Dear folks,
My Win 98SE desktop comp is 12 years old, running fine for now, but it's exactly the way I want it with tweaks and freeware enhancements and security measures, and I'm worried it might...

Hello,
I d/l'd this program to convert pdf to text, but I can't make head nor tail of the readme. I think it has something to do with command line, about which I also seem to have forgotten. How do...

Dear 200eldorado,
"drvmain.sdb" is not a file in my Win98SE. Do you have a startup disk? Fits on a little old floppy. Pop it in and go from there (you'll have to do a bit of DOS stuff). If you don't...

Hello folks,
Lately, I've been getting spam in my email from, obstensibly, my own email address. What is it that these spammers are doing, and what can I do? (no trojans or evil software here) ...

Hi j. richardson.
I've been running Win98 on my main desktop machine since ... 1998. If my bootup was slow, I would try Start>run.msconfig>Startup (see what's running at startup) 2) run bootlog 2)...

Hi hambone2,
I'm sure there is a story behind your posting name, equal or maybe even better than bistro's. I first signed up with "No Wonder" message board in 1998 - new computer with Win98 and IE...

Hi jdc2000,
On mine (v8.0) the number was on the back of the paper "Startup Guide" which came in the box along with the CD.

Isn't that the precious thing. I have a computer that I can donate (I was thinking to Women's Community House, a shelter for abused women and children) and it could be landfill, or it could be put...

A tenant, when he vacated, left a Pentium II, 6G HD, XP Home machine, with lots of personal information on it (ugh, when will they ever learn), and good software. I want to securely...

I may be wrong (perhaps I should check Wikipedia) but my recollection is that Clarke's story "The Sentinel" was the basis for director Stanley Kubrick's "2001 A Space Odyssey". Clarke furthered the...

Dear Doc,
Okay, thanks for the reassurance, and the Readers Digest version of what the .bat will be set to do. I'm off into the breach, d**n the torpedos, and hopefully will not be reporting back...

Dear Doc,
That seems like rather a drastic change to the AUTOEXEC.BAT, I don't understand it, but I'm willing to give it a cautious go, as long as GoBack loads first, (it's rather jealous of its...

Dear Doc,
Here is MONDAY.BAT (Monday Backup is a freeware program that runs every Monday, backing up system files etc. - it's probably overkill for my backup regime. I never looked at the .bat...

Dear Doc,
I edited the autoexec.bat as you suggested, and Windows loaded. But, it was as if the computer booted twice. The startup screen, followed by the boot menu, then again the startup screen ...
