In 98, boot to safe mode, remove all modems, and com ports in device mangler. Uninstall dial-up-networking from add/remove in control panel....
Funny that you should mention that. I partition my own drives similar. C is 1 gig, for swap and boot files only. XP is on D, 98 is on E, Linux...
I have no idea why Norton wouldn't pick up the change. Ask symantec, it's their piece of bloatware (that's another story). Just hit 1. at the...
Yes, repair the MBR, then image the drive. I told you that it was Trend in BIOS causing the problems ;)
If you really want to make everyone you send an email to mad at you, go get Incredimail. Whenever you send a message, it tacks on an advertisment...

To avoid another XP vs 98 argument...BB, In XP, a user can control it, it's just done differently than in 98. You'd be surprised what I've taken...
Did you say 2GB? Now that's overkill... The biggest that I have ever seen that XP really needs and might even use, is 768 meg. There is no...
They ****. Period. No better than any other winmodem, and worse than some.
The more RAM you have, the more it will get used, and probably the bigger XP will make your swap file. Who cares how big it is? If you have the...
Turn off "view as web page ".
The RAM reference is my way of saying that there are far better things to spend money on than a piece of defrag software. The built in XP one...
