    Cannot Open MS Word 2000

    Your Word template document has become corrupted. Do a search for "Normal.dot" and rename it to "Normal.old". This will rewrite the Word template. Word should open correctly.

    windows 98 rebooting problem

    Two causes for the shutdowns that I can think of... 1. Power supply..may not be running properly or not enuff juice to run every peripheral. 2. Memory error .. memory fills up and craps out. Hope either helps.

    An exception Ocurred at 0028:C001D782

    Since the Athlon XP 2100+ runs at 1.73GHz, my guess is that Windows 98 SE is the problem. I have found that after speeds of 1.6 GHz upgrading to Win2000 or XP is your most likely solution.

    can't remove or uninstall software that has uninstall software...

    One application that goes un-noticed is Marketscore (formerly netsetter). This installs with some versions of AOL. The typical way to know if it was installed is to run a find for the file NSCHECK.EXE. Usually in the C:\windows\system folder. If it is there, you want to uninstall it. To do so...

    XP and 98 networking problems

    Try adding the user that logs into the Win98 machine to the XP and give it administrator rights. Both should see each other if everything else is correct.

    Windows 98se won't shut down

    Have had a similar experience lately when updating my girlfriend computer. Seems that there were file conflicts from her previous version of Win98 and Second Edition. First I ran this link to test the shutdown. Second I simply reinstalled her VB6.0 files and ran a repair on Internet Explorer...

    What is "winkhtq.exe" and why is it on my computer?

    Unfortunately, your agent has the Klez and Elkern viruses. Pesky things, keeps coming back if it isn't cleaned correctly. You might want to download this removal tool from Symantec. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.removal.tool.html The removal tool will...

    Networking 2 WIN98SE machines

    Any time I have trouble seeing other computers that I just networked and I AM sure that the cables are not at fault. I simply put the IP's and Hostnames in both the HOSTS and LMHOSTS files on both computers and that clears that up. 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 main 192.168.1.2 bash...

    Blue Screen of Death in Win 98se pentium IV

    You neglected to say what speed your P4 was. I have seen P4 1.6 GHZ + have problems simply with Windows 98. Perhaps you may want to consider moving to Windows XP. the error you are having concerns the Virtual Memory Manager. Win XP uses multi-threading as opposed to multi-tasking in Win 98 and...

    Format Harddrive yet keep some programs?

    Copying ALL the registry entries of ONE program is a chore, let alone several. I would simply format c: and reinstall my sys, then reinstall the programs (D: drive) to re-enter the ini's and registry entires.

    Rebuild of system, old HD, No cd recognition

    The problem might be simply in your IDE controller drivers for the new board. If you have the CD that came with it and it has an IDE utility, run that and see if it clears up your cd-rom problem.

    IDE #2 Problems

    You never did mention just what chipset your motherboard was using. If it was an Intel chipset, you could've used the Intel IDE Utility to correct the problem. It can be found on the Intel site. http://developer.intel.com/design/software/drivers/platform/inf.htm
