two XP installs on one machine

Hi gang, Can I have a 98SE on C, and /TWO/ different XP installations on two other separate partitions? I have 98SE on C now and XP on E but would like to add a second - different - XP install on another partition. It seems adding one more line to boot.ini should do the job. Any comments? -- Mozart tells us what it's like to be human, Beethoven tells us what it's like to be Beethoven and Bach tells us what it's like to be the universe. - origin unknown

WinXP question

I know this isn't a WinXP group, but it's a lot more active than those groups and the people seem knowledgeable. I'm running WinXP Pro SP2 on a Dell Dimension 3 GHz machine with 2 Gig of RAM. I have only heard bad things from people I know who tried to install SP3 and on newsgroups. It seems that one of three things will happen. 1. Everything will go well and it will work OK. (Seldom) 2. It will seem to go well for some period of time and then something happens and your computer gets screwed up. 3. It will not install correctly and your computer gets screwed up. W

W98SE USB HID Driver Sought

I need a W98SE USB Human Interface (keyboard and mouse, so far as I can tell) device driver for a Dell Dimension 4500 PC (uses Intel 845G chipset). Does anybody have any idea where on the W98SE installation CD this driver is buried? Alternatively, could it be a chipset driver? Thanks, in advance, for any advice, insight, or suggestions.

Re: Win98SE and Comcast Hi Speed Internet (cable)?

OK, I finally got the Comcast Cable Internet connection set up and working, by using the USB port. (I tried installing several a few PCI network cards as suggested, and couldn't get any of them to work (even had a few blue screens along the way, relating to some VFAT issues, and perhaps some IRQ conflicts, but I'm very OK with just using the USB method to get hi speed access, at least for now). But - I have a slightly annoying residual problem here on my Win98SE computer (and only on that one), which I haven't been able to resolve: I have both Comcast Cable (for hi-speed) A

Modified Flash DLL available here (makes Flash 9 look like Flash 10)

Some websites now require that you have Flash version 10 instead of version 9. Flash 10 won't install on win-98 unless you have installed a third-party API helper like KernelEx. However, a simple modification done to the main Flash DLL (NPSWF32.dll) will make it appear that you have flash 10 when you really have flash 9. The modified file is available here: http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/19/2010382/NPSWF32.ZIP The password to unzip that file is "a" (no quotes). After you unzip it, rename it to NPSWF32.dll. Copy it over-top your existing file with the same name. It

Win98 is cool; Agent works differently on 98 versus XP.

Two points. Win98 is cool. Agent works differently in win98 from winXP, even when using the very same copy of (or course) the very same version of Agent, with the very same data files. Win98 is cool. My misadjusted oil furnace made my computer dirty, and I've cleaned it some but not enough and it still overheats on really hot days, even when only Eudora and Agent are running, so then I go to win98 where it runs about 5 degrees cooler, maybe 8 or 10**. Even though it's just a different partition on the same drive, and the programs and data files for both are exactly the s

AIM client for Win98

I just got an automated message from AOL yesterday telling me that in a few days I won't be able to log on to AIM with my old computer unless I upgrade to the latest version...that requires Windows 2000 or XP. What alternate client can I use to connect to AOL Instant Messenger with my windows 98 computer? I use it all the time to pass links to my new computer or to communicate with friends while I'm in the middle of a game on my newer system. I also use the file transfer feature from time to time. Especially if a friend has a corrupted .dll or otherwise and needs an old file to g

Flash Player for Windows 98

I just wanted to make sure everyone has updated their flash player and Adobe has released a new Flash Player 9 for Windows 98 legacy users. I do appreciate this gesture from Adobe to help continue to support legacy users. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406791.html (Users are asked to use proper safety measures before clicking web-links available in newsgroups)

Process Explorer sucks.

Process Explorer sucks. Use IARSN Task Info. Older (free) versions can be found but I can't remember where. -- Of course, it is no easy matter to be polite; in so far, I mean, as it requires us to show great respect for everybody, whereas most people deserve none at all; and again in so far as it demands that we should feign the most lively interest in people, when we must be very glad that we have nothing to do with them. - Arthur Schopenhauer

Surprised!

When I discovered that MS keeps Win-95 and -98 NG's, while dumping Win-ME and the German speaking IE group, I couldn't help but wonder about the reasoning behind it. Can anyone here help out with this? Harry.

Modem Settings conflict

Hi, First, its good to see this group still kicking on M$'s server, but other group works fine too. Now, my modem has been bombing out of late, cutting my connection short. Under 'Dev Manager'> Ports (Com & Lpt)> Communications Port, I highlight the one my modem is using, then Properties> Port Settings, I see that my data transfer rate is set to 9600bps, yet when I go to 'Control Panel'> Modems> General> Properties, I see my speed (bps) is set at the maximum, ie, 115200bps. Could this be causing a conflict? For as long as I can remember, the 115200bps has always been

Making XP desktop look like Win98

I have used Win98 since 98. I really didn't care to upgrade, but it seems there's just too much stuff that dont work in 98 anymore. I just bought another (used) computer with XP installed, and will keep my Win98 computer as it is. That way I can use either one. The old one was too slow for XP and dual booting seemed like a hassle to setup. So, now I just have 2 computers. Anyhow, I recall someone long ago saying there's a way to make XP look and act like Win98. I really dont care to have to get used to a new look, and XP has too much junk I dont care to use anyhow, like that

M$ disabling operating systems

Have you heard any thing about this? It was on a microsoft newsgroup. Sound almost impossible. Dad ==================================================================== On June 1, 2010. Microsoft will be disabling the operating systems from ALL computers worldwide, if the operating system was created prior to Windows Vista. This includes anyone using Windows 3.x, Win95, Win98, WinME, and Windows XP. It includes all original or upgraded versions, such as XP or XP-SP3. If you are using any of these operating systems, they will be disabled on your computer on this date. Only pe
