[aclug-L] Re: If you had a Win98se Question what forum/blog would you go to?

[DAVID CARMICHAEL <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Done
[X] "... Cleanup the temp directory (manually delete
all *.tmp files)..."

[X] "...and run defrag again in safe mode..."

[X] "...Have you tried using the parallel port
instead?..." 
     [Not an option USB only printer]   

[?] "...Sounds like the print buffer is too full or
win98se is unable to handle the very large size of the
print spool files that the brother printer is
producing..." 
     [Any way to adjust this in Win98se through a
patch/hack? Send the spool to another drive?] 

[!] "...Have you considered upgrading to win2k?..." 
     [Do not want to purchase new "OS" yet. And the
XP-Home-"UPGRADE" co$t$ would rather spend toward new
system in the next two months] 

[! The PCI->USB2.0 card can be used in other systems
in the house so it was not a total waste of $15 to try
it out.]

I live in my own little world. But it's OK. They know me here.
