Like you said, 98 blowz. Just install XP. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow! You're no help.

Also bad hardware or you overclocked too much.

Sounds like you're trying to use a file from MS-DOS 8x when using MS-DOS 7x!!! You can't do that!!!

LOL! Cool!!!! Same with me, too. I want to get a girl friend to have in bed!

Looks like the video card is failing to init at all!!! Usually when there's no video, the PC won't even POST at all, thus you probably won't hear Windows booting up. The OS probably isn't even loading! Likely a faulty video card. Thus, time to think about a RMA.

I know what the problem is, rapidshare.de sucks!!! They want people to pay just for uploading files.

I dunno, but at least for Win32 applications, it probably uses VXDs instead of IO.SYS, which is for the most part just a boot loader! Win32 probably uses VMM32.VXD for a majority of functions.

Do you mean you saw random ascii character when you used a disk editor to look at the data on some particular sectors of your trashed partition ? That person saw random characters for the directory listing when using the dir command in DOS. I saw that symptom before on a PC, but that was because of the HDD jumper setting. Using the wrong HDD jumper settings can cause that symptom to occur.

You can get that black screen of death if your Vcore is dropping.

It is REALLY NO warez I tried it myself and it works for 7.54 and for 8beta3 NOT 8FINAL. I just bought Opera8 for only 8,21Euros B) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How? Because I'm not sure how to enter the information, because there's 3 fields. What about the middle field?

Unless you're talking about the L2 cache, that's *not* the processor cache. It's for setting a limit for the Vcache disk caching to 512 MB or less. Windows 9x has a bug in the disk caching system of sometimes causing more RAM to be used then it's supposed to by a lot.

I do the exact samething. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Shoot!! I did get an exe file. It contained New.net and Gator.

[quote name='prathapml' date='Jun 29 2004, 06:18 AM']I see too many posts biased towards firefox here - it's not really all that great. Opera will kick-the-pants off firefox/IE any day. [/quote] I disagree, because Opera for me wasn't any faster than Mozilla Firefox and Opera isn't free, unless you don't mind seeing ads all of the time. Also, you better not say that Firefox is based on IE!!! It's not and it's a lean browser, even when it's using some more RAM than it should.

Avast is supposed to be the same way, too. In fact, it updated twice yesterday!!!! That's with the current version. The current version is 4.6.

That one currently has a major bug. It crashed on me and I got a DrWatson error report. When it was trying to defragment a file, the error message saying that it generated errors and will be closed by Windows popped up. Thus, I don't recommend it.

No framedyn.dll problem for me.

If DOS was the core, then it wouldn't be 32-bit at all!!! Come on. DOS is basically only required until Windows finishes loading. It does require DOS however for the boot loader. The Windows 9x core actually consists of the following files: KERNEL.DLL KRNL386.EXE KERNEL32.DLL USER32.DLL USER.EXE GDI.EXE GDI32.DLL and probably some other files.

WinRAR is far from terrible, but I now can't even install it, because of something to do with my new tweaked Windows 2000 SP4 configuration, which removes a lot of bloat. I dunno which component that was removed is required by WinRAR (or it's installer)? Obviously a dependency problem, because with a stock Windows 2000 installation that of course has some filler, WinRAR is fine.

killerholic IS correct. win ME, 98, 95, 3.1 are all written over the DOS codebase. That is why you still have real-mode DOS in all of them. NT/2000/XP are on the NT codebase. EDIT: wow, just noticed how old this thread is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's correct that there's a DOS codebase for backwards compatibility, but it's not just an "operating environment" that appears to be a DOS application like Windows 3x and earlier was. Windows 95 and later has 32-bit components. Windows 9x don't require DOS drivers (except HIMEM.SYS, which is required during the loading process before the 32-bit memory management takes over) unlike Windows 3x and earlier.

That symptom is known to occur if running Chkdsk with open files.

I agree, but I also like Windows 2000 Pro.

Fat chance of *any* version of Windows being based on Linux or Unix. More likely, it's going to be like a Windows XP SP4 or SP3. LOL. It's probably going to be based on Windows XP.

I gotten a similar message before under Windows 2000, because of disabling the "Server" service.

That's not correct. Windows 98 is based on Windows 95, not DOS. Windows XP is based on Windows NT.
