October 15, 200520 yr B) 98se its like a old datsun rusted out needs a paintjobworking on a (modification/hack free) solution for that (probably be the last thing i do on the OS)all the work is done, it's just the building the install that's taking me time (i'm old and slow). . .horror storys, sorting out nforce2 resource conflicts was pretty bad i suppose.accidentally shift-deleted my 'FORGE' folder (where i keep my projects) once during a spring cleanthat was a nightmare . . .however most of the good (imo) stuff i re-did better than before.i'm mostly a retro (and emulation) gamer so this OS does me (again, i'm old and slow),i have no plans to upgrade till theres 64bit everything and an advantage in having it.as you say currently it 'gets ya from point a to b' Edited October 15, 200520 yr by miko
October 15, 200520 yr That's pretty much a nightmare : http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=91Did not happen to me though.

October 18, 200520 yr My biggest nightmare with win98 has always been adding new hardware on a non-clean install. No matter what hardware it is (though it's usually network cards), I always get the biggest headaches adding new hardware when "things" just don't go the way they should. Oh, and a new one added to the list is the "Windows Protection Error." Everytime I've seen that, I know that my win98se install is essentially screwed. I don't really care about the BSOD, I'm used to seeing that in win98; it's sort of become a "standard" occurance over the past 10 years ever since windows 95. Though when it comes to the NT OS's, the BSOD is my worst fear, because then I know something is seriously wrong with the OS.
