This is especially true for any chipset/motherboard related drivers, and IDE/SCSI controllers.

The admin here wanted me to use the default Windows drivers for the Adaptec 2110S that I used to...

Turns off services and such. More oriented for NT based systems, but has a few 9x tips available.

Though I agree with more memory never hurting...

If you're on a network, it's much, much, much simpler to copy the disk to folder, share it out, and install the software from the network.

No need for a cd as you can set permissions on a share...

Amen to that.

What happened was that XP setup wrote a new boot sector, pretty much erasing any existence of a plain vanilla 98 installation.

You can't really do anything about it other than format and start...

Or breathing in a nondescript way can destroy the "work" that P.M. does.

Google for ntfsdos if you want read-only access to NTFS drives under a 9x system. There are some "additions" that give...

Also, there is a twist of 8 or 10 wires on the end that should plug into the drive.

Well, that's with a ribbon cable...rounded are a bit harder to diagnose, but it's either/or.

Usually programs that start up in the system tray give the option keep that from happening. Check the preferences for that program.

I'm not sure what you mean by sliding pins then...

Is there anyway you can take a picture of the connector? If no camera, you could use a scanner if you have one.

No label on the back that...

Firstly, can you post the make and model of the monitor?

Are the "sliding" pins on the RGB connectors, or the 15-pin one?

If they're on the RGB connectors (aka barrel connectors), you'll...

640x480 16bpp is usually an indication that you have to install drivers for your video device, not a BIOS setting.

Yeah. lol

Much more descriptive images than my ASCII art. :)

There still should be 3 pins side-by-side with a jumper connecting two of them somewhere on the motherboard.

With the power cable unplugged, you can move it over. A small illustration:

Like Tall said, you have to clear the CMOS. There's a jumper that's on the motherboard if you take the side panel off. Unless it's a laptop, then it's harder to do this.

You can Google for that...

Here's the PM he sent me, and my reply.

Buy more RAM. Virus protection will take resources quite a lot.

After you purchase more RAM, you could possibly invest in Windows 2000 or XP.

:lol:

Technically no, the upgrade process is fairly painless.

www.newegg.com (http://www.newegg.com) has an OEM copy (full install) of Windows XP for around $145 USD.

Look at your taskbar. On the bottom right are some of your running tasks. If you have say, more than 5 down there, those applications are what's keeping you from zooming around like normal.

As a...

The reason why your file isn't deleting is because it has a "funny" character in it. Windows doesn't like it, so it won't even attempt to do what you want it to do.

That said, you'll have to...

Yeah, I'd say drivers. That card was a spectacular piece of hardware a few years ago, but it's definitely not Dx9 compatible, let along 8, maybe even 7. That was going to be my guess. heh

Open up a command prompt window. This is performed by typing "command" at the run box on the start menu.

From the black box that pops up, navigate to your Desktop directory...try "cd...
