Windows 98 2nd Edition. 1.4 Ghz AMD Epox 8K7A+

My RAID Hard disks went bad and I made a backup using Norton Ghost. All 3 are IBM Deskstar 40 GB. Now when booting and running off the backup ( on one drive) everything is jerky and slow. The mouse and the programs all move much slower. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Thanks,

Thanks again

Thanks for the reply Lobo,

I'm on Windows 98 and using Netscape 4.77. I just spoke to my ISP (roadrunner) and he changed some connection arrangement. He thought it might be more efficient. I haven't had time to really test it to see if it's any better.

Would it help to see the results from the TCP ...

I have hte speed guide recommended tweaks and had good service until about 2 months ago. For some reason when I try and access this site:

http://home.HiWAAY.net/~langford/kmarkl.html

it rarely loads it all before lockining up. Then I have to reboot and try again. It seems to lock up quite often ...

Thanks FSItech and TonyT,
I extracted the Explorer file and that seemed to fix my problem. Much appreciated.
Thanks again

Anyone know how to fix my start button? The graphics are all messed up....
Windows 98Se

I highly recommend the IBM 45G Deskstar. I bought one 1/31/01 for $150 +$~11 Shipping. Prices fluctuate. Check out www.Pricewatch.com and http://www.resellerratings.com/
for ratings of vendors.

The HD is very fast and very quiet.
Check out IBM's site for help installing:

I just tried pinging the other computers IP and get: Request TImed out.??? I'll go back and specify the address in the TCP Properties.
However, I think that when I specify the IP then my internet quits working......

Thanks GLC for the reply. My IP's are assigned by RoadRunner and I have tried both options on the TCP IP Properties tab, i.e., assigning the IP and Obtain automatically.

To fellow Ramdisk users,

I have been running the Ramdisk tweak for myu Netscape browser and it has worked well for a few weeks now.

I do have a problem trying to set my Temp files to the Ramdisk tho.

Download Accelerator hangs up when setting the temp files. Anyone had this problem?

Currently I ...

Micro,
Thanks for offering to email the files. I never received them tho... I went ahead and reinstalled the OS's. I was able to get Me installed without losing Microsoft Office this time. On my other computer I just started all over and went back to Win 98. Boy it sure runs smoother than Me! Boots ...

Thanks Dan and Micro,

I tried both methods of restoring IO.SYS COMMAND.COM and REGENV32.EXE without success.

Dan with your method:

I had made a startup floppy when installing Me and had already tried copying the IOS.YS and COMMAND.COM from it. In explorer I removed the hidden and archive ...

Hey guys,

I hate to bother you all again but... Now I've really screwed um Me on the 2 kids computers. Regarding restoring Me to its' pre DOS tweak: It seems that when I tweeked the io.sys file I lost the original file as well. I have tried using Your IO.SYS file Dan and I have tried using the file ...

Dan and Micro,

Thanks for the help.

I have too had xmsdsk working on Me but not too great. When I finally disabled Norton Protection off the recycle bin things smoothed out alot. However, and this goes for Win 98 as well, Setting the Temp files to the ramdisk causes problems. Download Accelerator ...

You can delete the file and watch it disappear to the recycle bin then waut a few seconds and Win Me puts ...

Hello Group,

I have been running the xmsdsk.exe pgm to make the ram drive. It ahs wiorked well until I try to make the drive size large or try and copy several Mbytes into it. I have had to disable my norton Utilities for the drive. It seems that windows wants to put a recycle bin into the drive ...

Nice to see someone else admit to using the DOS enviroment

Dan,

Card readers... that brings back memories of Fortran and doubly nested do loops getting caught in the print outs... System operator hated that!

About DOS.. Wasn't there some DOS code that could be put into the AUTOEXEC that is not ...

Now I'll have to see if I can get explorer loaded up into the virtual memory...

What all do you guys load into ramdisk?
Ned

Hello Group,

By way of introduction I just joined the group a few days ago and have been looking forward to this weekend so I can try out the ramdisk on my Win98 se. I used to use ramdisk back in 1986. I was running a very math intensive economics program on the newest fastest compaq 386 machines ...
