I am running 98se, office suite 2000 standard and works suite 2002, 25g master, 3.5g slave, iomega zipcd burner, I think I have 192meg of ram and I think IE 6.0
ok, I have considered doing a fresh reinstall of 98/98se (I havent done an fdisk by myself so am afraid to do it alone) but figured I would check with you all to see if you know what the problems I am having are about. I have all legal versions of everything, so there are no problems there.
My main most annoying problem is after I boot my computer I can not get online, IE says it is finding the site and then it comes up with the cannot find site, blah blah blah error page. I have to reboot the computer up to 9 times sometimes to be able to get online. I think I downloaded one of those fixes for a virus I didn't need and that messed things up, but I am really bad and don't back up (that I know of) and well......that is what I think may be wrong.
The second thing that is wrong (and it started happening about the same time) is that I get booted of ONE game site I use, every other site is fine I can go anywhere, but when I try using this one I get through 3-10 minutes and then it kicks me off asking to send an error message to Drwatson. I always send the message, but don't know what is causing it. I have other friends on this site and they are not having problems. One friend had the problem for about 2-3 weeks and then it cleared up for her (she runs xp home).
Lastly my MS Word is crashing whenever I try to use formating applications, have no clue what this is about.........
Thanks for listening, if you have an Idea I would be extremly grateful, If you think I should wipe everything and start fresh I will with a bit of coaching. If I have to I have pretty much already saved all my settings and favorites and stuff but can't figure out how to save the passwords that IE saves for me.........let me know what you suggest
