Printing to a file works great for moving files to another system for printing. Unfortunately, you MUST have the printer drivers for the DESTINATION printer. And as far as I can tell, you must have a way to easily access the printer. The only way I have been able to make a print file work, is...

We DID that, and did it again under tutelage of the HP tech support guy: that's what I meant by<br>&quot;Won't recognize driver from HP CDRom.&quot; <br>--sky

HP Pavilion 6535 finally just quit working. Couldn't keep<br>up long enough to run diagnostics. Replaced provided version<br>of WIN98SE with straight WIN98 and everything works well,<br>except cannot find sound chip. HP says its a Cirrus PCI chip - Sys won't recognize with downloaded (and setup)...

I'm running an HP Pavilion with 466mHz Celeron and 200 megRAM - so that 100% CPU usage was pretty shocking, when only opening windows explorer.<br><br>Anyway, I've been thru the wringer, and microsoft says that HP's version of Win98SE is defective. I loaded straight win98 and everything runs...

I'm running an HP Pavilion with 466mHz Celeron and 200 megRAM - so that 100% CPU usage was pretty shocking, when only opening windows explorer.<br><br>My war stories are posted elsewhere... but you may want to know that the little plastic sticky tape that &quot;seals&quot; your Pavilion, says...

I am only a techncal user, whose been through a lot with the Win98SE question. I also have a AMDK6-2 running NT4.0 that is solid as a rock --only reboot when we have power outages. <br><br>Finally had to dump 98SE because of lockups... sometimes only using explorer and CPU is 100% (with 200meg...

I was not able to use the sound on my HP Pavilion for speech to text, because could not make the recognition work, although created great .wav files.<br>Then, with crashes and lockups, moved to straight win98 in lieu of Win98SE and now the sound card is not available at all.<br>HP tech says HP...

Well, I thought I had solved my crash and shutdown problems by going to straight win98, but the price is too high. <br>cannot run the onboard sound chip without SE it looks like.<br>HP tech say HP &quot;must have&quot; changed the driver that Cirrus provided because the driver downloaded from...

The Microsoft Techs who put on seminars locally repeatedly said that W2K Pro was not a reasonable choice for really small operations. I couldn't get a clear answer as to why, except that perhaps a lot of tweaking would be required.<br><br>If there were a &quot;workstation&quot; variety, as in...

I had the same problem on an HP Pavilion. The patch worked for a day or so to stop the lockup on shutdown only.<br>Unfortunately, I also had other performance problems, mainly eating the CPU alive --constantly maxing out the CPU when only running Explorer. (not internet. When I loaded a CDRom...
