I hope this is the right group to post this to. Does anyone know why the .WMV files load so slowly in media player ( win98 and WMP 7.1)? It takes about 1 minute to load and start playing, could it be some codec I need? I use irfanview to run mpg and other files and they load and run in about 1...

When I boot up my system resources stand at 70% after I run anything it gets down into the low 60's eventhough I closed the application. As it gets lower the system gets slow and eventually hangs. I have a PIII-600 with 256meg ram. I don't do anything fancy, just small spreadsheets or word...

I use to have the "New" and "Find" selections available in the Windows Explorer's right-click menu. Today, suddenly the are gone. I have tried re-booting, still gone. Does anybody know how to restore these menu items. Thank you. ------------------ Pegboy

Under IEToolsConnections, the setting of "Always Dial my default connection" keeps changing to "Never dial....". This happens several times a day. Any ideas why? FACE

Hi, I have a muti-media CD (data and music) that I used to access in 95 but not anymore in 98! I'd like to see the video data that was on the disk but 98 keeps calling it a audio CD. What can I do, thanks.

I think I have a virus but I've never seen anything like it. My screen has flashing verticle lines and I can hardly see the screen. I used GoBack to try to revert the drive and it didn't help. I can't even get a boot disk to work because I can't see past the lines. I tried re-seating my video...

Does anyone know where I can read up on the differences on these 2 OS'es? I couldn't find it on Microsoft.com. I would like to upgrade my Win98 to Win98SE, but don't have the 'upgrade' disk (but I do have the full win98SE disk). Would using the full disk wipe out all my previous settings and...

If you're running Win 98, and have recently (within the past week) gone to Windows Updates and updated your computer, you almost certainly now have the file "KB891711.EXE" running in the background. How can I determine whether it runs in the background on my system or not? Will it show...

I bought a used computer running Win98 and I added a network card to use to connect the computer to my DSL connection. I went in to assign a static Tcp-ip address and the box opened up but there was no cursor a nd it wouldn't accept any numbers or letters that I typed in - almost like it was...

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. When turning on the computer it goes almost through the boot process, but right after the win98 screen comes up for...

Sorry but wasn't quite sure which forum to put this in or how to explain what I needed to know, but I do know that it is a registry issue. I bought a used computer running Win98 and I added a network card to use to connect the computer to my DSL connection. I went in to assign a static Tcp-ip...
