Problem with Win98.....
Hi All.....the following message was posted to me on a non MS news
group. I wondered if any of you could help because I absolutely cannot remember how to access the MS news groups in toto.....or as a newbie......the link one clicks on to get to the MS news groups. Any thoughts?? Or a link?? I guess I could post it to one of the 98 groups. Tks.....Heather --------------------------------- Heather, I've got a problem. Started a week or so again. Win 98 On boot, error messages, Occurred in this sequence. Missing or corrupted display.sys c:\windows\command Missing or corrupted system.dat c:\windows\command they each happened several times, but I managed to get it to boot by turning off, then back on, each time. This a.m. Missing or corrupted config.sys c:\windows\command Edit line 1 and 2 I have 3 config.sys files in various locations. The most recent is dated 2005 inc:\windows\command There's only 2 lines in them. I don't know what to edit??? My gut says that area of the hard drive is corrupted, but not sure. If I rename the file, then make a copy with correct name, will the new one go back to the corrupted area? or somewhere else I should be looking at config.sys? J |

Corday.....if YOU don't use Usenet news groups, how in hell do you think
you can tell me how to get to them? Or words to that effect. You are reading this via IE on the MS website......which is NOT the place for an experienced person to use. Now go away!!

Problem with Win98.....
Sometime in the late 70s I changed my OS from CPM to DOS. I stopped using the
BBB and discovered something that a couple of college kids “invented” called Newsgroups. What an amazing find! -- I mastered Wordstar graphics!

I'm not really sure what you're asking for but... This is the link for a newbie to set up Microsoft newsgroups in Outlook Express with just one click: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...dowsme.general Or maybe it's this: http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx If these aren't what you mean, please explain!!!
