About a month ago, I turned on my Windows 98/XP desktop machine, for the first time in ages (possibly a couple of years). The mouse lit up, as did the power and other (disc access?) LED, and fans started - then they went out again. Then they came on again - then they went off again. They do...

(I'm using Windows 7, but have included the other two 'groups for reasons that will become evident!) I was explaining about MIDI (musical) keyboards to a friend, when I remembered I had one, that I'd hardly used. I dug it out - it's still in its box, even with its original plastic bag - 3...

How do I open the case on a Gateway MFATXNIN ESX E4000 computer? There are no screws anywhere, just a middle section with 2 plastic ends.

I only want to read files with the drive. This is on a newer Dell laptop. I am booting up a FAT12 image of a Win ME DOS system. It is IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, COMMAND.COM with various DOS commands on it. I have MSCDEX.EXE from Win ME. The DVD drive is: HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GU90N. I need a driver for...

Windows 98 is now 21 years old. That means it's an ADULT and is able to drink in all 50 states. If you are still running Win98, put a bottle of whisky inside the case.

Hello all, I just created a 5 GByte bootable FAT32 partition and formatted it using the /s option (to transfer the systemfiles to it). However, when I than restart there just is a delay of about 10 seconds, after which it reboots. The odd thing is that booting from a FAT16 thumbdrive and than...

What is the last version of Thunderbird that can be used in Win98se? I have ver. 2.0.0.24. I have been using that for decades and never had a need to upgrade. It does all I need, so why add more bloated crap. I use gmail, and use their SMTP pop mail to get my email to TB. I no longer have any...
