    That's what I think it is, is the registry. I wish that I had the forsight to backup the registry so that I'd have had an easy time importing all that.

    Help! Win98se install problem. Please respond, quickly!!!

    Are you entirely sure about that? I see that you're a diamond member, and I'm sure that you've seen it all, but I had gotten a reply from another forum that by reinstalling into the c:\windows directory will fix my problems. Right now, I'm seeing missing DLLs for every application. But not all...

    Help! Win98se install problem. Please respond, quickly!!!

    Please don't ask details about how I've ended up to where I'm at now. I've got no time to explain. I did a Win98se install from a genuine MS CD-ROM onto a system that had been upgraded from Win95 to Win98 with an upgrade disk. Instead of installing into the existing C:\Windows folder, I chose...

    In MS WinME, screen goes black after bootup splash sreen. Why?

    I've found the answer. It was something in the boot section of the system.ini file. More specifically, it was a line that didn't show up in my copy 'n paste of the system.ini file at all. It was, display.drv=pnpdrvr.drv, which is the display driver of course. Derr! Now that I've got that figured...

    In MS WinME, screen goes black after bootup splash sreen. Why?

    I've narrowed the problem down to my system.ini file. Can someone tell me which part I don't need? I've got it posted below: [boot] system.drv=system.drv drivers=mmsystem.dll user.exe=user.exe gdi.exe=gdi.exe sound.drv=mmsound.drv dibeng.drv=dibeng.dll comm.drv=comm.drv mouse.drv=mouse.drv...

    In MS WinME, screen goes black after bootup splash sreen. Why?

    I'm working on a friends computer that was infected with the Klez virus. It was working for her the other day, but now won't boot up past the splash screen. My first task was to innoculate the virus. I took out the HD, and slaved it in my isolated computer. I then ran NAV on it, and got most of...

    I just put my new computer together... I have some small issues.

    I agree with chefjoe. It sounds to me that during your XP install, the installation process was smart enough to partition and format your C drive. However, it wouldn't do anything with your slave drive. You would have to manually format that drive yourself. Click Start, right-click on My...

    Win2k Server Password Problem!!!

    Without his password, there is no way that you can access it. According to your previous experience, it sounds as though you're looking to do a format followed by a clean install. Why couldn't you just reinstall with the OS CD. If his CD-ROM is bootable, then boot off of that. If not, then use...

    I understand that the card should be available on the market sometime if February. For those who are lucky enough to get their grubby little paws on one, how much cash do they need to dish out? I've heard that it would be somewhere in the $300 range. If anybody knows more than that, please...

    How can I stop Netscape from starting?

    I've checked those already, and they are set appropriately. I'm really stumped on this one. Why does Netscape automatically open the profile login on occasion? Anyway, I'm hoping that someone can help to solve this mystery.
