  1. Here is my issue:

    Using Vista Home basic, I can not get the pc to print to a printer on a print server. The data seems to spool and then just sits there, nothing ever happens, no print, etc.

    C88 Epson, using the Vista driver for it.

    I have a USR wire/wireless router with a built in print server (printer connects to a USB port on it). Model of router is USR 5461.

    Funny enough, this printer works great with W98 and XP on multiple computers! This PC is a notebook using wireless to connect to the house network. I had XP on it and it worked fine. Only reinstalling Vista, I can't get the printer to print!

    I tried setting rules for Windows firewall to allow the specific address thru on input and output. I know the address I was using was correct, as it works on many other non-vista PC's.

    Anyone have luck using the print server on the USR router?

    Any help? Do I need to supply more info?

    thx...Jeff

  2. chozo4: yes. please read my info. On same pc, nothing different, I can see/use XP fine (which btw, nitroshift, is ALSO ntfs). You guys are not reading the data.

    98+XP OK

    98+Vista not OK.

    XP+Vista OK

    file sharing wise.

    So same 98 machine can use xp ine, no changes.

    vista set up identically as xp but 98 can not share. Vista CAN share 98.

    So, conclusion = Vista has some setting that does not allow 98 to share....or I am missing a detting somewhere.

    Again - No one else has had the capability to try, to confirm the issue? No one had a 98se and vista machine??

  3. been there, did that.

    Set sharing for a specific directory. Set so "everyone" has full control.

    On the "Security" tab too ?

    yea, pretty sure...but I gave up on it...2 machines with vista, same exact problem.

    So one I turned down to xp, the other I returned to dell (new notebook). When I told the agent why I was returning it, she said she's received some similar complaints....

    But I don't have V to verify now....

    oh, and remember, I can go from XP to Vista no problems at all...so

    98 -> Vista directory = no go

    XP -> Vista directory = OK

    So it can't have to do with security, eh?

  4. wow, no one else has ran into this yet? I am surprised because I figured someone else would have Vista and 98SE, 98 being their main system...

    Again:

    From the 98 machine I can see the shared drive on the Vista PC but can not copy to-from/move to-from, etc.

    From the Vista pc, I can copy/edit to the 98 pc fine (but I do not want to share files from the main 98 machine, just did it for a test)

    I can go from 98 to XP fine, either way.

    Anyone have the same issue or had it and solved it?

    thanks - Jeff

  5. there was a program called Xrun, I think (not the linux xrun but for W98).....had it a while ago and had a hd crash and lost it....could never find it again (could find skins for it!). It was running in a transparent mode and you could adjust transparency in 98SE.

    It used a module called alphablend.dll to get it's transparency. At the time I was trying to get another freeware author to use it for transparency, I tried contacting the originator of the alphablend.dll file but never got a response.

    I still have the alphablend.dll file if nayone is interested....maybe a google will find info on it, too.

    Here is the skin page...funny enough, no skins now! http://www.skinbase.org/app.php?name=xrun

    but here are some: http://www.skinbase.org/section.php?sections=xrun

    Here is the author's page, but as noted, he/she never responded: http://methodik.pixelarmy.org/doku.php

  6. yes, the folder created on the vista pc. I am trying to access it on the 98se pc. An XP fat32 and an XP ntfs pc see and can work with vista folder fine.

    The 98se pc can see the folder but not do anything. Constant drive not accessible errors no matter what I try.

    I may not have set the reg key up correctly. The info on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239869 was not clear to me but I tried a few ways and no luck at this time.

  7. I've wracked my brains (what little I have!) this weekend, trying to make a shared folder from a notebook using Vista, be usable on my main 98SE machine.

    The folder on Vista must be set up correctly because I (1) can see it on 98SE (2) can use it no problems if I use another pc that has xp on it.

    So for now I have to transfer the files from 98 to xp, then xp to vista!!

    I have removed password protection from that folder. I have dl'ed and installed DSCLIENT9X.msi (and modified the registry with the proper value '3' for that new key) which should allow 98 to negotiate the correct LMCompatibility sequence (LM2, I believe).

    I can see the folder and files but if I try to do anything like copy/move, etc, I get an error after about 30 seconds saying the drive is now not accessible.

    Anyone have any luck using a vista folder with 98?

  8. I tried running the enhancement to MP10 features but then my Zen Sleek Photo was not recognized by the player. I too didn't see a change in features (is it all under the hood, so to speak?) except that it wouldn't recognize my device. Returning to MP9, my device is recognized....

    I've now tried it twice with same results. My Zen Sleek Photo is recognized fine with 9.0 but if I load this enhancement, then the Zen is not recognized...

  9. It sure does, and my new PC has a DVD burner. But, I don't want to waste another Blank CD for a max. of 100 megs of drivers and such. Because i already have plenty of CD-R's with lots of free space on them. Is there a way to re-use/add data to these CD-R's if their capacity is NOT full?

    A CD is what......10 cents if that much?

    :lol:

  10. the extension is .ttf

    there is no anywhere, its just a folder Control Panel -> Fonts -> Add Font

    double click the icon in the control panel. It opens a window like explorer. Select FILE, INSTALL NEW FONT and follow the basic prompts to locate the ttf file....

    altho i've never had trouble just throwing them in the fonts folder....

  11. Has anyone been able to get the viewsonic wireless card (WPCC100) work with their software under W98SE?

    I keep getting errors like it expects XP (call errors, etc)....but the documentation says it will work with 98SE. Seems like they are not supporting their card now.

    ...ooops...realized it was posted in the wrong section but could not delete the post!.....

  12. try maxthon....one of the best ie shells out there.

    http://www.maxthon.com/

    it would also help if he upgraded from the old obsolete 98 to atleast WinXP. it baffles me as to why ppl would still use 98, pcs are so cheap nowdays that anyone could afford to get a pc that will run xp as thats the only reason why they wouldnt want to. Its not like win98 is better than xp at anything it does.

    why are you on a W98 forum, bashing 98? i built them all from scratch, never buy new. i have 6 pc's at home so I don't think 500 bucks just for sw is cheap. So what about guys and gals like us that have pc's that are fast enough and don't need to buy new sw?

    He's also not saying whether IE works OK on those pages...I have no trouble with IE but we're not here to flame, right? We are here to help.

    Check out maxthon.
