So I reinstalled the "System Tools" option from the windows second edition CD and everything seemed to go smoothly. At the very end, I saw some error "..rundll32", but I had seen such errors earlier and they were automatically fixed upon restarting, so I did not think much of it.. I went ahead...

I've just built a computer for my grandson using a good MB (MSI K8N Neo V2.0). Everything is fine apart from the USB Ports.

Hi I'd like to install W98, with a clean install - i.e. format the hard-disk, then do a full install. Reason for this is that there's an existing installation of ME, which is either a complete pile of guano as an OS (as many people have said), or is just so overloaded with registry entries/broken...

Last week I fooled with my LinkSys LNE100 network card. Now WIN98 (1st edition) boots very slow.

I reinstalled the network card drivers several times, did updated NAV scans, spyware checks...

My old Windows 98 laptop mentioned in my previous message fails to recognise my USB stick. I found the driver at manufacturer's website (http://cnmemory.com), but the driver installation process (I tried different options) keeps going round in circles. Is this a general problem with USB sticks...
