After horrendous problems with BSODs and other problems I decided to instal W98 Second Edition on a fresh partition so that I could get to my XP PRO system to copy it (doesn't work as W98 doesn't recognise NTFS). (I will probably get round this with Partition Magic recovery disks). However among...

I have just upgraded an old P2 64mb RAM W98 system to 98SE. The installation software checked the system, I accepted the system settings backup option in case I need to revert to plain 98, and the installation proceeded normally. On first reboot however, Windows would not load, freezing in a DOS...

I installed the chip set and downloaded the drivers that i was asked to by the HP Sucpport said to do and still does not work its a BRAND NEW OUT OF THE BOX dc7600 ,, GO FIGURE

I have a Compaq Presario laptop that is at least 7 years old but has always worked fine. After doing a Windows Update (security) & re-booting it will only boot in Safe Mode. I have de-fragged & re-booted several times, all with the same result. It will only come up in Safe Mode. Any ideas, please?

I got hold of an old ATT PC awhile back with WIN98 installed so I could have something to fool around with as a second PC. I managed to mess it up royally to where, when turned on it will now only show a text screen that goes to "Press F2 to enter SETUP", pauses, then goes as far as "BIOS...

my hd died and warranty repair replaced the harddrive and reloaded the factory software. I installed my usb harddrives and then tried backup in system tools. says sees no devices yet device mgr. sees them and I can write to the usb devices. I uninstalled backup and rebooted and reinstalled...

I found the following thread and several others that were similar after doing a google groups search. They all referred to a scsi udma problem. We did have a scsi adapter card installed in an isa slot, which I have now removed. This didn't solve the problem. I was thinking of reinstalling windows...

My child's computer had 2 harddrives. The main one went bad. And all that would come up is "operating system not found". I made the 2nd harddrive the master and disconnected the other one. In the bios setup it does acknowledge the harddrive and all other hardware. But now it still won't boot, it...

wrote: My computer runs on Windows 98SE, with 1GB of RAM. The memory usage, after startup and everything else, but before I launch any program, can differ up to 240MB ! Sometimes Windows 98SE only uses less than 6% of the total memory, leaving me up to 94% (or...

I am using Win98SE system. Had trouble with the older MSI motherboard, so the tech shop just replaced the motherboard with an ASUS P4P800-E motherboard. Here is the problem - I still have some old DOS programs that need to use the MSDos command prompt. So to activate MSDos, as I click on...

First, why do you find it necessary to crosspost to so many groups? Second, how are you measuring the amount of memory in use? Where are you seeing these percentages? Third, since unused memory is wasted memory, why are you concerned? ;-) Memory usage will vary with each boot, even with the same...

Hi All Friends of family bought latest Belkin wireless router and Belkin USB wireless dongle for their Win98 machine and thought it could link up. I was sceptical that the Belkin USB dongle would work under Win98 and even though the box says it can the documentation inside says it is...

when you go start--programs you get a long list that requires scrolling. is there a way to get it in multiple columns like 95 or xp has?

Hi All I know this might sound a weird query, but I've never had to do it. Friends of family have Win98 machine, but its the 1st edition not the 2nd. Wondered if it was possible to download Win98 SE as a sort of update and basically run it to apply it. Can it be that easy?

For systems exceeding 512MB, you should add this line to the section of system.ini: MaxFileCache=512000 That is normally the only setting you need if you have installed up to 1GB of RAM, in Win98/98SE. Your mention of adding MaxPhysPage=40000 to the section of the System.ini file should not...
