1. I was playing around with my Win95B machine and I saw there is no more-than-useless "suspend" item on the stupid start menu. I can't remember how I got rid of it, I can't figure out how to do it, so I can't get rid of it on my 98SEL machine. Does anyone know how? 2.

Is there someone that have the windows 98 Memory patch, and can post it here? //Thanks! :-)

I have several different blue screen fatal exception errors that have suddenly started to appear. I am not in any particular program, nor do they seem to happen at a particular time. I have checked the Support sites that were offered (this is my second posting), but can not seem to find the exact...

My daughter has an old Gateway computer running Windows 98. She says no one wants it because it is slow and obsolete and she wants to turn it into the local recycling place. She is worried about (personal) data on the hard drive. I wonder if reformatting the HD will destroy all the data? My...

In the news today it was announced that all Windows OS's, back to W98, need critical security updates installed. Going to the Microsoft site, I don't see any updates for W98 - they all seem to be for XP, ME, 2000 etc. Any suggestions? John A wise monkey is a monkey who doesn't monkey

Ok, As most of you know, I had a partition go bad on one of my drives and I lost much of the data on it, because I did not have a current backup. I got rid of that hard drive, even after a re-format showed it to be usable and not have bad sectors. This is an old IBM brand computer from about 2001....

Since the update website does not work mostly any more and all updates have to be collected by hand somewhere, I just came over the problem of updating the standard root certificates in w98se. The MS sais that the update is for all above w95, but how to download the upload and where? I tried to...

I have a problem with my son's three-year-old Dell PC: Win98 SE, 833, 40g HD. It was filled with malware that I removed with Adaware and Spybot. Microsoft notified me that there were a number of MS upgrades available. I applied the upgrades one evening without monitoring the progress. The...

OS: W98se fully patched (except for net framework 1.1) / ~17 GB free space (40 GB HD-D) / P4 2.0 GHz / 1 GB Sdram / IE6 SP-1 fully patched. System was working fine, and then I decided to learn how to use Ad-Aware SE Pro 1.05 with AdWatch. :-\\ I opened AdWatch and checked out its configurations...

I am not a Win98 user, I use XP, but I'm crossposting to the 98 group because if there's anyone that would know about running old programs on modern machines, I hope it to be you guys. I was told that legacy DOS drivers are no longer made for modern mobos as of like 5 years ago, but I constantly...

Back in 2007, when Gary Terhune was active here, I installed the "Grystmill Unofficial Time Zones Update" for W98. At the time it seemed OK, but I've noticed, and particularly this recent DST adjustment, I have to adjust the time manually, and no longer on cold boot get the usual windows...

Kernel-Ex Version 4.5.12 says it's intended to run Firefox 8.0. While FF 8.0 does load, it's crashes almost everytime I close it, and often when I clear the history (cache, cookies, etc). A few times this crash locked up the whole computer, which has not happened to me in years. Before this, I...

Several people have asked recently about various Windows Updates. Like how many have been issued since the Windows Updates Security CD was released, how many of Win98 Gold's patches were subsumed into Win98SE, etc. There are two major difficulties in this experiment. First, you can't get...

I am adding the 98 general newsgroup for their feedback as well. The question of what is wrong with Microsoft is simple but I welcome corrections if I am wrong. smile Microsoft is a big company with not enough competition and so Microsoft does things their way. If and when Microsoft has...
