I KNOW this sounds stupid, but when they replaced my mother-board, somehow one of my favorite '98 theme/screensavers was lost. I was the 'Mystery' theme and screensaver (the one with the fingerprint/keys/envelope, etc). Does anyone know ANYwhere I can get it from? I'm sure not going to re-format to...

I've had to reinstall Win98SE into my Toshiba satellite 4300 laptop. All is well except the display screen is only half size. I'm assuming I need the video driver that came with my laptop but it's not available. Does anyone know where I could download the driver. Thanks for any help.

I'm installing a PC for my mother, she's got bad eyes and therefore likes to have the mousetrail. But I can't get it to work. Off course I tried all the settings in windows configuration/mouse. After that I installed logitech mouseware, and tried other mouses. Nothing seems to work. Anyone knows a...

Many & varied apologies for asking this in such b-a-s-i-c terms (am a bit of a techno-retard, a fact of which I am not very proud...) ....but I've just been given a hand-me-down lap top which is running on Windows 98 - entriely in German. Tragically, I have about a 10-word German vocab (and no,...

I have a Samsung 242MP monitor. When I set the display mode to 1920 by 1200 60Hz It says I have an invalid display mode and the video card reverts to 1600 by 1200. 1920 by 1200 60Hz is supposed to be the native resolutio of the monitor. Bob

I gave my brother my old Windows 98 PC. It has a Matrox Millenium video card and the Matrox Powerdesk software. Somehow (he is definitely not computer literate) he has done something with the Powerdesk settings that make me think he has turned on the multiple desktop feature, but since I never...

I'm losing it! I could've sworn there is a shortcut key combination to activate the screen saver in '98 (as opposed to waiting for a timed activation) ... am I nuts? I've looked just about everwhere and cannot seem to find this info ... help! Thanks! Steve

Text on display, toolbars,status bars, web pages, icons all appear smaller than usual. Viewable screen is same size, but items within are smaller. What happened and how can I change things back to normal?

Whevever I use Safe Mode, Windows 98 rearranges my icons on the desktop. Is there a way to save my desktop configuration so I can restore it when this happens?
