Temp Internet Files Still Funky
My problems are getting worse. I cannot change the
settings for the temp internet file size; I get the "Enter value between 1 or 0" message, no matter where I set the file size it keeps repeating. I have two locations for temp internet files, one in Windows, one in Windows temp. I cannot move the one from Win Temp it generates an error that there "won't be enough space in the new location...delete these files' etc. The only thing in either file location is a 3mb index.dat. I now cannot download files and save them. My only choice of format to save pics is the .bmp, not jpg. Tried reloaded Win98 SE and running the newest AVG software. Should I start from scratch and load Win 98 then do the Win 98SE upgrade. Smash the computer? Buy an Apple? This all may have started with me deleting files from the Win/temp/temporary internet folder. This was the only folder that ever had files in it. The Windows folder never had any files in it's temporary internet folder. How can I get the Win/temporary internet folder restored and used as the primary temproary folder? I really need some help here. |

Delete both the index.dat files from DOS--it will recreate after booting. I
told you yesterday how to change the location of the folder. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Wray" wrote in message ...
