After shifting my two PC's with Win XP SP3 Home Edition to an office nearby, I am left with a HP Pavilion pre-loaded with Win 98SE. I formatted the hard disk and reinstalled the OS using the Recovery CD. With assistance from Robear Dyer, I managed to upgrade I.E. from 5.0 to 6.0! I have a...

I am running Win98SE on partition c: and WinXP Pro on partition e: From the boot loader, when win98se is selected, I get an error from "shell" about not finding krnl32.exe. I believe I had a virus and have cleaned my machine from several sources. Luckily I have WinXP to do all this. I also have...

In my Windows 98 Desktop with IE6, over the last few days I've had a problem I never had before. It takes one to three minutes, sometimes longer just to load each web page. Everything else is normal. I send and receive e-mail normally. But it takes forever to load each web page. Also, when...

Does anybody else have problems in IE with this site? It seems to crash IE on my computer (but works fine in Firefox): http://www.webmd.com

In OE 6, Windows 98, the entire contents of the Inbox just vanished after restarting computer. There were about 4 weeks of e-mail in there. Other folders do not seem to be affected. I looked in the Outlook Express folder on my hard drive, and the Inbox file at this...

Oh well couple of days late responding. Just curious Bill,I was about to undertake a EE, and got married instead. Obviously long-range plans aren't my forte. Just kidding, I have the utmost respect and admiration for women. What was your main area of discipline? I used to be quite a ham...

Hi guys, My computer has just done the oddest thing(s). While in n/g it just froze; wouldnt let me ctrl+alt+del either. Since then I have re-booted and run all obvious adaware and virus scans etc. I went to defrag too and it really spat the dummy there. First it sort of stopped then the screen...

....all the time or is it just me?

A new thread to follow up on the “What is going on� thread posted 3/2/2005. Because of my clumsy ways of copying and pasting , I managed to mess up the contents of that thread enough to make it difficult to follow. My apologies to V S Rawat, Gary S. Terhune and any other who might have been...

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion contains the finest brains of all the NG's. That is fact. There's several brilliant people in news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general though, I think most of them come from, and inhabit the win98 NG !! I use...

Hi everyone, I am still getting on shut down: Nothing on desktop except Clouds (Desktop), no icons, and a White oblong box with the message: Systray (at the left hand corner) Message in box: An error has occurred in your program. To keep working anyway, click Ignore and save work to a new file....

There seems to be a log file called optlog.txt that is created after you defrag your hard drive. I have read that defragging optimizes your most used programs and sort of puts them where they can be accessed quicker that least used files. In my Win98 system, there are 50 maximum programs allowed...

I bought a brand spanking new PC last week, which came installed with Windows XP. I've been running 98 for the last few years and was happy with it, but some software I use will reportedly no longer run under Win98 in its next version. The problem is the system has now crashed and for reasons I...

I am not a computer technical person, but I am trying to get rid of a Trojan virus thing which has appeared on my PC, which is an HP Pavilion, new in 2000, 650MHz Athlon processor, using Windows 98SE and IE6. It is called "StartPage-DU.dll" and keeps causing my antivirus software (Regularly...

Didn't want to resurect a dead thread - haven't read the group in a few days, but want to know about Longhorn. I'm still using my trusty Win98 at home and it still has plenty of life left in it (I seriously wonder if that 5% of internet users number is correct). When I looked up Longhorn...

Apologies for being OT, but that may not always be the case. Three of my favorite groups now are 70-80% spam, so it's difficult to see what the real chatter is. Everybody on these sites don't seem to mind because they set a filter in their browser. I can't. It sometimes takes three pages of...
