What is mmtask? by J. P. Gilliver
Recently, I tried to load some software (image and video viewer, I think) from an old (pre-98 I think) CD. It seemed to screw things up pretty well, so I went back to an ERD which I had saved not long before. Now most things work OK, but I get three or four errors during boot. They are quite an...

Win 98 won't start by [email protected]
This happened a few months ago and I fixed it, but don't remember what I did. I thought I had picked a registry to load from an earlier date, but that does not make sense to me now.
