Hello all, I have been trying to troubleshoot this issue and can't seem to figure it out. I am not well versed in troubleshooting BSOD errors as I have been extremely lucky in that I have never had them since using win 98 :) Basically what happens is every time I resume from a sleep (hybrid...

I wish to obtain a copy of Windows 98SE so I can play my older games that don't work on Windows 7. Most notably Jane's Combat Simulations USAF. Microsoft is no longer allowed to distribute Windows 98 because of some deal they made with Sun Microsystems (apparently you can get OSes like MS-DOS...

Link Removed and weird things are happening, like as above. The bottom right shows me as not online, and a utorrent icon hiding away behind. And in the main screen, it shows all my boxes etc have reverted to what looks like windows 98 style. Also I can't defrag because task scheduler isn't...

I am trying to move some files from my current computer which has windows 7 to a much older box with windows 98 on it. I tried my flash drive but that needs drivers and I'm not connected to the net to get them. I decided on creating a CD, but windows prompts me after I insert the blank CD and...

Hi, I'm new to W7. When I create a new folder on another network place (usually my server), the pc times out because it creates more than one folder. If I don't do ctrl+ald+del quick enough it creates hundreds of empty folders! The other network places are a mixture of XP, win 98 and win 95 PCs...

I just installed it on a machine for the hell of it. Problem is the computer is a HP Pavilion a343v and it came with XP so I can't find any drivers on the HP site that are compatible with it. The resolution is super big so is there a stand VGA driver I can get? Also does anyone know of a good...

As you may know, you cannot make a clean install of Windows 7 upgrade on a formatted disc. You can only install this OS on a hard disc that has a previous version installed (XP, Vista, whatever). So, if you bought a Windows 7 UPGRADE (not the full version), you will have no luck just popping the...

Greetings, all! Just for jollies, I'm trying Windows 7 on an ancient homebrew I built back in 2003 and change. It has a decent (for the times) HD (150g) and reasonable memory (2g) and the processor isn't bad (1.75mhz), but it's the original ABit motherboard and cards. The point of this is...
