did you format your hard drive prior to installing Windows? How big is your drive?

I'm going to be brief:

Nope. It won't work. Two different OSes, two different drivers are needed.

Microsoft doesn't have ME anymore. You might be able to get it from eBay, or something, but I wouldn't recommend installing a 6 year old OS that hasn't had updates for it in over 2 years on a PC...

You probably need to update the BIOS on the machine that is getting the processor upgrade. That machine probably needs to know what bus speeds, etc, that it's going to use for the new chip.

As...

You probably want to obtain a real copy of your operating system media, and download the drivers for the system on another system. If it's not reading the discs you have, you're simply out of luck...

Great! thanks for the information!

Do you have another video card that you can try on this? Why are we loading such an old OS on this system, anyways?

Please don't hijack old, dead threads. If you need help, create a new thread.

What kind of components do you have? Did you you load the chipset driver before all the other ones?

Right click My Computer, then click Properties. Click the Device manager tab. Is anything listed in there with an Exclamation point (!) or a question mark (?) ?

Follow oalee's instructions-- they're spot on for what you're looking to do.

It's quite possible that dust has accumulated in the system. Along with what everything else suggested, I'd recommend inspecting your power supply fan, along with the processor's fan. Heat can...

Did you try re-running the Windows installer , like it said?

you might want to consider taking that hard drive out of the system, placing it another system, and retrieving the files you need off of it. Then, consider reinstalling Windows.

Have you tried...

I'm guessing it would be on either your Windows 98 CD, or on your ISP installation Cd. Have you tried a file search on either of those locations?

Have you disconnected all peripherals? I'd also find out what option resets the BIOS defaults on the system. It may not even hurt to consider updating the BIOS revision on the laptop to the latest ...

You can't just hit Cancel, or the <Escape> key? It's always worked for me. Either that, or boot into Safe Mode by holding the <ctrl> key at boot, and then you should be able to change the password.

In your situation, I'd just back up the files you know you want to save to the network share, and leave it that. You're going to have trouble backing up the whole OS, unless you wanted to boot to...

First off, don't download videos from iMesh. You're just asking for trouble. Secondly, you got the trouble you're asking for; run the spyware removal tools that I have linked in my sig.

What resolution are you trying to change it to?

What is the size of your monitor?

It sounds like you're just picking the wrong resolution. I'd start small, and move up gradations, like...

There's a way to do it, but it's really convoluted.

The best way to do it is figure out some way to get the Windows 98 installation files on your hard drive, any way possible. You could remove...

Why do a full format?

Unless there's data integrity or something similar at stake, a quick format is sufficient.
Simply marking those sectors as "empty" or available is just fine, as the drive...

There seem to be quite a few of them around. My father in law uses these packages pretty frequently;...

Exactly. I know this is an old post, but if you wanted to change it, this would be the trick:

old one

Why not try it on a different COM port, like 3 or 4?

This is just me, but I usually try to set internal software modems to something higher than 2, so they don't interfere with COM ports that...

I don't think packard Bell's around anymore... your only legal option now would be to purchase a new license of 98 from someone...

Keep in mind that with one product key, you're only licensed to run Windows 98 on one system. Even if you can pull the product key off of one system, you shouldn't use it on another.

If you know what CAB file it's on, this method will work. Just wanted to chime in on this, because the Windows ME installation CD does have EXTRACT on it.

What happened when you tried this? Did it have better results?

My only thought is, if you can get on fine in Linux, then it's probably something internal to your Windows installation. Your...

Have you checked for viruses lately? It's possible that a virus has infected MFC.dll, or something.

Wait just a second-- who's your ISP?

Keep in mind that with most broadband cable companies, you don't need to install a single thing on your system to get it to work. If you install and configure...

I'm thinking it might be best for you just to locate your original Windows installation media and do a clean OS reinstall. It sounds like you've got several fun driver conflicts and screw-ups going...

Open IE.

Click on Tools, then Internet Options. Click on the Programs tab. There should be a button there that says "Reset Web Settings...". Click on that-- it will reset all of your Internet...

Have you just tried deleting that "Secondary IDE Controller dual Fifo" and restarting the computer? Sometimes, doing that will reinitialize the IDE controller, and cause the system to rescan...

Are they running any Java or Flash ads?

There may not be anything wrong with your computer, it may be with their server. Try to find out if other users are having the same trouble. It may be an...

Have you run any spyware removal tools?

Check out the "Helping yourself" thread at the top of our Security forum. I'd be willing to bet that using your new DSL connection brought in a bunch of...

Sure, you can do this. Just make two partitions on your drive.

If you do Win98 + XP, make sure that 98 is installed to C: and XP on D:. Install 98 first, and then install XP, which will cause XP...

Do you have an IP address?

Click Start, then Run, then type in WINIPCFG /ALL, and then click OK. Tell us what it says under IP Address on the system. If it's anything starting with 169.x.x.x,...

Indeed. But a question: Why is the "server" running Windows 98? Have you checked for spyware/viruses, etc? Can you ping the server?

It's kind of like this... Once you get in there, what are you going to do?

I had a freeshell account, but I let it lapse. I mean, I've got all of the Unix boxen I ever need, and I've got them set...
