    Batch file on logoff? Possible to do?

    Dan How about adding an entry for the RunOnce key in the registry. Add it to the script that runs on startup using the "reg.exe" tool (which ships as part of the Windows 2000 Support Tools). It will then make it that the next time the user logs on, it will run whatever you put into...

    UPdating Virus Definitions on Norton Anti Virus CD

    alteltec What about NTFS? I put in a NAV Corprate cd and it booted much like you described (running of a windows 98 boot disk). The problem is I have an NTFS partition. All it did was scan the cd for viruses. I hope there were no viruses on my anti-virus cd! Is there a way to get it to scan an...

    UPdating Virus Definitions on Norton Anti Virus CD

    I have almost found a solution. I went to http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html , Symantec's source for virus definitions. I clicked on Download Virus Definitions (Intelligent Updater Only)[http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/defs.download.html]. I then...

    UPdating Virus Definitions on Norton Anti Virus CD

    I'm sorry, my mind was going faster than my typing. I am trying to update the CD so if I have to run a virus scan by booting of the CD the virus definitions won't be out of date. It seems kind of pointless to boot from the CD and check for viruses if the definitions are months/years out of date...

    UPdating Virus Definitions on Norton Anti Virus CD

    Hi I am running norton anti virus 2000. My cd is a little old (obviously) and I wanted to burn a new copy with the latest virus definitions on it. I looked on Symantec's site but all I saw were ways to upgrade the virus definitions on the rescue disks. I thought it might be the same on a cd but...

    Does DOS have a problem recognizing two cd-rom drives?

    Thank you for your help. I have sort of solved the problem. I reversed the drives so that the slave became the master and vice versa. it then recognized both the drives with one line in the config.sys with one device and one line in the autoexec.bat with one device. It looks something like...

    Does DOS have a problem recognizing two cd-rom drives?

    Hello I have recently installed a second cd-rom drive in my computer. when I boot off my windows 98 boot disk it recognizes both cd-rom drives and gives each a drive letter. however, when I boot off my DOS hard drive it doesn't recognize the second cd-rom drive. [it usually gives me an error...

    DOS/Red Hat 6.2 dual boot

    Thank You I did the custom install and everything worked out fine. However, my NIC is not being initialized for some reason. i have a cable modem and a router so I set it up to DHCP. I don't know if Linux has the driver or if I need to install it. Where would I go to check that out? Thank you...

    DOS/Red Hat 6.2 dual boot

    I have a 16 GIG hard drive with a one gig DOS partition on it. I would like to dual boot with Red Hat 6.2 without losing anything from my DOS partiton. Is there anything I have to know before I install it. I have never installed linux before and therefore am not sure what issues may arise...

    OS has to be clean installed to recognize modem????

    I got the problem resolved. The reason the modem wasn't coming up was that it wasn't seated properly. I couldn't open it myself without voiding the warranty. The reason why the guy from the store told me to reinstall the OS was because he wasn't interested in getting involved with the registry...

    can't think You wrote: "Can you upgrage using the full version? I have the full version of Windows 98 and am wanting to install it onto a PC that currently has Windows 95. I used the boot disk and launched setup but it said I had to purchase the upgrade version!" Try running the...

    Difference between w98se upgrade and full version

    Let me explain the purpose of my exercise a little better. I have the win98 se upgrade cd. When I want to do a clean install I am prompted to insert my previous version of windows.[It only asks this if it does not find a version of windows on the hard drive]. My previous version of windows...

    Difference between w98se upgrade and full version

    cdogg I not really sure I understand what you are saying. From my experiences I have noticed that you can do an upgrade install with the full version of the windows 98 cd. The point of an upgrade cd is a way to get the new operating system for less money since you have already paid for a...

    Difference between w98se upgrade and full version

    I was interested in finding out exactly what was different between the windows 98 se upgrade cd and the full version. Since you can do a clean install with the upgrade cd [as long as you have a previous version of windows on disk] I figured that there couldn't be much difference between the full...

    A way to totally clean the registry without reinstalling?

    cjhacon I was under the impression that reinstalling the OS will only help clean the registry of programs that belong to microsoft. I think I read somewhere that for 3rd party software, reinstalling the OS doesn't help. I had tried reinstalling about a month ago but I didn't notice too much of...

    A way to totally clean the registry without reinstalling?

    I only have the windows 98 upgrade cd so I can't easily do a clean install. also the work involved in reinstalling all the programs etc. is too much for me. IF I am not mistaken, I never had a clean install of 98 on my computer. I was looking through my registry the other day and I noticed...

    A way to totally clean the registry without reinstalling?

    Hi I'm looking for a way to totally clean out my registry without doing a clean install. I have used various registry cleaners but they don't seem to do a comprehensive job. I have used three registry cleaners one right after the other and each one has picked up more invalid entries. Thank...
