1 Attachment(s) Win'98SE & IE 6 by Gary S. Terhune
Not that I can think of. I've yet to see any problems with it on 98 systems. Still, I'm sure some here will have tales to tell. The trick is to see if there are any underlying constants involved that match your situation. -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP Shell/User "Eugene Fridman"...

WinZip 8.0 running v. slowly by Angus Rodgers[_2_]
I last installed Win98SE a little over three years ago, and a number of niggles have developed. I'm still putting off that evil day when I have to completely reinstall Win98SE and start to dual-boot with Ubuntu Linux, which will probably be my next main OS. Meanwhile, it would help quite a lot if...

Are any of the external, or if need be internal, harddrives that are sold at stores these days work with win98SE? I know that the MP3 player I bought two years ago said it required XP, but that was just if I wanted to use special features. As long as I only wanted to copy files to it from a PC...

IE Running well so far by CdLSRN
Thank you everyone! I really appreciate you sticking with me through this. Someone sent me the 3 DLL files I was missing. I installed them and was able to run the repair tool for IE6SP1. But that didn't help. I cleaned up my startup items with help from the group. I deleted a lot of unnecessary...

Antivirus software for 98 by Jack[_3_]
What type of antivirus software do people using 98 use now that Norton and AVG no longer support 98? My 98 machine still outperforms my XP significantly.

posts about Terhune by thanatoid
FWIW, even though I though Gary was a jerk and we had a serious and permanent falling out within a few days of our first thread, I find the current jokes and general discussion of his "status" in poor taste. No one knows where he is or how he is and I think you should drop the subject. I for...
