I was given a Yr 2000 HP desktop PIII 866 w/ 384 Mb ram, running
Win98SE.
It has more capability than my older 1998 HP.
I'm having two problems which I can't resolve. I'm connected to the
Internet via ethernet cable> DLink SuperG router>cable modem.
The older machine (Celeron500 256Mb) was connected to the net via a USB
connection as the installer couldnt get (he tried) a 10/100 hard card
to
function (Port conflicts he said). Given that, the connection was
reasonably fast but the machine did have 'falling offline" problems,
especially if left alone/inactive for a while. During D/L though (say
25
parts x 309 Mb .WMV files) it was fast and smooth..1 0f 25, 2 of 25, 3
of 25
etc right up to 25,
On the PIII, I installed a new (er) PCI 10/100 card [pitched the
original
ISA one]and got it running pretty well but it does "hang" from time to
time
during downloads. Where this is most evident is trying to Update my
NEWSGROUP list of some 60,000 groups..it will usually hang at 140
groups..if
I keep hitting reset, on occasion it will grab up to 6500 groups but
then
hangs again.
Trying to D/L the same 25 part (309Mb X 25 .WMV files) may get one
or two
parts then it just hangs..I have to hit STOP and start again. It is
nearly
impossible to D/L even one part intact w/o it hanging.
It also shows up when my AVG is updating..it hangs for probably 25
seconds
or more during the D/L, then finishes uinlike my other P4Laptop
D/L of larger files such as JPGs stalls & stutters as well...about
1/10th
the D/L spd of my P4 laptop on the same network
So, what I'm wondering is, can I reinstall Win98SE off the disk I have
without LOSING the drivers etc for other hardware (such as the PCI
10/100card- I left the disks for that in Az and I'm 1600 miles away
now) and
other software/drivers 'onboard' which I can't replace ? Are there
"sections" of the Win98 I should leave alone and others I should
replace ?
The other problem, I ve posted here [DKabppls.exe] deals with FREEZING
on
shutdown and 2 UNTITLED windows appearing "..stopped responding"
WAIT/END
TASK ? both resulting on an extended freeze and finally a POWER DOWN
shut
down.
Any ideas appreciated.
