Thanks, but I really didn't want to have to go into fdisk and start formatting the disk. I recall a command line you could use at the DOS prompt, to fool the bootup process into thinking the Win98 CD was the correct source and to load the OS. I used this about a year ago to install Win98 over...

I have a new HP laptop w/ XP installed. Didn't want it that way but since it arrived w/ XP loaded I thought I'd give it a try. After a week of use I've decided I'd rather have 98. Also, many of my programs, such as NU 2001, Norton AV, Outlook 98, etc., aren't compatible on XP so I have to...

Posted this topic befoe but no one responded. I gotta believe SOMEONE has an answer. Trying to install MS Publisher 2K on machine running WIN98 + Office 97. Keep getting a dialog box with a header reading: "Microsoft Publisher 2000 Installation: Fatal Error". Within the dialog box is a...

Trying to install MS Publisher 2K on machine running WIN98 + Office 97. Keep getting a dialog box with a header reading: "Microsoft Publisher 2000 Installation: Fatal Error". Within the dialog box is a message that states "Installation ended prematurely because of an error". I checked...

OK. Now I know where to start. Thanks everyone. I appreciate the help.

Thanks for the quick info. You mention the "newer T-Birds and Durons are in Socket A form as opposed to Slot A". I know the K7M is a Slot A so how do I ensure I get a Slot A T-Bird? Is there a code or brand on the CPU? Thanks again for your input.

I'm running an Athlon 600 on an Asus K7M mobo. I thought I might go with one of the 900Mhz CPUs but I really don't know what is the difference between the Athlon, Duron and Thunderbird CPUs. I'm inclined to go with the Thunderbird since I can get the best price on that. Anyone care to offer...

I recently upgraded from MP 6.4 to ver 7. Everything worked fine until yesterday. It kept hanging after initially opening. After running Norton scandisk and speedisk a few times it runs now but only if I click on a file, and even then I can only view or listen. No other controls are...

HELP - How can I format numbers to display as currency in Word 97? TIA for any help.

Thanks for all the input. I'll be sure to read the links. As little as I know about the subject I didn't think the RAM was tied to the System Resources, at least not very much. I use a RAM optimizer and vitually every time I run it to restore my RAM the System Resources remains mostly...

Can someone help me out here? How should I interpret the System Resources value? I've seen values ranging from 54% to 93%, yet I really don't see much of a difference in overall system performance. What exactly is the System Resources function telling me? How can I keep the value high w/o...

I'd like to use my Power Management app in Win 98 but the standby mode doesn't do anything. The HD and monitor shutdown feature will activate but won't respond to mouse or keyboard activity in order to restore to powered on mode. I end up having to press the start button to reboot. I tried...
