I tried extracting a new copy of lsass.exe from the Windows 98 installation disc but the problem persists. I got really scared when I booted into Ubuntu and couldn't boot into safe mode! But now I am in safe mode again, trying to transfer the data as fast as possible.For some reason, Ubuntu won't mount the NTFS partition, saying that it is "in use". Therefore I can't recover my files, but I hope that files on the shared partition won't be wiped.Is there any way to reinstall windows without wiping my documents? I don't have enough external devices to backup 16GB of data, and that includes my iPod nano.

I found out about this error as I got home and discovered that no one used the computer because they couldn't get into Windows!When I boot into Windows, the Welcome screen does not show up and instead shows an error that says:lsass.exe - System ErrorClick OK to terminate.Click Cancel to debug.No matter what you click, it will go away and leave a blank screen. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC will not do anything and at that point you must restart.Initially I went into Safe Mode and Windows loaded there (I'm still in Safe Mode). I tried a System Restore to yesterday's restore point and it didn't help. Since it started in Safe Mode, I assume it is a startup problem so I tried disabling various startup applications but all of them are disabled and it still doesn't work.I tried using the Windows XP CD to "repair" the operating system, but I don't know what I can do at the command prompt other than1. Change directory2. Restore the MBR (wipe out Ubuntu Linux)I tried booting into Ubuntu but it fails to mount the Windows partition because I have to do a hard shutdown to turn off/restart the PC. I did some research on this file on the Microsoft site but nothing seemed to match what I am looking for. I am in safe mode right now running ClamWin on my flash drive to see if it is a virus.Anyone know how to fix this issue without reinstalling Windows?

When I installed Ubuntu, I spent quite a bit of time looking for Notepad++ for Linux also. I had removed the SCREEM HTML/XML Editor that came with Ubuntu and installed Bluefish Editor, but it felt a bit weird so I continued hunting for Notepad++.Silly of course because I opened up my XML and PHP files in "Text Editor" (gedit) and there was syntax highlighting and stuff. I then learned that gedit is actually quite powerful and is very suitable for what I am doing.All I can say is that Notepad++ is "gedit for Windows".

Why I'm not going to build my computer: 1. Too expensive. Buying a whole bunch of different parts cost quite a bit. 2. Too complicated. Even though I took CNet's 6-lesson online course in Build Your Dream PC, I find that it is much too complicated and I will probably experience a lot of trouble. Although I would learn a lot from building my own PC, it's not worth the hassle. 3. Too time-consuming. Waiting for parts to be delivered, putting the system together, making it work. I could have Dell build my system and have it here at my house in 5 business days. 4. eBay won't help. I'm under 18, and my parents don't seem to like eBay. 5. Parts that you recommended are much too hardcore: I mean Quad-core processor, I've only seen one HP system use that. I'm not going for Vista Ultimate. I won't do video-editing on the PC, the occasional photo-editing, no gaming, mostly development stuff and my family uses it for general-purpose stuff like Internet browsing, email, word processing, viewing powerpoints, watching DVDs etc. 6. NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT!!! The most important thing that I added on the Dell PC that I have my eye on is 3-year Tech Support/In-home service. This takes priority over anything else. So I do want to purchase one from a manufacturer, but my dad wants prices to drop a little more before hitting the Checkout button.

Loading... is on the left side instead of the top-right corner, it has slowed down quite a bit. The Ajax things (I think that's what they are called), are in the top-centre on yellow instead of top right on red. The Mark as... menu is somewhat simplified. Otherwise I don't notice much change because I don't like to use version 2.

I guess this would work, but it requires some knowledge and more luck. This could also work, but you need to keep your self-esteem high, which can be hard. More like develop a rich company. Microsoft didn't come to what it was right now in a week. It takes time. And hard work. I don't even know what that is. It's much too risky because they'll get their friends to gang up on you and possibly kill you. This is illegal and won't work anyways. Yes, well you have to sell yourself enough to get hired. Ha ha ha. Very funny. Shouldn't we use honest tactics in trying to become rich? Now this would be really easy...NOT! The best way to become a millionaire is to put a substantial amount of your net income in a high-interest savings account in order to let it accumulate money over the years. This is the safest, most efficient and most logical way.

I prefer the "Older Version" much over this one. It randomly crashes any browser that I access it on, whether it is Firefox, Flock, or Opera. I thought that it would work on Internet Explorer, but it crashes that also. I notice it mostly happening when trying to access my labels, but it can happen anywhere from 1 minute to 5 minutes after loading GMail.Whenever I access it, I immediately click on Older Version once I'm in. I also use Windows Live Hotmail.

Ok as the other topic said, I am planning to purchase a new computer sometime soon. We have Windows 98 on the old machine and I don't want to throw it out just yet. I need Internet Explorer 6/5.5 for web page testing and obviously I can't run both Windows Internet Explorer 7 and 6 on Windows XP. So I am planning to transfer the entire hard drive over to the new system. A few issues though:Will Windows 98 with such "powerful" components?System has 512MB RAM, Intel Pentium 4 3GHz processor, 7.1 sound card, integrated video card and DVD+RW burner are the main components that are much different from the current Windows 98 system.I don't want drives exploding or processors burning up. :rolleyes:Also, is it as easy as unplugging the hard drive and plugging it into the other system? I was hoping I didn't have to reformat ANYTHING because the only reinstallation CD that I have is the OEM CD and I do not want it wiping out Windows XP, Ubuntu or my other partitions.Is dual-boot configurable with 2 drives?I would appreciate any input. Thanks.

LiveCD is quite slow and wears down your CD drive I think. It is also noisy as the CD spins really fast in order to read it as fast as possible. If you are just testing the software, that's fine.If you would like to use Linux frequently and don't mind having another partition on your hard disk, install it on the hard disk for more "stable" use.

Well people that are 50 years old learn slower, and they haven't explored Windows so much. Macs are easier than Windows from what I have read, too easy for me.xboxrulz, I'm only 2 years younger than you, and I first started using Windows when I was 6 years old. And yes, Linux is a bit hard to learn, not as user-friendly as Windows.

Well I actually need to teach my family how to use Windows to it's full potential. They haven't learned the core basics of Windows 95/98 yet. I got a book from the library and it is quite huge. Vista sure sounds exciting.Dell dropped its prices for the PC by $60 again this week. I don't know if it is time to buy yet.

Create a FAT32 partition and put the files on there. Make sure you don't accidentally wipe it out when reinstalling Windows or using Dell Restore (on Dell computers). Or you can use Ubuntu (or other distributions of Linux) instead.

This is similar to hiding HTML elements using CSS visibility:hidden instead of display:none in my opinion.It's invisible, but still displayed.If they go through the folder icons using the arrow keys, it will land on a blank space and all that you have to do to open it is press enter.A further step you can do to hide the folder even more is to set the folder as hidden. This way if hidden files and folders are hidden, it won't be found using the arrow keys. Also, hidden files/folders won't show up in directory listings on the command prompt.

Well security packs are free, right?So I don't see a reason to wait much longer. I'm quite excited for Vista, and if it sucks, I will have to learn about it to keep up with more computing skills.Because most of the population is using Windows, servers on Linux, I'm learning boths of these operating systems instead of Macintosh computers.So did anyone figure out the password length thing?

Yes, I need to experience Vista before deciding if it is good or bad for me. If it sucks, oh well, at least I have something more to learn about. I personally think that Dell is great, my school uses Dell and quite a few people around my town uses Dell also (some use Acer because the local computer shop sells Acer systems). I am definitely thinking about getting Core 2 Duo, that was my first instinct. I do think Macintosh computers are expensive and again, too easy to use. I was wondering about Skype on AMD processors because of this: https://www.cnet.com/news/amds-lawyers-call-on-skype/. Anyways, I'll see if we can reach an agreement sometime soon (hopefully before 2008).

My first reason for getting Windows Vista was to learn more about it. The second reason for getting Windows Vista is almost as big as the first one, to get the full experience of User Account Control. I think that it is an EXCELLENT feature in Windows Vista. I do realize Macs use UNIX, however I'm quite comfortable with using Ubuntu and maybe other distributions of Linux once I am more used to it. When launching Administrative applications in Linux, the whole screen is dimmed and prompts you to enter your password to do the task, I enjoy that so much that I sometimes access Administrative applications just to see that box. Even though Windows is copying that functionality in Linux (I think), it is absolutely awesome. I wish they would put it in more of Linux and Windows. Does anyone know if Vista will allow you to have a password of more than 255 characters? What about more than 65,535 characters long? Is there a maximum length to the login password?

Dell has been great for me so far. I absolutely love their technical support, so problems are actually fun for me. I will take that into consideration. However, will Skype run properly on an AMD processor? Sorry, but everyone here wants to enjoy and learn more about Vista. Besides, service packs are free, right? Then I guess a memory card reader isn't that good of an investment. For physical location reasons, the router must be plugged into this (new) computer. So therefore I don't think a wireless network card will do good. But I do plan to buy a router (we don't have one yet) and a USB wireless device for the old computer. I also considered looking at an iMac too, but I prefer Windows XP/Windows Vista and various distributions of Linux over Mac OS X (actually, I would rather learn to use some command-line Linux stuff than use Mac OS X) Well I guess that my decisions were right. I won't do gaming much (nor any other high-performance tasks such as video editing), so I don't need an expensive and high performance PC. I've gotten too used to Windows quirks (e.g. "Found New Hardware" and "Resolving Network Address") to switch to a Mac, even Linux is weird for me because it runs quite smoothly (sure I need to use the terminal here and there but that's ok). Everything advertised on the Apple site (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) seems too easy to use. Oh and if I don't get Windows Vista, I will miss User Account Control a lot. I mean a lot.

Ok well we are considering purchasing a new computer. We've looked at a few different options, mainly Dell. Some of the features are already decided, like this: Windows Vista Home Premium 2GB RAM At least 320 GB hard drive 22" wide-screen monitor The graphics card and sound card aren't really such a big deal, we do not use this PC for gaming/video-editing anyways. The PC will primarily used for Office applications, web development, general Internet/email use, watching DVDs and learning about Windows Vista (I can't wait to use User Account Control!). The most important thing on the list is 3 Year Tech Support. I won't explain that here, but even with Linux it is the most important thing on the list. Now some things I would like to know about: Should I aim for getting the Pentium D dual-core processor (1.6 GHz) or the Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E4500 (2MB L2 Cache,2.20GHz,800 FSB)? A lot of people on CNet say that Windows Vista is optimized for 2 processors, but it brings the cost of the PC up by $100 (incl. taxes and everything). Is it worth adding $30 for a 13 in 1 Media Card Reader? I don't think so, because I rarely use media cards, mostly USB flash drives. But they may have other uses. Should I pay $20 for a Data fax modem or $40 for an Internal PCI 802.11g Wireless Network card or neither? I thought that this would be a good deal, but apparently the other people want to connect the new computer to the router and buy a wireless adapter for this Windows XP computer. Is a TV tuner a good investment ($100)? We initially thought it was, but now we are unclear on this. Also if you have other opinions on the any other components then feel free to tell me. So far the PC with the Core 2 Duo processor is $1,103.52 CDN (including taxes and shipping). We don't want anything too expensive, however we want to make a good investment as we would use the PC for about 4 years before buying another one.

Apparently I am receiving the same error when trying to reproduce the problem: I would seriously recommend using XHTML 1.0 Strict instead of XHTML 1.1, because of the depreciated lang attribute and MIME type issue. I didn't know they removed the event attributes in XHTML 1.1, can't find any info on that.

In Linux (Ubuntu at least), the C:\ drive is called sda1. Try browsing for it in /media/sda1, but an icon should be on the desktop if the Linux is a GUI. In the terminal/command-line, change directory to /media/sda1

There are a few versions of GMail: 1. The standard version2. The older version3. Standard without chat4. Basic HTMLWith older browsers, obviously it will be basic HTML. But I don't like the update that went on about 2 weeks ago either, Netscape froze when trying to access my Inbox and/or different labels. I thought it was a Netscape problem, IE and Firefox were experiencing the same thing. I used Opera and switched to the older version, where the little red "Loading..." flag is in the upper-right corner. It works fine now.So switch back to the older version if you are having some problems. It might help. (It's a button on the upper-right toolbar of GMail [if you successfully get in.])

Try using Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer to access it and see if you have this problem. Then determine if it is the classic version that is problematic or that it is Opera. Do you remember updating/changing any settings in Opera? I haven't had this problem before, but if text boxes don't send correctly (e.g. forum posts), then browsers usually erase the contents.

I have 64 MB RAM on the Windows 98 machine, not enough for Ubuntu. I don't have Internet access whatsoever on that machine also, I can only rely on floppy disks and CDs. I need a good version of Linux though, for server development purposes if possible.

If you are using XHTML 1.1, your images need to be in a block-level element, so put <div> around it. Also, XHTML 1.1 needs to be sent with a MIME type of application/xhtml+xml.

It varies from version to version, I initially thought that AOL owned Netscape, so that it uses the Gecko-based (Firefox) rendering engine. But it turns out that the AOL browser does use the Trident (IE) rendering engine.
