Solve : Windows 98 SE - network card? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>hi<br/><br/>I wonder if anyone can help me. <br/><br/>I am trying to get broadband installed on my computer and have to get a network <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/card-769007" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CARD">CARD</a> installed. I am told I can get one for about £10 but how do you fit them? Will I need to get a professional to do it? Any help would be appreciated<br/><br/>CheersIt is very simple. You do not have to be an expert if you follow these steps:<br/>1. Disconnect the computer from the power grid<br/>2. Take precautions against Electro-static discharge<br/>- <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/learn-536886" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LEARN">LEARN</a> more about ESD here<br/>3. Take the Network Interface Card out of the packaging material <br/>4.Open the system case<br/>- If you have not yet followed Step 1 and 2, do so now!<br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/5-237653" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 5">5</a>. Look for WHITE slots where cards are sticking out (Assuming it is a PCI card)<br/>6. Lay the computer on its side with the manboard facing in your direction<br/>7. Take the PCI card, place it into the slot and push with both hands until it is firmly seated. Do not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/exercise-454851" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EXERCISE">EXERCISE</a> too much force, as it is fragile equipment. <br/>8. Use the screw to fasten the PCI bracket.<br/><br/>Close your system case and power on the computer. You can stick the network cable in and out whenever you please, but it may be wise to do so when the computer is still powered down. <br/><br/>The card should be autodetected by Windows, but you may need to install drivers which came on the CD or diskette which should have been given with the NIC. There is also a chance that Windows will auto install the drivers and you need not bother.currys/dabs/scanuk and load others that have them:<br/><br/><a href="http://www.seattleu.edu/it/findit/articles/8502393424.html">http://www.seattleu.edu/it/findit/articles/8502393424.html</a>Cheers guys... just to let you know it worked (although my friend did install it for me)<br/><br/>Thanks Quote</p><blockquote>Cheers guys... just to let you know it worked (although my friend did install it for me)<br/><br/>Thanks</blockquote> <br/><br/>That is one way to do it.</body></html> | |

Solve : Windows 95 problems? |

I couldn't see a file for System32 in my windows folder on the 95 computer (which is where it was located on my XP version) - and combinations of putting it in windows folder, system folder and making a system32 folder had no effect. Putting it in the folder of the application itself DID work - but it then couldn't work because 'the msvbvm60.dll file is linked to missing export oleaut32.dll:421' - My subsequent attempts to fix this - by basically repeating the above steps with both files (msv.. and olea...) - have been unsucsessful.

Solve : I NEED to get rid of a system folder! Win98S? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Something - probably malware - has provided my PC with several false Desktop folders. I have managed to get rid of all but one. Another will delete, but keeps reappearing each time I reboot, and I have to delete it again.<br/><br/>The one which I can't delete gives the error message that it is a "system folder" required by Windows. It is an EXTRA system folder, and I want that puppy gone!<br/><br/>Originally these false Desktop folders appeared in the Windows\All Users and Windows\Profiles\{my logon name} folders. At least one of them had some of my desktop items on it. Those deleted nicely without causing any problems. The empty folder on the one which won't delete still presents me with all my proper <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/icons-1035452" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ICONS">ICONS</a>, just as though they were still in that folder.<br/><br/>On booting up, Windows is using the proper desktop. Even then, though, Windows still refuses to delete this false desktop folder. Another one, which I deleted earlier, reappears with each bootup, and must be deleted anew, but doesn't seem to be causing any other problems that I can see. I have moved these folders, and they <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/move-548879" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MOVE">MOVE</a> without protest. I've renamed them, also with no difficulty. But one keeps reappearing after deletion, and the other will not delete at all, no matter what I do.<br/><br/>Whenever I type my Microsoft Networking logon, my customized desktop reverts to an older version, probably <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/coming-922990" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COMING">COMING</a> from the false - and supposedly empty - folder.<br/><br/>It is strange, too, because the folder is empty when I open it, yet when Windows decides to start using it, all of my icons are still there. The colors are different - displaying my old preferences - and sometimes functionality is affected, too. Sometimes it can't open zip files, for example, but other times it can. The icons are all there on my screen, but arranged very differently.<br/><br/>None of the Desktop folders (including the proper one) says it is a system folder on the property sheet. Shouldn't it be marked as such if it truly IS a system folder? Other system folders, like Favorites, are properly marked as such. Why aren't ANY of these "Desktop" folders so marked, including the real one? I can't mark the proper one as a system folder, because the "system" box is obscured on all of these folders, and can't be clicked. It's the only legitimate system folder which is like that.<br/><br/>I've used Win98SE for years, and just did a complete format of C a few weeks ago. I don't want to do it again! All my patches and stuff are installed properly.<br/><br/>I'm currently trying to unearth the malware. My question here is how can I delete this stubborn system folder which is causing me problems? Is there a DOS command I can use? I know nothing of DOS commands to speak of.<br/><br/>In other forums I am asking for help to identify which specific malware does this to people's PCs. Any clues would save me a bunch of scanning.<br/><br/>Thank you,<br/>Holly B.Google for KillBox.exe.<br/>Doing all the scans & removing the bugs is a better way to go.<br/>Are you certain the folder is false? Your operating system may have become damaged and created two desktop folders. <br/><br/>Do you have more than one account?Faster:<br/><br/>1. Press F8 while computer is booting.<br/><br/>2. Choose the option to boot to DOS.<br/><br/>3. Use DOS commands to delete the contents of the folder and to delete the folder.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/>DocThank you for replying. I do not have more than one account. Since I recently formatted C, I hardly think I've had the time to cause damage to windows. Nor have I had the time yet to install all the scanners, but I do have AVG Free running since the reformat. I also have Adaware, PCShredder, HijackThis, and others, but haven't installed them yet. That'll be done. But scanning now isn't going to address the problem I've <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/got-23540" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GOT">GOT</a>. The horse is already out of the barn.<br/><br/>I am at the moment more concerned with <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/getting-2670847" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GETTING">GETTING</a> rid of the extra Desktop folders. One person responding said to go into pure DOS and delete from there. I don't know how! I'm a DOS ignoramus. Can someone please tell me the precise command line to type? I know how to type the path, but don't know how to type the command to delete the folder.<br/><br/>Can I please have that command? It might do the trick.<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/>Holly B.</p></body></html> | |

Would this be a reasonable thing to do?<br/>And also, how would I install it using GRUB?I am using Win Xp with 128 mB RAM <br/>Why you need to replace yours???<br/>Not reasonable.I want to *dual* boot it, not replace it. <br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/mmmm-1709091" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MMMM">MMMM</a>,<br/>No problem if you use it.<br/>Coming to installation use this:<br/><a href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Multiboot-with-GRUB.html">http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Multiboot-with-GRUB.html</a><br/>Darn, I don't have a floppy drive anywhere.Wait a minute. Why you need to use GRUB to install Win 98 over Xp. You can do it in normal way. Insert disk and install.<br/>You <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/generally-471963" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GENERALLY">GENERALLY</a> use GRUB for two different OS e.g. Linux and Windows.No, I don't want to install 98 over XP. I want to dual boot XP and 98 without having to reinstall XP.Install the Win98 as usual will do. No worry. I used to have ME & XP together.Normally as a rule of thumb the older OS needs to be installed first. I have 2 dual-boot systems i use for testing in the shop and have always done it that way to get the OS's to play nice.<br/>However i just came across this little gem:<br/><a href="http://www.petri.co.il/install_windows_98_after_windows_xp.htm">http://www.petri.co.il/install_windows_98_after_windows_xp.htm</a><br/><br/>I have not had the time yet to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/bench-344143" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about BENCH">BENCH</a> test this so YMMV...<br/><br/>patio. Patio is correct on this. WIn9 needs to be on the boot partition of the first hard drive, a primary partition, unless you plan to use Partition Magic or something like that. WinXP can be on another partition. To avoid problems you need to install Win98 first, then XP. Are you <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/sure-656539" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SURE">SURE</a> all of your whizbang components have drivers for 98?<br/><br/>There may be "workarounds" but I sure wouldn't trust them !!! I'm just gonna play it safe and use VMWare.Dual booting information</p></body></html> | |

Solve : 98SE Bootup Problems? |

He's been trying to get his CH Flight Sim yoke to work, but the system simply won't recognize it; it keeps saying that it is not installed. He has a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card with a separate game port.<br/><br/>He went to the CH website and did some troubleshooting; it said that he needed to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/install-2121155" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INSTALL">INSTALL</a> DirectX.<br/><br/>And so we downloaded and installed the Direct X from Microsoft that the yoke website said he needed, and when I rebooted, right when it went to load up the desktop, a window appeared that said: "A required .DLL file, WINDOWS/SYSTEM/SHLWAPI.DLL was not found." Then when I hit enter or clicked on the "OK" thing, another window appeared that said: "Error loading Explorer.exe. You must reinstall Windows." I tried booting up in safe mode and it did the same thing. Repeatedly.<br/><br/>So what am I supposed to do with that? Was it the Direct X that did that? My husband said why didn't I just uninstall the Direct X, but I can't even do that if I can't get Windows to boot up! Do I really have to reinstall Windows and oh is he gonna have a cow, a horse, and other assorted barnyard critters if I do!<br/><br/>And the BIG question.... how did *I* get to be the computer person in this house??? The <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/sad-629140" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SAD">SAD</a> thing is that you cannot uninstall directX. Been that way for some time.

Solve : Install win98? |

I figure all is well. When I get to the point where it says remove floppy (start up disk) and windows will restart it trys to restart and then I get "invalid system disk" that just keeps repeating over and over. Why won't win98 restart and finish installing? I've tried it disk in, disk out,<br/>and changed the boot sequence in bios many times with the same result.

Maybe there is a substitute...Sorry, I didn't see this question.<br/><br/>It is a Media Forte e-pen *serial* tablet and I can't get it to work in XP.

I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/even-976335" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EVEN">EVEN</a> tried a W2000 driver. lol.

Good news! It was a bad disk! I will test it more especially as I had terrible problems getting the sound card installed. <br/><br/>I am going to take my time with this setup but I think the most crucial problem is solved. <br/><br/>But if anyone has any ideas on how to get this graphics tablet to work...I won't have to deal with W98 at all. ps...I didn't know XP doesn't format large drives to FAT32. I thought I had done that before! <br/><br/>Format Queen I find that gentle washing of the CD in luke warm water with <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/two-241629" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TWO">TWO</a> drops of mild <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/soap-11667" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SOAP">SOAP</a> solution and a soft sponge often works wonders on CDs which produce read errors.

When shutdown is selected the first time, the screen goes blue and in about one second, the desktop icons come right back. If I redo shutdown, then it shuts down.

The computer and drive engage, but the screen stays black. Adjusting the monitor does not seem to be able to help, as there is no return of the desktop even if the monitor is turned on and off.

Other spyware/adware/trojans etc. are more likely.Culpret found. It is D-Link.<br/><br/>The wusb54gv4.exe causes the shutdown problem. When the monitor is turned off and the wusb54gv4 is ended with the task manager, Windows shuts down correctly on the first try. Interrestingly enough, if the wusb54gv4 is ended without turning off the monitor first, the whole system freezes.<br/><br/>In the link by Merlin, there was a ref. to a possible D-Link "patch" from that company.
