(Edited out, post was redundant, my apoligies)

I don't know a whole lot about laptops, but are you able to network with it? You could copy the entire contents of the Windows 98 CD onto another computer, then transfer them over the network. When...

One thing I've always hated about 98SE is how when you restart it, any windows you had open before you shut down are reopened upon startup. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

My brother just built my Mom a new computer, and I am in charge of setting up the software for it, as my Mom wants to duel-boot 98SE and XP. XP and 98 are both installed at this point, and I'm trying...

What OS did you delete it in? Is it possible it's in the recycle bin?

The problem has been solved. Updating the drivers fixed the internet, but IE still was not working. To fix IE, I right-clicked on the IE icon on the desktop and clicked properties. I then went to the...

Thank you so much for taking the time to find those drivers for me. Unfortunatly, installing them did not seem to change the situation. Liveupdate is still fully functional, and IE continues to say...

For the longest time, I have wanted to duel-boot both Windows 98 SE, and Windows XP home on the same computer. With my new computer, I have finally done just that. I plan on installing other...

I currently have two 80gb hard disks. The second hard drive is for Linux, which will remain the same for this, but the first hard drive is what I want to change.

On the first hard drive, I...

The reason why it was looking for winbootdir was because those drivers were taken off of my Mom's 98 computer. They were designed to run in 98's MS-DOS mode, and I had to copy 3 files from her...

Well, that's not exactly what I'm doing. Windows XP doesn't have DOS mode anymore. It can't even run DOS programs in normal mode because it's no longer compatible with them. What I've done is this:
...

My Mom's computer, using Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition has mixed up icons on the desktop. Sometimes icons will switch places or change to something completely random. The little white arrows...

Sorry, I forgot to mention. I tried installing those drivers. I got an error...some device not connected or something... They probably aren't compatible with my sound card.

Anyway, I noticed an...

I've tested them. They do not work. Something about a device not being detected....anyway, I'm just going to live with the sound problems.

As for Duke3d help, just ask me through a messenger or...

I am very pleased to see that I am not the only one who wants to play these old games. It makes me feel a little less crazy...what processor was it exactly? And are you using 98?

If it's just that...

Well, I tried switching cards, using her autoexec.bat sound lines, and moving the drivers over, and it worked...sortof. The sound effects are fine, but the music is distorted. Certain notes don't...

I thought I could get it working, but I can't, I just get errors.

Well, I have no drivers at all for dos, so that certainly complicates things. Is there somewhere I can look up the values for my...

I think I can get myself sound if I can figure out where autoexec.bat are and config.sys are, but they don't seem to exist. Where can I find them and how do I edit them?

It's IBM DOS 5.0

I have windows XP, but I installed DOS on my computer. I think this forum could help me because people here work with DOS.

I have no sound in DOS. My sound is fine in XP. My sound card is:

ESS...

I apoligize. The problem seems to have gone away now. For some reason IE suddenly started asking to be the default again. By this time, however, my Mom had decided she liked Firefox better and didn't...

She is, actually she's in charge of our network, but she's never tried Firefox before and wants to make sure she likes it before she sets it as the default. As fanatical of Firefox as I am, I don't...

I accidentally changed the default browser on my Mom's Windows 98 second edition computer to Firefox when she didn't want it that way. How do I change it back to IE?

I have used IE, Netscape Navigator, Opera, and Mozilla Firefox, all regularly at some point in my life. Out of these, I strongly believe that Firefox is the best choice. Firefox has more features...

Finally, someone with the same view on defragmenting as me. My brother thinks I'm crazy....

If you defragment, say, once a year, then you have to watch as your computer gets slower and slower, and...

Ok, then I think I'd rather install the two Windows versions on the same drive for various reasons. Will they fight if I do this? Because I've heard horror stories of them trying to delete eachother...

Alright, I guess I'll install them in the order you said, having 98 and linux on the first drive, and xp on the second. Thank you! :)

I'd get started soon, but unfortunatly, the max ram problem...

Hey. :) I've been wanting to play some of my old games for a long time, but haven't been able to because they aren't compatible with XP. Currently, I have Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 and...
