If all is working well like that, you did well. I would want to do it

I understand that the radiation of XP and Vista driver(s) could indeed cause

explosions of *.dll hell or worse in 98 Second Edition. Is that a correction

theory, Captain PCR. <grins>

Re: Windows Update for 98 really all gone?

Hey now, not quite bye but I was thinking about posting my versions too if

you are interested PCR. Also, I have now noticed that I do indeed get an

error when I go into dos mode but I think I will start a new thread about

that to get the experts here to fix that issue. Thanks again, PCR. You

truly are an awesome individual.

I don't want to know about XP/Vista versions! On the DOS problem, I'll

look for the thread when I get a chance, if it hasn't been solved by now

(& I hope it was). I continue to be busy with a leaky roof, pulling

weeds & a bad HDTV antenna. Only the weeds have been mostly solved!

Let me get this straight. A choice between a fixing a bad HDTV and pulling

weeds? Come on now PCR. After all, there are certain priorities, aren't

there? :)

Re: Windows Update for 98 really all gone?

So, PCR, are you thinking weeds first being the worst and least favorite to

most people I would guess, then new HDTV antenna as a reward and finally

newsgroup fun. <grin>

Ya know, since the weather was probably nice enough to pull the weeds, he

probably should have gone up on the roof first (make hay while the sun

shines), fixed the leak and also the HDTV antennae, then went down and

pulled the weeds. It would be hard to watch the HDTV while the roof is

leaking and/or the spouse is 'bitch'n' about it.

The weeds got to be higher than me! It was time for them to go! They are

fairly well gone now after 3/so weeks of daily pulling-- & gloves & Off!

kept the damage to me at a minimum this time around! The leaky roof took

two tries now. The next rain will prove whether a 3rd is necessary! I

can't seem to get HDTV channel 2.1 on my Vizio VW37L HDTV using a

Philips Mant510 indoor antenna anymore-- & I've retuned about 100 times

now! Other HDTV seem to come go-- but mostly go too! However, it isn't

yet a crisis because I get the Olympics fine on 4.1. First try will be

to replace the antenna.

Re: Windows Update for 98 really all gone?

PCR, I am burying this security issue within this thread on purpose. The

problem is Undetermined String Constants within Microsoft/NBC news articles.

The problem seems to be specifically targeting the security articles and

technology articles within msnbc. Do you have any information on this and

could you investigate. It shows up when you have all errors to be registered

by Internet Explorer. Calls to Microsoft just end up being that it is an msn

issue and then I just get voice stuff from msn. Emails to Microsoft on the

issue go unanswered as compared to my other answered email security and

safety issues. I do not have time to be on all day with msn and Microsoft

especially since Microsoft says it is an msn issue and msn is Microsoft and

NBC and I am sure NBC does not have the smarts to figure it out. Do you have

any info. on this and how to proceed. Thanks in advance and I am glad it is

staying dry for you.

Just going by this...

Internet Explorer 6 error

.... it seems to be a scripting error. It's something a site has done

wrong-- a logical or syntax error in a script the site uses or wrote. I

see no big reason to suspect foul play. Do you know definitively

otherwise? Personally, I have checked both...

(a) Disable script debugging, &

(b) Display a notification about every script error

.... in Internet Options, Browser section. That is why I probably haven't

ever seen the error, as i think you already said.

The full Google search...

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Undetermined+String+Constants&btnG=Google+Search

....does come up with 25,000 mentionings.

Here is an interesting one...

Undetermined string constant Error in 98se

It suggests the error also will go away by allowing certain multmedia

options in Internet Options. All of the options in my own Multimedia

section are checked except the first. That could be another reason I

don't get the error.
