I just purchased a lot of computers from a school surplus.  Old 133
machines that have win98 and win95.  Apparently they have
administrative restrictions on them.  For example, I can't access the
start menu, it just gives me the option to log off or shut down; can't

I am going to install Office XP but I wanted to make sure not to have extra
fluff from the installation along the way.  Can people help by giving me
pointers on the best way to have a clean install without too much extra
garbage and features that I will not use.  Thanks in advance.

This evening, after rebooting my computer because the screen "froze," I
discovered that ALL of my AOL "favorites" have been lost, in ALL screen
names. Can anyone help me find and restore them?

I closed down Win98 as usual, but when I tried to start up again it hangs as
soon as the Microsfot Windows 98 screen comes up. The machine has not been
moved.
I have tried holding down CTRL, tried all the F numbers, an putting a non

I work at a community college and we are experiencing a major boot up
problem. When we boot the PC’s up the majority of them have to be booted at
least 2 or more times to do a complete boot. They are getting hung somewhere
between the DOS boot and the Windows boot. I have tried ...

How do I go about reformatting my PC? I have a 500mhz, 384mb RAM Compaq
Presario in my room that is messing up and wont even boot right. It needs a
clean sweep anyways because I have so much crap on it, and I have a Windows
98 install disc so I just need to format. I can get into ...

Sometimes audio will not work. There is no particular pattern to it except
to say its not a lead problem or dirty socket. Even the warning bells etc
go. Resetting the computer brings them back,...any idea what is going on?
Thanx,..Jason

I just thought I would put a web-link to the Windows 98, 98SE and ME lifeline
which continues critical updates until 30 June 2006.  Apparently, the

I'm having problems trying to get 'shortcut keys' to work, in Win98SE.
Sometimes, (only, sometimes) I can get them to work, intermittently,
when set-up in a Start Menu item, but, after a reboot, they'll always
fail. Does anyone have a solution for this most vexing problem?

Am trying to re-load win98 but am getting not enough memory
This is imppossible since I show plenty of unused
memory on my har drive. I also disablefed my virus
protection with same result.

If I may drop in....... and I dont know how to use this version of "Ghost" in
my w98se, so I am trying to uninstall the above.  I use the "uninstall" but
it give me this message
"Uninstall log folder not found.

At some point (not sure when) my friend lost the ability to right
click on the start button and click explore.  The only option not
greyed out is find.  How can this be restored?  Thanks

"cannot import c:/windows/sp.dll: error opening the file.
there may be a disk or file system error"
what do i do?

Ok, Win2k lied to me. I told Win2k setup to upgrade my machine from
Win98SE to Win2k and goto NTFS too. Well, it only partly listened...Its
now NTFS, but it did a clean install of Win2k. So most of my settings
for programs are not available because they reside in the old user.dat

Does anyone know if Microsoft has any adapters or drivers that allow a
gameport Force Feedback Joystick to work with XP? The joystick was originally
made for  Windows 98.Thanks
