 It's been awhile
« Thread Started on Jun 21, 2008, 8:15am »

Ok, so my Windows 98 computer is extremely slow and packed with alsorts of infections.

I was bored and decided to set it up, install the new Anti-virus I bought (Sytem Suite 8) and see if I can get it fast again and completely clean. If I failed that, then I was going to reformat it and install Windows XP. (which probably wouldn't work anyway as it's only 96mb)
I only have one keyboard though, which I use for this one. It doesn't seem to be working with the 95 computer.

How annoying, i was hyped to get it clean as a little project.

Just a little rant. :P

Does win 98 not have an onscreen keyboard?

I remember when i switched keyboards on a XP system that it took a few restarts to get the thing to realise it was plugged in.

Have you tried repeatedly restarting and kicking ? lol hehe

It's a nightmare to use but it helps lol

Be a good little project to mess around with for a bit.

I have a PC set up in my front room connected to my TV, was an old tower that i picked up, swapped out the 10Gb HD for a 80Gb one i had lying around, installed XP, connected it to my network and now use it for backup space and watching downloaded movies on my TV (without needing to burn disks)

Why Not lol.

I seem to hate windows 98 now, but i have an adaptor that does the old plug to a PS2.

Got rid of computers that use it, but i like to have it :P
