don't defrag windows 98 if you plan on using it in the next 12 hours. also defrag it in safemode, tends to be more successful
most adaware stuff that is found is cookies for sextracker and such

Va2k · 06-17-2002, 07:48 PM

eh? I have a amd-k6 3d procssor 312.0 mb of ram its a nasty ass compaq presario. What would that have to do with my computer running slow as shit and programs dieing all of a sudden and OH yea when I go to web sites most of the graphics dont show up I have to go and right click on dem and to show lol

that's incorrect. win 98 is fine, and definitely faster than XP, contrary to the common belief.

If you want to check out what programs are actually running on your windows 98 system, you need to find a program called pview95.exe It's a programmers tool, it shows you ALL processes running on your computer, including the kernel.

It's good for finding virus's etc. on a 98 system.

Just do a search for pview95.exe , i'm sure someones got it hosted out there. It also lets you kill processes running, so you can kill it, then delete it, then search for it in the registry etc.

Shut down all processes running in your tray that can be shut down... virii checker as well AND shut off the screensaver... THEN defrag. Defrag in safemode is not needed at all.

XP sux. If you want to spend $$ on software go get Norton Systemworks PRO 2002.

Going strong building custom systems since 95 and we run 98 so hard it squeaks and never have real problems with it.

Getting a clone and dumping the compaq is an idea tho.

Although my good friend Gem is usually right on the ball, she's a little out to lunch on the "XP sucks" statement. My comp has never run smoother or faster. As for your programs running in the background, you might want to go to start menu, then to "run", type in msconfig, you will be able to see what programs are running on start and also running constantly, and uncheck them if you don't want them slowing you up.

zubr · 06-17-2002, 08:22 PM

Dont defrag at all
chances are you are just gonna lose what's left there
