While on the phone with my internet provider tech support
(my bell sympatico internet provider which I have had for
for 4 years will make a connection but will not transmit
bytes back and forth) I was asked to type "route print"

Hi - It appears my Registry is "too big" to run scanreg /fix  (8.9MB).
Is there any way to trim it?  I already did a scanreg /opt  
EasyCleaner identifed 330 "unneeded" entries, but I'm a little scared to
try it, as if it gets one wrong it may be weeks before I know.

This may seem like a silly question, but for some reason I
don't have the "new" option under my File tab anymore to
create new folders. It was there yesterday. Any
suggestions on how to create folders again? Thanks.

I discovered, 7 days late, that the date on my clock had

Hi, I've recently discover that my "new" commands our
missing from tthe file menu in windows explorer.  It a
bummer.  I can't create any folders on my drive.  I had to
put a shortcut to winfile just to be able to add folders.  

About 40% of the time my computer will not complete
loading Windows, hangs up on screen listing the driver.  I
need to turn power off, restart in safe mode, power down
correctly and restart.  

I remember when I loaded Win 98 on a 2.5 GHz system I
built, that there was a patch file you had to load to get

with the following error:

How do I fix this?

Can I download something from MS.com that will allow my
Windows 98 PC to recognize a Memory Key plugged into a
USB port as a drive, so I can transfer data to a new PC?
If so, where is it?
