upgrade probs
A friend has just upgraded his OS from win98 to win98se and has encountered
a couple of problems. 1. When he does a shutdown the pc re-boots. 2. The Windows tour page continually appears even after unchecking the 'dont show this again box' 3. He has the 'welcome to windows' message to enter a username and password which isnt needed - he wants to remove it. Any help would be much appreciated. Joe |

1. IIRC for the first problem you need to disable Fast Shutdowns. Do this
by Start Run type MSCONFIG Advanced Tick the Disable fast shutdown option. 2. Try checking the box. 3. Assuming a name and password has already been input you will need to locate the .PWL file in the Windows directory then either rename it to .old or something similar or just delete it. Then reboot the PC. It will on this boot still ask for the user name and password. Type in a user name but do not even click the password box just click OK. On the next boot you should not be asked for a username or password. HTH Zippy "Joe Rogers" wrote in message . uk...
