I got this PC to finally get going when I plugged everything back in. I didn't even use the power button, I just plugged the power cord back into the back panel and whammo! It started, but nothing came up on the monitor screen and the power supply fan didn't turn, and yes I did plug the little 3...

I currently dual-boot with 98 Second Edition and Windows XP Professional. I use AVG and I have discovered that AVG 8 will not support Windows 98 SE and support for AVG 7.5 is currently slated to end at the end of May. Can someone suggest a good antivirus program that works with Windows 98 SE...

I'm thinking now, to buy a new mobo/CPU combo from newegg.com. I think I can get one for under 60 bucks. It looks like I might have messed up this old mobo with ESD. I do have the wrist strap to prevent ESD, but usually I just touch the power supply every so often when I'm working on a PC. This...

To improve the sluggishness of WinXP I bought an AMD Athlon dual core machine with 2 Gb RAM and 512 Mb video and wanted to install a 98SE/XP dual boot system. 1th disappointment: swapping drives C and D isn't offered by the Award BIOS anymore, so I'll need a boot manager (I thought). But soon a new...

I formatted my slave hard drive and did a quick format (erase), instead of a complete format. I wanted to put another operating system on the hard drive and now I'm having problems loading it up. It says: Invalid system disk, replace the disk and press any key. I tried to get into BIOS but this...

I'd like to know how to start up my PC without the front panel power button assembly because my PC won't start or fire up. Nothing happens when I hit the power button. The power supply works, so I figure it might be the power button assembly that's the problem. I'm using a process of elimination...

I recently got a DVD/CD drive that worked perfectly fine... for a while. I used it for some time and then one night we rented a movie (Finding Neverland) and watched it on our TV's DVD player.

I'm looking for a complete set of the system sound files that came with Windows 98 (startup, shutdown, etc.) I know this a tall order, but would anyone mind emailing these WAV files to me? It's easy enough to do. The files can be found in the control panel sounds. Just copy and paste them to a...

I'm having problems starting up my PC at all. I think a wire is loose on the power button assembly. The power supply works, because I tried on another PC and it booted up. Isn't there a way to start your PC by touching 2 points on the motherboard? I took a PC class a while back and my teacher...

Just installed IBM's bluetooth stack on a laptop. Was sooo glad! Started to do the traditional 'cleanup' of an install and found the 'My Bluetooth Places' icon on the desktop will not allow me to delete it. Tweakui does not show it on the 'desktop' tab for icons. I figure it must be a registry...
