Thanks, am struggling with an SP2 install that crashed my system. I have grown fond of the BSD -not!

I've bypassed xp and gone to Mandrake Linux for all my new installations, however I still have some 98se boxes running. Like many, I had become so accustomed to crashes that it seemed normal to have to reboot more than once a day.

Several years ago I discovered the 98lite stuff, and ran IEradicator. Stability increased dramatically; it would now take 2-3 days before the system became too stupid to continue running. 98lite claimed that you could reinstall IE as an application without losing that stability, but I never tested that (I've never used IE. Not once.) With the addition of a memory garbage-collector (I use ReleaseRAM), it's not unusual for a 98se box to run weeks at a time without a reboot.

COME ON BASS! LOL! 3.5GB's... come on... Next thing your gonna tell me is your runnin' on a sub ghz system LOL

LOL PhotoFixer3! Nah, it's fairly current. :^)

You know me and my images/media stuff. I have about 600gb of storage. I have it all partitioned into 11 virtual drives. I partitioned "C" small because I couldn't see allocating a bunch of space to it that would never be used. Silly now I know, but not too long ago big drives were pricey...and I'm thrifty. :^)

All the best.

Thanks for the logo Safrguns!
