hi jennie171. not sure what happened but i posted a reply before and it didnt go through. may be i pressed the wrong button in answer to your .qefecheck install . copy that install number .go to the update site . and paste it in the search bar . and it will tell you if it is valid or not. a red x is a sign it is a bad install. and it isnt nessceryly your fault . lots of times it is you isp line that interferes with the down load. and misses this file . what ile do is ile copy and paste that number myself . and see what i come up with. good luck

hi i have a compt with win98se.i normally experiment with. and when i went to win update. there were 95 hotfixes for it. unfoertunately i haven th room for all the 95 fixes. so i put half of them on. after i installed them. i watched a program called click on line from the bbc. and one of the presenters said . microsoft was going to discontinue supporting win98se. so im a bit confused here. 95 up dates and discontinue support for win98. dosent figure. im glad it is only a play thing. i dont really like win98.freezes, blue screens and what all. and now it wont configure my printer. hope some on

hi jennie just read your post. welcome and put yur feet up and enjoy there are some good people here, and experts on compt problems so when you have aQ post it and someone will help marty

im not anexpert on winme. but when you get to wipe the partition. dose it not state to press certain keys once youve pressed the key it, then asks you to make sure you want to delete the partition.to press a key . i havent had to use my cursor to delete a partition you just follow the screen instruction. i use winxp. so i cant speak for winme . but im sure all windows applis use the same partition method . when your installing from the cd. post back and let us know of your progress. im sure some one will post and give you help. marty

yes pete and chappy are moderators.and that helps. i have respect for those 2 gentlemen. and as they are very experienced. it makes a difference to us as poster. i saw pete block a post because his heading was help eleven time . and he had 34 posts 25 was his bumps. so the moderators do a very difficult job. i must say they are very good here . tho 99 percent of the posters are tolerent and helpfull. there are a couple ide like to answer. but i dont want this board to revert to flaming each other so i keep my . intolerence to my self.i waited a long time for this board to open. once i migrate

hi team for several weeks ive been playing around with this old compt. ive installed win98se. and it goes well . but for the boot up. when it boots i get the message please insert sys disk. as im not sure of which sys disk cd or floppy. to get it to boot i have to go to the bios and enable . all drives to auto detect. and what i dont understand it only has one hdd. as im not familiar with win 98se i need your advice. marty

hi CurlingSteve ive just been to the command prompt. and tested your theory and my you are correct . just goes to show none of us can master any sys. thanks for the insight. marty

unfortunitly you get that sort of flaming on any board. tho on this one it isnt as blatant as others . g4 has improved a lot since its inception. for several weeks i avoided it. but with a better lot of moderators it has weeded out the flamers .and trolls sure there is room for improvement. i have never been a member of leoville. so i cant pass comment. in your post here you critersize some one because they are left wing so i feel you may have helped with the flaming . im left wing. what have you got to say about that. i normally dont like discussing politics. but your post demanded a resp

how patriotic is every one . i found this amusing and clever.i hope it hasent been posted before. ive only been here once in several days. thanks marty press here

me to bar5 hope you have a good one and many more to come. marty

well one thing you have 3 posts asking the same Q and most posters will by pass the post because of the multi posts the other thing try and set your heading so people know what they are answering. befor they read the post. if you read the posts by the most experience people you will find their headings explain why they are here. besides you need a bit more patients . not all are familiar with sata . until i read your post i didnt know what sata was. remember your not exclusive to this board . and you need to wait .in stead of multi posts . marty

have you been to device manager and updated your hardware drivers. it is good idea to be online when you update these HW drivers win 98 has a few gremlins when it comes to hard ware some times hard ware can close your sys down. ,arty

yes i agree with you. one of the getarounds is big corporate bizness . they are very influential. and spam is an easy way to advertise and it is also free . i have just come from a meeting . and we have been circulating a spam partition with about 33.000 sigs sure i know it isnt many but it is a start. every one who joins dont like spam but dont want to make waves. one way to stop spam is to boycott the firms who are generating this stuff . that is why i think chappy is brave circulating that partition he is fighting some of the most powerful corperations . so we need to get in behind him bu

hi team this is what is on the news service hi team at last the goverment of my country is reviewing the anti spam laws. this is ths article in the print media. ok i realise it isnt much to go on . but it is a start.i remember mr bush saying these words in his first term . Anti-spam laws likely Friday, 5 September 2003 Govt likely to bring in laws to limit spam, unwanted e-mails, but may not be much use as many come from overseas The Government is likely to follow Australia's lead and bring in anti-spam legislation. Government papers obtained under the Official Information Act show spam, unwan
