Re: Copy of Windows 98 Second Edition

Does the computer have the installation files from the CD, on the hard drive? Many
manufacturers included the Win98 installation files (which include a large number of
..cab files) in this folder tree:
C:\Windows\Options\Cabs

First, click Start> Settings> Folder Options> View tab, and click to enable "Show
All Files" and click OK.
Now look for that folder tree and let us know if the location exists on your
computer, and if it contains a large number of .cab files.

If you find the Windows setup files and .cab files in that folder tree, you can use
it as the source to extract the missing files.

<canned>
Extract the file from the .cab files on your Windows CD, or from the .cab file
location on your hard drive, to the Windows\System folder, using the"Extract one
file" option of System File Checker (SFC).

Just calling it like I see it. If you don't want to be called a "top
poster" or "full quoter" then apply a little effort and learn correct
usenet posting etiquette.

Quit lying and just answer the question. You didn't answer that
question before.

What-ever you posted or what-ever web-page you're blathering about is
garbage.

Answer the question MEB. Answer it here.

Are Windows-98 sellers on E-bay violating copyright law by
"distributing" it by way of sale?

Re: Copy of Windows 98 Second Edition

Hi Glee,
I didn't see the installation files in the View All Files, in fact when I
hit OK, it doesn't do anything. Anyway thanks for the help! I think I might
get it from other sources.

What a bunch of maroons -

Getting all bent out of shape over the morality of passing around copies
of a piece of software that Macro$haft hasn't even sold for 4 years and
will never sell again.

This is the same Milkro$haft company that has been fined many times for
illegal business practices. And they've bought their way out of being
prosecuted as an illegal monopoly because they gave the US gov't all the
back doors they need to get into YOUR XP or vista computer.

Micro$oft has a proven record of being a sociopathic corporate entity.
They don't deserve to be treated with morality because they have none.

No, it was the hippies. Sorry, I wasn't part and parcel of that
"movement", and my values echo those of my parents, brought up during the
Great Depression, not the Boomer set. I served during the Vietnam War,
while they were getting high on acid.

Re: Copy of Windows 98 Second Edition

98 Guy, are you saying that Apple with Steve Jobs and its prideful ways is
better than Microsoft. How about just going with Unix/Linux like for example
Ubantu Linux which is really free and I have found it to be useful and then
you can just not worry about Microsoft and Apple and your problem is solved
because you are using software that is meant to be freely shared and freely
improved upon and you 98 Guy can make Linux better for the masses and even
easier to use and redirect your energy into a positive and a good project.

Re: Copy of Windows 98 Second Edition

Why would we or in particular I waste more time, again, on you,, you are
nothing, insignificant, hold no value, are unintelligent, and no matter how
many times the issues and questions ARE answered, you never understand or
comprehend the answer no matter how much it "smacks you in the head".. Heck
you won't even review the cases to which you pointed which spell out the
answers to your questions, YET AGAIN. BTW: if you bothered to check via the
search engines you would find that the E-bay/online auction site issue was
addressed in the courts...

You're a waste of time and always have been. Yet another taking up space on
this planet we could all do without. Mindlessly posting in the newsgroups to
make yourself feel important. Another who should ask themselves the question
of just what function you serve on this planet or ever have.
Got kids? I feel extremely sorry for them.

Re: Copy of Windows 98 Second Edition

I have taken it up with Microsoft and I receive no reply to that subject
although Microsoft seems willing to share ideas with me back and forth on
many topics but the issue of selling the 9x source code is not mentioned and
when asked about it the topic is ignored or the employee says they do not
know and all I am left with for my troubles is a big question mark and

Be aware that Microsoft has out sourced their Help and Support, so likely
they really have no way of knowing what Microsoft
administration/headquarters would do. They apparently haven't even got a
direct line/access to Microsoft or its divisions.
So you might want to question just who you actually are "talking to".

The dlls MAY not actually be missing. Does this occur during the
installation process, when the installer tells you to insert the Win98 CD?
You MAY find that by directing to the system folder, the files are already
installed.

As others have suggested, search your local drives for the win98*.cab files
after setting Folder Options to Show Hidden Files and NOT Hide Known Files
Types, they MAY be somewhere on your drive.

As a last resort, there are several sites which have the individual DLLs
for download, however, make sure its a site you trust, AND that you check
them with your A-V program before using. You can also check them by using
Properties and reviewing Dates and Times of creation and modification, then
comparing them to known good files. Note however, that there are programs
which can modify those values.

If you post the intended installation version and model of card/adapter,
someone can monitor the actual needed files. Or if you already know what
those DLLs are other help can be offered.

Re: Copy of Windows 98 Second Edition

Heck, I even wrote to Bill Gates several times about my ideas back in the day
and the letters were never answered and included my thoughts about Windows 98
Second Edition and the future direction Microsoft should take if Microsoft
was smart. I still think Microsoft saw the big dollar signs in the sky shall
we say and thought there was more money to make with catering to businesses
and their dollars and so consumers were left high and dry. Fortunately, now
Dan K.'s research has completely changed how the Internet was thought of and
you know what MEB there still is DNS Pollution out there and it is just that
the breaking of the 'Net has now been made much harder by patching.
Unfortunately, according to DHS there still seems to be a lot of unknown
status out there as far as DNS Pollution goes and I still think some
companies are not taking the issue seriously enough but after the company's
data are compromised then I think they may finally wake up. <smile>
