on the hard drive, often in

parallel with the existing operating system with a choice via a boot loader.

CRYPTUI.DLL isn't a Windows file, it's an Internet Explorer file. To replace it,

try reinstalling (over-install) your version of Internet Explorer.

GLEN

Good news sorta. I was able to dowloand ie6 sp1 on my toshiab laptop and

load it successfully to the IBM laptop. I also spliced the dongle cable on

the PCM cia card and it is working now, albeit it very tenuously. I dl ABG7.5

and Ccleaner and will try spybot Had some problems with it initially ) or

some other antispyware tmrw.

I am hoping that by installing IEv6 I will be able to use the European ver

Dlink DWL- G650+ card and have a wifi installation that works without any

more expenses.

Do I need and can you suggest both a firewall and an antispyware. I used to

use Lavasoft free edition but I hear there are much better out there now.

Glen Thx for all, cause by defineing the CRYPTUI file as a IE file I

approached the problems from a totally different tack.

I also tried a clean install of 98se but IBM told me that I already have

an OS installed and they will only acept an SE upgrade not a clean install

This is still a 300 Mhg laptop with 256 mgs RAM that I have upgraded, so I

am trying to squeeze as much performance out of it , so I can leave it for my

my wife to use untill I get around to a newer one for me and then I will give

her the Toshiba.

THX AGAIN

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

Peter,

To be a bit more specific, cryptui.dll is an IE file, but a version of it was

included with Win98SE. AFAICS it was not included with Win98 original version:

http://www.modem-help.co.uk/old/help/cab.html#sup

 

Installing or reinstalling IE6 SP1 should install the file. If it is a reinstall

(overinstall) just install the components you already have installed, and it will go

very fast.

 

Be sure to close ALL open programs, and disable the screensaver and anti-virus,

before starting the installation. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and End Task on everything

but Explorer and Systray, to be sure to get most of the background apps.

 

After it is installed and you have rebooted, you should go to Windows Update, scan

for and install any critical updates it finds for your system. Reboot, then try

your D-Link wireless card installation. Be sure to close all open apps while

installing. Also, be sure it is not listed in Device Manager from a previous failed

installation. You might want to start in Safe Mode and make sure there are no ghost

copies of the D-Link card showing in Device Manager before installing. If there

are, remove them, then restart in normal mode and install the PC card.

 

This is not to say that the installation will be a success, since it does say the

requirement is Win98SE, not Win98, but it's worth a try.

 

From where are you installing the driver for the D-Link PC card? Is it on a disk,

or did you download it? The newest driver appears to be the topmost one here

(version 2.04):

http://www.dlink.com.sg/products/support.asp?sec=&pid=307#drivers

 

It might be worth a try using that one.

 

There's not much good in the way of anti-spyware that works with Win98. The older

Ad-Aware SE was pretty good, but I don't care for the new version. I am still using

the older SE version on Win98 systems I work with, along with SpyBot Search and

Destroy, and SpywareBlaster.

 

Firewall......are you using a router? If so, you may not need a software firewall.

 

If not, ones that I know work well with Win98 are Kerio v.2.1.5:

http://download.oldversion.com/keriopf215.exe

 

and Tiny Personal Firewall 2.1.5a:

http://download.oldversion.com/tpfirewall2015a.exe

 

Although this article deals with firewalls in XP and contains some obsolete links,

you may find it useful:

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

Hey Guys ,

I was succesful installing IE 6.0 and the upgrades aside from one for

flash player. When I installed the DLINK from the CD rom ( same version as

you posted ) the driver installed , device manager sees it as working

prioperly but I got a DHCP error on reboot. This is not the same error I had

before CRYPT etc etc

A friend says the card cannot commun icate with that error. I am going

out to see if I can either get an old USB or PCMCIA card for win 98 First

Edition over here in Greece. ANy other thoughts would be greatly appreciated

TIA

You need to check the setup for the device and your other network settings

under Networking to ensure all are setup properly. You may have more than

one device configured to assign DHCP/IP addressing, or you may have none

configured. You'll need to run through your router, network setup, and

firewall setings completely.

You'll also need to check IE's settings as well.

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

 

MEB Thx for the suggestions.

I will have my friend who is much more tech savy than me look at those

settings tmrw.

Individually, tried to load AVAST antipsyware and then after that Search

and Destroy both to no avail. They both seemed to freeze , crash whatever I

want to call it. Is expecting a 1999 IBM Think PAD 1450 i 299 MHX with

256 mgs of ram to run WIN 98 and a printer installed, a AVG antirus , IE

6.o , Ccleaner and then expect to be able to add an antyspyware to it

being unrealistic. Also the attempt at installing a WIFI card which is so far

unsuccessful. This particular computer crashed horribly after running XP

Pro, the same printer, Zone alarm Internet security suiten and a 10/100

PCMPIA ehternet card on it.

It then took a while to get it restored back to the original IBM think Pad

laptop state. When I run the PC doctor test on it all the componenets check

out fine.

Is it possisble that it has seen its day ?? I am cluless to the life

expectancy of laptops and puters in general . The only actual repairs I have

done are to hae the backlight replaced and upgradeing the RAM to 256 .

All thoughts would be appreciated

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

What is the exact DHCP error you are getting, word for word in its entirety, and

exactly when in the startup process are you getting it?

 

This does not sound like a problem with the card itself, necessarily, but with some

configuration, as I think MEB mentioned.

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

There is no Avast Anti-spyware. Avast is an anti-virus, and you stated earlier that

you have AVG anti-virus installed. What is the exact link where you found and

downloaded what you are calling Avast Anti-spyware?

 

I have a 333MHz AMD K6-2 with 128MB RAM, from 1998, and it runs Win98SE with an

Epson printer, a Visioneer scanner, Avast anti-virus, IE6, Opera, and Firefox; it

runs fine, so I doubt those apps are the cause if the problems.

 

Start off with a clean boot and see how that affects your stability:

Ah wait a minute, you already have ANTI-V installed with AVG, trying to

install AVAST won't work. Since AVG is already installed, nix AVAST. I see

Glen already caught that [good thing I held this in Drafts ...]

 

SpyBot S&D should have installed easily. It's a *use when needed*

application, and makes modifications to the registry to dis-allow certain

sites and ActiveX/Java activities, cookies, and a few other things when you

IMMUNIZE the system [which you should do everytime you update the defs]..

Yeah, its slow for XP if its only 300mhz, and short on memory. ZA Suite is

a memory hungry program and so is XP.

 

SO we're discussing a PCMCIA card then?

Not really. It should continue just fine with 98, though you will have to

be careful to get devices that support 98 [not requiring 98SE], or run a

generic driver [if applicable AND available]. Of course its going to be slow

with 98, but compared to the setup running XP, it will seem fast.

 

As was originally advised by Bob, 98 is not very supportive of many

cards/devices used for Internet connection. HOWEVER, if you actually got

the drivers for the card to install, and its showing up properly in Device

Manager and Networking, then you may have a chance.

 

Returning to your original comment from IBM, ah, if you had a full version

of SE, you can force it to upgrade 98 using some switches in the command

line.... IBM isn't still supplying support for the notebook is it?

Again, if the device is showing up properly in Device Manager AND in

Networking, then we need a posting from winipcfg output AND what is showing

in the Networking tabs {TCP/IP settings - DNS, IP, Gateway, WINS} for the

device.

To use winipcfg : Start > RUN > winipcfg - press enter > Press More Info >

find the device and post what it shows for:

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

I am quite certain that I got the DHCP error when I installed I.E. V6.0.

I have purchased a Level One # FPC-0106TX 32 BIT 100 mbs pcmcia THAT THE

SALESMAN TOLD ME WOULD WORK ON WIN 98 ORIGINAL edition , although the box

says 98SE/2000/me/xp and tried installing it to no avail. I can return it. It

is not listed in the known devices in windows installation wizard and it

requests that I install from a floppy although it came with driver on a CD. I

tried to install it thru browseing but got 2 device drivers installed , that

shows in Device manager with a yellow slash thru them . It reads existing

Ndis2 driver and also Existing ODI driver .

 

And then it asks me to Put in the floppy for a Novell xxxx no clue? Both of

these have the yellow error icon attached to them . I have removed them both

and am back to the LINKSY PCMPIA C 100 with the frayed wire, working at least

..

 

Does anyone know how to fool this IBM into loading WIN SE ( Full Edition

) . I have tried to fool it 2x and get an IBM errror that says the upgrade

version must be used.That would be the best solution. If I were in the USA

there are Upgrade editions available on EBAY. Here in Greece I do not have

many options.

 

Does anyone think it is worthwhile to uninstall and reinstall I.E.6 to

see exactly what error message I get ?

Thx again to all :)

 

P.S. I now remember that I installed the AVST to the partitioned D drive

and did not click on the exe file to run it , so it is inaccurate to say it

would not install the AVAST Antivirus. MY BAD . 4 days of fighting with

this Laptop has made me punchy.

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

Well some very good news. While researching and attempting to UPGRADE

to 98 SE I wetn to Level Ones site and say that they said the PCMCIA ethernet

card was 98 FE compatible.

 

So i tried again and Voila it installed this time although it did not

recognize the card but saw it as a generic device . I have AVg antivirus and

wonder what would be a good antispyware. I am on a router so I do not need a

firewall as Glen pointed out.

 

Does it seem worthwhile to continue to try to upgrade to SE? For the

moment, I onky need it to to install this WIFI card. Is there any

significant other reason in your opinions to pursue the UPGRADE.

Thanks

Should be OK as long as it's working. I was busy last night and could not

reply....I was going to suggest starting over by cleaning out all the network

devices and reinstalling the NIC.

There are not a lot of anti-spyware apps to choose from that work with Win98 or

98SE. What I generally use are Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, SpywareBlaster;

and for trojans,Trend Micro's SysClean (second item on this page):

http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp and

http://esupport.trendmicro.com/support/viewxml.do?ContentID=en-125991

 

A good program that is not free is Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy v.1.5:

I would, but it depends on what you plan to use this system for, and what your

hardware is. Mainly, 98SE has much better support for USB devices, and in most

cases is needed for successful support of USB 2.0. 98SE has better driver support

in general, with changes in the device driver model. A main feature in 98SE that was

not available in 98 is Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

Hi Guys,

I have been tooling around with this IBM and it has been working fairly

well. I installed SE and then had a problem so used the recovery CD and I am

back to square one win 98 wise.

I tried installing lavasoft antipyware but it does not open properly, just

like the Avast would download but not install . I had some type of MSIEXEC

error , but I have done so much stuff , I do not know where to find it.

I beleive this stops programs from installing properly.

 

I have found info on MSiexec errors for WIN XP but not for 98. Any thoughts?

Thx

Peter P

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

If you are trying to install Ad-Aware 2007, that's probably your problem. It does

not install on Win98/98SE/ME.

 

Among its system requirements is one of the following operating systems: Windows

2000 (Pro and Server), Windows Server 2003 (32-bit), Windows XP (Home and Pro,

32-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit).

 

For Win9x, you must use the older Ad-Aware SE:

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

Thx Glen,

I will try to download that as soon as my wife finishes with the IBM.

I was able to succesfully download the search and destroy but when I click

on it to open, it makes a grinding sound as though it is trying to read the

floppy drive. Then I tried upgrade and got 4 SUM something errors so I

remover Spybot search and destroy for the second time. I will post back what

happens with the older Adaware version .

Thx again

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

 

Thanks Glen ,

I downloaded older version from file.hippo. I ran it and selected

Thorough scan and got a blue screen during the scan. Could I have overtaxed

or overheated the laptop?

 

I reran it with the normal settings and it seemed OK. It is either the

ADaware scan , or the addition of a wired PS2/USB Mouse that caused the Blue

screen

 

Since this puter crashed running XP with the same mouse , I am worried

about leaving it connected. Could it be the cause of the Blue screen or is

the antispyware scan more likely ?

 

Thx

Peter P

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

What did the blue screen say, exactly? The complete error on the screen might give

a clue to the cause.

 

I'd remove the mouse first, and use the built-in trackball or whatever is on that

laptop, and try another full scan to see if you still get the error without the

mouse.

Re: 98 SE UPGRADE

 

I ran it 2x via normal scan, with the mouse removed and it had no

problems. I think it may have overheated or the mouse was the problem. In any

event I will use it with the built in IBM pointer

Thx again

I have a feeling I will be back with some new issue :)
