Windows XP is a NT based OS as Windows 2000, sever 2003 is. Windows 98 came from the Windows 9x family. Windows 95 was designed for the home user while Windows NT did not. Windows 98 inherit the Windows 9x base and has a real DOS. All the network support are enough for home and small...

(sorry I accidently sent it before having finished writing) Hi everyone, as some of you might know, the Windows 98 "Save As..." dialog box, besides being too small, clumsy, etc., has one annoying behavior. It lets you double-click through a folder shortcut, while replacing the name of the file...

This app note works. But, microsoft is odd, in my opinion. Here you have folders in the outlook express, but you can't keep that structure in the copying procedure. The procedure shown below will at least allow you to save the files to the disk drive and move them about. If you want to keep any...

Besides the NOD32 people releasing a W9x patch, there is a true (but leaked) version of what MS will release for an official patch for this wmf problem, but everyone should still wait till it officially comes out - I am. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1907921,00.asp Rick Vince wrote:

We have installed a new Windows 2003 server which replaced the Windows NT server. We have a few Windows 98 that connected perfectly after installing the Win 98 DS Client. However, there are about 30 computers with Windows 98 that were under the policy editor that are not connecting to the new...

That workaround of unregistering shimgvw.dll is only applicable to Windows XP Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1. Win98/98SE/ME *are* apparently vulnerable through whatever application is set as the default for the .wmf file...

Hi folks..... the bottom line is that my 98 machine is now booting up to the C: prompt. It is a home computer (once used by me for business) that I've let the kids use and they've loaded tons of kid games and such - much of which they don't play with anymore - but everything was working fine...
