Three computers, one recently built, two other very stable units for 3-4 years and all three suddenly have the same exact problem. Two were using SmartLink Modems, which for some reason, will cause windows (ME) to lose modem and have to reinstall drivers on start up. Have tried other modems, but...

I've just discovered that the copy of my 98SE Disk is missing at least one key file (Command) and probably more. Does this mean the system files are missing and if so what I do I do next attempt to make sure that the backup 98 disk is functional??? -P

PC, no name, I put together did fine until windows 98 went from scandisk check to setup will now whatever windows 98 setup, progress bar to 100%, then freeze. Over and over, changed CD, A Drive, Cables, Ram. I was wondering should this happen again with all different hardware parts, how to...

What a great forum. Question of the hour: 1)Will a motherboard power up without a battery? 2) Can a battery have reversed polarity and if so, can it affect a motherboard, i.e. 'won't hit a lick, but did 2 weeks ago just fine' ?? Puzzled, -P

Storage 3.2 HDrive suddenly showed bad clusters, so much that windows would announce this upon start up every time and try to run scandisk. Replace drive, but my question is just how related are 'bad clusters' and 'bad sectors' ??? Surface scan showed 2, then after fix, showed 1 bad cluster...

What on earth could cause a perfectly normal, not in use CDRW Acer 12x8x32 to think it should be recording, i.e. the RED LIGHT came on=comp froze up. No recording here in at least a week, but plenty of freezes lately. Ran AVG, no virusi or trojans showing. Am I in the twilight zone? - P

How does one ' go back to how' the store bought harddrive was? Is there a wiping software, preferably free, that actually does this? How about the bios? How does one restore it to orginal? Is flashing the only way? More curious than ever, - Pinnochio

Hello. A few weeks ago, I did a scanreg - restore on up till then problem free comp #2. That cured sudden cursor freezes, but when view registries came up, the 4 listed were from last year, last june when I did a reformat. What could have caused windows 98se to have ceased updating its own...
