On a pc with win98se After trying to install software for a Zip CD player, I got a few blue screens When I open up I get the following message- While initializing device IOS: Error: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load Either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt or the system is low...

My computer runs on Windows 98 and does not have the resources to upgrade to any higher version of Windows. I have found several versions of this file for newer versions of windows, however, none of them are formatted for Windows 98. I can not buy new equipment for Windows 98, and this WiFi...

I have 98SE + the current AutoPatcher for 98SE + RP7.11 installed on my P3 600, 256megs, Radeon 7000, DSL internet computer. Everything is working superbly but I am now thinking of moving up to XP pro because Avast, the last free AntiVirus software to support 98SE will probably stop that support in...

Are any of the external, or if need be internal, harddrives that are sold at stores these days work with win98SE? I know that the MP3 player I bought two years ago said it required XP, but that was just if I wanted to use special features. As long as I only wanted to copy files to it from a PC...

As far back as I can remember, if I had an Explorer window opened at shutdown, the same window would open automatically at the next startup. Suddenly, in the last couple of days, this is no longer happening. I didn't make any changes to my system, much less any that could reasonably account for...

Hello Not sure if this is a Windows 98 problem, but being a 98 user, it has happened to me. When I am filling out Dialogue Boxes and so on, I used to just TAB to the next section, but now, when I hit TAB, it minimises everything instead of putting me in the next field to fill out. Does anyone...

My Win98 desktop has had a problem booting up twice recently. After recognizing the CD ROM, it starts displaying lines and lines of drivers, plus MSD, MSD MSD MSD, etc. After shutting it down a few times, it reboots normally. Is this a registry problem? Other than entering "scanrag /restore" the...

From post by ojn at Techuy's 31July2009. Checked for real. Avast has added the following notice without much announcement. See: http://www.avast.com/eng/system-requ...vast-home.html : "Note: The operating systems Windows 95/98/Me/NT4 will be supported until the end of 2009."

This is sort of a question and comment because I was wondering how users could still keep up to date as much as possible with a Windows 98 machine in a modern computing environment. 1. The Opera Browser is still supporting Windows 98 2. Java 5 is still being updated through October 30, 2009 3....

I've just inherited an olde laptop which limits on 98SE. It came with a fresh 98SE install and a loose wireless NIC (RoamAbout by Enterasys) which the previous owner had used successfully on the machine. There was no info with the NIC but the P/O supplied a link to the drivers...

I think I asked about this a while ago but got hung up with it. I have a certain folder, let's call it C:\Drafts, which periodically fills up with lots of .tmp Word files which I delete by opening the folder, doing a search for .tmp files, and deleting them. I want to automate this process with a...

Is it now (in 2009) legally OK to run unlicensed copies of Win98 / Win98SE?
