Never heard of it before but a simple google search on "track changes on"found this .
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/trackchanges/HowTrackChangesWorks.html

i tried typing "Tasklist /SVC" on the dos prompt
like
c:\Documents and Settings\Owner>Tasklist /Svc

and it says

'tasklist' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

am i entering it wrong or something :/ ?

go to start/all programs /accessories /and command prompt.
Just type in .... Tasklist /svc ,note there is a space between tasklist and the / slash

Thank you Caperjack - that certainly gets rid of the messages. Ahhhhhh smoother browsing :)

Your welcome ,Glad to have been able to help you

Glad to hear you got it fixed ,now can you come here and fix this old IBM ,thats driving me nuts

some info here might help

Thanks, I might do that. I'm giving Hotmail support a wk to get back to me then I will find another email program. Problem is I've had this address for yrs!

Yeah I know what you mean I have a hotmail acct that goes back to 1997,but it works just fine i think .don't use it much except to but in where a email address is needed .

time to look for google mail ,still in bata but you get 100mgs storage space and It seems to work ok for me .

Try this in IE go to tools ,internet options /advanced ,in the browsing section near the top ,check off disable script debugging .

Ok, my goal now is to get this to work on my current level of W98, or to find a cheap Win98SE update.

I saw in another forum that may be able to use a WinXP driver to get around this problem, but need more understanding. Does anyone see this as a good solution?

Thx.

Bob

If you don't find any viruses ,I would try this ,go to control panel , add & remove programs /,add & remove windows components ,accessories and uncheck paint if it checked ,ok you way out then go back in and reinstall paint .

I think you could boot to the xp cd and run chkdsk to check harddrive .

So your the one ,I heard there was a computer owner who felt stupid.!:) LOL

have you contacted AOL to see what they say might be the problem.

The first computer I had 98se on was a p166 32 megs of ram use it for about 4 yrs.
I wouldn't put xp on it if i were you .
As for upgrading to 98SE all you need is a 98SE disk and from the boot disk run setup making sure to install it in the c:\windows folder,so that it over writes the win98 ,[not the c:\windows000 folder that it might choose] and install it over the 98 version .I have done this on numerisous ocations with 95 and 98 .

this one showes how to restore the system.ini file .
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000211.htm

Or You might need to to create a new system.ini ,note if cant boot to the prompt just use the boot disk.

Also you should be able to buy null modem cable ,to transfer the file to the other laptop

Sorry man, I misunderstood lol...

I'll just go sit in this corner with my dunce cap on...

;)

You'll have to wait your turn!:)

runtime errors are caused by a bug in the software program you are using at the time of the errror.
So it could be a bug in you install of IE or a program that the certain sites /pages are using for one reason or another ,like Java or maybe a sound player .!!
What is the full error message it's telling you ,or does it just say you have a runtime error .
Maybe post a link here to one of the sites in question .

I don't think Killa32 will come back in and admit to doing this now .

Well I thought I seen it all until this .I know lots of people who whouldn't know if this was ok to do or not !!And if they owned a screw driver might just try it .

killa62, if you did do this then you might just a well go out and buy a new Hard drive right now

Win98 does back up your registry, each day ithe computer is turned off and turned back on the next day ,it saves five different ones,dropping the oldest off the end on the 6 day ,to axcess this boot with win98 boot disk and type in SCANREG /RESTORE this will display a listof backups, pick the odlest date, there should be a date from before the problem started .
If no backup is avaiable try , SCANREG /FIX

Reinstall it and try again

Well it seems you jst have to go looking for it with you Security set really low and you will find ,cant find anyone who knows a sit with the bad EXE on it .
one thing you could do it this if you have CWShredder on you computer ,or get it here , http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/c.bennett03/CWShredder.exe
put it on you hardrive .then copy a shourtcut to your desktop .right click on the shortcut and choose properties and in the target add this with a space after the .exe /debug.
Close it and then click on the shourt cut and you will get a tool to search for cws sites ,and also a list of bad sites where you could get the infections .

thanks il try it. IM pretty sure its not spyware though. Its a dll error. OH and that second one you said, the CW shredder link doesnt work.

I will fix the link thanks ,It may not be spyware ,but you hijack log indicates you have lots of spyware and trojan infected file !good luck

Caution!The registry is a very dangerous place if you don't know what you are doing.
To get ther go to start/run and type in REGEDIT.
