    [Win 98SE] hard drive gone nuts/making me crazy

    I think it's fixed. Let me tell you guys...I think it was the ribbon cable the whole time. I have the Trios 2, and I replaced the ribbon cable that came with it, with another one I had, and I have had no problems ever since. I guess hardware is the first thing to check. Thanks for your help...

    [Win 98SE] hard drive gone nuts/making me crazy

    Update: Well, today I went to boot the computer and guess what, it didn't boot again. But this time I didn't have as many different problems. And it only took me about 30 minutes to eventually get it to boot. The first time I booted it seemed like it was going to come up, but when it got to...

    [Win 98SE] hard drive gone nuts/making me crazy

    Yes, I know that the title is not very informative, but I am at the crazy/frustrated stage at this point. I just don't know what to think or what to do. I guess I will start with symptoms, and refer to the fact that this started happening after I restored an old registry. I think the registry...

    low system resources

    Finding the culprit is a good idea. Thankfully windows does provide a utility for doing just that. If you don't have it already install the resource meter by going to control panel/add remove programs/windows setup/double click system tools and scroll down until you see system resource meter...

    low system resources after deleting files in Win98

    Hi, I am encountering a problem with Win98 and low system resources. At first it started as just a major annoyance. I would boot the computer and after a few hours my system resources would be down to 6 from 89 iniitially and I would have to reboot. I could not find out what was causing it...
