It is rare that i run into one of these crapsites: check out
Datak
and EmcoHighVoltage.
The last one is so bad that only powerstrip shutdown is possible.
What the hell (about the site) is happening to do this crap?

What browser and version are you using? That may be the problem.
Either an older version or browser that doesn't support the newer web
language. I use Netscape 7,and some pages don't format
right,left-side is ofscreen and no scroll-left possible.I'm switching
to Firefox,but some sites don't support that either,I've read.Seems
everyone is "standardizing"
on IE,whatever version is latest.

After years of swearing I would never give up IE -- I finally loaded
firefox for one reason only -- too many IE hostile sites -- sites that
load malware and adware to your system without your permission, and
for no other reason than that IE has too many bloody security holes..
and too many of these breeze right by any protective software you
might have installed (I run a virus scanner and 2 adware/malware
blocker/scanner apps -- and I was STILL getting slammed !!)

got to the point that the powerstrip wasnt enough -- had to wipe and
reload to get the crap off

Ya wanna know what sucks ?? I hit a site that was firefox unfriendly
(html incompatible) so I loaded IE just that once -- and BOOM -- my
file search function doesnt work any more !! I'll have to reload again
to fix that one apparently because while one of my scanners found what
got loaded (it couldnt stop it as it installed), it apparently didnt
clean up EVERYTHING that got dumped on me

Go firefox asap -- and forget IE exists -- if a site isnt compatible
with both browsers, its not worth accessing -- this from a former
hardcore IE junkie

I'm in the process of trying to install a new 100G HD to replace the old
10G HD in my 900Mhz Athlon(K7VMA MB),and W98 doesn't want to load right on
the new HD.(I partitioned it to 4 25G drives with Partition Magic)
It also doesn't want to recognize the 56K PCI Lucent Win modem(dialup..)
that W98 on my old HD recognizes;if I move the modem to the next slot
over,then it recognizes it,but then the old HD doesn't in that new slot
when I switch back;wierd...
I plan on installing the old 10G HD as a slave HD,and use the 100G as the
master drive,so I can access all the files on the old HD.

I'm making progress,but s_l_o_w_l_y.
I managed to download and install Firefox 1.0 on the new HD(from NoNags),
F-F2.somethingBeta (straight from Mozilla)wouldn't load at all.

I HATE IE,all versions, and wouldn't use it at all.

Having done such transfers and screwed things up, I've come to the
conclusion the best way to take the data on one drive and copy it to
another is to use Partition Commander. Run it from the CDROM. You
don't even have to install the software. What I suggest is doing the
copy then remove the old drive completely (or turn it off via bios).
You may have to make the new drive "active" to get the system to
boot.

I ran into issues where the NTFS format had changed. It turns out NTFS
has a few variations, and that confused the crap out of Partition
Magic. This is probably not your situation, but still, Partition
Commander was a better functioning program.

To be honest, I would only go through such agony for a notebook
computer.
