Hi, I'm giving my sister a Win98SE laptop (new in 2000). Her first computer. She lives in another state. I just committed over a week of my time customizing/tweaking the GUI, installing hardware, software, etc. I kept meticulous installation notes, BUT if she needs to 'start over', rather than...

Maybe not exactly the right NG for this but......close. I did a disk format and restored via DOS, W98se using Ghost2003. Many of the files were written back w/ the R (ReadOnly) bit set. Windows boots OK, some apps have no problems, others won't run. The question is how to easily reset the R bit to...

Only close to the correct NG for this but...... I did a format and reinstall using Ghost2003. W98se runs OK and some apps run fine, others won't run. Most of the files were restored with the R (REadOnly) bit set. Now it's a windows or DOS maneuver to restore the archive bit to essentially a whole...

I;m trying to install Windows 98 SE on a Dell Dimension XPS R350. I've got a new OEM version of the software (unused and sealed).

Hi, Anyone know if there is a patch/utility available for fixing the new DST on Windows 98? Thanks

My HP Desktop came with an OEM Windows 98 installed. It crashed so I used the CD to restore the system to its original configuration. Now it is asking for the Windows 98 product key code before it will activate it; but I have none. The computer now gives two choices. Enter the product key code...

We have a Sony DSC-P71 camera that was working previously w/ Windows 98 via a USB cable to download images.

We had a gateway computer that came installed with win98. Recently, we found a CD labeled "Second Edition" and installed that. During the installation, it asked if we wanted to keep a "backup" which would take "up to 110 MB" and we chose yes. How do we now delete that backup so that we can use...
