jusCk, dunno what you did but that sounds buzarre.

oalee, if the problems aren't cleaned up before a refresh install they will be replicated or worsened. If a refresh install doesn't fix it, a...

Boot into Safe mode. Run the spyware programs from there to remove stubborn intruders. From within Safe mode, uninstall any crappy downloaded programs. If "the missus" is like many other "the...

Well hold on then. Remove all disks from drives (floppy AND Cd) and reboot. See if it starts.

That message can crop up if the system is set to boot first from floppy or CD, and you've left a...

I would suggest that you have a look at the label on the hard drive, determine what manufacturer made it, download the diagnostic software from their website and see if it reports any errors. The...

The 'bare essentials' should include Systray and Explorer. Nothing else. End-task anything else you see in there ;)

Sometimes, the Recovery disks do not contain all the necessary data. Instead, they need to access data contained in a 'hidden' partition on the original hard drive. It is almost imposssible to...

It's rather hard to answer your question adreamer. Details of what HP model you own haven't been provided, and in any event the method of including the Recovery data has changed over time.

If the...

Nice try, Opopp, but off the mark in this instance. No Windows CD with one of those systems.

adreamer2, that CD should boot the machine up if it's an autoboot recovery CD and the system is set at...

There is no such thing as a legitimate free download of Windows 95, and I'm afraid we don't permit information about warez here at Daniweb.

It's a nuisance when the OS version you're after is...

Two things you need to do in preparation. The first is to use Add/Remove programs to create a startup diskette.

The second is to ensure you have the CD install keycode for Window 98, as you won't...

I'm a bit stumped I have to admit. It seems strange that the system is correctly identifying monitor and display card, yet still exhibiting such behaviour. Are you sure that the monitor is actuall...

Ctrl+Alt+Del in normal mode. End Task everything except Systray and Explorer. Then defrag.

That's because you need to boot from a Windows 98 startup floppy disk, format the hard drive, then pop the Windows 98 CD in the drive and run 'Setup'.

there;s no prompt yet because the Startup...

Did you click 'Apply'?

Misplaced topic. This should be in the Tech section. Please state which Windows version you are using and I'll move the thread to the appropriate place for you.

Do you have Windows Me? System Recovery in that OS is a pretty wonky and unreliable thing. If you have it and have used it, I would seriously consider downloading and reinstalling the full...

Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta is suitable only for use with Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

It will not install and run on Windows 98 or Windows Me

Dougie, if those other menu options are shaded and unavailable then you have a problem with Windows itself. You should ensure that your system is free of viruses and other malware (our Viruses and...

Most likely going to be a Compaq diagnostic or support utility of some sort.

Uninstall any entries you see in Add/Remove programs which relate to Compaq's help and suupport services then reboot...

errmmmmmm..........

Perhaps you should look at the date the thread was created. This topic has been 'dead' for 18 months or more! I hardly think Christina is going to still be trying to update...

Sure that the Recovery CD is not scratched, dirty or otherwise damaged? That doesn't make a lot of sense, really. Even if the hard drive has been changed and more RAM installed the Recovery should...

Did this behaviour occur immediately after the restore CD was used, or after you added more software and/or used the PC for a while?

Could you indicate precisely what you mean by 'did a recovery'?

There are numerous procedures which people might describe in that way.

Right-click on the system tray clock and choose 'Adjust date/time'.

ALL leeching via p2p sucks!

If you use a partition management tool to free up some drive space and create a FAT32 partition on it for the Windows 98 install, you can just add 98 by following the procedures described here:
...

Reboot. Press the <F8> key before the Windows Logo screen displays and choose 'Safe Mode' from the menu. You might need to repeatedly tap the <F8> key from the momory check onwards to get the...

I'm not understanding your question here. Are you asking how to use the network feature to copy files from one machine to another? Alternatively, are you asking how to back up the whole system onto...

That first one is free and should do the job. Use your normal software to compose the document, and then print the document using the pdf creator instead of your printer.

Or you could use the...

Install Mozilla or Firefox browser. See if you can access the Hotmail account when using one of those. If so you'll have isolated the problem as one which relates to Internet Explorer.

You need to identify what display card or onboard video you have in that PC and load the device drivers for it. If the device drivers are already loaded correctly you may have missed loading the...

Old problem which has been around since Windows 95 days. check the various solutions at:

Give us some details of your system and we'll be able to help you locate the correct drivers to use. We need the make and model of your system, if it's a 'Brand name' PC, or the make and model of...

cliff71673, you should really create a new topic (or 'Thread') to ask a new question, rather than adding a new question to an existing topic.

But no! You can't 'download' a display adaptor...

Make a Windows startup diskette. Download all the device drivers for your system and put them on CD.

Boot from the floppy, format, and install again. then load your drivers and software. Stop...

johnq, to some extent you're talking like you're using am SMS for communication. Please be more detailed. AShampoo has a wide range of products. Which one was in use please.

What disk utilities or other system tools software have you used recently?

Start - Programs - Accessories - system Tools - Disk Cleanup

Then, if you're really, really fussy about it, you can search for and delete the following. Windows will continue to work:

Questions should go in the section for the appropriate Windows version, djm 123. I've moved this to the Windows 98 section for you.

Oh hell no. In 90% or more of cases, people who had their system crash after downloading a Critical Update from Microsoft had something seriously wrong on their systems beforehand, and it was...
