Hi, I am getting ready to install Windows 98 on a 1ghz P3 with 512mb Ram system. I have two hard drives a 10GB and a 40GB. How should I partion them? In FDISK I noticed options for DOS, Non-Dos, and logical, I am not sure which to use for the second hard drive.

I had a Gate Way computer donated to my day care that was set up for Windows 98. When I turn it on it has a blank screen gives me the error message operating system not found. I have a newer computer that does not have a floppy disk drive, how can I get a copy of a floppy disk or a cd to boot...

hope there is some help out there. I have a computer that ran windows 98 SE. My kid got a virus on it, so bad, that it could not boot up. (Of course she did not say anything and kept trying to reboot so I can not turn the system back to the last clean boot). I removed the hard drive and did...

Does anyone know how to get a Key Code if you lost the certificate?

Hi to all. After 11 years of using my WIN 98SE finally got me a new computer. I want to either donate or just give away the old one. Should I reformat the HD? If so, how's the best way to do it? (never done it) TIA J.R.

I attempted to install an ADAPTEC 2930 SCSI card and a second CD-RW drive. After installing the SCSI drive and restarting, I received a blue screen indicating that there was incompatible hardware and that the system would restart in compatibility mode the next time. It apparently did, and does...

I'm trying to email a Microsoft Professional about my win98 explorer.exe problem and it says that I require my Product ID.

Am unable to start Win98, even in Safe Mode. When attempting a normal start, system freezes with varying portions of error message displayed. The most that appears is "While initializing device VKD: Windows protection error. You" No success trying different keyboard. System does not always go...

I tried what you said and it didn't work. I still get the message that windows can't be installed because there is not enough extended memory. Any other suggestions?

I have several different problems going on with W98SE. I have decided that it's probably easier to re-install Windows than to chase all the problems. Is it possible to re-install Windows and my other software without re-formatting (I don't want to have to back-up all my data files)? Windows is...

The other night I had to use my Windows 98 startup disk to get the computer running again. After I did this the A drive would not read any more diskettes! Instead Windows then would ask to format the A diskette. I haven't been able to use my A drive ever since. Does anyone know how to fix this...

At first, Win98 boot disk, following fdisk and format, could not find and load the driver for CDROM. Got some really valid/valued advice from Ben Myers who instructed me to obtain a W95b floppy and boot from it followed by a set of DOS commands. Voila! could now install Win98 from the "R"...

I've got a machine I want to take from Windows 98 to Windows 98 SE. I got the Windows 98 SE update CD to do this. When I try to run setup, after the scandisk portion I get the dreaded SU991010 error. Setup itself suggests trying the install from a command prompt, but of course you can't do that...

Yep, I still use plain IE5 as it came with 98SE. (Not my browser of first choice, but some sites seem to dislike Nutscrape). Of late, after shutting down IE, an error msg box appears anything from 10 secs to several minutes later. "iexplore.exe has ...". If I try to shutdown the pooter after...

I am trying to upgrade my windows 98 to 98 second edition but every time I try it says that I have the wrong disk. I have a brand new win 98se installation disk. can anybody help

Help. I have an older Compaq ProSignia 150 running WIN98. For no apparent reason, it just started hanging on startup. I've probably made things worse by now, but have dumped all caches, deleted temp files, temp. internet files, run scan disk, defragged, and booted in safe mode more times than I can...

Whenever I boot WIN 98SE, I receive error message "An error occurred while Windows was working with the Control Panel file C:\Windsows\System\Main.cpl" I can click OK & all seems to work well- until I try to use the scanner (USB) when the error pops up again. After hitting OK about 8 times, the...
