[ctrl+alt to run recovery genius]

ive just re-installed my xp box but now im getting a screen showing press ctrl+alt to run recovery genius

can anyone tell me how to stop this coming up. the system runs swmooth and theres no errors apart from the screen i said

[direct x 9?]

No i don't think it is compatibility problem... Have you tried reinstalling?

just unistalled tycoon and rebooted. installed tycoon again ,rebooted and defrag. tried to play game and getting same error messages

[direct x 9?]

I think it's RCT3 error not dx9.... I'll check...

was thinking maybe rct3 not compatible with 98se or it may need more memory

[direct x 9?]

running 98se

[Windows ME or windows XP]

i ran m.e for around 3 years. i had no trouble with it at all. then my children wanted xp as thats what they were using at school. and thats when the problems started , pc running slow, although it was a 1.1, with 512 sdram. 40gig hard drive. virus after virus crashes physical dumps, the list is endless.now i use linux but keep a small pc running 98 se for the odd thing i cant do on my other computers

[how do i stop 98 se asking for the disc]

make a folder on your harddrive like c:\win98

copy the contents of the win98 subfolder on your windows cd to the folder you just created.

use this program to point windows to the new folder. BanishCD

Simple as that.

i cant see a win98 subfolder

all win98 cab folders and drivers etc

[how do i stop 98 se asking for the disc]

everytime i add hardware or something it always asks me for my windows disc. ive been told to add my cab files ? and this will stop it

does anyone know how to stop it asking for the cd

[BSOD, help plzz]

problem solved, it only did it twice then not since??

now got error coming up if im on internet sometimes

it says

program performed an illegal operation

iexplorer embedding

collecting information about 32bit modules

but it doesnt close

only thing i can do is restart pc

[BSOD, help plzz]

i just set up my net work and during which it asked for my windows 98se disc to finish the setup. then told me it needed to reboot. then came the BSOD. any suggestions

[netwok 98se to 98se tp xp]

PROBLEM SOLVED

heres what i did incase anyone else runs into this situation

run network setup wizard on the xp box and create start up disc, run start up disc on 98 box or boxes, it might ask for the windoes disc to finish the setup

im able to view each computer from each other

[netwok 98se to 98se tp xp]

ive 2 computers running 98se and an xp box that i need to network ive tried google but most of it goes over my head

any help appreciated

[98se updates]

il just stick with my norton, now im just working out which updates to run from mdgx.com

[computer freezes]

ive 2 computers and if i install 98se on either or xp pro on either both will freeze after a while. if ran maxtor diagnostics tool and seems fine. if i do a low level format the same happens. BUT if i put linux on either machine the problem doesnt exsist

[So what to do if and when 98SE is no longer viable?]

i myself have been using xp pro +service pack 2 for a while now with a home network consisting of 4 computers

main pc = xp pro

2nd pc= suse 10.0 +xp pro dualboot system xp hardly used on this pc

3rd +4th = 98se

out of these computers the only one i can truely say i trust is the linux box

all widows computers have registry mechanic + adaware se + norton antivirus

all are on cable broadband

to be honest i cant wait to put all on linux but the kids like the sims which i havent got working on suse yet

[98se updates]

ive got a couple of old DELL optiplex gx1 desktop computers i use in my workshop. there all networked to my main computers in the house 1=xp pro the other linux suse 10.0

my problem is i re-installed the 98 se computers and tried to put my new macaffee internet security software on but it asked for internet explorer 6 or higher. i opened windowsw update and was told there not updating 98 anymore

whats to happen to usw users that like the 98se os
