Long filename error by Axel Berger
Scandisk for DOS, when started automatically on booting, reports a long filename error on the system partition and tells me to run Scandisk in Windows. The latter tells me no errors found. I wouldn't mind, but Scandisk stops at the error and waits for a key to be pressed. This means I can't go and...

Devices disappearing. by Sjouke Burry[_3_]
Last week I got the torrent with the 700MB w98 "SP3", and installed it on an old P3 800mhz machine. Was able to get the drivers for the screen and soundcard, by googling for ME drivers. Everything worked fine, including internet. Then this morning the ethernet card sort of disappeared. Only after...

"98 Lite" by [email protected]
Hi, Some posts in this NG mentioned "98 Lite". From the name, my impression is this is a stripped down version of Windows 98. Is it more compact than a "Custom" install of Win98se? Thank You in advance, John

How to save 'special' google home page images? by Robert Macy[_2_]
Today, google put up a special, seasonal Thanksgiving image. When it's a simple jpg or gif, right click and save the image, but today the image is animated and won't save using that technique. Any ideas on how to save the 'animated' image?

Need software to compare pictures to find duplicates by [email protected]
Hi, One program I know of is "FC-WILD5.ZIP" (freeware). This program reports which files are the same, but doesn't care about their filenames. Note: Although this is a DOS program, you can use it at Command Prompt in WinXP, or Dos Prompt in...

check or scan _without_ retesting sectors? by J. P. Gilliver (John)
ISTR the old DOS-mode surface scan utility - the one that used character mode, and drew a screenful of blocks, with each block representing a sector or a number of sectors (it told you how many), with some of them shown as B if it contained any bad sectors - did not, by default at least, retest...

Need software to compare pictures to find duplicates by [email protected]
Need software to compare pictures to find duplicates. I have about 800 wallpaper pictures that I collected from different sites. When I view them I occasionally see the same picture twice. I know there are some duplicates, because different sites change the names of them. Aside from manually...

Blank app name in "open with ..." list by who where[_2_]
From somewhere at some time in the past (I don't use this all that often) a new entry has appeared at the top of the app-list in the "open with ..." selection box. It has the generic .exe icon (white box with blue title bar at the top) and a blank name. If I select say a .txt file on the desktop...

"INSTMSIA.EXE" Details by [email protected]
Hi 98 Guy, I am sorry for not making myself clear. The "EchoLink" I recently download can be installed on a WinXP as it is, but in order to install it on a Win98 computer, I have to first use "INSTMSIA.EXE" (Win98 Installer). This "installer" provides what is needed to install...

1. how to get rid of "suspend" 2. a GREAT utility (no, not for IE) by thanatoid
1. I was playing around with my Win95B machine and I saw there is no more-than-useless "suspend" item on the stupid start menu. I can't remember how I got rid of it, I can't figure out how to do it, so I can't get rid of it on my 98SEL machine. Does anyone know how? 2.

Phantom boxes on the tool bar by [email protected]
Why do I get these Phantom boxes on the tool bar? For example, I dont use a screen saver, but apparently my monitor has one built in and it blanks out if I'm not on the puter. Then there is a box in the toolbar that says "screen saver". Later I will find this box with these words, or just a blank...

Hi, I have always used Dial Up, and on Nov 4 my DSL service begins. I have learned a lot from this NG, and I still have more to learn. With Dial Up, when I "disconnected", I knew my Win98 computer no longer had a "gateway" to the Internet. Note: I will be using Verizon's DSL...

Hi, I have learned a great deal from this Win98 NG, but there is more I want to know. Everything went very well with the transition from Dial-Up to Verzon's DSL service on Nov 4th. I have a Westell 7500 DSL modem/router from Verizon.
