    I know this seems silly, but I keep losing my wallpaper (as selected using the display utility in the Control Panel). It stays around for a few hours or a day and it disappears. it does not come back when the system is rebooted. I have to go back into the CP, unselect my chosen wallpaper...

    98SE EXPLORER Corrupt?

    Thanks again... BTW, my BIOS tells me when someone is asking to write to the bootsector, not afterward....based on the msg and I have to say OK write, or deny that write. At least that is how it seems to work to me. Jerry

    98SE EXPLORER Corrupt?

    Are you saying that I should disable the Bios Anti-Virus function? Is Win98 really trying to write to my boot sector and I should allow it? Thanks for taking the time to help.... Jerry

    98SE EXPLORER Corrupt?

    Thanks for the advice, now an update. The error is a fatal exception at 0028:000000009 (I think that is the right number of zeros) and it stops everything forcing a reboot.

    Which HD drivers to use.

    I recently installed a new Jetway 720bf AT MB into my computer. It uses an SiS 620 chipset. Using the installation CDROM it installed SiS harddrive controller and drivers. For whatever reason, it recommends that these drivers be replaced by the OS (using Win 98SE) drivers to gain added...

    Jim, you were spot on. After eading some other threads it seemed that this was related to the USB drivers.
