I can see all the files. There is nothing *.pwd in Windows 2000 on this computer.

I've got both OS's installed and am trying to "migrate" over to Win2k from the 98 partition. I need the password list from Win98. You know, the one that stores all your User IDs and PWs for different websites. I thought I could just copy it over but I don't find a .pwl file in Win2k (even though...

In Windows 98SE, the first time I try to connect to the internet after starting my computer, most of the time the port opens but the modem doesn't dial. I have to click "Cancel" on the dial up connection then click "Connect" again, and then about 90% of the time it goes as far as "Verifying user...

I still haven't had the presence of mind to actually keep track of how much time passes before the sound goes bad after starting the computer. My best guess is around 3 hours. It happens every time the computer is long enough.

It happens regardless if I am using the computer or it's idle. I don't use screensavers normally. I have not actually timed it to see if it always occurs a specific number of hours + minutes after starting up, but it seems to take something like between 2½ to 3 hours. It's not an intermittent...

"Reads really bad" isn't the same as "aggressive" in my mind. Since I can't figure out how to please, maybe you would be happier ignoring my posts.

I just read back over all my reply posts, scanning for any wording that might be (mis)construed as aggressive. Alas, I must be missing something.... :-(

Well the problem will probably be solved, yet I will always wonder what caused it.

I sent the PM. What an angel you are!

1.) My sound card has always been in PCI Slot 4. 2.) I don't hear crackling when data is being moved or copied. There's never any crackling sound. All the stuff I read at that VIA forum mentions crackling. This sound is totally different. And it is not an intermittent thing. Once the "time...

I was editing my previous replying as you were posting this latest :-)

So do I. Wishing many great blessings on whoever helps me resolve it.

I posted it elsewhere and it was ignored. It really bothers me. I've been searching for an answer since September already. If it was the speakers, I think it would sound bad all the time. But all I have to do is reboot to make it go back to normal. Time is the only factor that seems to bring...

Very hard to describe.... You ever seen paper coming out of a paper shredder? Imagine sound being shredded like that. And it reverberates, too. It's actually painful to listen to.

But it comes from someone with very little experience. I read some of these posts that mention using a partition for backups.... I thought if the HD crashed, the whole thing would be useless? Isn't it a better idea to backup the important stuff onto a 2nd physical drive?
