Windows Me network problem- Solved

bobbinbrisco
If you are experiencing a slow network while running Windows Me then all you have to do is: install the protocol Internet Connection Sharing in WinME. To do this go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows Setup Choose to install Internet Connection Setting.

lan/nic problem

three
For some reason, one of the 98box is screwing up. It can't find the rest of the network but itself although It's able to obtain a lease from the dhcp server (router/switch) but not able to ping it. That's really odd.

Keyboard volume control

Marktait
I have an HP keyboard with a volume control turner on the top, which works under ME,2000,XP but not under 98SE. I have tried up the keyboard drivers from the Windows ME drivers and it updates but the control still does not work.

Win98SE Keyboard probs

mchila
Here's another. . . . I work for a computer rental company occasionally and we have been having problems with our keyboards. After a couple of hours they just stop responding, they just go dead. The only way to get it to work again is to reboot the PC.

32 bit PCMCIA Card problems

mchila
Is there a way to run 32 bit network cards in older laptops that only support 16 bit? Someone mentioned that there is a bios setting I could change which may allow this. Thanks. . . .

Win98se versus WinME

Low dog
If you want to play games and you want any semblance of stability then forget ME its CRAP. ME will become corrupted quicker than you can blink an eye. ME is as flaky as dandruf IF you use ME and manage to get 1 week without it hanging and crashing then you are doing exceptionally well.

Win 9x is great - No crashes at all.

reversing_drive
Provided you install nothing on top of 9x I mean you can install the latest DirectX, some Games, However you should stop there and go no further. Once you start installing Office2000 Prem ed. IE6, Dreamweaver4, ICQ2000, Netscape?, Latest Virus Scanner of your choice, ZoneAlarm, Overbloated Win Media Player7, ect.

Full IE download for 98?

Brian Frank
I need to get this for some people with a 56k modem because Outlook Express got screwed up by their son and this guy doesn't have a way to get his e-mail otherwise. If someone could post the link ASAP, that'd be great.
