    Win98 RAM Usage

    I have found MemTurbo 2.1 to be extremely helpful with this problem, been using it for about 2 months now and not a problem since. I would definitely suggest trying it out. Good Luck :)

    Corrupt Program Manager

    Thanks, but I already tried that, no luck. Plus the fact the version of 98SE I have is a clean install disk, can't reinstall over windows with it. Thus my troubles.

    Corrupt Program Manager

    Registry is fine, been up and down and all over it. When Norton's is disabled, the system just crashes, at least with that running I have a chance to reboot properly. Sorry, but thanks :)

    Is it possible to have 2 soundcards installed in the same computer?

    What OS are you running? It is possible to setup two harware configurations that you choose at boot up. I did this on a previous machine because of games hanging. Create a new configuration and disable everything you don't use with the games then install the old soundblaster under that...

    system lags and slows down severely

    Do you have the drivers for the AMD processor installed from the AMD website? I did this and it helped on my ME machine. Also might want to try an active memory recovery utility, I use MemTurbo 2.1 and am delighted with it. Very useful,,, lots of options. Good Luck :)

    Win98 for one application Only?

    Any chance you can convert the 98SE machines to NT Workstations? This would sovle the problem entirely since they are setup for access controls, passwords for programs/folders, and everything else under the sun. Good Luck :)

    Generic/Text driver for win95

    Have you tried an Add New Hardware search? Sometimes this lets you choose better than adding a printer, especially if it's not exactly a printer but on the LPT port.

    On a Win98SE machine, the "program manager" keeps crashing. I have Norton's Crashguard installed, which has helped immensely from keeping the computer from locking up. The problem presents itself when I try to open up folders in Windows Explorer or from the My Computer icon. Really the...

    Win98 for one application Only?

    I believe the only way to allow users to certain software on 98 is to create user profiles for them on each computer, then an administator profile as well for you to troubleshoot. Once you create their profiles then you can set the access controls. Hope this helps, Good Luck :)

    Have you tried going to Network settings in the control panel and changing the log on settings to Windows logon? this usually takes out all network logon messages. Good Luck :)

    Can't make any changes in "Appearance" tab

    Darn, thought that would do it, have you tried completely reinstalling the video card? Remove it completely from the computer under the Device Manager and then reboot, reinstall drivers, and resetup your desktop appearance settings. Do I have this correct? You aren't able to apply changes in the...
