Has there been a upgrade of windows 98 to windows 98se?
Would like to install a wireless router and adapter that
requires windows 98se.

On this W98 machine, the control panel window has
suddenly started taking about 30 seconds or more to open.
Any ideas why this would happen?
Thanks.

I have Windows 98 and need to reload factory settings.
My Windows 98 came preloaded, with a Recovery Disk that
is unreadable from within Windows.
On the disk it is indicated that you must boot directly

When I play PC games on my computer, the game manufacturer
suggests that you shut down all background tasks except
for Explorer and Systray.  However, when I try to close
out tasks such as Qttask, Rundll32, Findfast, Lwemon,

My son's computer is full of junk.  How can I reformat
the whole thing and start over?
I have the recovery disks.
Thanks so much!

I'M RUNNING WINDOWS 98, IT TAKES UP TO 7 MINUTES TO BOOT UP.
MY PERFORMANCE IN ALWAYS DOWN TO LOW 70%  WHAT CAN I DO TO
HELP THIS?

about every 5 minutes or so, we get this message about how
explorer has performed an illegal operation and will be
shut down. we can't do anything.. not even use the shift
key without this thing going haywire. we have scanned for

I continue to receive an error message box during start up
that  says:
AVSYNMGR: This program has performed an ilegal opertaion
and will be shut down....

My computer starts up slow... I think I may have to many
items opening at start up and bogging down my available
resources unnecessarily. How can I change eliminate
programs from starting when I boot up.

I downloaded the bootlog delays and failures. The list is
to long for here. Can you e-mail me a e-mail address that
I can send you a copy of whats it's doing. You can e-mail
me at johnghannsz@hotmail.com  I know I'm asking a lot but

after my Win98-system is booting, there are about 30 seconds hard-disk activity.
i used a file-monitor and it showed, that the process "explorer" reads every
startmenu-entry and reads data from every exe,htm,hlp-...file that has a link in
my startmenu.

Can't get Start Menu to come up; Therefore I can't
shutdown my computer. ? ? ?

Whatever this is - it causes my computer to STOP, CRASH,
I cannot perform maintenance, it appears to be totally
stalling my computer at every turn. What is it? How did I
get it? and Do I need it?

Hi all,
I have a PC that's using win98 and it keep restarting
itself after I shut it down. I've been having this problem
for a while now. Dose anyone know how to fix this.
