Hi all, This is my first post here--I was directed to this thread doing a Google search about Windows 98 and I read almost the whole thread and I have 98SE and really like it and want to maintain it for as long as possible. I bought my computer used back in 1999 (it was custom made and had 98SE on it and I knew nothing hardly about computers when I got it). I did not really spend much time online with it until this past fall when I had problems installing some digital camera software that kept crashing a dll, and I thought it was the end of the world, so I started going to tech groups and through people holding my hand, I formatted C: and reinstalled Windows 98SE on my computer. I didn't even know how to cut, copy, and paste in the fall. Plus, when I bought this computer, I don't think it had any anti-virus, or firewall or anything like that with it. Well, I have all that now. I have done some of the things suggested by *kartel* back on page 2 of this thread. I already had changed it to *Network Server* just recently. I have even edited my registry once (that is HUGE for me). I also copied his instructions on a text doc. for editing the register--and I went into my registry and in FS Templates, there is no *max cache* or *name cache* or *path cache*. Can anyone here help me with this, as I would like to keep tweaking my system to keep it around as long as possible. Thank you
