Working on setting up a laptop with Win98SE. The laptop (IBM ThinkPad
T41) has USB 2 ports.
Found a MASS storage driver, installed it (WinTricks Generic Storage
USB). It is suppose to be for USB2 but in reviewing transfers to a 160GB

Sorry, I know this is not the right question for this group, but I don't
know where to go and this group seems to cover general computer issues.
For a friend, I'm looking for the following memory module to add to her
laptop:

I finally retire and want to just sit and enjoy what I have not had time to
do and suddenly find out that Windows 98 is outdated and that I need to
update to keep from having these messages appear telling me I have some
errors or something?

I went to do a backup, inserted the cd and am getting an error that sayes the
system is not recognizing the device. I have no problem when I load a cd and
use it. thanks

I don't generally cross post from the IE6 group but there has been no
response so far. I'm putting this machine in a car in a couple of days and
deliverng it several hundred miles away, so I'd like to see if I can fix
this problem before that happens:

My main hard drive has 80 (nominal) gigabytes.  It is partioned into a
primary of a bit less than 8 GB, the remainder of roughly 72 GB is in
a logical drive on an extended partition.  There are about 50 GB free
on the latter.

From time to time I revisit this problem.
If I set win98 to ask the wireless router for an address, I can
wireless access the internet OK via the router.  However, I have
reasons, which I won't bore you with, for wanting to give the win98

I now have two computers
1) 1999 vintage 600Mhz box running WIN98 se, and
2) 2003 vintage 1.2Ghz box running WINXP pro/ sp2
I have the computers connected via ethernet through a hub

Need some help badly.
Yesterday my IBM PL300, 350 MZ, Win98SE system started giving me an error message:

While initializing device IOS:

I want to assign a pic to my desktop but display properties menu
browse command is not highlighted.
How can I fix??

As you start programs, Windows opens boxes in the task bar for
them.
With alternate-tab you can cycle through open windows in the
order that you accessed them.

I've been slightly souping up an old Packard Bell to sell for my
brother, but I find the CD-rom drive, which is the writeable kind,
won't read the 52 speed cd-rs I put in it.  It has a generic driver,
doI need to update it or will it not work with current cd-r's anyway?

Is it just me, or are the posts here becoming more XP slanted.  You were right PCR, pass me the foil.

What is the status of this feature today? I have not been able to access
this recently. Why? I was able sometime back to open the dcomcnfg.exe to
enable it. I have read the articles on DCOM vs .NET however some/many are
still using NT and this feature. This is enabled in Vista and ...

I have tried ALT 0128
which results in a dash.
Is there a Euro dollar symbol residing anywhere
in the character sets or fonts that will appear on my OE newsgroup postings?
