    Help!! Problem accessing *.dwg file.

    I second the vote for TurboCad. I didn't even think of it, but that probably the smallest download of a working program that is similar to autocad

    Windows 98 Explorer locks up after deleting large amounts of files

    Ouch I hope somebody has an answer, but I personally felt like it might be one of those things I have to live with or that there was a manually installed patch burried somewhere on their website. Gee, I miss XTree

    Help!! Problem accessing *.dwg file.

    Yeah, that's an Autocad file. Autocad is several thousand dollars. Their website is at autodesk.com. They have a cheaper version called Autocad LT. You may be able to download a demo of that. They may also have a viewer available there. I have a demo of a 3d program that I got at...

    98 boot disk from other machine

    No the individual computers settings aren't even on that disk, It's just a bootable disk with some dos utility files on it and most importantly, some files to run almost any cd-rom from the dos boot up. I use the win98se boot disk to restart everything, it's a good choice. You can make one by...

    How do I copy all the files/data/OS to a Second hard drive?

    Just copy the partition bit for bit and forget about the files. Go to download.com and get one of the 2 free programs either HDCopy or Partition Saving. Both will copy a partition to another HD and make it boot like the first one. The second program lets you save this HD info to a file that...

    How do I make a CD bootable ?

    Yeah, I don't think you can just copy those system files. That doesn't work for floppies for sure. I have windows 98 and Nero Burning ROM and I just goto control panel/add remove programs/create startup disk to make a bootable floppy, then i put a cd in my burner, fire up Nero and turn the...

    multiple hard drive recognition

    Definitely don't reformat the one you backed your info up to. win98 should install fine on a fat 16 drive and you can always convert that first drive to fat 32 when you are done (although it may be better to get a win98 boot floppy from someone and fdisk/format the first one to fat32 before you...

    Make it so logon cant be bypassed

    I think you are looking for the proper windows networking way to do this, but heres what I know about keeping people off the machine at boot up. I tried this and it has a password lock in the MBR at the bios boot level that I imagine would be hard to get around... It's here http://xosl.org/...

    How do I reinstall win98 from dos when CDrom no found.

    If you have access to another machine go to Control Panel / Add remove programs / click the startup disk tab and in there you can create a disk that will boot your cd rom If not, you have to make some kind of a bootable floppy and put mscdex on it and the blah.sys driver for the cdrom and then...

    Hard drive back-up?

    I'm not sure if microsofts backup will restore your disk to a bootable state unless you have reinstalled windows. And hey who wants to do that? I just found a way to backup my drive so that I can wipe it out completely and and restore it in 20 minutes and it boots up with everything installed...
