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.

W98 only supports 2048mb partitions. At least on the boot partition.

I'm sorry, but that is just not true. W98 will easily support
partitions
120GB.




yes,my older 10G HD has 3 partitions(C,D,E),and W98 works fine on it.
Another person told me W98 doesn't like over 30G drives.

I have win98 running with up to 40 GB partitions (on 120 GB drives).
