I have a problem. No icons are displayed, for example tray icons, desktop icons, quick launch or Internet Explorer navigation icons.

The Tray Time comes up in error after booting up. This occurs after the computer has been off say 6 or 7 hours. No AC Power is applied to the computer during off time. After reseting to the correct time and rebooting it always comes up ok. Seems I read someplace this might indicate a weak BIOS...

I have various Windows GUI schemes for this computer saved and listed in the Properties selection of the desktop context menu (under Appearance). I want to transfer them to a friend's computer running Windows 2000. Is there a file or files where this information is contained in 98 that I can copy...

When i'm in safe mode any program that is in the toolbar with the windows clock etc. cannot be seen, is it possible to view these somehow as i need one that automatically minimises into it without another way to access it. thanks

OK, I think it's mostly finished. All I need are a few guinea pigs, web page proofers, etc. The files I am offering work for ALL legacy Windows systems, 95 through 2000 (XP and 2003 are the only ones MS provides updates for, and the info is already in Vista.) The only system I haven't tested...

Last night I tried to post here but it never got through. Perhaps it was a higher power saving me from myself, which in a just world would happen more often, but in case it wasn't, I'm wondering what the problem could be, since the Sent box and the Deleted box were empty (the usual cause of my...

I read that share.exe was eliminated from Win98 because of compatibility issues. Has anyone been able to share a drive on a network from "MS-DOS Mode" (the exit to dos window) ? If so how ? -- Wesley

Did a clean install of Windows 98se. Hooked up an internet cable modem. When I hit the internet explorer icon, I get the MSN internet access setup and I go through steps but it never finds or shakes hands with the modem. All these steps are for telephone modems. The computer shows my modem. I am...

I have a few users that after they ctrl/alt/del at night and log off, when they come in the morning, and log in all they get is a blank desktop. I have tried: -Starting Explorer.exe from task manager: this gets it working, but happens again the next morning. -Renamed existing profile ".old" and...

This note mainly for PCR (finally in its own thread): If you do decide to get the Vantec NexStar USB 2.0 Hard Disk Enclosure, PCR, just be very careful when you take it apart and put it back into its case with the hard drive, as some of the comments have said (on the Amazon site (for example),...

On about 1/18/2007, I updated McAfee's definitions to... 4.0.4939. Can that be the last I'll ever get? Ever since then, I just get the message that I'm fully up-to-date! -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue,

When i turn on my computer normally, it restarts when it has finished loading. I have been told that it might be a power problem but as it happens at the same point each time, and it works in other modes (safe mode, MS-DOS, etc.), i thought that it might be the auto reset feature thing in...

Over the years I saved about 5 different versions of Tweakui, I just installed one in my new W98SE installation and it is very limited in features. What is the best version to use in W98SE and a URL? TIA ms

I've been having a constant problem getting my computer to start up properly - when its the first boot of the day. Basically it stalls. Usually this will be just after the windows 98 'welcome' screen has shown itself. At this point my restart button no longer functions. I have to turn it off by the...

I know MS doesn't support Win 98 anymore, so there's no patch available to download for the DST change on March 11. We still have many Win 98 workstations on our network. Is there a way to patch them, and if so, what's the the quickest way? TZedit.exe is a 32-bit app and won't run on Win 98.

Hi, On 2/16/07 I ran the Avast! quick scan on C drive. It found a virus and recommended to move it to chest. I did this. I checked the Chest and found it was: Postcard.exe # 609039809 Original location...
