I got this computer used and dont know the owners, First of all. It has Win 98 installed on it, and I bought the Wind XP to upgrade it . When I went to do this it said it wont go over the Win98 program to uninstall. I cannot find uninstalling Win98 Anywhere on my computer. I've checked all...

I went on a pruning binge in the Win98SE Start Menu folder in an effort to lessen the number of programs that start with the OS bootup. I went too far by deleting the "Accessories" folder with its arrows pointing to Games, Communications etc. Where can I locate this folder so I can copy it back to...

Recently I decided to try out an unofficial service pack that transorms Windows 98 into a very modern looking operating system. It works pretty good with a few minor bugs, such as Nero Express 5 not giving me an MP3 preview of the songs I select in a playlist and some other program functions...

I am trying to install a new 98SE wallpaper from the folder C:\Windows \Resources, to where I extracted 2 folders with a new wallpaper in each. The instructions were to click on the registry icon in the folder to install the registry entry into the registry which was successful. However, when I go...

A mouse click in my windows shell program caused a new toolbar in Desktop, "My Computer", across the top of the screen. I've used this shell for 4 years, the problem is in windows, not caused by the shell program. I have a My Computer icon already on Desktop. How to remove this new, unwanted...

I have an IBM ThinkPad A20m running W98SE which has been working just fine since I got it in 2000. We took it with us in or motor home for a 4-month trip from which we recently returned. The computer was well-cushioned in a bag in one of our cabinets. We didn't actually use it on the trip, so...

It's beginning increasingly apparent that I will not be about to keep up with the "deluge" of 98 trials and tribulations for much longer. I first cut "my teeth" here, and the great part of so many of you originals are still around--(Don't nobody croak anymore" ;- I do know Alex will be...

I was recently reading posts on the msfn.org and read a few things that I thought this community might know about (maybe there are some people from here who go there also). The first thing was that Windows 98 SE will soon be "dead" to the internet. It will no longer be able to connect to...

As per another thread, I stated that I do not use an antivirus software. For about three months now, things have been good. However, with all the good advice I was given in relation to the said topic, I have decided that perhaps I should reinstall an AV program again. I used to use AVG. But...

I have a WMV file which is 632MB. I am trying to copy it to a CD but the cd is only 700MB and when you format the disk I am left with only 571MB of free space. Does anybody have any suggestions what I can do? Sol

A few questions (now that I've used this forum a few times, I'll get hooked!) If I want to install a sound card and video card, do I need to disable sound and video from the BIOS settings? I've blown the on board sound card in my computer. Heard a pop and no longer have sound. Video still...

just finished eml files extraction from the damaged DBX file, have extracted near 1860 eml files, placed in separate folder. Some problem appear: my Windows Explorer freezes when I doing anything with files: open file or folder, when I right click on file, etc. Looks like memory leak, reducing...

Does anyone have this printer working with Windows 98? Website says XP and Vista, but how many ever say 98 anymore? Site also says USB 2.0 recommended, would I have to get an add in card? I currently do not have USB enabled as I have not needed it for anything yet. Thanks

Recently, occasionally, when I click on "Start" "ShutDown" then "Restart", rather than restart the Win98 shutdown splash screen appears, then locks, then I have to press the physical "Restart" button on my computer which inevitably makes Scan Disk appear, have to wait for it to scan my "C" drive,...

Just thought I'd post my findings on how to change the settings with webview in relation to My Computer, Recycle Bin, and Control Panel. If anyone's interested, I (a person of limited HTML knowledge) found it quite easy, so you probably would too! First of all, all the files that need...

Anyone using a Belkin wireless-g router with your Win98se? And if so, any problems? I plan on going broadband and have found a Belkin router (802.11g) with ver. 7000 software that according to specs on the box supports 98se and XP. I will probably use an ethernet card and hard wire the 98se and...
