Let me guess -
1 - You're on a Compaq or an AMD processor machine
2 - You're running version 1.0 of Win98.

Fear not Macbeth, you are experiencing the world of Microsoft. Upgrading to Release 2 of Win98 should alleviate most of your problems.

Snakebite, don't be a DEEK about this. He asked a legit question, so don't friggin' tell him to format his hard drive for Christ's sake!

Back to topic: chances are, if you have reached the splashdown screen, all of the programs have been shut down, so it's safe to turn the computer off. But really, it would just be easier if you leave your system running all the time, and just turn your monitor and speakers off if you don't want to be disturbed at night.

Hey, while we're discussing computer questions, how do you get rid of that thing where when you type in somthing in your explorer bars, it finishes the address for you? It gets so annoying that if you go to a website once, it's forever stuck there

Brain first off there is a topic already started for computer questions. 2nd you telling him to shutdown his pc during the splashdown screen is just as bad a my suggestion because all the programs haven't shut down and you could crash the hard drive.3rd go fuck yourself

Not really. PCs don't require that much power to run, especially if they are idle. Also, nighttime is the best time to run all your maintenance programs (Scandisk, Defrag, etc.).

grumpy had it, just do Winblows update and that should cure it. I had the same problem with my system.

As for the whole power thing, I telecommute. I have a PC and sometimes a laptop on, 19" monitor, DSL modem, router,speakers, cordless phone and fax machine on all day 5 days a week and turn of the fax on weekends. My bill wasn't bad at all. The printer is actually the biggest power hog in the bunch. Unless you are printing or burning CD's all day long you shouldn't see a big difference in the power bill, if any.

Brain be glad I don't fuck with you...get it DEEK

And because BM asked me to play nicey nice I will.

Ok Mr mailman answer to your question on your shut down problem is one of 3 things.

1. if you are running McAfee software make sure that the scan for the floppy drive on shut down isn't checked
2. Win 98 2nd edition has shutdown problem if you are running a lan carding on your pc like for a cable modem, DSL or on a lan at work. The fix is on MS web page email me if you can't get it.
3. check your infra red ports and disable them if possible


And No I won't help you hack in Sandbox.com

I'm in a league there and need all my pitchers to beat Corpse this week

OK happy BM!!
:mumbles to self: play nice he says, play nice boy I remember the day before he was a mod
