Can't type in Command prompt by Sue
A couple of days ago my brother was browsing the net. He then shut down as normal. Yesterday he attempted to boot up and couldn't get past the blue Windows 98 screen. I suggested he type scanreg/restore at the prompt in the startup menu, but he can't type a thing. As far as he knows, his keyboard...

Thanks Ron by Sue
I mailed a startup disk to my brother today. He'll probably receive it Saturday. He has a wired keyboard that is fine. Do you think he'll be able to use the keyboard once he uses the startup disk? Thanks again Ron, Sue

Win98 and RAID by Travis Swift
If I use two IDE harddrives and utilise my motherboards IDE Raid 0 striping, will Windows 98/SE benefit, since it's being done by the hardware? Because apparently Win98/SE doesn't support RAID. Secondly, what performance boost would I get if I were, say, to upgrade from a 7200rpm UltraDMA/33...

Slow responding mouse by Jim
I am currently having a probelm with my mouse lagging behind in movement. Also the same is true of keyboard entries, it seems to lag a few character behind, unless I type very slowly and methodically. Any suggestions?
