For the pass two years or so i've been playing on a P2/400.first a packardbell then a compaq both of them kinda suck. but thay were good enough to start. well someone gave me a P3/933 DELL so much better .but I'VE MUCKED IT UP.now back on the P2/400 compaq. what i did was i downloaded some updates from MS like internet explorer 6.1 i think its 6.1 anyways now when it starts up IE has a fault in it and my desktop wont come up .the only things i can do is get on AIM and a few other things.i did get in to where the programs are but IE is not there.so if someone can tell me how to fix it or tell me how to wipe it clean so i can start over.

<br>Are you able to open Control Panel and get into Add/Remove Programs? If so, try uninstalling the IE6 and other updates you downloaded, one-by-one. <p><br><SRA>/v/ahatma</p><i></i>

Sounds like the stuff you downloaded hung up during the install. You might try doing it again, maybe one of the files was corrupted during download. You should only need to d/l the stuff that's missing, so it should go quicker. I had that happen to me on my PII 300, so I just went through the whole update process again. The d/l part went quickly, and then it had another go at installing the updates. It was successful the second time, so I assume something fouled up during the original d/l. Try doing it over again before you go to the extreme of wiping your hard drive. <p></p><i></i>

Heyy XX,you may not know that IE is removed in the Add and Remove Windows components part of that control panel.<br>You could also reinstall Wimblows form the original CD.Its not too bad if you dont backup your windows files when reinstalling.<br>It usually takes me about 20 minutes to reinstall it.<br><br>Why do I know this?Uh... oh yeah Windows SUX!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><br>|).|.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Post subject:  My turn!
Put the 98 CD in the CD and reboot. By default, most PC BIOS are set to a boot order of "A" drive, CD-ROM and then Disk 0 (the hard drive). So make sure the A drive is empty, put 98 in the CD-ROM and power off then on the PC. You will get the windows setup screen like that. Pay attention to the first 30 seconds of the boot up process. It will ask a few questions from a DOS screen. If it still boots up like normal, then you need to change the boot order of your drives in the bios. Good luck.<br><br>Hermskii <p></p><i></i>

Post subject:  Here is one for ya - REVISED
Suprised all the Windows guys haven't jumped on like crazy to help ya out XX. Its been awhile since I've installed 98 but if I remember right, these are the steps in formatting and starting over (window's guys.....please correct me if I'm wrong....been 3 years since I did a 98 system)<br><br>1: Find or make you a 98 start-up floppy disk (don't remeber 98 letting you boot or start installation from CD EVER, Windows 2000 and XP do)<br>2: Stick said floppy in drive and reboot computer.<br>3: Get into bios and check before boot-up starts to make sure that A: is first boot and CD-ROM is second followed by HDD-0 or HDD-1<br>4: Exit bios and restart computer and let start-up disk boot up<br>5: After a moment there should be 2-3 options like start with cd support, start without cd support and such.......pick the start without cd support.<br>6: After it goes through a couple of things you should be at an A:, should be able to type fdisk and hit return<br>7: (This is where my memory seems to leave me a bit so somebody correct me if I'm wrong please) after fdisk boots you need to delete the partion/partions and re-create them or just one (everybody does this different) Basically after you delete your partion, everything on the HD is basically trash now from what I have been told so make sure there isn't anything that needs to be saved before deleting and redoing the partion stuff.<br>8: After you get done setting the partion with fdisk you need to reboot the computer and let the start up disk do its thing again. After it gets done loading pick start with cd support. The start up disk does not have format on it so more than likely you will have to dig thru the cd-rom (prob. drive D: or E<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> either in the Windows Directory or the Win98 Directory for format. Then you need to type format C: to get the format running. <br>9: After said HD is partioned and formatted reboot computer and leave floppy in the drive. This time start with cd support.<br>10: After it goes thru loading some stuff you should be back at an A:. From here find your CD-ROM drive letter. (ex: D:, E<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>11: Once you the right drive letter, all you have to do is type in "setup" and off it should go.<br><br>AND IF ALL ELSE FAILS:<br><br>12: Pick up a copy of XP or 2000, all you have to do to install either one of those is stick the cd in the drive and make sure the bios is set to boot the cd-rom as the first in line.....and everything else is basically cake.<br><br>I hope that wasn't too confusing for you and I'm sure the Windows guys are rolling over laughing at one of the MAC guys trying to tell a Window's user how to install Windows (find it pretty funny myself). Hope it helps and doesn't cause ya too much trouble. I started using 2000 and recently XP on my home machine just to make reinstalling alot easier whenever my lovely machine decides to start acting crazy on me.<br><br>Good luck bud,<br><br>|<idcapri<br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub44.ezboard.com/bschwantzsredeemerarenaserver.showUserPublicProfile?gid=kidcapri@schwantzsredeemerarenaserver>Kidcapri</A> at: 4/1/03 8:10:29 am<br></i>
