    Windows 98SE Suddenly Won't Boot With 2GB RAM

    Glen9999, Thank you. I did what your referenced link prescribes in the first "I got it to work and this is how I did it!" assertion, but Windows 98SE behaves much as it did when I simply altered the VCACHE settings and booted normally. It produces quite a few problems. 1. 98SE immediately...

    Windows 98SE Suddenly Won't Boot With 2GB RAM

    This is the old "Windows 98SE won't run with 2 GB of RAM" problem. The usual solution offered on-line is an adjustment to system.ini under [vcache]. I did that, setting a minimum in the 50K range and a max in the 524K range. Windows 98SE still won't boot with 2 GB of RAM after that change...

    Boot.ini Problem, Dual Boot, Under Win XP AFTER Clone

    Vacunita (and others): First, answering questions: 1. BIOS sees all hard drives, automatically identifies them, and sets them up, in automatic mode. I don't have to designate master or slave in BIOS. 2. Hard drives are EIDE. 3. Old, smaller hard drive was master. Newer, larger hard...

    Boot.ini Problem, Dual Boot, Under Win XP AFTER Clone

    Oh, my... It's gotten worse. I tried to "fix it". Now what is wrong doesn't even begin to make sense to me. 1. I used EASEUS (Partition Master) in an attempt to clone my present drive (c:, d:, and e: directors with Windows 98SE on c: and Windows XP on d:) to a newer, larger drive, to...

    Boot.ini Problem, Dual Boot, Under Win XP AFTER Clone

    I have copies of Windows XP and Windows 98SE on a dual boot system. I just upgraded to a larger hard drive. Now I can only boot from the menu (which looks the same as it did on the other drive) to Windows XP. When I select Windows 98SE from the boot selection menu, the screen seemed to go...

    Old User, Needs to Remember Old Tricks Hi, I wrote the piece of code that follows. I hadn't touched C in years. I'd like to fill in the "blanks" that I wall-papered over to make ths work on my own. For example: 1. What is the difference between a "double" and a "long double" in terms of the...

    Windows 98SE - Tries to Install Phantom Modem

    I am using an Omnibook XE2. Windows 98SE. Ran Microsoft Update. Downloaded two ESS sound/modem drivers. Windows 98SE, on boot-up when first starting Windows, claims to see a new modem device. It can't find driver. I can't stop this "install screen" from coming up. Any advice on how to...
