And my 5 year old 120 Gb HD is failing, so I bought one of those nice fast Seagate sata2 320Gb barracuda. Should I re-frase the subject line to: "I use linux" ? Or is there some hope ? I remember when I used windows 95 2Gb was a big problem, but I solved that with a bios and fdisk update. TIA

I frequent these NG's a lot and still cannot figure out why they changed how posts are listed and how active topics are dealt with. I see on the right side is the supposed improvement listing active older topics. I see in here, 3 topics that are spam and only have 1 author and no replies. How...

Just bought this clunker laptop so my mom can run her nutrition program on it. THe program links to the calendar, and keeps track of what you eat every day. Unfortunately, the calendar for the system is messed up, and I don't have any discs or anything to fix it. I reset the date, then the...

Just replaced the cmos battery, but still get this message, (and the clock/date still doesn't work properly, I really need it to). "Calendar can't find one or more of the files it needs to run. Run the calendar set up program again to install the missing files..." my problem: I don't have any...

Is it possible to make Win98SE interpret system clock as UTC (not local)? If so, how? The registry change (below) did not work. =================================================================== REGEDIT4

Everything is fine. Then the images on web pages stop downloading. Everything else downloads, but no images. When I reboot, I get a warning of a program not responding. No name on the program. After reboot, everything is fine for a while and it happens again. Any ideas?

I have Win98 SE, IE6 and OE6. My desktop icons, except Network Neighborhood, Internet Explorer, and Recycle Bin, have suddenly gone missing from my desktop and SCANREG /RESTORE does not restore them. Any ideas please. Regards, Emrys Davies.

My Internet Explorer kept clinging, so I have Dr. Watson running in the background. Now Dr. Watson gives me various messages associated with OLEAUT32.DLL. The last message read "OLEAUT32.DLL attempted to use a null data pointer variable." I'm not sure what that means, but I do know that my...

On my one system that has 98se on it when I use a pic for wallpaper that is in portrait size (Taller then wide) Windows stretches the width so it fills the whle screen but the height stays the same. My second system which also has 98se shows it in portrait size with blank space on side of it. How...

I think it was Windows 98 that had a wallpaper file of a blue window in an adobe house, with various dried plants around it. Does anyone have a copy of that .bmp they can send to me at ? Thanks.

When you hold down the Shift key and r-click a highlighted file in Explorer, or when you launch a file type for which there is no association, you are presented with an "Open with" pick-list. This list appears to be generated from the active file associations at the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry key....

Having seen Script Sentry mentioned here, I checked into it. It seems like a good alternative to what I have done - removing most of the scripting files from win\sys (with NO ill effects whatsoever I might add). But I did that before I even knew what a firewall etc. was, and anyway, firewalls...

I use Winpatrol, and it kept showing a warning that Script Sentry wanted to open reg extensions. I selected No. I uninstalled Script Sentry, no help, deleted all files on the drive for Script Sentry, no help. I ran RegSeeker, cleaned all "safe" entries, and searched for SS, no entries. I...
