Get tweakui or an equivalent freeware prog and get rid of those startup passwords.Tweakui is free on the microsoft site.

LOL, Laughing
Sorry , excuse me for the 'LOL'...............but tweakui is installed by rightclick on it and choose install, it will be installed on your W98 control panel, it isn't a executable.....
Happy
PS: i'm not sure about the 'install' , you see my W98 is dutch , but will be something simular.

It really should install itself onto control panel. Tweakui is in fact a system dll.
Do you get a error message of some kind ? Suspicious

If everytime I had an error like that I would reinstall windows, I wouldn't have a life. (Not as if that's a change.)

Just reinstall the software or something complete boring something-else-thingy.

Hey, I bought a Soltek-54U5 with the Via MvP3 chipset. I have installed 256 MB of RAM DIMM PC133, 3 HD for a total size of 22 GB (!!), and a CD-RW 52x producted by LG, and TNT2 for Video Card. The question is: what can I do for make Windows XP running quite well? I have modded XP with Nlite, it ran fine, but there are always problems with internet explorer. Now I'm using windows 98SE but it's quite slow while I'm running Internet and an audio program. With windows 2000 everything is ok, but I can't run DOS games!!! Could you tell me something more? In your opinion, how is my motherboard? Was good for its time?

If you are happy with W98SE for your dosbased games, and with W2K for the other stuff, why not dual boot ?
