    Surprise Removal of Device

    Can you access the BIOS and see if it is recognised there? I would be surprised if it isn't since you can access it.Just a thought.

    CD drives disappear (win98 and winME)

    Go to Grisoft .com and download and run AVG.Follow the prompts and you will soon find ut if it is a virus and should get rid of it. If AVG cannot delete the virus, type the name of the virus into a search engine and see where you go.Dave

    Runs slow

    I am baffled by your description of the Operating System, is it Windows 98 or Windows XP? You should certainly empty Temporary Internet files and Cookies as suggested byDearingKR above, paragraph2

    Modem not working

    Apart from the obvious question "Have you loaded the correct drivers" have you been to Control Panel and properly configured the modem. One thing immediately springs to mind, Have you selected the correct Country in the setup, Also, if it won't work on Com port1 try Com port 2. Good luck......Dave

    cdroms won't detect

    Go to the BIOS and set the detection of drives to AUTO. This should enable the CD Rom. I am presuming the connections never got disturbed otherwise it wouldn't work at all.

    wuser2 caused a general protection fault

    Why not reload mmsystem.dll either from a dll site on the net or from your Win 95 disc. It is loaded in your C:/Windows/System file. mmsystem may be corrupted........Dave

    Space fluctuations.

    I agree. It certainly sounds as if yoiu have a virus replicating itself. Run your virus checker and kill it. Failing that you may need to reformat and reload. You will not have enough room to downloaD a virus checker and run it. If you do not have a virous checker, there is a decent one at...

    Don't want dial-up connection on startup

    Yeah, What he said, but go to Start/Run and type msconfig and click the Startup Tab. Uncheck any entries that you don't want to open on Startup because one of these is trying to connect to the net.Cheers..dave

    Install XP Pro

    I have picked up a computer who's HDD is formatted and I want to load WinXP Pro. Can I load straight on or do I need a boot disk of some sort to load the CD Rom drivers and are there any other traps. I know about checking compatability of software but is there anything else I should know?..Dave

    Install Tweakui

    Yes, I am using the right-click/Install function and have used Add/Remove to get rid of the partial install. I have tried pointing to Tweakui.inf and it still says it can't find it. Will try your other suggestions this weekend. Thank you for taking the time to reply.....Dave from Oz

    Install Tweakui

    I have been valiantly trying to load Tweakui but keep getting a message that says Cannot find tweakui.inf when it is 75% loaded. The file it is looking for is the file that you right click on to install it. Has anybody else experienced this problem? I am trying to load it into Win98SE and have...

    Upgrading Windows 98 to XP

    All of the above makes sense, but I know you can upgrade and keep current programs but the important thing to bear in mind is that some software and drivers may not work with XP. Check it out first...Dave
