Display adapter failes despite being correctly installed. by
Lostgallifreyan
Any ideas about this one?
What happens is that the manual install appears to work, but on rebooting,
the display settings dialog shows and defaults to 16 colour 640*480 VGA.
Nothing shifts this, yet according to the driver details in the device
manager, it's installed properly. Bootlog.txt also...

SciTech sold the source code for all their cross-platform drivers, and this...

Does anyone know of a downloadable self-contained copy of the Windows 98
Resource Kit complete with any tools, etc, that came as part of it? I think
it might have been a CD once, but the pages I'm finding are archived on MS
Technet servers and are full of HTML and CSS frills that make reliable...

FireFox and "Stop Script" Nuisance by

I use FireFox V2.0.0.17 on my Win98se computers. I have Java Script
enabled, but "Java" unchecked. I did not change, via "Advance", the

Antidote to knowing too much. :) by
Lostgallifreyan
Works for me:
In any 'details view' in any Explorer window, click on some file, then hold
CTRL and press the + key on the numeric keypad. I can't count the number of
times I needed this per DAY, or the number of years I remained in ignorance.

FireFox and "Stop Script" Nuisance by
[email protected]
Hi 98 Guy,
I downloaded version 2.0.0.20 and installed it after I "removed" the
earlier version. Thanks for the download link.
Changing "10" (sec) to "1" will probably cause more "Stop Script"s to
occur due to running out of time quicker if a script is slow in responding.
Note: I am...

Mousekeys alternatives? by

My battered optical mouse finally quit (is why I write so much right now, it

I put in MouseKeys but although I like the speed/acceleration/direction

Lately I've been getting some nice old machines to work on.

Hi,
Thanks to everyone who responded.
I got hold of a HP Pavilion N3390. Although it doesn't have the same
HDD holder, it has the same connector. Using that connector, I am now
able to boot up using a spare HDD. I will use a utility to check the
CD/DVD drive, etc. on this laptop.
