Ok I have returned from the trojan hell, after 2 days of reloading, formatting and burning eyes. I had been a victim ofa trojan attack, since the weekly update of virus definitions from Norton came down Wednesday>THEN my AV prog found the problem with things that dont work like cd players. I...

Happened Tues nite, worked 3hrs on it. Is there a new virus out that Norton cant see? I learned to run regedit/restore earlier today, backed upa couple of days and now it works, but not totally correct. I should've said CDRW instead of cdrom. I can now move files to cdrws but hangs up when I...

Cant access CDROM-sometihng has removed the driver.A/V prog finds nothing. Cant load driver frm cd of course. How can I fix this? Startup screen says something about Removed by windows setup ---IDCD0000:l Frustrating.. thanks for any info , Ive searched till Im tired TOnyH

New laser printer driver install prob in win98se. Driver installs with supplied CD>when choosing USB connection, it 'creates' a port called Dot4_001,002 etc. Printer works, but using configuration utility I cant change settings>The APPLY button is greyed out, it seems to change the paper size...

Yeah, thanks wolluf I understand now what it means. I didnt when I started this thread. After 5-6hrs of research into USB,mobos, windows and linux it became a little clearer.Documentation with new mobo doesnt make that clear to computer-building newbies haha. thanks for the reply too tony

This is a puzzle to me-I have new computer that I am setting up to run linux on (no windows drive in it) but the MOBO has a driver disk that has USB drivers I need to install>but its windows format only. I have d/l the .exe file frm the MOBO site, it will fit on a floppy. How can i load it into...

Thks Win98User, I have read that before on the HP site...appreciate that reminder. TonyH

Ok Im convinced the RAM was bad. Printed 106pages this afternoon, nothing happened. SO far, So good. Beware where you get your RAM!! Thanks everyone for assisting. TonyH

thanks Killowhat, I didnt choose the motherboard lol it came with the puter(before I knew enough about them to pick) Anyway I just wanted someting in place of ONBOARD video which was suckingup CPU cycles. I think it did help my win98shutdown crashing, it hangs up much less now that I have this...

Yep I tried that . This Phoenix bios doesnt give you an option to disable the onboard video-It gives an option of assigning 512 or 1MB memory to it, but when i dig further I find no option to disable it.I thought all the BIos would let u do that. I just hoped that plugging in a video card, would...

Tried to follow directions installing this video card, uninstalling references to Intel on-board video (HP Pavilion 8543C, 3yrs old 192KBram 466 celeron) But WIn98SE keeps tryin to re-install "Generic PCI graphics adapter" on reboot. I installed the ATI drivers from their cd, but I...

Further on this one: have over 6gb free space on the hard drive. Just pulled out one of the 128K sticks of ram (that may be suspect-"KINGSTON-Ram purchased at OfficeMax) and put back in a 64 I got from Crucial. Printed 10pages for a test-no problemo. If I can keep this thread open I will...

ok got it up to 73% now thats about the best its been i think. This might be a side-issue-but can display adapter have any relations to this---i just noticed under the hardware manager, i was showing 2 display adapters. one said Generic PCI graphics adapter and had a QuestionMark symbol overit...

THanks guys, i think i will swap out that last 128KB stick of ram and see if it matters, but I believe it was doing that before I ever changed any RAM. It was operating with 128K before I got this new satellite net service, but when I noticed it was running at 59% at rest I decided i better...

yep only had 128K ram in it when I got the Direcway Satellite net service, which knocked performance down to something like 59%, so I pulled the 64k sticks out and replaced with 128k sticks (its only got 2 memory slots)This is PC100 sdram. First I only got one stick, going up to 192k but that...

Hey its junk lol mostly. 466celeron, up till now its suited what I did with it though. Not running anything special other than USB printer.(inkjet) SOundblaster PCI512 soundcard, ATI expert128 video card, generic network card. I think that printing these large document packages might be just...

HP PAvillion 8543C, max ram (256) Win98SE running Direcway satellite internet software. USB printer (LexZ55). While printing documents (10=60pages) occassionaly computer just dies. Like pulling the power cable, it just shutsdown. Only recent changes were addition of the sat internet progs(eats...

OK-figured out the first half of it now, the network card is in, it is detected, and drivers installed. PCI slot 2~! For some reason, even when it felt like it was seated-it wasnt,so no connection. Better flashlight revealed it was not all the way in the slot, so once again, something simple...

Ok, curious turn of events. Took out soundcard -slot3, rebooted-no video,no boot. Tookout soundcard, replaced network card in slot2, also tried in slot3 -no video-no boot.(Seems, after pulling out hair,I bumped/loosened vido card, after rechecking it was seated properly-win98 boots again.) Back...

Win98user--prob u are right. I will try the swapout. Idont know whether I should officially "remove the soundcard"using the device manager or not though. Guess I'll see whathappens. I know looking at the networking thing--it still lists this new network card,even though i pulled it...
