Have you tried updating it on the MS website? It could be a bug that they have fixed recently. Just an idea. Honestly Ive never had or heard of that problem before. :ermm:

Doh! I forgot. :o

Maybe you could download the updates onto a disk from another computer and transfer em. Thats the only other thing I know of off the top of my head. :ermm:

:confused2 I havent messed with DOS in years. Not since we packed up the ol 33mhz Packard Bell. :huh I honestly dont know. Im sure there is a website somewhere you could get help from on DOS.

[bansheerider_13]

alright thanks anyway


ahh anyone else have any ideas this thing is starting to piss me off

format c: <that will delete everything off a disk but you cant be using the disk to run windows at the same time... so you can use the floppy startup disk or a actual windows disk, when you use format c: you will loose everything on the disk INCLUDING the operating system so make sure you have a windows disk so you can put it back on

where do i go to type format c or what ever

Really if you inexperienced as this I would almost say take it to someone who knows what they are doing..

There are too many stupid little things to think of that might be wrong to try and debug like this. Plus I would upgrade operating systems, 98 even in the SE versions has so many problems its not worth screwing with.
