Thanks wolluf>the boot floppy is what I did, works perfectly. I'll just leave the rest alone for now, no more than I boot into windows it should be sufficient (until Im forced to buy XP at least) chas

Hey Wolluf=That absolutely worked! I am greatly relieved, and a little better educated now on the windows boot process. Or, I suppose its called the nt-loader. I owe you a dinner. Now, I can wipe the new install out,correct? or do I need to use fdisk and make a small partition, copy those 3...

Vacunita-thanks I did try the FIXMBR but it couldnt find anything, IIRC. Maybe I did not understand how to issue the complete command tho. Or it could be that I wiped it out. wolluf: I will read that link, I read a ton of MS Q-articles last night. This new install has id'd the drives as "E"...

I have multi-boot system 2 IDE drives. HDA is small/old 1.2GB, &2nd drive is 40GB. (first disk was only used to tinker in small linux distros and was mostly empty) WHen I installed win2000pro, I was unfamiliar with directing what installed to where, the boot partition was installed on the...

Thanks I have already upgraded browser, I am reluctant to remove anything about this Direcway Satellite Internet program until I know for sure that it wont kill my internet, I believe those progs are required (dpc start.exe and proxy). Will attempt to verify thru d'way tech support first IF...

Was told to post this for possible reviews, removed sev questionable items using various progs, adaware, spybot, trojan guard, and others. I dont have a clue if any of this is bad, computer seems to work properly now, and access web and email again. Here goes: Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan...

Win98se=this is prob some new kind of trojan. Attempts to open IE6 or firefox immediately cause BSOD with 'fatal exception: 0D has occcured at 0000:00010000. Ran norton a/v, avast, adaware spybot, none of them have found ANYTHING. So far, all other programs seem fine, Im puzzled. WIndows...

Thanks for the replies, but I already fixed it the hard way. One DLL at a time>searched ms knowledge base for list of all files installed with ICS, then using System File checker, installed each one. BTW>Win98SE installs CAB files to \WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS in their uncompressed form. Using system...

After hard drive sudden failure, getting my network back up>but I am unable to figure out how I did it 2 yrs ago. The "ICS" prog will NOT install following 9kinds of instructions I have tried. It apparently does not install when u clean-install Win98se on a new disk drive. Ive read 12 pages of...

Installed cd-rw drive in friends 4yr old generic computer, to replace burned out cdrom drive. Its running Win98SE, just like my old comp does. I have Adaptec prog -his has Roxio. On my machine I have the option in Explorer to SEND FILE to CDRW drive,when I right click on a file, which I want to...

Thanks smitee--it seems to have worked. THeres big README attached to the EasyCdCreator-explaining how, in order to make bootable cd rom, u must load contents of emerg boot floppy, sysconfig and autoexec files -along with your content , to make a bootable cd. I dont get it-your system worked...

Using Adeptec V3.5 EAsy CD (toaster)Creator---can anybody tell me the exact language to type in for making a CDR ISO image type bootable cdrom? Tried following their directions but got nothing-cdr launches the Windows boot disk stuff,and stops at the A: promt. DOnt know enough DOS to fake...
