This file in Windows/system (312KB) opens on startup (Win98 6.0). Strangely, I can't find any mention of it on GOOGLE or Microsoft Help. Is it a 'legit' program ? Do I need it ? Do I need it to run on startup ? The reason I'm asking is there are 2 'windows' that hang up this computer...

Using Win98SE. Every few days I find my clock is a half hour slow. Exactly a half hour. It is not running slow, it is being reset somehow. ???????????

The changes required would be quite extensive. The speed of a CPU is the maximum clock rate that it can run at, not the speed at which it actually runs - that is determined by the motherboard it's plugged in to. You need to confirm that the motherboard you are using has the ability to run the...

I have Win98se. I have a card reader for my SD camera cards. I have used this card for months with no problem. Yesterday I plugged the card into my USB port and the computer froze up.

Aside from churning out new OS revisions, some profit might be had from looking at current examples of old systems that, in spite of the status quo, have somehow managed to survive, in daily practical use, and without the benefits of a re-install.
