    Service Pack 1

    Hi again, Dual boot XP and Vista. I can install any Vista updates except service pack 1. It gets to 98%. Jumps to 100% then, reverts changes as "some changes could not be completed, Reverting changes, Will retry on startup". Any ideas? Thanks. You guys are the best. Ed

    Get back to normal boot

    Hi all. I installed Vista on a seperate partition from the DVD. After trying and not being able to find any connection to the internet, I decided to give it up and delete the install from XP. All I need to know is how to get rid of the windows (Vista) choices at the boot screen. My usual boot...

    Maximize IE

    Probably simple but the answer is passing me by. in 98 and XP if I "open in new window" using IE 6.0 the new window(s) always open about 1/4 the screen size. How would I get them to be max'ed all the time? TIA Ed

    Scandisk found&repaired prob. now 98 wont start

    Can I safely Format and install 98SE with XP on the same HD ? I suppose I'll have to fix the MBR after to be able to get to XP again. No?

    Scandisk found&repaired prob. now 98 wont start

    No. Cant do a thing. I tried it all. Installed (upgraded) to ME last night. At least I can still use the programs that I was running under 98. Now I have a new problem. every time dialup connects ME reboots. Im off to the forums to (hopefully) find a fix.

    Scandisk found&repaired prob. now 98 wont start

    Good thing I dual boot or I couldnt ask for help. When 98se begins to start I get a quick flash of the start screen then C: with a rapidly blinking cursor. XP starts with no problem. Any answer but reinstall. Both OS's are on the same HD. Thanks Ed
