    Disappearing hd gigs

    Disappearing hd gigs

    Windows Explorer Left Pane Goed

    After 6 years the left pane in Windows 98 explorer is blank. I use it all the time. The Forward and Back Buttons are greyed out too. There is an X which closes the pane so I know the pane is open. I've checked and unchecked everything I can find; evidently not the correct one(s). WhatshudIdo?

    Power Scheme Time Setting Mystery

    Hi- Unplugd, replugd, 3/4 hr, clock never missed a second. Never has except it gains time slowly. I think the problem is elsewhere. Here's why: I installed W98 on a different (old) comp from the same CD as for my (new) comp. Checked the serial numbers etc. Go to screen saver > settings and...

Gradually all of a sudden by now I have to reset the time...
