Tricking Windows 98 into mapping a local folder as a network drive?

shassouneh

Hi all, The following WILL sound silly, but it has an advantage to it, so kindly bear with me. I have a Windows 98 machine called Main, with a share on it simply called shared. Whenever I chose to map \\Main\shared as a network drive (N: to be exact) on a different machine, it works like a charm.

Quick Question About Video Convertors

ProgGod

Hey all, I wanted to get everyone's opinion on what you think is the best video convertors (avi to mpeg, avi to wmv, mpeg to avi, ect. ). More recently I've been using #1 Video Convertor however I've noticed that even when I command it for No Resize Image, the image seems to be cropped a little bit on each side.

Windows 98, IE 6 only saving pictures as bitmaps?

Y2k_UG

I reformatted my PC a couple months ago and since am having this problem. . . . . Whenever I try to save a picture, I'm forced to save it as a bitmap- there is no varying option for a jpg or a gif. I can change it later but it's becoming an inconvenience since saving animated gifs is no longer possible.
