oldcomptrguy thanks for your help. Reinstall went well, time consuming but better than constant reboots. Mike

When I upgraded W98 to SE, I made a startup floppy. Have the driver discs; the only cards are AGP video, generic soundcard, and d-link wireless. There are 2 HDs; 3G and 20G, a floppy, CD-ROM. The OS is on the 20G...... I moved all the data I'm worried about onto the 3G, the programs will have...

Ok, looking through the registry there are hundreds of entries. Many for things long gone. So, maybe you can give me some advice as to the best procedure to fdisk, and reinstall w98. Just do it, baby? I think its time for that. Should I remove all the cards, or leave them? Mike

Thanks for your time on this one, I appreciate help. When the computer boots up a window comes up, "shortcut not found" and its looking for ie6setup.exe. My wife has to cancel through it, and that causes hassle for me ;-). I went back to a scanreg /restore version that was earlier...

Glad you got your problem worked out. As for me, well.....I have gone back with scanreg /restore to a kinder, gentler time. But that pointer to the failed ie6 update is still causing troubles. Fortunately 5.5 is still working, its a real hassle for my wife (her computer) to go through when it...

I was just reading the board to see if anyone had any similar problems, and there it is!! I have a failed ie6 upgrade; setup will only look on the W98 disk and not on the MS update site. I've tried every tip in the MS help screens, but somewhere is a pointer to a failed setup that I can't...

Okay, thanks guys. After a little more work, I found the C drive on the 2K was default named C$. Don't know why, but that was one problem; I made a new share named simply C. Also turned off all the NT domain log-ons; now one W98 will have a 2way conversation with the W2K. So I just have to...

No, they don't see each other. A little add: all machines ping each other. But I can't get past the password sign-ons. And I wish I knew more about this networking stuff. Do I need to have domain "turned on?" Or just all in the same workgroup? Should "log on to Win NT...

Go to grassheap and download diskeeper lite. Best thing going; it will replace the MS version and be twice as fast. http://www.grassheap.com/software.php?ID=4103

I'm using D-Link 650+, 520+,514+ system. W2K, desktop, W98SE desktop, W98SE laptop. Had problems with SB card; had to reinstall DWL520+ a couple times in the W98 desktop. Now, while I have internet access on all machines, the 2 W98s won't talk to each other or the W2K machine regarding file...
