We have Windows 98 on another (this) computer and its far better, have no problems at all to use all those devices Scarlet mentions.
Beeing old enough to having used computers before Windows i remember a dos-file "autoexec.bat" where you "told" the PC how to start (paths).
My question is: If i install Windows 98 is there a way to "tell" the computer to use Win98 instead of WinME?

Im afraid thats what i have to do too :(

I have Windows ME in this PC..can anyone tell me how to do if i want Windows 98 instead?

Had this email today, wonder if anyone has any experience:

Ok Jason, thanks for your info and "research" :)
Ill check hubs ive seen them in the store.

I have 4..so if i have another router gives me 8, but i need one for the second router.
Nope...not 7 computers "only" 5...Antje has many kids :)

Would it be possible to add router # 2. Then we could have 3 computers and 1 router from router # 1 and 4 computers from router # 2.

Antje: Feel free to correct my post if you think its too confusing LOL

Thank you Aragon :)

Any idea of a good (free) program for line in recording.
I want to make mp3s/CDs from old vinyl records and cassettes.

Vitalik...Would be nice to know the model number of your region free DVD player.
I (we) bought a new combo DVD/VCR (Sony) before Christmas so i doubt that my wife allows me to buy another LOL
But its free to check the price :)

Thanks Jason..i have to check it.

Thanks guys...yup..it sais Region 1 on my player so i guess i can only watch american DVDs

Not really a computer question, but a question anyway :) :

Does anyone know if i can buy a DVD (movie) in Europe (Sweden) and play it in USA?
Someone said that its not possible because Europe and USA are different "regions".

:)

problem solved (i hope) new router and it works :)

Yes, cheapest ive seen is $40 at Walmart but Antje isnt too impressed of Wally's quality LOL
They are $50 at Best Buy..not too bad.

First when it worked "now and then" i thought something else was wrong and not the router. Well i buy one and if it works then i know the answer ..thanks for advices :)

Jason, not anymore, saturday i could access through the router but Antje couldnt. She turned off and next time it worked. I suppose the router was going to "die" ..now it doesnt work at all.
I think we had this setup for almost 2 years.

Im sure Antje opens her checkbook, she is off tomorrow and she cant give Steve a fight about "most active user" if we must share this computer LOL

If it doesnt work ill return it :)

Thanks Aragon, yes thats my guess too only way to be sure is to buy a new router and test :)

Hmmmm, maybe people didnt understand my question LOL

We are using a router for 4 computers. Saturday my wife couldnt access Internet from her Laptop, but after a while it worked again (from router). Sunday we both were on line at the same time but when i should access Internet on the 3rd computer it didnt work. Yesterday (monday) and today we can only access Internet if we connect direct to the cable modem.
Does anyone have an idea..is the router 'gone" or
could the problem be somewhere else?
