Hi Ctrl-X, Thanks for the advise. I'll look for other relevant advise.

Hi all, I bought a $10 USB bluetooth dongle from a vendor. I like its size being slim and compact. Thinking to get it works with my Nokia phone. I tried it on my PC; 1st, It only detected as other device; as ISSCBTA 2nd, it runs on bluesoleil only, which a lousy application. Does not reconize by XP. 3rd, Need manual config bth.inf to force XP to reconize. (I still not able to config it correctly; erorr code 43 prompted. May be I still miss out something... Any of your guys got this dongle and works on your XP?

Hi Ctrl-X, Thought msjava is part of the windows component; JVM(java virtual machine)? Will dig more info...Thx

Hi all, Recently I got a error message said msjava.exe is missing. It might due to anti-virus and anti-spywares clean-up I did recently. I discovered some ad-wares & spywares in the sys, so I do hse cleaning.. Hopefully you can see the attached error message. I have do some intensive search but very disappointed that less than handfull explaination for how to recover, restore, repair and reinstall. I need gurus advise how to restore the msjava.exe to my win2k. Thanks.

Hi os2fan2, Thank you for you input. I did try on my another PC runs on win98 and still the same; the particular file couldn't copy. It prompted it couldn't read the file. I'll try to install the iosbuster, and ASPI too. See if these will solve my problem. Thx. Regards, Simon

Hi all, Recently I tried to backup a old game but was encountered a problem; "cannot copy data:invalid ms-dos function". My PC has 2 CD-R0M; one is a Lite-on DVD burner and a normal CD-ROM dr. I run Win2K as OS. Is there solution to solve this problem? Appreciated your advise.

May be it was corrupted because in my other pc also didn't show any icons. I downloaded frm 'majorgreek' one of the servers. Less chance my pc is infected by virus cause I got few protected layers. B) Thx for the advise though. Will download again.

Hi Gape, Something funny, appeared to be a wrong ver. on sesp202en.. Please see the attached image. Is it caused by a corrupted file? Please advise.

Hi, I tried to install network cards on my XP PC but was crashed when I tried to connect 2 networks. I use 1st network(on board) to do my job and planed to install 2nd network card due to different servers. When both of them connected together, the system looks hang but it's not. It just response very slow. Once I disconnect one of them and it allows me to acess. If I unplug one of them and restarted again. When I try to connect the unplug one back to the network point. The PC will prompted a "blue screen" and I couldn't do anything at all except cold boot! I looked at my bios IRQ and it seems normal. When I looked at "my device manager", it showed 2 network card are there and without any error. I used dynamic address. Anyone has the same promble as I do?

Hi, I got this strange problem; blue screen..alright I know 20rc3 is designed to fix this but let me explained more; It sounded starnge because last nite I want to install a software application. When I right clicked and went into a window, normally the "have disk" and a blank column. So I clicked the "have disk", a few sec of clicking sound will heard from floppy dr. If the dr can't find any floppy it'll prompted to browse. So I can look for other drivers for the installation. This for normal operation. My problem is when clicked "have disk", after the floppy drive read and it went into a blue screen. I tried a few times for the same method to other softwares but no luck. Resort to reboot my win98se. I attached a captured image of the error message.

Hi Gape, I uninstalled the Nvidia and cleaned up whatever Nvidia left as suggested. Reinstalled my graphic card driver again when windows prompted. But unfortunate, the problem still persist. It failed to load when 1st time I power up the PC, strange.. I assumed you mention the AGP driver is for mthbrd. I updated the VIA latest mthbrd driver already but the laoding of Nvidia still failed. Just want to know when I reinstalled the nvidia driver, do I need to reinstall the 20rc3 again? Thx.

Hi Gape, The problem still persist; most of the time 98SE doesn't load the graphic driver. It shows 16 color. After I repeated the power up and tried to log(bootlog.txt) it as many as possible. After I compared the log w/normal boot and the log w/abnormal boot. I found the 98SE failed to load the graphic driver when I power up the PC. After I rebooted the PC and it loaded the graphic driver, and it'll success load every 2nd time on reboot. Any idea why it only load the graphic driver at 2nd time but not the first time? It seems everytime I power up, it 'forget' to load the graphic driver.. I have updated the latest of my nvidia driver and VIA mthbrd driver. I attached 2 bootlog I have logged in. You can delete them after you read them. Thx. Bootlog_1_normal.txt Bootlog_2_fail.txt

Thx for the advise, Gape. I'll try to update my mthbrd driver.(VIA chips) But my creative sound card 'Live!' no more updated driver. So I assume I need to uninstall 20rc3 first, then I install my mthbed driver. Later to install the 20rc3 is a final step.

I got the bootlog, thx Gape. Here is the contain; --deleted by Gape, because it's too long--

Oops..sorry Gape. I guess I was too hurry. I couldn't find the bootlog in my drive c and windows. I took a snapshot on my drive c. Hope it helps.

Hi Gape, Thx for the reply. I observe more to find out how and why after I posted the enquiry. Ok, here what I have been tried; it seems every few time power up, at least one time it'll load to 16 color and when I did a restart, it'll resume normal. But when I power down my 98PC. The next time I powered up again, most likely it'll go to 16 color and resorted on restart. It looks to me likely it does not load the graphic driver correctly when first power up. I wonder why...even thought i update my nvidia to 71.84. Gape, here is my 98SE boot.ini contain; --deleted--

Hi all, I'm not sure if anyone has encounter the same problem as I do. My windows now is 98se + 20rc3. The problem is sometime when it boots, it will lead itself into 'safe' mode. I did realize at first. I simply reboot & most of the time 98se will resume normal. Last night, again it booted to 'safe' mode and I checked it out see if it really in safe mode but it's not. I'm not sure why it didn't load graphic driver, it only ran on 16 color. The rest seems ok because I pluged in my thumb dive and it deteced. My graphic card driver is nvidia driver;66.94. A Geforce card; mx-400. Does has the similar problem? Please advise.

I still stick to my win2k pro. It serves me well since 2000. frm ymchan.Agree, I install & uninstall to experiment free babes & shareways often. It still stands. Of course, you need some 3rd party sw to keep it on top performance.

Hi Gape & eGo®Z, Thx for the quick reply. Will install the sp tonite.

Hi Gape, It's great to hear the latest sp has been released. Bf I install the 20rc3, I just would like to know my present 98SE has the KB891711 installed. Should i uninstall this patch bf I install 20rc3? Thx.

It's strange that my 98SE task bar have changed.. Not sure if it has been changed in the sp. It's very inconvenient to have 'new' missing cause I couldn't create new folders anymore. Even I restored back the origin 98SE. Question; how do I restore back the task bar, or rather restores the 'new' back to the task bar? Thx. An image has been attached.

Good work Gape! At last, a new sp and i hope i can install other usb & bluetooth without being kicked out.

Hi all, Does your bluetooth work on your Win98SE? Do you encounter any problem?What are the good & bad brands? B) Appreciated your feedback.. I got a SMC bluetooth SMC-BT10 not long ago but couldn't installed on my 98SE. It kept prompting that my 98SE is not a 98SE. I called the tech support and they just claimed that my 98SE is corrupted and I sent them an e-mail and they don bother to reply. The SMC has bad tech support. I think may be I'll go to get another brand. I'll stay away SMC, it just give me a bad impression. So just carefully choose your bluetooth.

Hi erpdude, Thx for the reply. But my 98se does startup everytime.. Sometime it'll prompted 'bluescreen' & I need to restart it again, that's all. The error message prompted when I uninstalled 20rc1. So, do I need to reinstall the gdi32.dll?

Hi all, I uninstalled the 20rc1 & reverted back to 98SE. But on the restore process, there are 2 files 98SE couldn't found; GDI.32.dll & Verinst.exe are missing. Question; any impact on my 98SE if these 2 files are not associated with the system? What do these 2 files do?
