We use 98 for our business computer, along with a TCP IP emulation to get to our Unix server. If we are inactive for a few minutes, we need to log in again. However, using XP at home, this is not the case at all. Is there a time out feature in 98 that can be turned off. I already have disabled...

I've got a problem with a Windows98SE system that had it's Windows directory restored from backup. I'm seeing problems that I think are consistent with a missing ActiveX control.

Hello, I've found two instances of "Iexplorer" when I was trying to shut down a program that wasn't responding. I've tried to close one, and then the other, and I can't seem to close either of them... This seems to be 'not good' in my estimation as there shouldn't be anything running. I've...
