Still running Windows 98?

Post by XMEN Gambit »

Found this little tech tip:<br>--------------<br>My Computer Locks Up When In Suspend!<br><br>This is a little known bug in Windows 98 that causes the<br>computer to hang when it is in suspend. This is caused,<br>believe it or not, when a drive letter is lower case in the<br>SYSTEM.INI. You can fix this by doing the following:<br><br>- Select Start > Run and type msconfig in the Open: box,<br>then press OK<br>- Select the System.ini tab<br>- Click the + sign next to the (386Enh) section to expand<br>it<br>- Select the line PagingFile= and click Edit<br>- Change the lowercase drive letter to uppercase<br>- Click Apply and OK<br>- When prompted, restart your computer<br><br><br> <p><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif border=0 align=left>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br><br>Though a program be but three lines long,<br> someday it will have to be maintained.<br> <i>- The Tao of Programming</i><br>Life is complex; it consists of real and imaginary parts.</p><i></i>

Nope, got it from a mailing list of stuff like this. This one was so weird, though, that I'd never heard of it, and it'd be near impossible to figure out on your own. So I posted it here.<br> <p><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif border=0 align=left>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br><br>Though a program be but three lines long,<br> someday it will have to be maintained.<br> <i>- The Tao of Programming</i><br>Life is complex; it consists of real and imaginary parts.</p><i></i>
