Got an old Pentium 100 with 104 MB RAM on a Cable Network Connection. Works fine when it works.
About a week ago I started getting "Blue Screen" errors (most with VXD VMM(1)+ in them. They got more and more frequent.
I reloaded Win98 and then Win98SE. Did not touch IE 6. No luck, it just got worse alternating blue screens with freeze ups.
I reformatted the C: drive and loaded Win98 and IE 4.0. When I tried to upgrade it went blue screen during set-up. Tried to load Norton SystemWorks. Same thing, blue screens or freezes during set-up. Ran Norton WinDoctor from CD. Said all was honkey-dorey. Could not run antivirus from Norton CD. Tried antivirus from www.pcpitstop.com and it would freeze befor reporting results. After a week it ran and reported, no virus. I can not load Word97 but I did manage to load Family Tree Maker and I downloaded both zip and ftp machines and both loaded and work. Family Tree Maker v. 5.0 is there but will not accept new data. My start up file contains: ScanRegistry Registry (Machine Run) C:\WINDOWS\scanregw.exe /autorun
TaskMonitor Registry (Machine Run) C:\WINDOWS\taskmon.exe
LoadPowerProfile Registry (Machine Run) Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme
LoadPowerProfile Registry (Machine Service) Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme
SchedulingAgent Registry (Machine Service) C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\mstask.exe
I even reset my BIOS to defalt settings. I can browse the web and use web email with no problems. I just can't update anything or load new stuff. I know that I am doing something very stupid and probably simple. I am just too dumb to know what it is. HELP.
